I�]TR4AUCTION
Under the Equal Footing clause of the Oregon Achnissions Act, the United
States Governiaent transferred rnmership o� tl�e beds of aIl navigable waterways
to the State of Oregor� in i859. At the time of this report, tY:e ful� e�ctent
of Oregan's awnership is us�known. The present development trends aiong our
waterways make it apparent that the location of the state/privaLe boundaries
is of extreme importance. The 1973 I,egisl.ature recognized this and passed
OR5 274.029-034. This law directs the Divisian of State Lands to ma]ce a study
of all Oregon's waters�►ays and to make public their findings. "�'ha.s r�part is
the Division's stady of the Molalla anc� Pudding Rivers.
These two very diverse streams jain about a mile and a quarter before
their ca�on entry into the Willamette River. �'he steep-graded Molalla has a
name derived frcxn the Indian �vord for strawberxy which also designated the
Indian tribe of the region, The sluggish and meanderinq Pudding was named
far a feast ot b}.00d pudding prepared by trappers' squaws after a fortunate
wi;nter kill of elk on the lower reaches af that waterway. Alth�ugh th� two
rivexs drain a ri.ch agricuitural land which inclad�s part of the first area
of the stats's settlement, the preponderant com�nercial use of their waters
focused on two txibutariea, St7.ver Creek a� the l�udding and Milk Creek of the
Molalla. Ho� of these streams drained rich areas of fir timber and were
used for over two decades to drive saw logs to mill and market.

BASYN OF THE l�40T�ALLA AND PUDpING RIVERS
The combined basins of �he two rivers form a scaliop-e8ged circle
Iocated south of Canby near th�ix conflusnce with the Willamette and immec3iately
eas� nf Salem an the westexn and soutnern circumferenc�s (Fig. Z).� The Pudding
River �ises in the Waldo Hil.ls between Saiem and the Cascade �iountains wh�,le the
Mola].la rises from the slopes of three western salients of the Cascade Range:
Table Rock, Soosap Peak and Goat Mountain. The Mo1a11a Iies wholly within
Clackamas Cbnnty as does the mouth of the Pudding. The latter river and ane
of its major tribt�taries, Butte Cre�k, Form the principal part of the Y�oundary
b�tween Clackamas and Maxion counties. Tl�te major partion of the Pudding River
systmt lies in Marion Caunty.
Because the Mol�lla rises in mountains which impinge on the Willamette
itiver plain, it has steep gradients in its upper reaches, but this moderates
in the 20 miles below Molalla where ttie river continnes, hawever, to have
many riffles. Stream f1aW data have only been collected at two points on the
MalalZa, near WiZ2toit (RM 32,5) and Canby (RM 6). At the upstream station the
average discharge since 2932 has been 5�8 cubic feet per second with a high
of 24,300 cubic feet and low of i8 cubic feet per second. Measurements near
Canby since 1928 show an average discharge a�sproximateZy twice that at wilhoit,
or 1,160 cubic feet per second With a maximum of 43,5Q0 cubic feet and atinimum
of 20 cubic feet per second.
The Pudding, which has its source in the low Waldo Eiills, flows far raost
of its length over a f�at plain. ConsequentZy it has the s�owest, most
convaluted course oE any river in the state, the Tuaiatin and Ya�ahill Rivers
aot �xcepted. There are no flow recorc�s far the main s�em of the Pudding River
or for the comba.ned discharge of it and the Molalla.

The larger tribntaries af tt�e Pudding join it fram the east where
they rise in the foothiXls o£ the Cascade Range. Their caurses are consequently
straighter anc3 swifter than the raain stem of the Pudding . T�ao of these
tributaries, Butte and Silver Creeks, have recorded stream flows. Intermittent
readinge for the former stxeam since 1936 show an average discharqe at
Monitor fRt� 7.7 of Butte Creek) o€ 224 cubic feet per second, maxim� 7,310
cuk�ic Ee�t, mini.tt�um 0.15 cubic feet per second. At Silverton iRM 6) on Silvear
Creek the average stream flow since 2963 has been 21I cubic feet per second,
somewhat less tY�axt for Butte Cre�k, and a�aximu�a of 5,90Q cubic feet, minimum
of ��.15 ctitbic feet per second.

