Application Filed For Bear Creek Watershed
Rogue Soil Conservation dis
trict directors today announced
the filing of an application with
the state engineer for technical
assistance in developing a work
plan for the proposed Bear Creek
Watershed project.
From the engineer's office, the
watershed application will be
submitted for review by the Soil
Conservation service, the fed
eral agency assigned to head
up the nation's small watershed
program, known as P.L. 566.
High Toll
The rampaging stream has
racked up nearly a SI million
toll in damages to farmlands,
property and utilities in the Ash
land, Medford, Central Point and
adjacent areas the lust two years.
Watershed construction work
completed over the next five
years, would be financed under
a local-state-federal partnership.

the U. S. Department of Agricul

flood prevention phases of the
flood works. This cost, the water

so that neither leg nor princess
slip is exposed.
As for hemlines, the daytime
lengths are the same as last
year. For dressy occasions, some
costumes reach the ankles or the
floor, fitted neatly to the figure
all the way down. But there are
plenty of cocktail and evening
dresses with uneven hems, some
of them short as a daytime dress
in front and cut to fall just a
little lower, thanks to a fan-like
inset, at the back. Or some go
all the way to the floor at the
back. Others also feature the
wrapped skirt, draped much
like an Indian sari to leave
walking room.
Here are some other trends
you will want to watch when
you're doing fall and winter
shopping:
"Regal" silks and satins in
evening wear, showing the in
fluence of the forthcoming visit
of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince
Phillip.
Plenty of trim-fur, beads,
buttons and bows on every
thing from sweater to evening
dress.
The bias cut in sheer wools
and silk crepes, a cut which the
late French designer Vionnet
made famous.
The sailor influence, with
the middy over-blouses used in
both daytime and evening cos
tumes. .
Suit collars that are flat,
and standing away from the
neck to leave room for neck
laces. Suits with bracelet length
sleeve, ending just a few inches
short of the wrist.
No shoulder padding: most
coat and suit shoulders drape to
the natural figure.

Rogue district leaders say the
Bear Creek proposal is being
supported by many local
agencies and organizations in
cluding Rogue SCD, Oregon
Game commission, Oregon Water
Resources board, the city coun
cils of Medford. Ashland, Jack
sonville and Central Point. Jack
son county chapter Izaak Walton
League, Ashland chapter Izaak
Walton League. Rogue River
Flood Control association, Med
ford Irrigation district, Rogue
River Valley Irrigation district,
and League of Women Voters.
The U. S. Forest Service and
Bureau of Land Management,
with sizable areas in the water
shed are expected to develop
land treatment measures in the
upper reaches of the watershed
in event the project receives top
level approval in Washington,
D.C.
235.000 Acres
Bear creek, a tributary of the
Rogue, has a watershed of some
235,000 acres in Jackson county,
and is served by four farmer
voted groups; Rogue Soil Con
servation district, and Talent,
Rogue Valley and Medford irri
gation districts. Public lands in
the watershed include Bureau of
Land Management, 21,365 acres,
and National Forest, 22,610
acres. In addition, there are
small acreages of state-owned
lands.
Bear creek has a long record
as a renegade flood stream.
County Engineer Paul Rynning
reports that the February; 1956.
flood damaged 250 homes, caused
losses of $200,000 to irrigation
systems and facilities and around
S80.000 to roads and bridges.
The city of Medford alone spent
to repair flood damage.
Undetermined damages were suf
fered by Ashland, Talent and
Central Point.
Engineers' Estimate
The Corps of Engineers esti
mates that the 1955 Bear creek
flood caused damages of $121.
340 to agriculture; S2.310, resi
dences; $34,700, utilities, rail
roads, highways and roads, and
$41,560 to flood control and irri
gation works.
As one of the main Rogue trib
utaries above the mouth of the
Applegate river, Bear creek
flooding caused scouring eand
pollution which damaged the
famous Rogue river fishery of
salmon and steeihead. It is esti
mated too, that the 1955 Rogue
river flood destroyed close to
$300,000 worth of chinook and
salmon.
Flood specialists point out that
Bear creek's extra heavy flood
flow in Medford would have
caused more serious damage had
not the stream been extensively
improved shortly before the
overflow.
Bear creek high water also
chalked up considerable damage
in 1953, 1948. 1943 and 1940.
One of the most devastating
floods swept down on Medford
on Feb. 27, 1927 when the flow
reached 10,200 cubic feet per
second.

grazing and cut over timber land
in the higher altitudes are erod
mg severely due to overgrazing
and improper logging practices.
Several thousand acres of farm
land adjacent to the stream and
three of its major tributaries,
Griffin, Jackson and Willow
creeks, were damaged in the 1955
and 1956 floods.
The 1955 and 1958 floods also
washed many acres of fruit trees
and with the seasonal flood
threat, orchardists have become
reluctant to replace them on
lands adjacent to the creek. '
Aims of Program
By reducing the frequency of
Bear creek floods, the watershed
sponsors hope to cut down sheet,
gully and stream bank erosion
on farm, grazing and timber
lands, sedimentation on farms,
roads and streams and damage
to roads, bridges, business and
residential property, plus pollu
tion of water supplies.
Other benefits accruing from
the watershed undertaking add
up to more water for Talent,
Phoenix and Ashland municipal
supplies, and stabilization of ir
rigation water supplies.
wildlife gams. too. as plans
shape up. Maintaining water
high in watershed areas would
provide late season flows, thus
increasing the productive poten
tial for salmon and trout. Step
ping up summer stream flows
would lower water temperatures.
reduce scouring of gravel bars
and stream bottom, and prevent
loss of fish through stranding.
Specialists note too that main
tenance of a higher water table
would produce more permanent
springs and streams, benefiting
all forms of wildlife.
District Chairman
C. W. (Chet) Jensen comment
ed, "We launched our watershed
project with the full backing of
many organizations and local
leaders. We know of no active
opposition to the proposal. Local
people seem willing to set up
tax-levying districts to raise their
share of easements, rights-of-way
and maintenance costs. Just
about everyone agrees that it's
high time that something was
done about stopping those Bear
creek floods."
