Long Tom and Coast Fork Farnell�ON� TOM AND COAST FORK NAViGABI�ITY STUDIES �� James E. Farne�l, Ph.�. RQSearch Analvst DIVIS70N OF STA'I'� LARDS salem, 4reqon June 1979 INTRODUCTTON Under the Equal Footing clause af the Oreqon Admi.ssions Act, the tlnited States Government transferred ownership to the beds of a].1 rtaviaable water- ways to the State of Oregon in 1859. At the time of this repozt, the full extent of O�regon's ownership is unknown. The present development trends along our waterways make it aoparent tha� the Iocation o� the State/Qrivate boundaries is of extreme imoortance. The �973 Leaislature recaqnized this and oassed aR5 274.029-d34. This law directs the Divisian of State Lands to �nake a study of all Oreuon's waterways and to make �►sblic their €indincs. This report is the Division's study of the Lon_q Tom arld f'oast Fark F.ivers. The Coast Fork and the Long Tom Rivers are the two major streams at the head of the Willamette �rainage Basin which rise in the Coast Range. The Coast Fork was onc� also called the i�est �'ork of the S�ilZamette. The peculiar name Long To�, like many other apparently whimsical OrNqpn gengraphic names, is a shortened imitation of an zndian tribal name, Lung--tum--ler this was vara.ously rendered Longtabuff and Lumtvmbuff by early explorers in �he reqion.� The researcher wishes to thank Arch GiZ3.arn and Bill Pat�ten af Cattaqe Grove for sharing their knawledge of eariy log drives in their region. Bill Patten also a3.lowed copies ta be made of his early phatographs of loqginct on Mosby Cxeek and Row River. Mrs. Vernetta McCallum also permitted renroducti.ans of her photographs of Monroe.

Smith, a former rzver captain, commented on the past an� pzesent navigability of the Long Tom River in a Z910 Portland newspaper articZe, "The Lonq Tom River, once a naviaa�Ze stream ... has succu�e� to the inevitable an� has retroqraded so far that it would take an exper- ienced riverman to ascend it in a skiff."F Yet portions of the stream had officia3 qovernmental status as naviqable waterways and sustained navigation in fact. Monroe saw its first steatnboat, the Ann on February Z7, 1869. Grain merchants in that town formed the Lona 2om Transportatian Cor+pany, headed by Capt. Swain H. Hendrix, C. Adains and 5. R. Ploodbury. They hovqht the steamer Ann, and in cammand of Aaron Vickers, sent it up to ��!�nroe. In P.pri3 18�9 she sank near Haxrisburg, however, and was purchased by �he 4dill�mette Freighting C�mpany in �une to run on thE Lana Tom.� This rival company hac3 been 3riC0�30rd��+G� in Benton county on March 23, 1fl59 4,ith offices at ��onroe. It was presidec? over k;y James Edwards, Jar�es 8rice, 0. C. Swain, C. B. Eellinqer and five oth?rs. '�ts purpose was "to naviaate the waters of �he wiiiamette River and of the LonQ Tom and other trihutaries." The Rnn only made one trip £ar them to F�onroe. zt was then tiec3 up in a c3eep pooi near the Bruce brzdqe where it rotted. James Sruce and Green Berry �'r.!ith ther. built the Calliooe on the Lona Tom, sold it to the tiaillatr.ette Navigation Company in r"_ay 2.871, and sent it to Portland for mach�nezy. This outfittincr made it tnn heaw tn navicratp P__VP]"( the wi1].amette, and at the foraclosure sale it was taken ovPr hv Bruce in a �ecember 1892.� These tentative and ill fater� ventures comnrised the first phase of steamboat naviaaLion on the LonQ Tom. S The second phase of st�amk�oat navigat�on has extensive dacumentation. D�rina the sprinq of Z896 the Steamboat r,i sy ascende� the Lonq Tom far three �iles to Rickards Landing. In lBo7 Capt. W. �. Fish of the Corgs of Enqineers zecommend�d that th� Long Tom be c�eared of obstructions tq alZow hiqh-water navigation between the mouth and Monroe (Fig. 3).�� ?'he project was ap�zoved in May 1899 anc3 work commenced the Eollowincr Septe�her, The weekly operations reparts qf the Enaineer detailea the remqval of larye overhangiriq trees and dzifts of wood and timber, blasting of snaqs and hard pan, and the straightenina of bends. On rlovemher Z�., 1R99 M. C. Dunn wrote. The �ar we are workinq on now is 23Q ft Long by 50 wzde anc3 abought 3 1/2 ft aboue low water, and this is in my judgment the most c3ifficult bend in Long Tam. slow nrogress is �ade here owe�.ng to amount of Gravel to be moved. z had man and Team er�nlayed last two days and by usi� Powder to loosen �ravel can use Team & scraper to good.advantage. The June 14, 190D lettex summarized the work accomplished and t!�e resultant navzQation:� �t the beginning af the year [endi.nq ,7une 30, �Q�}n] nothinq had been done. The work of clearinq the river of hiqh water obstructians from Monroe to its mouth, a distance of 10 miles was heqe:n Septer<tk;er 1, and comp3.ete� *]ovember 28. This w4rk consisted of clearinq the banks and shoals of overhanginq trees and br�sh and blastinq out snaqs, jams and grave]. bars. A crew of about tweive men were empioye� throughout the time and operatians were carriec3 on by means of sma3.1 baats and from the �anks. � '£he �al lowing is a summary af the work perfornte� .