LOG DRIV�S: MdLALLA E2IVER
As an old-time resident of Mo�.aJ.�.a, the central town of the river valley,
recalled in 3�976, its industry "was always predort�inantly lumber. And that
would include iogqinq which was necessary ta produce lacrs far lumk�er. And in
the town when I was a young man, a young bay even, in the tawn [and) surround-
ing country there were many sawsr�ilZs. It was auite common, And many littie
lagging outfits." f?e later adde�3 that many of them brouqht the out�ut of their
operations into Molalla by horse and axen.� Our question is: which of. the
many sawmills which flauri.shed in the Molalla val�.ey used tY�e river and its
tributaries as the necessary means not only of motive power for their machinery,
but also as transport for their logs?
An even older resident, Charles �r?. Hardy, born in 1981, set dawn his
remembrance of the early days o� the valley in the E'arly History of i�olalla
Ma le Grove, Russellvi2le, Colton and Other Nearby Areas. For most of the saw-

32, "Otta Kletch had a mill on S}'!p� Gun Creek. He mad� 2 sets abave Map1e
Grove school ahaut 2 1/4 miies, but mastly he hauled on pZank. roads." � The
Doernbecker Furniture Campany reqistered its loq 3�rand with the Clacka�nas Caunty

C1erk in May 19�4 for logs fZoated in the Molalla, Puddinq and Willame�te
Rivers for their sawmiil in Clackamas an� furniture manufactory in M�ltnomah
Co�nties. Hardy states that it "had a loqqing camp where the present Weyer-
haeuser Camp is now. That was on the rTorth Fork of the �olalla River (RM 26.3�.
They floated logs �own the river fofi a time, but it did not prove satisfactory.
The need of raads and trans ortation was '
p gxeat in that day.'
Fred 5hafer, who had a sawmill at the mouth of k�oodcaok Creek [RM 12.5 af
Milk Creek], �sed horses tn brinq �ags to his mill. "He mostily cut railroad
�ies zn the sas�maill and floated the ties dawn thP river to Canby to tak� them
out.....W. C. Noon had a miZl on kloor3cock Creek, too, not f�r �rom Fred Sha£�r.
He cut railraad ties and flaated them dawn a flume ta the [Mol�lla] river (R� I9]
and then down to Canby in the river.....Shaf�r used the same flume �s W. C. Noan
on his first 'set' qn the creek."� A. F. rioyer attache� 1�,000 ties which
Shafer, as the Atlas Timber and I�uinber �ompany, was canveying down the Molalia
fram this �lume in �907. The ties were intended both for the Sduthern Pacific
Rai�road at Bariow and the mouth of the �olalla.��
Ther� is other information concerninq Shafer`s drives in tihe Tzmberman
In �anuary 1905 the periadical re�orted that "Fred Fhaver bouqh� the Russell
Bros. sawmill at Mola�3a {ar.d] �o�tracted fcr 25,^G7 ties whic� he Wfll flaat

8,648 fence posts for Tull. The same year wil�iam Mainwaod put 573,96A feet
of sawlogs into the t4ola11a for Tull at River Mile ��,
The Molalla evidently posed difficulties for 1aq drivers. mher�fore, the
much smaller but more ev�n-fldwinq Milk Creek (Fig. 3), which paraile�e� the
course of the Molalla o� the north and flowed for some 3� miles at the hase of
hills richly timbered with fir and cedar, provi.ded a natural flume which was
used for many years by �e�mbermen in the region.
In a lawsuit concluded in �91� the de£endant James Adkins averre� that-
for more than ten years last past, immediately prec�dinq the brinqing
of this suit, [he) was cantinuously enqaqed in the manufacture of
lumber, his mill beinq situated an M�lk Creek, ahout one mfle up stream
from its conflu�nce with the Molalla R.iver.....That the said strpam is
the largest trib�tary nf sai� Mola]_la Riv�r, an� �ar many �iles ahove
defendant's mill its banks an� contiquous territory are covered with an
abundant growth of inerchan�a�l� fir and cedar timher, suitable for mill-
ing purpases, and the same constitute the �efendant's main source of
supply. That the said strea�, for many miles above the defen�ant's mill,
in its native condition is, and durin� a�l the times herein mentioned has
been naviqa�le tor the floataqe of logs from the aforesai� titnbeX lands
down to the defendant's mill, and for more than ten years, i�nmediately
prior to the beqinning of th�� suit, the �efendant has so use� sa�d
stream for the purpase af txansportina iaqs to his aforesaid m�ll.
That during all safd time th� p�aintiff [�. L. Trul�inaer) has like-
wise heen engaged in the milling of lumher aL a pofn� up stream on said
creek about six miles distant �rom the defendant's mill.....
That particularZy during the year 1q0� the defendant expend�d larqe
sums of money, to wit: The sum of $12,70�.0� and upwar�s in the purchase
of iogs and logqing and preparation for floataqe of loas down said s�ream
and improvement of said stream to the mill of plainti€f with the intent
then and there of floatinq the sa�e down said stream to his aforesaid
mi21 fdr the purpose of manufacture of the same inta lumber.
Trullinger claimed that Adkins' improvements wer.e splash dams whose release
damaged the banks of t�a river an� his millsite, near tihe present L'nion Mills
on Milk Creek (Fig. 3A). The court ordered in �ay Z�10 that Adkins was to
peel or bark his Zoqrs so that �hey would not damage Tru�linger's dam and was
onZy to drive durinq the natural flow of the river and stop the use of splash
1F
dams.

