Historic Town's Past ATrue Wild WestAdventure-By Patti McCollum

County Meusum

Throughout the year 2008, the quainttown of Canyonville has been celebratingits existence as a community for longerthan Oregon has been a state-more than 150years.

The area is very rich in Native Americanand pioneer history. Canyonville's story islike a colorful western movie full of drama,victory, tragedy, and anguish. It needs noartistic license to make it interesting. Thetrue story stands on its own merits withoutembellishments.

The following is a compilation of info &excerpts from several local historicalsources.

NATIVE AMERICANSPrior to 1858, there were several bands of

Native Americans living in and around thearea. They had occupied the area for hun-dreds of years. The Umpqua watershedwas known as their trade, hunting and gath-ering area. Deer and Elk were abundant aswell as salmon and steel head. Berries,nuts, and other plant life provided food andmedicine to the local Natives. The countrywas and still is dramatically beautiful, andto this day continues to attract new comersand tourists to the area.

FUR TRAPPER RENDEZVOUSTrappers for Hudson Bay Company trav-

eled thru the Canyon as early as 1828.Because of its geographic location, justnorth of the Dread Canyon of theUmpqua, the valley leading up to South

Umpqua River and the Cow Creek Valleyto the west, it was a natural meeting place.It became a Fur Traders Rendezvous.

FIRST CONTACTIsaac Boyle was the first white trader

who went up the South Umpqua Valley totrade with the local Cow Creek NativeAmericans. Many of the fur traders wereFrench or French Canadian. They and theirdescendants intermarried with the CowCreeks. Hence, several prominent CowCreek families have surnames such as Ron-deau, Dumont, LaChance, and Pariseau.

Chief Miwaleta presided over the differ-ent bands of Native Americans. Miwaletawas known for being friendly with non-Indians and later counseled his peopleagainst joining in the Indian Wars duringthe 1850s. At first, the relationship betweenthe Cow Creek tribal families and the firstsettlers was truly one of sharing from thebeginning. The tribe could offer huntingand trapping skills as well as medicinalhow-to, while the pioneers brought withthem the ability to cultivate the soil andintroduce more crops.

APPLEGATE PIONEERS & THE HAZARDSOFTHE GIANT CANYON

In 1846 Levi Scott and the Applegatebrothers came through Canyonville on theirsearch to find a southern route to Oregon.Their intent was to find an alternate route toavoid the dangers of the Columbia portionof the Oregon Trail. This route would even-tually become known as the ApplegateTrail.

However, the Canyon was to become themost arduous and hazardous portion of thetrip. It took weeks to bring wagons throughthe canyon. In some cases the pioneers hadto ease the wagons down by ropes or taketheir wagons apart and move them down-stream by hand. Pioneers had to descend tothe creek bed to travel due to the steeprocky slopes projecting up from the creekedge. They were soaking wet sometimes-icy cold for weeks.

Sometimes, wagons and belongings weresimply abandoned.

One example of the tenacity and strengthof these pioneers happened on November

Canyonville, A True Wild WestAdventure

25, 1853. The wagon of Mr. &Mrs. Hans Weaver broke down inthe Big Canyon. They had noalternative but to walk with theiroxen and the few supplies theycould carry with them intoCanyonville. Mrs. Weaverwalked the entire distance carrying a smallchild in one arm and leading a second childby hand. That night Mrs. Weaver gave birthto a third child, Elizabeth. Since she had noclothes for the child, a soldier gave her hiscoat to wrap the newborn baby.

By the time settlers came through theCanyon on the Applegate Trail, they wereexhausted from the daunting task. SoCanyonville was a natural stopover. Somepioneers stayed and some moved on.

FIRST SETTLERSIn the spring of 1851, several pioneers

named Roberts, Weaver, and Knott settledin the valley. Then in the fall a new wagontrain headed up by Captain C.J. Hillbrought additional families such as Briggs,Gazely, Fullerton, Beckworth, and severalothers for settling the area. Land claimswere filed shortly afterward under theDonation Land Claims Act of 1850. Josephand Elizabeth Knott opened a trading postin a log house. Knott's inventory of sup-plies included tobacco, overalls, andwhiskey. Today, the building is the locationof B&C Antiques.

GOLD DISCOVERY & DEATHIn 1852, gold was discovered on Jackson

Creek. The area flooded with miners fromCalifornia who filed claims on rivers andstreams. All this growth came at hugeprice for the Cow Creeks costing them theirvery survival. This set the stage forincreasing tensions between the NativeAmericans and the newcomers. Epidemicsswept through their villages, killing mem-bers of the Tribe, including their belovedchief, Miwaleta.

