' Picture of Bear Creek at Main Street Bridge During: the February, 1890, Flood. X Indicates East Bank of Bear Creek, BEAR CREEK EIGHT FEET DEEP AT COREY'S GROCERY In 1854, my fallier nnd his brother came to Meilford from the Willamette valley. That .spring; a flood swept down Hear creek. The water extended from the present west hank of Bear creek to tlie foot of the hospital hill. By measuring; the driftwood in the trees then out on the level at the present-location of Corey's Grocery, the depth of the vater was found to be eight feet. .Two men by the names of Dover and Lewis had a larttc herd of .eat tie H'razinjr on the east, side of I'.ear creek. These cattle were all swept down the stream and drowned. Several years asro Hear (.'reek broke through near the southeast corner of Karheart's place, on the east side of the creek, and quite a stream passed through the old channel across the proposed school site. (Signed) . S. I JIAKXEBURG. Pi & E. SITE NOT PROPER PLACE Al'ler a, continuous residence of thirty years in Med ford, and liaviii!: had opportunity to see the hifih waters of Hear creek at dif ferent times, I do hot consider the P. & K. site a proper place for Uie high school.' (Signed) . (i. Ij. SCIlEiaiKRIIORX. WHEN ED WILKINSON WENT DOWN WITH THE BRIDGE ! Koincthin;; like t hirly-three or thirty-four years ao when Hear ' creekxwas up to a lieiunt that it tooK some or the Duililinfjs down slreain, one barn on the east side that was filled with hay went out, 1 with the chickens floating down stream on bunches of hay. i The wasion bridge on Main street, and also the foot bridge, went i out when Ed Wilkinson, .standinif on the latter, went down with the i bridge into the water and lost his umbrella. This would have been! 1 bad time for a liijtli school on this low land. I hope it will never j come attain like that, nut it Mm rams in Oregon, the stream was1 wide and covered sonic of the fjround on the cast side. ' Wc are sure the soil is good on that side, for it has been washed in by high waters. We feel Ihat all public buildings should be on high, sightly ground, not merely that someone might profit by loca tion. As I have no children to go to school 1 always try to vote to the best interest, of the school children and to my way of thinking. In this flood I helped swing the box across the creek' to bring tho people over. The old creek has been some menace to the public most every spring. W.M.DAVIS, 4(12 South Central Avenue, Medford. BULKHEADS SAVE THE P. & E. SITE The old, channel of Hear creek runs under a house just west of Corey's (Iroccry. (This, is adjacent to the proposed location of high school building.) ' This old channel can easily be seen from the rear of the lot. ' ; In 111(10 a flood began to cut through the old channel. Two dif ferent times in the early, history of Medford they took up subscrip tions to build bulkheads, to keep 1he waler from following its old channel,. (It did break through near Cottage street), and, no doubt, such nici as 11. T. Nicholson, Charles Strang, Hubbard brothers, the Lawtonf, Dr. I'ickel, Ed Wilkinson and Jackson County Hank will remember contributing to this fund. ' T. E. 1'OTTENCiER. Dr. E. H. I'ickel, Medford 's premier physician and health officer for many years, crowded a lot of substance into a few words the other day when a friend told him he was going to vote fifr the P. & E. rite because the tourists traveling n the Pacific highway and east on Main street to the Crater Lake highway, could all see the high school building. The doctor replied 1 ' Yes, when they see it, all they will .say afcout it is, 'What a hell of a place to build a high school!'