Adkins had indeed used Miik Creek far a decade as these notices from 19d� in
a lumber trade journal indicate:
Adkins Bros. of Unton �Milk] took advantage o£ hiqh water to run
�ogs dawn to their mi21.
Adkins Brothers of Lower Milk Creek Ltnnb�rinq Company, at Meadow-
brook, f.n Clackamas County, have purchased a fine body of timber
from A. L. I,arkins, and have a crew cuttinq ].octs at the "Last
Chance" camp. They expect to send 2,00�,0�� feet of logs down
Milk Creek next winter.
Jess Adkins told the researcher on May 4, 1979 that the "Last Chance" camp
was, �ike the mi.11, near the mouth of Mi1k Creek, and that Jim Adkins alsa
logged on Buckner Creek. Jess Adkins wt�s about 1� when he remembers the men
going out to brinq loqs dawn Mi.lk Creek. Ne also rer�embers that every three
4r four years the flour mill owner brought a sui.t against Jim A�kins for t3king
logs over his mi21 dam.
Even earlier there had been an altercation over lag �riving fram Buckner
Creek to the H. H. t+!hee].er sawmill near RM 2 of M.ilk Creek, a sawmill which
Wheeler hac3 operater� for eight years pzeviausly. f�urinq the fail af I�95
wheeler fell and banked SQO,OQO feet of sawlogs a mile and a half up Buckner
Creek (Fig. 4), but when he commenced to drive them in January 1895 a rival
mili cnvner, C. T. Howard, obstructed Buckner Creek wzth trees and brush, Arevene-
ing the drive. iioward claimed th�t Ruckner Creek was nat navicrable and had a
surveyor and a 3d-year resident testffy that it was not navigable, even foz locrs,
and had never been so used. .7udge Thomas A. McBride of the C�ackamas County
ca.rcuit Court founc� for the plaintiff, V]heeler, fa March 2697:
In arriv�.ng at this conclusion, Che court makes the followfng
finaings af fact: lst That Milk Creek and Auckner Creek described
in the complaint are navigable stXeams for the floatage of saw 3�pgs.
2nd That the defendant owns and maintains a dam across said stream,
that is an obstruction to the navigation of stsid stream with saw Zeqs.

such a way as to do no unnecessary da�age to the defendant herezn.
Another user of Milk Creek for log driving was A. S�efani. He arranqe�
in 3une 1913 to have 300,00� feet of saw logs driven from RN 15 on Mi�k Creek
l9
to his mill at Canby (�M 3.5, ��olalla).
In 7une 1908 Oscar FIulti was accused hy the �tate af thrawinq sawdust from
his sawmill into Mi1k Creek. Hu1t purchased the mill at Colton durina 1��F
20
i��ig• 5A,C). Vera Lynch tells more ahout F;ult's nperatton and the use of
h4i�k Creek for Zog transport:
N. P. Hult an� his four sons owne� and operate� a sawm�ll on *�ilk Creek
at Co�ton [RNI 18] to cut railroad tiPS. At ane time they owned aroun�
1,500 acres of timberland alonq the creek and floated the �oqs downstre�m
to the mill. In July a� 19�3 they purchased the �avi� F. LofQren sawz+�i�i
at MuYino [RM 6, Milk Creek; �ig. 5B] and not only floated ioqs tio the
mill but also sent the output down tihe waterway to the railroad skdinq
near Sarlow �RM 8.5, Molal�a), tp �e loade� nn Southern Pacific flat cars.
The mill capacity was 25,00� feet of ��mher and 4�,000 shina��� a day
that kept 17 m�n busy. Both mills ran out of logs years aqo.
They,were miLlinq at Colton �ntil at least 1919. Mr. Carl �wanson who grew up
and still Zives in Calton stated that thE Iogs were brouqht to the Hult mill,
located at the present Bpy Scout Camp, by chutes and a splash dam. The lat�er
was about a half mile above the mill and parts of it are still besz�e the creek.
Mr. Swanson us�d to swim �oth above the splash dam an� the mill dam when he was
a boy. He artirme� that finits sent the ti�s from �.oiton miii t�M i8i aownscream
on Milk Cr�ek to their other prop�rty at MuZino.

near Colton on Milk Creek.�
Thus a mini�um 18.5 mil� length of Milk Creek and 2fi.3 mi�es of the
Molalia sustained significant timber transport activity. Milk Creek was

the Molalla for at I�ast the decade 1904-1914. Both were used by several
lumbermen and constituted hiqhways fox commerce in the ti�her indUStry.