BETRAYALDuring this difficult time, the Cow

Creeks seeking a peaceful solution, entered

a treaty with the federal government thatresulted in ceding their homeland 2.3 centsan acre. Land ownership was a foreign con-cept and Native Americans did not fullyunderstand it. The US Government sold thesame land for $1.25 to pioneers. To furthercompound the travesty, the US Governmentignored the treaty and did not pay the CowCreeks what was agreed to in the treaty.

BOOZE, MAIL CALL, & GOSSIPA post office was established in 1852. At

that time there was a North Canyonvilleand a South Canyonville. South did nothave a post office. Eventually the two ends

of town merged into one.Mail was delivered on Sundayafternoon and there was usu-ally a large crowd waiting. Inaddition to mail, the carriersbrought news of politicalevents, disasters, and gossip.It was a Sunday tradition toride in early morning, eat atJames and Rachel Clark'splace and enjoy potentwhiskey while waiting for thearrival of mail and news.

INDIAN WARS & FLIGHT TO

FREEDOMBy 1855, the settlement hadits first doctor and druggist who saved apioneer's life from a gunshot wound by hos-tile Native Americans. Dr. Colvig operatedon the pioneer on the floor of his cabin nearthe South Umpqua River and used shirts for

bandages.The Cow Creeks had been drawn into the

Rogue Indian Wars and as a result wererounded up and forcefully marched 150miles to Grande Ronde reservation. Butseven families did not go and instead fled

into the deep-forested wilder-ness. The name Seven Feath-ers would later come to repre-

sent the seven courageous CowCreek families who fled to pre-serve their freedom and way oflife.

A TOWN IS BORN....INTOPROBATE

Shortly afterwards, JesseRoberts built the first gristmilland the Roberts Hotel wouldeventually become an overnightstop for the coming stage line.

Several blacksmith shops soon followed.The military road was completed in 1858.

That same year, Jesse Roberts was instru-

mental in the establishment of Canyonvilleand platted the town. Jessie died at the ageof 48. When the courts finished, the townwas put into an Administrator's sale. In1863 Samuel Marks and Hyman Wollen-berg purchased the town site at the sale.They continued to sell town lots and donat-ed land for the Methodist Church, whichstill stands today.

THE STAGE COACH BRINGS PROSPERITYThe years between 1860 and 1882 were

exciting times for the residents ofCanyonville. The stage came toCanyonville! Its location coming out of the

Giant Canyon made it a key stage stop andit was an economic boost for the town. Atelegraph office came to Canyonville,speeding up communication with othercities and towns. A school and society

organizations were created.In 1877 an excerpt From Towns and Vil-

lages on the Oregon and California StageCompany's Line and in Southern Oregon:

Pleasantly situated near the foot hills ofthe Cow Creek Mountains and at the headof the Great Canyon. The stage road windsaround the sides of the canyon for miles,passing points where mistakes in a foot in

the road would send stage, driver and pas-sengers to destruction thousands of feetbelow. The whole overland trip from hereto Redding is a succession of startlingscenes and surprising situations, surpassingeverything in loveliness, wildness andgrandeur. The village has a population nowof about two hundred. There are two flourmills, one Methodist church, two lodges,two hotels, and several businesses.

THE RAILROAD BRINGS RUINThe coming of the railroad, which

bypassed Canyonville, signaled the end ofthe stagecoach era and growth in

Canyonville slowed. Businesses had littletrade. Helen Sullivan Couglar phrased itthis way: With the railroad, Canyonville'sstreets grew up with weeds from side toside.

REDEMPTION & HEALINGIn 1901, the town was incorporated.

During the 20th century, the town saw twoWorld Wars and endured numerous ups anddowns. During the Cow Creek effort forfederal recognition, several descendants ofthe early pioneer families provided criticaltestimony in support of the tribes existenceand recognition. Eventually, US Court of

Claims settled with the Cow Creeks in anendowment, from which they draw, on anannual basis, only the earned interest.These earnings have always been ear-marked for economic development, educa-tion, and housing for its members.

TODAY - PARTNERSHIPToday, at the turn of the 21st century,

resurgence and revitalization is emergingboth economically and socially.Canyonville continues to attract new busi-nesses and visitors. A downtown revitaliza-tion committee has been formed. The townis poised to become a resort destination in

the foreseeable future.It is home to a large casino and hotel withwell-appointed accommodations, a largeluxurious RV Park and a Truck & TravelCenter. The Downtown Canyonville has anAntiques District with several restaurants,bars, and espresso establishments. Many ofthe old historic buildings are still standing.

150 years later, the partnership of theCow Creek Tribal Government and the citygovernment remains strong and committedeach to the other for the mutual benefit ofall in our community.

Life in this small town of the rugged

West has come full circle. Canyonville'sSesquicentennial is cause for reflection ofits Wild West past and celebration of hopeand opportunities for the future.