The last was in �arch 19�0 when the water fell very ranzdly in the r�ver ana the Gypsy just got aut, never to return. '�r. Carpenter confirmed that the mouth of �he 14 Long Tam at that t�me was farther north than at �resent. Within a decade after the Gypsy's final trip the Lon� Tom had reverted to the con�itions �escribed zn the first paraaraph. It is important to emphasize that the actual steam�oat navipation of the Lonq Tom d�rzna the years 1869, 1871, 1899 ana 19�0, occurred over a dif£erent and longer lawer section than exists in the present channel of the river. I� wer.: by Pruce, Rickard's Landinq, and portions of C�Ct1D� 24 and 25 of Township �5 13 Soutn, Ranqe 5 West. mhat is to say it flawe� over thQ section now call�d "Old Long Tom River" on tihe Water Reso�rces uan. This was the rivar's c�annel until after I917. mhere �o not seem to have been licensed ferries on the Lone Tom durinq the early days of settlement, but when tne Fnaxneers reauire� Benton Cauntv ta take out bridaes on the Lawer Lonq To� which obstructed navi�ation in 190�, it was reporte� that a ferry would be put in by the county ta replace Runay bridge {preseat River Mile 1) 1� r�oG n�rvrrrc It was in connection with loq drivina that the Lona '^om receivec� second recognition as a naviqable river. '?'his was hy Lane countv in 3.9�0, at the time Che Corps had improved the Iower r�ver far steam�+oat traffic. J. [��. S?alters, the sawmill operatar from �'lmira, netitioned the *,ane C'ounty Commissioners for the Lonq '£am and its trihutaries, �'lk Creek, *toti Creek and Poodle 9 Creek and tiheir tri�ntaries, �o be each a pukslic hiqhway for the floatfn4 and transpartation oF Iogs and timYser accordino to an 1899 act of the nreaon Legisiature. He also reauested permission to �ui1d dams and hooms in order to im�rove these streams £ar loq transport. The i,ane County rommissioners noted tha� the streams had not hereto�ore heen naviga�le in fact far com- mercial pUrposes or deciared by Zaw to be naviaahle. They ap�raved the p�tition and aZlaw�d the removal of obstzuctions and canstruction of dams, boo�s and other im�rovements, "as �ay he require� ta constzrute eac� of said streams a oublic hiQhway, to the extent of its nresent capacir.y fnr the fZoat- ing and transpartatzQn of loqs, timber and lumrer within the MeariinQ and pur- Ase of the act of the leqislatvre." ►�nder t�is �eclaration walters then ieasea that pub�ic highway from the county for ninety years to ra£t, float and hoom lous, timber, an� lumber; he was allowed to charqe talls to othez users.�� The use of the i,�na Tom for loq flotation �ad be�un �arly in the history of w�ite settlement. Joseph and David �'hite bailt a sawmill at *�onro� in 1852 or 1853 to which Ioqs were flaated on the Long Tom. The suppZy of loqs was soon exhausted and the �ill roved. Another. sawmill at '+anroe was Zease�. �y one Tox�er in 1865 and rnay still have hesn apezatinc in the i870's.� �'hese early Monro� sawmiZls probably did not receive their sawlogs from verv £ar up the Leng To�. BiII Hutchznsan, who lived in Monroe f.ro� 189Q on, sai� t�e riv�r a�ove Monroe was too choked with �rifts to aet even a skif� thrauqh when he was young. But he did recall that a few scaw loa�s of rack tor the MOnTO� �d� WP_rP �Ynt3nht �r,�r f� Y� r�f� r�Y ��r2S�r 4 P3'vc� �iie n j, 2 � "_'he most intensive �oa �rivinq was done an the upper river and tribut- aries, and there was a middle area of the river far wnich no s��idence of com- mercial transport has heen discovered. The earliest notice of �oa clriv�nQ on t�� t�PPex Lonq "'om was on its hiahest reaches between ?iver !