�ay Massey af the Ciackamas affice nf the Oreaon Department of Fish and
Wild�ife makes a rough estimate that about 2�0 drift �ishing boats per year
use the Molalla River. Most enter at Gaods Bzidge fRN1 �? and flaat down ta
Canby or the river's mouth. �raver boatmen enter as high as Plagon ��eel Park
(RM 28.6, Fig. 2B) and flaat dawn. The low use of the river is partly account-
ed for bq lack of qaod boati ramps. T�e Depart�ent of �ish an� Wilalife wishes
to put severai mere ramps into the river, bvt the hi�hest wou�d be near the
road to Colton on Hiahway 2ZI (RM 1�.5). From the mouth af the Molalla on the
willamette, the Boones Ferry �arina reports that so�e jet boats ascend as high
as Canby.
Joe Weatherby of the Department of Fish and wi�dlife's Salem office does
not have any data on suz�face hoat use of the Puddfng for fishinq or other
recreational use. There is little good publi.c access, �ut some �ersons with

NAVICATION: PUDDII3G RIVER
There was probably onXy one ferry across the Puddf,ng for a short time
at t}�e beginning ot white settlement in the area. In July 1852 a roa8 was
established in Marion County �rom a fer�y on the Pudding Rfver to the Butteville-
Sal.em Road. In April 1855 a bridge replaced Ixvin's Ferry across the Pudding;
the bridqe retained the name Irvin's Bridge. Both refererices were probably
to the same ferry crassing near the future site of Auroxa, ten �niles upstream
fraa the Willamette River,
wi.11iam Barlow, James M. Parlow and an optimistic group of projectors
aECUred incoxporation of the Puddinq River Transportation and Naviyation
Ccsn�pany from the Territoria� Legis�ature in Z858.� It was "empawered to remove
or cause to be removed, fxom all that part of Pudding River between its mouth
and the bri.dge over the said River, knowrs as 'Irvins bridge', all timber,
timber trees, logs, brush and ather things obstrncting the navigation of safd
river." They were also given "the riqht to transport qoods, merattandize arjd
freight af all kinds, up and down said �iver as far as said company shall make
the same navigable, belaw said bridge, and to and �som any point of �tte Willamette
river, accessfble by said imparovements." Indeed they were required to ]teep the
stream clear of obstructians in the designa�.e� secti.an and w►ere to make the
stXeam fit for navigation witt�in two years of the grant of the charter.
On Febrnary 18, 1860 the canpany ran the steam�oat �oose under the command
of Capt. John Kruse up to Irvin's Bridge iFig. 6A.). This was repeated throuqh
the spring of the year. In ApriZ 1860 t.he Oregon Farmer announced that the
success of the Moose's run had encouraged the company to attempt navigation to
Parkersville (l�i 37).�� The route was ahandoned during the sam� year, however,
because the whole projact apparentlg depended on the tempaxary separation of the

