Valley Knew
River Victim ;
Silverton A Salem and Sil
verton local interest angle of the',
illustrated article appearing in
the Capital Journal Oct. 19 re
vealed by Mrs. Charles Amos of
Silverton.
The story concerns danger
and final tragedy "which may .
lock secrets of the raging Colo
rado river system" perhaps for
ever, written from Mexican Hat,
Utah, and concerns two fearless
adventurers, Bert Loper, near
80 years of age, who boated the '
Colorado for 58 years, perishing
in a cataract of the river, July
7 and the late "No. 1 river
man," Norman Nevills, who is
more the subject of the local
phase. .
Mrs. Nevills, the former Doris !
Drawn, was a niece of Charles j
Amos of Silverton. Her mother !
is now Mrs. Bert Dingledime oi
Santa Cruz, Calif. Mrs. Nevills
was reared in Lebanon, lived fot
a few years in Portland and
went to Utah, later, after her
marriage. Surviving the Nevills
are their two daughters, 8 and
12 years of age, and their grand
mother, Mrs. Dingledime.
Though it was Nevills who op
ened the treacherous river to
tourist traffic, and since the
early thirties had never lost a
passenger tourist, many movie
actors included in his patrons.
He and his wife lost their lives
September 19, near their home
in Mexican Hat, in an airplane
crash.
The couple was well known
throughout the valley, especial
ly in Salem and Silverton, where
they visited frequently.
History states that the Major
John Wesley Powell in 1869 first
traversed the river downstream,
and although since then around
40 persons had been killed Ne
vills had a perfect record against
fatalities.