�iles �9.7 and 5I.7. 30 �. R. GoZdson testifie� in I899 that he owned a sak�mi�l near the �ower ooint on the Lonq Tom on which site there had �een a sawmill for thirty year previous. The sawmill had gained its loas, almost without interrnption, on the s�rface o£ Long Tom River from above the mzlZ. T�is was the only means af obtainina sawioqs. Four years �efore i899 P,obert Poston had put up a sawmi�l at River Mi.le 50.5, and zts dam obstructe� the passage of �oldson's sawloqs {Fig. 5). An injunctinn was secuted by �,oldson to allow his loqs nast Porton's dam, but a num�ez of lawsuits foZiawed. E. C. Carter, age� 23 years in 1899, who had resided near rnl�san �ost �f�ice fo� 16 years, described the candition of the river fn the sectzon driven durinq the drive of 1899. This was the faurth �rive he had partzci�ated in for Goldson; the €irst was in the year I888. Carter asserted that the �ogs were run over two mzles above Poston`s da�*s, that there was plenty of water to rUn lc+gs, and the stream a•reraqed 35 to 40 faet in widLh durina the running period, the fzrst week in �anuary. Many o£ the loqs were 50 to b0 inches in diameter. There were at Zeast 14 men on the drive in �8$8 and presusnabiy a similar number in 1899. They did not use horse teams, Cackle or chains, but the loqs only ran i00 yards vx so and then jammed, xhe men then had to hreak �he jams an� keep the iogs floating. (The very crooked course of rhe Lonq Tom in that sectian makes this auite understandable.} Car�er said 6-T���,t��� feet af ioqs came down in two or three bunches durinq �he seven days he participatEa in tha drive. The Lane County Circuit Court determine� as � matter of law in this case of Goldson v. ?oston that the �onq Tom was not a naviaa�le river. Presum- abiy the petitzon of walters to t�e Lane County ComYnissioners the fol�owinq year was at Zeast in part tio counteract this decision. Galdson neti�ione� for that privileae in tday 2901, but na action of the Commissioners is zecorded 2 �1 � -� _ ���� � � �y � F a'Y �:��� y ��'lah���' _ _ 1.��..��r LA. � '� _ 'r�w.: . i _ ... _ - ';;� CC'�.a . � '3r.

Likewise the timber we �ave been securinq for years alang these streams is dependent upon the streams for trans- portatian to market. �1ow from our many years eYperience drivina logs on these small streams vre knaw how difficuit i� wou�d be to attempt ta ?�andle 2oqs �or two mi11s where one r�ills loc�s waul� have �o nass the other mill. Z�e had this condition in view when w� wrote you cfferina tn sell out. [As yet you have not� seen fit to canfer wit:� us reRarding any possi�le rights we miqht pflssess b�_virtue of years of work and much money �xpended on thesa creeks,ss� '�he cor.unission iaas so impressed �•,ith the condition of the stream after the years of work of the Elmira Lumber Company that they det�iec� the Dean Lumber Company's application. IL is nateworthy that the Eltnira Lumbez c'omraany's dr.ives seem nct to have depen�ed upon splash dams, which arre not mentioned in the proceedinas, on�y upon wina dams to strengthen the hanks. 18 . ! j:rc �� :r.v e y �sti G -,��� __L_.! � � z �� � � � L 3• -d . -„ , -. ��,_ �-� � —. .-- t —_. -.�—.,-. .—.-.-.,-....�...f.--�.��z.-�-.,��. � --- � ._---- N OT E= ��� A�o.v� C��� Z.va .c �rES oRr.o�v o.