LOG DRNES : PUD17�i3G 1?IVER
'rhe Pudding River and its trik�utar3.es had sawmills located on them from
the first years pf w�ite settle�nent in eastern Marion Co�nty. Thus at MiZford
on Silver Creek, two mil�s above the pr�sent silve�ton, James 5mith and John
Barger erected a luntber miZl as early as Z846.� I3. G. Torpley possessed a
sawrt�ill an or near this site in 187R. In 1852 L. D. fiail erected a�umber
miil at the mouth of Abiqua Creek (ItM 45.5), and i.n 1863 there was not�ce of
James C. Hutton's sawmill on the Abiqua. c'h►e a� the oriainal miZls at Scotts
Mills was a sawmi11 and R. H. Scott continued to style himself a lumber dealer
in 1884. Jamieson and Bowde� had a sawmill on the Puddinq directly east of
Hubba.rd (RM 17) in 1878. There was also one at that date at Parkersville and
at RM 9 of the Little Pudding River, the Zatter apexatec� by Schwartz and Wood-
warci. A 17-year-ald hoy's body was found in the Schwartz millpond ir► �+arch
1887. This partial listing of sawmills alana the Pudding River system con-
firms the statement of the historian of the Sil.verton area that mi11s of "small
capacity were at variou� times to be found on a1.1 the rivers aad creeks."
As with the Molal�a, our question is: How many sawmills in the basin
received their loas by riv�r txan�por�.?
For many of these mills there is no zecord df hoa� they obtained their logs,
for others the onZy evidenc� is that they were dragged to the mill hy horse teams
or oxen, but for several the Pudding and its tributaries were uti�.ized ta floae
logs to the mill. Between June and Npvember 1891 some �2,000 feet of logs were
�6
moved on the Pudding A.iver to th� Peter Scharbach and Louis �o�lenback sawmill
2 1/2 miles east of �?oodburn (RM 23-26),
In 1893 Elijah fimith and Ole Opsund had a mill at the confiuence of Power.s
Cree3c with t�e Al�iqua (RM 8.8, Ahi�xua); loqs were draqqed to the Ahiqua upstream
of the mill and flaated down to zts �.oa pond. 250,000 £eet of saw logs w�re
later float�d on a 1}./2 mile lenqth of the Abictua above Fores sawmill between
October 1905 and the end af .Tanuary 1946 by Frank Lamm (I,amb) who had a splash
dam at RN! 12 of the Abiqua. The next year ttertzler and Haskell of Gv'oadburn
remnvec3 their sawsniZl to the Abiqua as the �biqua Lumber Campany. The miZl had
a 50,D0� foot per day capacity. A large spl.ash dam was usea to transport logs
to the sawmill wh�.ch the dam's constructars c3escribe� enthusiastically to the
Titnberman in a Ietter 4f Novemk�er I3, 190F:
Our dam on the Abiqua was huilt under contract by E. P. �3ronkey, of
Woodhurn� Oreg. We have tested it very thoroughly and findl that it
meets ev�ry requirement. It is �.6{? feet in ienqth, 30 feet high and
B5 feet in width on the bottem, 1/4 pi.tch or run to the floor, 14 feet
dead head. The water i.s discharge� through two lFi-foot Qates, the
gates beinq nearlp automatic a� a?.6-£oot head by openir�g two small
gates and filling the rock ha�.last boxes with water, we usec� nearly
500,OOQ feet of locrs, 60,DOQ feet of plank, 1,20� tons of rock and
gravel, 4,fl04 pounds drift bolt�, 1,500 pnunds of sQikes. `�he brush
at tha toe is fro�n � to 10 feet in depth, 35 feet wide and lOd feet
in lengt�a across the bed of the creek, which makes ft ve�y secure from
undermining. We have a contract to deliver 20 million feet o� logs
to the Hertzler-Haskell I.umber Co�tpany's mil� on the Al�iuua (two miles
north of Silv�rton} a distance of abaut seven miles from oux timber.

