A A - A AAoJ A A a- J M- lAcfion Underway IUICUIUI U IVIUUCI IV1UVCU UNCI C j0 Piecemeal From Gold Hill Units Transplanted During December Over 18-Mile Route Church, School Profits Are Reasons The Brownell motel at 1102 North Riverside avenue bow , looks as though it bad been built on the spot Actually it was re cently transplanted, piece by piece, from a location on the banks of the Rogue river at Gold Hill. Mr. and Mrs. George E. Brown ell, owners and operators of the business, and their two small children, now make their home In an older residence at the mo tel address after the 12 units of the motel were moved over 18 miles of back reads to Medford. Brownell said he undertook the big moving project because his wife's church is represented in Medford, he hopes to find better schools for his children nd to get a better financial re turn on his investment. Mora "Impulse" Trade With a location on Highway 99, Brownell can expect to at tract more of the "impulse" trade here than at Gold Hill, where a projected relocation of the high way to the opposite side of the river from his business would have isolated him from all trav elers except those who had his place in mind as a destination. His decision to pick up his es tablishment and move it to what he felt was a better spot was made in November. The job was started in December and fin ished 15 days later. Guy Cox, moving contractor, handled the project after special permits were granted to haul unwieldy loads over the high way and county roads. The cost mounted to about $100 a day nd was accomplished without a hitch. One of the tightest squeezes for the trucks loaded with mo tel cottages was the narrow bridge over the Rogue river at the south ' edge of Gold Hill There was no room for any oth er traffic while the Cox trucks were crossing the span. But the loads used the high way for only a short distance. J-ist outside Gold Hill they turn eo. ff on the Old Stage road where grades were steeper and curves sharper but traffic much lighter. The motel was reopened for business at its new location on February 1, less than two months after it had sent away its last guest in Gold Hill. Some work remains to be done blacktop- ping, landscaping and other im provements. But the cottages have ben remodeled with asbes- tas siding and the motel is now an established Medford business, the only one to be transplated here physically. i i i i 4 I I i r Ji'L . . v L. ORIGINAL LOCATION This picture was taken before the Brownell motel was moved from its original location at Gold Hill. Situated on the present site of Highway 99, the business, depend ing largely on "impulse" trade, would have been cut off from highway traffic by the proposed relocation of 99 to the south side of Rogue river.

ENROUTE A Brownell cottage forms a bulky load on this Guy Cox truck between Medford and Gold Hill. The motel trans planting was accomplished in 15 days at a cost of about $100 per day by the moving contractor. Most of the 18-mile trip was made on the Old Stage road to avoid heavy traffic on the main highway. NEW LOCATION The' remodeled units of the Brownell motel are shown here at their new location at 1102 North Riverside avenue. They were reopened for business February 1 but some additional improvements are planned by the owners. On Indian Lands - Portland (U.R) Legal action was underway here Saturday in an attempt to prevent Interior Secretary Oscar Chapman from issuing a free patent on 800 acres of Indian timber land near Gold Beach, Ore.