P i ��it�_ . J"�<./Y'oT: C'a r The second company to �etition the Pu}�lic ��rvice Commission for a franchise to drive a tribu�ary of the �o�q Tom was the Veneta Timber Products Company which filed application for Coyote Creek on September 1, 1918. They requested this privilege fram River �ile 26.5 of Coyote Creek to the EuQene- Coos Bay branch of t�e Southern Pacific Railroad which crossed the strear.i a� River �Sile 4.��� In fact they only �lanned to use the river from Riv�r "4ile 23 dawn and the only substantzve improvements tihey p�anned was a splasn dam at River tai�e I2 {see �ap, Fiq. 8d) and �he boom at the railroad tez It ap�eared from the proceedinos that the w. H. Cannady sawmill at Hadley- ville {R,M i5) expected to receive sawlags for their mill on Coyote Creek above their mill after mzd-December 1928 for a distance of one and one-ha3f miles ar to River Mile 16.5. The Commission granted the franchise from RiveY :�iles 22 to 4 of PoodZe Creek on �ctober 31, Z918 with the stipulation that the portion between River Miles 15 and I6.5 be impraved by removal af drifts and abstructions hefore December i5, 1918,� Thirdly, Che Bonrgeis-Evans Lumber Cornpany petitianed for a franchise on the Long Tom and its tribu�aries on February Z9, 1929. This campany already had a sawmill on Hayes Creek, �vhich em�ti�s into the Lonq fiom at Piver �ile �5.4� Their application therefore included up to River Mile �9.4, just a third af a mi�e below the location of the earlier �. P. Go�dson sawmill. O��erwise �he � sactions of the Lona Tom and its tributari�s specified was almost identical with that requested by the �ean Lumber Company. In the six years between the �o applz�a�i�ns, the cast of characters in the lutnberinq industry on �he upper Long Tom had considerably altered. A. w, Fox had a mill just be2aw Noti on the Long Tom, but only drove a�out two and one-half miles on the river al�ove the mil� and its dam, and that had been for oniy three years ending in I921. fihat was the last date that the speci�ied portions of the river ha� been 19B driven by any company. T'he �lmira Lumber Company had so�d ovt its timber in the area and had not done any recent drzvina, The lack of �se in the intervening few years had left the Lonq Tom, �Ik, Poodle and *Ioti Creeks chaked with logs and debris: Fox testi£ied: I put dams in there to float my logs down. I couidn't work without that. I put it in goad shape and 2 had quite a few �ams in there. I los� quite a number of m� lqqs but I c�uldn't lumber ther� without having flood dams to do i� with because in the winter time when the water is high you can get your loqs aZright, without that you had to have your dams. Q. Are any af those dams there now? I think there is one of them. It might be fixed so ��at it could be used. Q. Can you qet that timher out w�thou� impravinq the stream at this time? Xes, I could run it out as far as I have cleaned it aat. You may �ave to cut away jams, noG much. S. H. Conrad who lived on FZk Creek and was a tiinber owner {see note 33 for logging on his lands and use of E1k Creek) objected to the franchise on Elk and Noti Creeks because those streams were "a�ready onen and has been used f�r mare than twenty years, at Ieas� twenty-five years, and the public has enjoyed the free rights." He contended that khe franchisa should on�y be � given for River .iiles 4�.5 to 49.4, the area which in fact needed clearinQ and other improvements. �n 1y14 the Com�ission conclu�ed thaL: no portians of said streams w��hin said Iimits (Lhe fu1Z extent of the appiication] in their natural condition, are naviaabie for f3oating logs of other timber products exce�t at certain times af the year, and that ail of said portions of said streams, covered by �his applicatian, may be made naviaable fnr £ioating logs or other timber products during the months of November, Jecember, 3anuary, February, and �7arch of e33� year by the zmprovements contemplated by the apqlicant. 19D �he franchise was crantsd, and in the ,�e�r endinq 7uly 1°25 the °ourgeis- Evans Lur.sber �ompany �ad driven 2,355,475 feet of sawloas down the river and boomed and rafte� 300,�0� feet. �ut it apPeared they had onlv -3one so in the few �iles aireadv improved by Fox!� ^be compan� di� not entir�ly rest on the o�or� of their nredecessors, ho�ever, as the re�iniscences of some of t�e area residents testify. ��esta CuII, aaed 7I of �tot�, are�� uo at the eonfluence of Poodle an� *?oti �reeks.

