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!' "
