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.

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.
Chilean Sailors Find
Canada's English Easy
Vancouver, B. C. OI.R)
The first Chilean warship to
visit Canada was docked here
Saturday while Us crew went
ashore to leara an understand
able brand of English they
couldn't pick up from Ameri
cans. A spokesman for the crew
of the 6.000-ton attack trans
port President Pinto, In port
as part of a goodwill mission
to Canada and the United
States, said when the ship
docked Friday:
"Now we hope to under
stand English. The Americans
use too much slang for us
and they talk too fast for us.
But we understand you Canadians."
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.
Permission To File
Circuit Judge Ashby C. Dick
son Friday granted a Portland
attorney permission to file an
injunctive suit against the fed
eral official to stop the free
patent issue.
Attorney Leroy Lomax told
Judge Dickson he understood
that Mr. and Mrs. Henry B.
Taylor, The Dalles, Ore., had
applied to the Department of
Interior for a free patent after
they had received a warranty
deed for the tract.
Additional legal action may
follow the injunctive proceed
ings, Lomax indicated.
The 800 acres of land was
sold by the Bureau of Indian
affairs which held the land in
trust for two Indian owners,
Jasper Grant and Harold Thorn
ton, who had been declared
incompetent by the Interior De
partment Lomax said after the original
sale of a title abstract indicated
value of the timberland jumped
$165,000 within 24 hours.