'' . • � . � 's �avzcA�iou There was never s�eamboat naviqation o� the Caast Fork o£ the w�llamette, but it was sufficiently wide and dan�erous ta warrant the �stab�ishment of ferries in the early days af settlement. Thomas W. t�hittemoze had a license for a ferry across the Coast Fork in 1853, and in the same year Elias ?�. Briags had one for a ferry acrass the �ain West Fork of the Willamette. Whittemore's iicense was zenewed in July 184a. �7oseph Petty was qranted a Iicense by the Lane Caunty Commissioners for the Coast Fork_ in I85� and i8ti2. The OCM Railroad Company was issued a license in Juiy 1865, ?�1�e lacation of these �erries {or single ferry) was not given in the Commissian�rs Journal. In *?ovember 1870, however, Nelson h�aagert was bouna to keep a ferry on the Coast Fork of the hizliamette where it was crossed by �he military road. LOG DRIVES As i.n othez areas af Cregon, sawrtills were necessary from the first days of white settiement in the Coast Fork basin. At Dorena on Row River there was a crtide sawmzll in 1853; faur years later in �857 Harvey f?azeZtan ruilt a sawmil� on SiI3c Creek at Cottage Gzove. Up the Coast Fork J. B, and � J. M. Rouse buiit a sawmill at I,ondon in 167n; tf�ey had loqqed their r�roperty since 1866. 48 They probably had sent the logs �o a mi}.�. ownec� in 1867 ??v Phi2ip N�e�s, w��,Z�,� P�s�� ��;��a *�,�allcer and Jor:r� B. Rusner at Giver "�iiie 33. The normal mode by which �Vumbers anc3 his partners seceazec? ].oas for their mill, hovrever, was �y oxen. 1�urinq the severe w�nter of 1867-8 tihey even had recourse to hand rollinq locrs from t�e hills into their r,ill nond 4� ,7, J. � Comstock �uiit a sawmiil at Latham (near RM 25) in 1879. 2t had a da� and boom for storage of Iogs, some o£ which may have been receive� down the river. The first direct evidence for drivinq on the Cnast Fark beqins with the Thomas Brumbaugh sawmill. The 1870 Census reported that the mill, which was located in the Cottage Grove precinct, received its loqs frqm �hree �iies above the mill on the Goast Fork.S� Durinq the spring and surnmer af either 1884 or I885, Olzver and Briggs drove 4,000 railroad ties ta Latham from the W. �. Shortridge mill beiow London and an even larger number from t�e �ouse Mi1Z two miles above London (�iq. 12). In ApriZ 1885 Lanqdon and whiee reported to E. W. Whippie tha� Mr. Chapin had put a wire fencE across the rzver at RM 25 just at�ove Latham ta pravent the runninq of logs past his house.� On November 6, i905 the Lane Caunty Cammissianers permited J. B. Rouse to use explosives to r�move rocks, logs and other obstructions in the Coast Fark from Latham to 8 miles above the Coast Fork Lumber Company mill at �andon in his business af dr�ving loqs and lumber in the river. (The Coast Fork Lumber Company had bought out the Rouse-Geer Lumber Company during the svmmer of 1901.}� Befo�� the Lane Connty Co�rt gave Ro�se permission to blast in th� Coas� Fork, there had been �wo mishaps in loq drives on the river. Early in March i903, Sherman Shortridqe had been jolted from the loc� he was riding when it passed over a betirock rif�le six miles south of Cottaae Grove; he was nearly crushed and drowned.� The followinq November, Charles Davis was drowne� in a log jam an� his body �as not discovered unti3 the £ollowing February at the Shortridge mill six milgs helow where the mishap occurzed. This means that the drive had bequn above River �zle 40. In the same month that Davis drawned, The Co�wnbia River and Oreqon 27 Timberman reported on the Pacific Timber Cpmpany of Cottage Grove. It had just opened a new mill at Alca, 6 miles south of Cottage Grove. The company had two other mills located on the Coast Fork, about I2 miles south af Latham, Th�y used the river to drive ties and i�mber to the railroad at Latham which then carried it to the Alca mill.