In three short years singer/songwriter LeRoy Bell has built a reputation and a national fan base that eagerly awaits the release of his first full length CD, “TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY”. A year in the making, “TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY” delivers poignant songs of peace, passion, politics, lament, love and deceit. His first solo release “Spending Time” (2003) gained critical acclaim for the unique “acoustic soul” sound. Selling over 12,000 units independently and gaining airplay on over 100 radio stations, it set the groundwork for the current release.

Throughout the year 2008, the quaint town of Canyonville has been celebrating its existence as a community for longer than Oregon has been a state-more than 150 years. The area is very rich in Native American and pioneer history. Canyonville's story is like a colorful western movie full of drama, victory, tragedy, and anguish. It needs no “artistic license” to make it interesting. The true story stands on its own merits without embellishments. The following is a compilation of info & excerpts from several local historical sources. NATIVE AMERICANS Prior to 1858, there were several bands of Native Americans living in and around the area. They had occupied the area for hundreds of years. The Umpqua watershed was known as their trade, hunting and gathering area. Deer and Elk were abundant as well as salmon and steel head. Berries, nuts, and other plant life provided food and medicine to the local Natives. The country was and still is dramatically beautiful, and to this day continues to attract new comers and tourists to the area. FUR TRAPPER RENDEZVOUS Trappers for Hudson Bay Company traveled thru the Canyon as early as 1828. Because of its geographic location, just north of the “Dread Canyon of the Umpqua”, the valley leading up to South

Umpqua River and the Cow Creek Valley to the west, it was a natural meeting place. It became a “Fur Traders Rendezvous.” FIRST CONTACT Isaac Boyle was the first white trader who went up the South Umpqua Valley to trade with the local Cow Creek Native Americans. Many of the fur traders were French or French Canadian. They and their descendants intermarried with the Cow Creeks. Hence, several prominent Cow Creek families have surnames such as Rondeau, Dumont, LaChance, and Pariseau. Chief Miwaleta presided over the different bands of Native Americans. Miwaleta was known for being friendly with nonIndians and later counseled his people against joining in the Indian Wars during the 1850s. At first, the relationship between the Cow Creek tribal families and the first settlers was truly one of sharing from the beginning. The tribe could offer hunting and trapping skills as well as medicinal how-to, while the pioneers brought with them the ability to cultivate the soil and introduce more crops. APPLEGATE PIONEERS & THE HAZARDS OF THE GIANT CANYON In 1846 Levi Scott and the Applegate brothers came through Canyonville on their search to find a southern route to Oregon. Their intent was to find an alternate route to avoid the dangers of the Columbia portion of the Oregon Trail. This route would eventually become known as the Applegate Trail. However, the Canyon was to become the most arduous and hazardous portion of the trip. It took weeks to bring wagons through the canyon. In some cases the pioneers had to ease the wagons down by ropes or take their wagons apart and move them downstream by hand. Pioneers had to descend to the creek bed to travel due to the steep rocky slopes projecting up from the creek edge. They were soaking wet sometimesicy cold for weeks. Sometimes, wagons and belongings were simply abandoned. One example of the tenacity and strength of these pioneers happened on November Continued on Page 3

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 supplies 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 members 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 concept 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 usually 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 hostile 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 wilderness. The name “Seven Feathers” would later come to represent the seven courageous Cow Creek families who fled to preserve 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 instrumental 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 Wollenberg purchased the town site at the sale. They continued to sell town lots and donated 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 Canyonville! Its location coming out of the

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

organizations were created. In 1877 an excerpt From Towns and Villages 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 passengers 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 earmarked for economic development, education, 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 businesses and visitors. A downtown revitalization 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. Compiled information and excerpts from “Pioneer Days in the South Umpqua Valley” by the South Umpqua Historical Society and the Cow Creek Tribal Government's web site. The museum is open Wed-Sun Afternoons 1-5pm.

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 BUILDING TIPS

Roseburg Oregon, Page 7

PUMPKIN CARVING 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 fabric 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 together 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.

PREPARATION Place your pumpkin on several layers of newspaper before carving. Remove dirt and debris by wiping the outside of the pumpkin with a rag moistened with water.

Smallest Pieces First: Saw and remove smallest pieces first. Push the cut pieces out 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 sections, you can drill closely spaced holes if you have difficulty sawing or removing the section. LOCATE THE CHIMNEY Locate and cut a chimney for the candle. If a flashlight or battery candle is used, a chimney is not needed. Place the candle in the bottom of the pumpkin. If candle does not 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 the candle.