In i897, .T. 1�. Mortensan and �t. P. Hanson reqisterec� their bzand with the
Clackamas County Clerk to drive P,utte Creek.�� �ro years �ater F'anson was drown-
ed on January I9, while breaking np a log jam on that creek upstream from their
mzll at tAonitor (R'� 8, Butte Creek; Fiq. 5R} , In MarCh 19c13 Morti.nson Saw
Mili Co., Scotts �iills, announced they �ad "awarded a contract ta Jones & Lamm
Bros. , loggers of Silverton, to cut 4, 5(?f?, C10b feet of lo4s along Rutte Creek and
drive them down the creek to the milZ.
17
Pa cific Coast Wood & Iran noted in lApl that F. S. L. Baqhy had recently
put in a sawmill on Rock Creek, Clackamas rounty, and floated 2,�0�,��0 feet
of logs to it dawn Rack Creek. 47 ThP Ti.mberman followed the exnt�nsion of this
company's opeXations. In Decem�er �9t�3, 13aqby Lvmber Company of Aurora was
clearinq the Pudding Rfver froom Butte Creek {FtM 2p,2} to Aurora (RM 9) as w�11
as both Rock Creek (Rr�4 15.5) and Butte Creek proper for a 15-mile drive to
Auroza.� The Saqhy mill was on the site of the old Aurbra coZony loq aond
which hac3 heen sold to the Ragby company. L�qs had not heen fioated ta the
Aurora co�ony sawmill, but brpught in by oxen. At the time o£ t?�e 1�3R(} Census,
however, it is possible that loqs were be�.nQ f1oPlted on the Puddinq to the mill
at Aurora.
The area of log drivinq to the Bagry mill at ?�urora was extendec? hy Fzecl
�hafer in March 19D4 to tY�e head of CaaZ Creek (PM 19.7, 8utte Creek) for a
35-mile c3rive down Coal and Butte Creeks atid the Pudding River. Cuttina occurzed
on 5ections 3 and 4 of Township 7 Soukh, Rar�qe 2 East. Durinq that tirne Shafer
ta�k out 1,100,0�?0 board fee� of fir saw loqs. When Baghy I,umher Company exper-
iencec� financia� reverses in 1A�15, the river drivers hac� to sue in order to
recover their wages for the winter season 19�ti--��,� Bill Martensen also drove
Autte, Caa2 and Hiqh Hills Creeks, hut hy means of splash dams.
The most sustained ev�c�ence of the use o£ one of the Puddf.nq Rzver tributar-
ies for loq flotation occurs for �'ilver Creek. That thi.s stream was used for log
transport in the 1680's is establishec� by f-?omer Davenport authar of The Countxy
Boy In his atter.ipt as a youth to drown a cat from the �ilvertan bridge in mid-
wzn�ez, he noted that the creek was at its highest and that saw lbgs were runnirsq
thick, as thouqh this were a normal occurrence at tnat time of year. �ilverton's
largest loq boom at that date was �7ohnson's on 5ilver Creek. Just hefore Chri.stmas
1886 the Silverton A�Speal reported that Fred �ooch was enqac{eci in aettinq out
200,000 feet of ].ocxs for Goocirich and Company of Milford. M. 7ohrison and Son
�8
were gettinq out loqs for their mil� near Silvertan durinq the same week at the
Porter place on SiZver rreek (RM 9 or 9, 5ilver Creek�.� On the follo��ir.q
New Year's �ay the newspaper re�orted. that Jahnson and Son cauqht c�uite a
number of saw logs durinq the �reshet in the previvus week.�
'Three years later Gibson S. Erwin had a force of inen hankinq Ioc�s up
Silver Creek getting ready for high water. Joh�son and Ek, who had jofned
fozc�s and improved their sawmill with steam-driven machinery, planned to get
their loqs down the creek the same winter in order to do a large �usiness durina
the followinq summer. The plans of both ffrms were disconcerted by a record
f 10«3 .
Jnne Drake, Silverton photographer and first president of the Silverton
Hfstorica� Saciety, reca2led that durinq those years before automobiles and
mavie theaters, one of the chief winterti.me amusements in Silverton was to
watch saw logs pass under the Mafn �treet Bridge on their way to J. H. Lichty's
sawmill three miles below tor*n an the Puddinq River (RM 48.5). Amusement tu�n-
ed to desperate alarm in February 1890:
There was lots of snow on the head waters of �ilver Creek, heat►v ra�ns
came accarnpanied by warm chinook winds, meltina this snow, the run of£
was quick, sending the waters of Gilver Creek up to an all time high.
Tn those days there were no bui2dinqs on West Maxn Gt. near the ald
covered bridge that spanned the stream. These waters n�arl� reached
the Methodist Church, corner of S�1est Main and F'isk sts and passinq
between the bents of the hricige approach.
This extra hiqh water as k�eZl es the loas riding its crest attract-
ed the curious.
dn this particular day people seemed to be uneasy as the water was
realZy high. LatE that �vening a man came running down the street shout-
i.nq "Save the bridge. Johnson's logs �rake loose."
Citizens sensznq the danqer of the hridge heing ta�rn out hy the on-
rush of trousands of logs jamming the stream from hank to bank, rana the
fire be11 to arouse all availarZe peopl.e so they could do a11. that was
possa.ble to protect the or�ly cxossing on the stream, besfdes the Rail
Poad bridqe.
There saon was a solid mass of immense logs passina over J�mes dam
just up stream from the bridge. �ome of these logs went on down stream,
19
while others would pile up by �he side of the dam, hexng he�d there
by �he back wash.
Men with pike pnles, others with Zanterns stood on the bridQe
approach guidinq ioqs �etween the bents of the bridqe a�proach so
th�y woul.d not jam.
I was a small k�oy tnen liv.ing aThere the Ames Hardware stare
now is. Which was one i�lock fro►n the dam and across the street frnm
the bridge. It was sb dark we could not see much, but the shoutinq
of inen, the roar of turbulent a�aters ana the l�oo�ning of the loc�s at
the dam will never be foraotten hy those heina therA on that t�ectic
nzgh�.
It was Zearned the next day that a tree, lim�,s anc3 all had been
k�lown into the stream abave Erwin's Mi1Z coming down stream to the
hoom, choked the narrow sortinq_ passage way and stopped the run of
logs, th� boom finally hrake loose and with a hunch of logs hore down
onto tf�e Johnsan boom tEarinq it loose and freeing the imnounded Zoqs.
The Lichty mill operators caucrht the runaway lags an the Puddinq
River flats and bought therrt.
The Johnson and F.lk mfll moved to the Silvertian Ni.11s and the
�rwin mill soon passed to several different owners.
The Johnson and Flk mill �roduced 500,000 feet of ]�umber at its riew location in
58
1895.
Fleven years later the F,rwin mfll again suffered a similar disaster, As
the Si�verton Ap�eal recounted the events on �Tanuary 19, �9�1, heavy rains
and "melting snow transfarmed Silver Creek inta a raqing river. I,aggers went
up the creek Iast week and Zoqs rec�an passinp Saturday evenina. They were an
abject af considerahle znterest as they were borne alonq by the rushinq current.
It was thought that Irwin's sawma.11, rrow owned by Gtalker and Arnet, would float
away Monday marninq. " 'I'he machinexy was moved to hiq?� qroun�i but the loc�s whi.ch
caused the flaoding around the mi.�l alsa crowdec� into it anc� preventerl. it from
being carri�d away. Between �pril 13, 19D1 anc� ,7uly 13, Z9�Z, F?. R. Smith
aro�ie �notner i3i,4i8 reec oi w�ite, yeilaw, and red fir logs from his Zand to
the sawmill of R. D. Arnett on the north hank of silver Creek into Silverton.
In 1903, however, his mi�.i was sold to the C3nion Liqht and Power Company who
began to transform the site from a sawmill to a power generatina plant,
Despite such catastrophies, s�,lver Creek continued ta sustain log �lotation
during the first years of the twentfeth century as is borne aut by company