� In bctober 1905, J. B. Rouse receive� by conveyance the riqht to remove timber from the property around Cougar Bend (RM 5, Big River) witn the us� of splash dar�s. Levi Geer actuaZZy carried out the locgina. He used two sp2ash dams, one at Cougar Bena and anather a shart distance above the Rouse sawmill at Amos {RM 38) (Fig. 23). This was the highest area o£ drivina on the Caast Fark main stem. Beginning in 1905 Ambrose �. Woodard drove �oas to his sawmilZ at La�ham {Fig. lA). "Riding a pair of ties as if they were skis, he would dart to and fro, steering logs or poles away from rocks or hrush. �n some of the drives the cookhouse was floated down the stt Dn September 6, 1911, Woodard was allowed by the Lane County Commissieners to blast snags, locr jams and abs�ructions in the Coast Fork from Latham upriver 10 miles to River Mile 35.� Each year beginnzr.g in 1907 the T�r�erman reparted on drives on the Coast Fark. George W. Corawa3.I, ec3itor af the Timberman,was a member of the Lumber- men of Cattaqe Grove. � In January I907 J. f?. 3�ouse, Londan, was runninq the I Coast Fork !�!i7.1 and had a qood many ties piled waitinq for favorahle watez to run them to Z,atham, which was his shippinq point. In Septer.�ber 19C�A, A. w. �TOOdard, Cottaqe Grove, was regorted to have received a�rive of 700,000 feet of Ioqs down the Coast Fark (Fiqs. 15, 16).�� FinalZy, in November 1909, "rr.. C, Short�idge, London, will operate h�s mzll full capacity ti31 the first of ,7anuary, on a tie orc3er for the Denver & Rio Grande Fail- road. The ties are floated down the Coast For�C to Latham and shipped thence 2B _'�',�.�,� 5 ti�� _l - ! �:� - . ; ..�+. .

The Shortri�ge mil2 has a capacity nf alaout 15,000 feet of lumber per day."� In Decerr�er 19�1 the Rouse an� Shoz�riage mi31s were stiZl in operation. For the third time they had been cited be£ore �he circuit court for dumQinq sawdust into the Coast �ork. �n each time they were acauitted hecause the sawdus� entered the stream when the �achinery shook it throueh the fioor planks of the o�d mzlls which w�re partly constructe� over the river.�� Boa�h-Kel�y had a larqe sawmill at savinaw, but it did nat receive its �ags from the Caast �ork. Rather a proc�iaious saven mile fZume from their Prvne Hill Camp was used for timber transport (F'�q. Z7).�' Pesides the frequsnt mention flf Coast Fark Iog drives in the paves of the Timberman, deta�.is on the use af the river for ti.mber flotation have been provided to the Division of �tate Lands hy Mr. Arch Gillam. of 7525P London Rnad, Cottage Gzove. Mr. GilZam is now 8h and hegan cirivinq tf�e �oast Fork with his brother Chet in 1907 when he was fourteen years o� aqe (Fig. 18): That was up here about a mile above here. I went up on Cec�ar Creek and startecl logginq and we put the�n in the river up here to drive. And we drove lots �f Zoqs and lots o� pilinq an�? *_ies and as near as I know now I'm the only one Ieft that ever drove the river. Arch Gillam worked directly for ,7oshua Ra�xls in Z��7 who �ad a Iaaqinq contract with A. L. Waodard to del.iver the logs to his Latham sawmi�l: We had a rollway a mile above us. An�i of course then we ha� sluice dar�s in the river. There was, oh, tnree or faur sluice daz�s in the river at that time, and even in sumnter time wt�en the water was la,�, why we would have the dams ful�, and then we'c? sZuic� the loqs out and drive them to Lath �n down right at the CortaaP �rnvP. �'his bunch (of 1oGS) was aoina [to] Latham. They went that way from here, clear up to where they had another dam. There was anather mii1, up here above, and anythin� that came in helow tnat we aiways drave to Latf�am. But anythina above that, and there �,�as �ots of logs put in above, was put into what they cal�ed �?�ortridge's ?�ill un there. It was �own across the first hridQe �n tf�is side of London jRM 35t, right on tihP other side of that bric�ae up there was a mill and th�re was anot!�ez sluice dam riaht down below that hri�?qe 30f} yards in the river.

