 Thursday, October 16, 2008–The News-Review, Canyonville Pumpkin and Music Celebration
25, 1853. The wagon of Mr. &
Mrs. Hans Weaver broke down in
the Big Canyon. They had no
alternative but to walk with their
oxen and the few supplies they
could carry with them into
Canyonville. Mrs. Weaver
walked the entire distance carrying a small
child in one arm and leading a second child
by hand. That night Mrs. Weaver gave birth
to a third child, Elizabeth. Since she had no
clothes for the child, a soldier gave her his
coat to wrap the newborn baby.
By the time settlers came through the
Canyon on the Applegate Trail, they were
exhausted from the daunting task. So
Canyonville was a natural stopover. Some
pioneers stayed and some moved on.
FIRST SETTLERS
In the spring of 1851, several pioneers
named Roberts, Weaver, and Knott settled
in the valley. Then in the fall a new wagon
train headed up by Captain C.J. Hill
brought additional families such as Briggs,
Gazely, Fullerton, Beckworth, and several
others for settling the area. Land claims
were filed shortly afterward under the
Donation Land Claims Act of 1850. Joseph
and Elizabeth Knott opened a trading post
in a log house. Knott's inventory of sup-
plies included tobacco, overalls, and
whiskey. Today, the building is the location
of B&C Antiques.
GOLD DISCOVERY & DEATH
In 1852, gold was discovered on Jackson
Creek. The area flooded with miners from
California who filed claims on rivers and
streams. All this growth came at huge
price for the Cow Creeks costing them their
very survival. This set the stage for
increasing tensions between the Native
Americans and the newcomers. Epidemics
swept through their villages, killing mem-
bers of the Tribe, including their beloved
chief, Miwaleta.

BETRAYAL
During this difficult time, the Cow
Creeks seeking a peaceful solution, entered
a treaty with the federal government that
resulted in ceding their homeland 2.3 cents
an acre. Land ownership was a foreign con-
cept and Native Americans did not fully
understand it. The US Government sold the
same land for $1.25 to pioneers. To further
compound the travesty, the US Government
ignored the treaty and did not pay the Cow
Creeks what was agreed to in the treaty.
BOOZE, MAIL CALL, & GOSSIP
A post office was established in 1852. At
that time there was a North Canyonville
and a South Canyonville. South did not
have a post office. Eventually the two ends
of town merged into one.
Mail was delivered on Sunday
afternoon and there was usu-
ally a large crowd waiting. In
addition to mail, the carriers
brought news of political
events, disasters, and gossip.
It was a Sunday tradition to
ride in early morning, eat at
James and Rachel Clark's
place and enjoy potent
whiskey while waiting for the
arrival of mail and news.
INDIAN WARS & FLIGHT TO
FREEDOM
By 1855, the settlement had
its first doctor and druggist who saved a
pioneer's life from a gunshot wound by hos-
tile Native Americans. Dr. Colvig operated
on the pioneer on the floor of his cabin near
the South Umpqua River and used shirts for

bandages.
The Cow Creeks had been drawn into the
Rogue Indian Wars and as a result were
rounded up and forcefully marched 150
miles to Grande Ronde reservation. But
seven 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 Cow
Creek families who fled to pre-
serve their freedom and way of
life.
A TOWN IS BORN....INTO
PROBATE
Shortly afterwards, Jesse
Roberts built the first gristmill
and the Roberts Hotel would
eventually become an overnight
stop 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 Canyonville
and platted the town. Jessie died at the age
of 48. When the courts finished, the town
was put into an Administrator's sale. In
1863 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, which
still stands today.
THE STAGE COACH BRINGS PROSPERITY
The years between 1860 and 1882 were
exciting times for the residents of
Canyonville. The stage came to

