If you own the house, change all the locks. Then she will have to negotiate with you in order to remove her belongings.

Dan Meek's idea is a good one -- change the locks. You don't mention if you were legally married in Oregon or not. It may make a difference as to yours and her legal rights. Especially if you were married (or are still married but split up), you should consult with a lawyer who handles divorces and other Family Law issues. It's not a "civil rights" issue, which is how you posted it. Good luck!
