At the age of 14, S. M. Calkins left Wisconsin and the snow and moved west to Oregon. He learned shorthand and bicycled the "circuit" from Eugene to Medford and the south coast with Judge Skipworth as a court reporter. At the age of 49, S. M. Calkins was admitted to the Oregon State Bar and opened his law practice in Eugene. He had a general practice, including representing the city of Eugene as city attorney. He was joined in the practice by his brother W.W. Calkins until 1932. W.W.