registration of their �og marks with the Marion County Clerk under terms o£
the 1�91 "Act ta Protect the Title af the Owners of FZaatinq Loas, Timber and
Lumber." Wil�iam H. Frwin r�gistered his marks to ba used on �i�ver Creek
on November 22, 19p0, a few month before the ahove damaqe to hi5 milZ. John
Lichty en�ered his Mark for Silver Creek and its tributaries on septe�ber 28,
1903, and A. M. Ross of Portland, "dozn� a generai, sawmill lOQql�q and Iu�er
business uQon Silver Creek and its trihutaries and upan Puddinq River", reqist-
ered his mark an Nove�ber 20 of tre same year.F
As tor the actual portians of SiZver rreek which sustained these laq
drives, we have noted above that �TOhnson an� 5on �ere �Ioatina �oas down fram
the Porter place at either RM B or 9 of 5ilver Craek in 1886-87. Circuit
Caurt cases in Marion County from the first d�cade of this century qive more
details about the actual river miles of Silver Creek over which loq drives
occurred. Between 4cto�er 1, 1897 and December 1, 1900, W. R. Smith drove
1,239,140 feet of fir saw logs from his land at RM 12 of Silver Czeek to the
Johri Lichty mxll on the Puddinq R�ver below Silverton where the Silverton-SaZem
Road crosses the Puddinq (Rlul 49.6). The loqs were put into Si]ver Czeek at
Smith's property on Silver Cxeek (Fiq. 7). �uring 190I a witness in the same
case said tihat he had counted 1,4�I fir saw loas in the Lichty locp ppnd an the
Pudding Ri�er which had heen delivered on cilver CXeek �y Smith.�
In Union Li ht and Power Co. v. John Lichty (92 �r 563) it w�s establishe�
that Lichty owr�ed 1400 acres of timber in th� headwaters area of Siiver Creek.
In order to ge� his logs tio his mill in Silve�ton he built two sQlash dams, the
first six miles upstream of the p��r campany dam at the site of the a1d Frwin
sawmi�l. As that dam was at RM 6 af Silver Creek, Lichty's lower splash dam
would have been at RM Z2 of �ilver Creek. C, td. Rrown, mem}�er of the firm

that:
for ten miles ar more above the city of Silverton, and to within
two miles of Silverton the cr�ek flows throuqh a canyon, and has
high banks and a rocky be�.....durinq the winter freshets �t is
not always practicable to float 2oqs �own the creek on acco�nt of
the rapidity af the stream, and that while ioqs can be floated on
the winter an� spring freshets �hey cannot be so prafitably floated
as by means of flood dams. That if the channel was clear�d of
obstructions the loqs could he easily floated on the winter freshets,
hut the sxpense of cl�arinq thF chann�l woUl� h� so Qreat as to
make it impractica�le.
Lichty said essentially the same thinq in his statement of. Auaust 1, 29�2, but
adde� that he had been "in the lurnber and loqai�Q bus�ness in the vicinity of
Silverton far the past 13 years" and that he had:
floated loqs at different seasons of �he y�ar durin� s�ch time more
or less, the largest portion of which came from below where my lower
dam is now lacateti, and that it is very difficult and expensive to
f�aat lags down Silver Creek in the winte� time on account of the
rapi�ity of the stream and the numerous obstructiqns, and that for
the �ast 3 years i have been unahle to net my 1$�s down the creek
on account of there not being suffzcient water.
On �ew Year's Day i904 Lichty was killed while releasing the flood �rom ane of
his newly-built sp2ash �ams, and the followinq Geptemher his sans sold the
lumbering operation and Puddina Rzver_ sawmil� to 7phn G. I.,ais.�� fihe latter
became invoZved in a water use s�it, decided fn 1968 a�d �rouqht �y L. Ames,
owner of a Sash and Door Facto�y in Silverton. �he findinvs bf fact in this
case established that:
at reqular occurrin� peria�s in time durinn the fali, winter an�
sprinq freshets Silver Creek fs naviaahle £or the �urpo�� pf
floatinq saw logs from the headwaters thereof ta his mil� at
Silverton but said Silver. Creek for a qreater part of the way
€rorn its source ta within two miles easCerZy of fiilverton f3ows
through a canyon and �he only means of outlet ta sai� timber
is by floating the same down said creek.

