the apple orchard, the roots of sev
eral trees being exposed for 10 or
12 feet into the bed of the channel.
In 1921 Thomas Creek cut a chan

deep through this property, ruining
a large strawberry patch, at which
time the profierty was owne«l by
George Merdian. Mr Bartlett now
fears the next high water will take
his orchard and walnut grove.
He
came near losing his life, he says,
while working al night to protect
nis property, when a big tree float
ing down caught him and he was
«wished down stream on It. He
kept his head and managed to grab
hold of some willows at the bend
above the mill and saved himself.