Then there was another miil up about a mile above Londan, they had a flume qoina in down ta the rive� and from it they ran ties into the river to drfve, we drove lots of ties. (FiQ.18) As for improvements made in the river f�r the log drives besides sluice dams, Mr. Gillam stated: The river was �.ots different �hen than it is now, because �hey put in side wings so as to keep from cuttzng the banks ana where these cen�er islands co�re in now on mosL streams, they kept them cut off and cleaned out, so locas could qo through.... I put fn lots af wings, what they call winq dams, they'd be so the water would come �own and hit �t and kE�p them from ct►tting banks and stu£f. Thongh logging on the Coast Fork was economical because the sp2ash dams al�owed year around transpart of the iogs to the mill, the dams were not necessary at ali tin�es in order for the Coast Fork to be ah.le to sustain log drives. In answer ta the questions, '�lould they have to use the dar�s a1��. the time? he repZied, " No,in the winter time �he water was up hiqh enough tE�at sometimes... they had to have pretty adod booms to h oid them." '"hat could be any time from October throuqh '�arch. As for the Zimits of the river used for drivinq, A4r. Giilam stated that some iogs wou].d go as far as t�e Chambers Mill just above Cattag� Grove (Fzq. 13). As for the upger Za.mit of iog �rivinq, lags were brouaht ta the Rouse Mi�l from: way up in the Couqar Bend country there, they drove Iogs from clear up what they call ane o£ the old Shortridae hotnesteads up there riqht on the river, it's way up hiqh on the Coas� FDi�C River. xou're gettinq pretty we�l hack in the hills when they auit driving loqs down that river. On Li�t].e River up there there was a dam, and they never arove Zags down throuqh that dam, but thEre was a shing�e mill up there and we cut shinqle bolts and drove them down the river to the s�in�le mill, cZ�ar up to Slack Butte. The Caugar Pend to Rouse �?ili drives cauld also occur with normal strear�flow during the winter when the water was hiq"�. 35 r • . . �. � �� � 7° i �� � ' � � ,l�1q�'Sf��w�3.

In one drive they took aut 4 r+illion fe�t, one millian �eet in a sin_qle sJ.uicina. Horse �eams were usecl to nut stray logs back in the river and to hxeak iams; many jams, however, were brokpn just with peaveys. Boats were not us�d on �he Coast Fork loq drives, though, as noted a3�ove, the caokhouse miqht occasionally be f3.oate�? downrivar. As for the size of the crew, "Tt wasn't cenerally too biQ a crowd of us. I've wor3ced when we'd have as high as sax and eicrht men, but smal..ler crews were cominon.

The use of Mosby Creek �or Zaa and tie fiotation was don� mostly with natural flow, but some s�uicing was done. It lasted for about six years in the early 1900's. Because most of the loq drivinq on Row Rfver was done on its headwaters, Laynq and Fra�k Brice Creek, only with the aid of splash dams while othex sections ware used infrequently aver anly short stretches, the State would not s�em to have a claim to the bed of this srream. For Mosby Creek the lower nine miles were ased reau2arly to float timher with ordinazy streamFlaw by several operators for at least six years in the ear�y nart of this century. There£ore the State could claim the bed of that portian of Mosby Craek on the basis of timber fZotation. �c�EA�zoN There is a very small amaunt of baat ffshznq from �elaw Cattage Grove Reservoir to Cottage Grove. Below Cottaqe Grove and especially belaw Saqinaw, however, (Fiq. 26) theze is moderate boat use at all times af the vear: for trout in spring, zecreationai hoatin�, canoezng and raftinQ in summ�r, duck hunting from October to January and trappina in winter. The lnwer five miles of the Row River (Fig. 27) also sustain summer pleasUre boat nsaqe, particular- ly by canoeis�s.� � S�MMARY On the basis of loq driving, the state �as a cla�m �� ��e �ed of rhA Coast Fork o£ the Wi�lamette River from River Mile 23 to Riv�z �ile 45 and prohable claim to the Iaaer nine miles of the �ed of °1os�y Creek.