The a�ove evidence shows from the eaxly IABQ's until �9�3 the unaided
flaw of 5ilver Cr�ek was used for the transportation af saw loas fxom its
P.�; 12 to its mouth and fro� there ta RM 48.6 of the Pudding �iver. From
�903 to 1910 �ilvex Cr�ek continued to support log drives over the same
section, but durina this period drives �itilized the suQport of splash dasns.
There were �ater periods of locr driving on the Pudding Fiver and its
tributaries during the year 1925-30 and aqain into the I940's. �tr. Ed Bisanz
of Silverton rememb�rs d�ivznq loas durina the former years from below Rock
Creek to above Aurora an the Pu�dinq all the way to the wil�amette Rive� where
they wer� raft�d and went to mills in Portland. mhe logs caFne from various
lando�,mers alonq the river �nd were genera�ly cut an� rolle� into the river
durinq the summer. h�enever the river r�se in th� fail and while the water
remained high, they would Chen he driven to the mouth of the Puddina-t�olalla
R.ivers. During the hiqh water loas were often swept ashore an the more rapid
flawina Molalla nurinq the same years he alsa drove Zoc1s to the .TO� �isher
sawmili on Rock Creek for ahout three or faur seasons. This could only be done
at the hiqhest stages of the �ater fram necemher thro�Qh March. Logs were
taken �own Pock Creek from szx to ten �i�es ahove the mill. Dvrina the svmmer,
when the loc� supply qot low in the creek, �ogs were brouaht to the mi�l by horse
team and then by truck. ��ater transport was essential for these johs �oth
because they lacked Zarqe trucks and the fact that the so�l in the area was only
firm enouqh for land carraiqe du�zna the summer manths.

SUMMARY
'Fhe i��olalla Ri.ver was used by a variety of lumher compana.es to drive
saw Iogs and railraa.d ties from RM 26.3 beginning before J.904 and ending in
1916. Ther� was a Ionger and heavier period a� log driving on Milk Creek from
i�s RM 18.5 to RM 3 of the Molalla at Canby ur►til after 1913. 'S'he 5tate would
�herefore seem to have graunds to claa.m navigability in fact far the Nlolal�a to
RM 26.3 and for Milk Cre�k �o its RM 18.5.
The actual navigation of Yhe Pudding River and its tributaries gresents
two problems of Zegal interpretation to the Land Board. In the first glace
one of the two sources regarding steamhoat navigatian of the lower t�:n miles
of the x'a.ver states that this was aniy possibZe when the Pudding occupiec� a
separate cha.nnel trom th� Molalla, thouqh it is likely that the Mo1a�1 was the
riv�� that depar�ec� from the two s�reairES' present comrron entYy into th� Willamette.
'�he second prnblem is that the poztion of the Pudding R.iver sy'stem �hat sustainer�
�he h�aviest and most continuous log c3riving - Silv'er Creek - was not contiguous
with the othex navigable portions of that river.
�`he facts o£ navigability for the Puddinq River are: 1} s�eamboat use
during the spring of 1860 from fihe mou�h to RM 10; 2) log driving �rom RM 48.6
to RM 12 ot �i3ver Creek for at least �a� decades be�are 1°03 wit� unaided
�
stream flow and for seven years thereafter with the assistance of splash dams;
3} Butte Cxeek was driven from before 1887 to 190b ov�r i�s lower 19.7 miles;
�}) PudBina River itself was used for log drives during various years fram before
I897 to the �9�0's from at least RM 26 to its mouth in the Mo�.a11a and WilZamette
Rivers; 5) Rock Creek was dxiven both at the turn at the century and again in
the 192Q's and 30's over its iower 10 miles; 6} small portions of Coal and High
Hi1.ls Creeks were a�so used for log t�otation as was a portion of the Abiqua
above its RM 8.8.