We are talking about a truly GiantPumpkin. A pumpkin that a small childcan climb into. A pumpkin that will

weigh over 100 pounds and up to 1500pounds. If you don't own a tractor orforklift you will find out who your "real"friends are when it is time to take yourpumpkin to the scale.

Growing this pumpkin will take dailyattention from late Spring into early Fall.What can be more exciting than watchinga vine grow so fast it seems it could growaround you if you stand too still? Thereare several steps, including good luck, tobe successful. The following steps are a

brief introduction. There are books andwebsites dedicated to all the tricks andpleasures of growing the Giant Pumpkin.

First comes the seeds from last year'sgiant pumpkin. The bigger the pumpkinthe seeds are harvested from the betteryour chances are. Genetics rule.

Second, start the seeds by late April ina Greenhouse or on the windowsill. It isrecommended to start at least two plantsto be transplanted in late May. Wait untilthe weather is truly warm. Remember the

good luck mentioned above.

Prepare a large area, at least 10' X 10',with lots of organic matter (also known asmanure) as the vine will send down rootsat every leaf node. Continue to Fertilize,Fertilize, Fertilize with lots of nitrogen atfirst followed by phosphorous and Water,Water, Water. As the plant sets fruit it isimportant to choose just one. But bepatient and choose one about 6 feet awayfrom the beginning. Continue removingany new "babies" as they appear so all the

energy will go to the Chosen One.

Be sure to brag to all your family andfriends and ...........Most important - HaveFun!

You can create a traditionalScarecrow with an old pillow case orburlap and then add yarn, buttons and fab-ric features. Hair can be an old mop orwig. But don't limit yourself, use yourimagination and remember that recyclingis good!

Body - The Challenge with the body isusually structural. Attaching the head tothe body and supporting the figure can bedifficult. Try building an armature withbroomsticks or wood to add support to the

structure. Stuffing can be pillows, straw,newspaper or leaves, but remember thatwhatever you use should withstand theelements. You can sew your pieces togeth-er with heavy upholstery thread, or usewire, duct tape, twine or even a stapler.Display - You must be able to stand your

scarecrow up or have a prop for display.One way to make a post stand is to use astake that is placed in a bucket of cement.Once cured you can affix your scarecrowto the stake.

PREPARATION

Place your pumpkin on several layers ofnewspaper before carving. Remove dirt

and debris by wiping the outside of thepumpkin with a rag moistened with water.

CUT LID

Draw and cut a six-sided lid, big enoughso you can reach in andclean out all the pumpkinguts. Use a saw or knifeangled toward the centerof the pumpkin to create aledge that supports thelid. Make sure the hole islarge enough to reach inand pull out the seeds and

stringy membrane. Thebottom of the pumpkin could also be cutoff instead; this will allow the pumpkin tosit up straight and make removing theseeds easier.

CLEAN AND SCRAPE

Using the flat-edged ice cream scoop ora special pumpkin scoop, clean out theseeds and strings. Where you plan tocarve, scrape the pumpkin wall until it'sabout one inch thick. If carving a challeng-ing pattern, scrape the pumpkin so that thewall is about one-half inch thick.

CREATE AND ATTACH PATTERN

If the pattern is too large or too small,you can use a copier to reduce or enlarge.Tape or pin your pattern onto your pump-kin. If you use pins, place them on the

design lines so you don't end up with holesyou don't want! The pattern may need tobe slightly folded to fit on a roundedpumpkin. Fold the pattern so that the pat-tern lines match up.

TRANSFER DESIGN

Using a pushpin or an awl,make pinpoint marks 1/16" to1/8" apart along the designlines. Check to see you havetransferred the design com-pletely, then take the patternoff the pumpkin.

SAW DESIGN

Using the carving saws saw dot-to-dotusing a gentle up and down motion. Sawgently, the saws can break if they areforced.

Learn Sawing Skills: To learnsawing skills, hold the pumpkinin your lap. Hold the saw like apencil and saw steadily with acontinuous up-and-down motion.Saw at a 90-degree angle to thepumpkin. Use gentle pressure.Saws are breakable if used incor-

rectly.Saw Dot to Dot: Saw dot-to-

dot, following your pattern. Workfrom the center of the design out-ward. Remove and reinsert thesaw to make corners.

Smallest Pieces First: Saw and removesmallest pieces first. Push the cut piecesout with your finger, not the saw blade.

Drill the Small Holes: Small holes (such

as pupils of the eyes and stars in a flag)should be drilled, not sawed.Long Thin Sections: With long thin sec-

tions, you can drill closely spaced holes ifyou have difficulty sawing or removing thesection.

LOCATE THE CHIMNEY

Locate and cut a chimney for the candle.If a flashlight or battery candle is used, achimney is not needed. Place the candle inthe bottom of the pumpkin. If candle doesnot stand on its own, place it on a small,non-flammable plate or bore a small hole

in the bottom of the pumpkin to hold thecandle.