organizations were created.
In 1877 an excerpt From Towns and Vil-
lages on the Oregon and California Stage
Company's Line and in Southern Oregon:
“Pleasantly situated near the foot hills of
the Cow Creek Mountains and at the head
of the Great Canyon. The stage road winds
around 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 feet
below. The whole overland trip from here
to Redding is a succession of startling
scenes and surprising situations, surpassing
everything in loveliness, wildness and
grandeur. The village has a population now
of about two hundred. There are two flour
mills, one Methodist church, two lodges,
two hotels, and several businesses.”
THE RAILROAD BRINGS RUIN
The coming of the railroad, which
bypassed Canyonville, signaled the end of
the stagecoach era and growth in
Canyonville slowed. Businesses had little
trade. Helen Sullivan Couglar phrased it
this way: “With the railroad, Canyonville's
streets grew up with weeds from side to
side.
REDEMPTION & HEALING
In 1901, the town was incorporated.
During the 20th century, the town saw two
World Wars and endured numerous ups and
downs. During the Cow Creek effort for
federal recognition, several descendants of
the early pioneer families provided critical
testimony in support of the tribes existence
and recognition. Eventually, US Court of
Claims settled with the Cow Creeks in an
endowment, from which they draw, on an
annual basis, only the earned interest.
These earnings have always been ear-
marked for economic development, educa-
tion, and housing for its members.
TODAY - PARTNERSHIP
Today, at the turn of the 21st century,
resurgence and revitalization is emerging
both economically and socially.
Canyonville continues to attract new busi-
nesses and visitors. A downtown revitaliza-
tion committee has been formed. The town
is poised to become a resort destination in
the foreseeable future.
It is home to a large casino and hotel with
well-appointed accommodations, a large
luxurious RV Park and a Truck & Travel
Center. The Downtown Canyonville has an
Antiques District with several restaurants,
bars, and espresso establishments. Many of
the old historic buildings are still standing.
150 years later, the partnership of the
Cow Creek Tribal Government and the city
government remains strong and committed
each to the other for the mutual benefit of
all in our community.
Life in this small town of the rugged
West has come full circle. Canyonville's
Sesquicentennial is cause for reflection of
its Wild West past and celebration of hope
and opportunities for the future.

Wildlife Safari in Winston is the closest
thing you will find to an African Safari.
We specialize in bringing people closer to
amazing animals by means of our unique
drive-through experience. Hop in your car
and from the safety of your vehicle you
will begin an expedition through our 600
acre game park. You will see hundreds of
animals from Africa, Asia, and the Ameri-
cas, all living in natural habitats. Get a
close up look at our lions, cheetahs, ele-
phants, rhinos, and a host of other exotic
beasts. Don’t be surprised if some of
these curious animals stroll right up to the
car and take a peek inside! For a more
personal session with our animals, sched-
ule a close encounter of the wild kind –
feed a giraffe, bathe an elephant, feed the
lions or bears, or prepare special treats for
our cheetahs and tigers.
Next, walk into our Village area free of
charge to visit a menagerie of other
unusual animals: tiny primates, maned
wolves, flamingos, an Indian crested por-
cupine, and many other species are wait-
ing to greet you. Watch for the Village

GROWING A GIANT PUMPKIN
By JOANNE GORDON,
COMMONWEALTH GARDEN SHOPPE WIN $500 Grand Prize!!
We are talking about a truly Giant
Pumpkin. A pumpkin that a small child
can climb into. A pumpkin that will
weigh over 100 pounds and up to 1500
pounds. If you don't own a tractor or
forklift you will find out who your "real"
friends are when it is time to take your
pumpkin to the scale.
Growing this pumpkin will take daily
attention from late Spring into early Fall.
What can be more exciting than watching
a vine grow so fast it seems it could grow
around you if you stand too still? There
are several steps, including good luck, to
be successful. The following steps are a
brief introduction. There are books and
websites dedicated to all the tricks and
pleasures of growing the Giant Pumpkin.
First comes the seeds from last year's
giant pumpkin. The bigger the pumpkin
the seeds are harvested from the better
your chances are. Genetics rule.
Second, start the seeds by late April in
a Greenhouse or on the windowsill. It is
recommended to start at least two plants
to be transplanted in late May. Wait until
the 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 as
manure) as the vine will send down roots
at every leaf node. Continue to Fertilize,
Fertilize, Fertilize with lots of nitrogen at
first followed by phosphorous and Water,
Water, Water. As the plant sets fruit it is
important to choose just one. But be
patient and choose one about 6 feet away
from the beginning. Continue removing
any new "babies" as they appear so all the
energy will go to the Chosen One.
Be sure to brag to all your family and
friends and ...........Most important - Have
Fun!

SCARECROW PUMPKIN CARVING TIPS

BUILDING TIPS
By PAM LANDELL
BEAD MECCA SPONSOR OF SCARECROW
CONTEST

Head - This is the focal point of your

Scarecrow, so spend some time planning
it's personality. You can create a traditional
Scarecrow with an old pillow case or
burlap and then add yarn, buttons and fab-
ric features. Hair can be an old mop or
wig. But don't limit yourself, use your
imagination and remember that recycling
is good!
WIN $100
1ST PLACE PRIZE!!
Body - The Challenge with the body is
usually structural. Attaching the head to
the body and supporting the figure can be
difficult. Try building an armature with
broomsticks or wood to add support to the
structure. Stuffing can be pillows, straw,
newspaper or leaves, but remember that
whatever you use should withstand the
elements. You can sew your pieces togeth-
er with heavy upholstery thread, or use
wire, 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 a
stake that is placed in a bucket of cement.
Once cured you can affix your scarecrow
to the stake.
