Whereupon the report of Thomas F. Beall,
M. Hanley and James M.

Road by the lower Bridge on little Butte Creek, came on to be heard,
which is in words and figures following, to wit:
To the Hon. County Court of the State of
Oregon for Jackson
County, Sitting on County business, June Term, 1871--
The undersigned
viewers appointed by your Hon. Court to review and
locate a County Road in said County, commencing at the 15 mile post on
the County Road leading from Jacksonville to Big Butte Creek by the
lower bridge on little Butte Creek, and running from said beginning
point on the most practical route for a road, to a point on Little
Butte Creek opposite the residence of Peter Simon, there to cross the
said Butte Creek and intersect the County Road on the North side of
said Butte Creek.
Beg leave to report that we met the
surveyor Milton Lindley at the
Clerk's Office of said County on the 22nd day of May, 1871, and
after being duly qualified, we proceeded to view the ground over which
the proposed road is to be located, and we did locate the same as
prayed for by Peter Simon and others, which road we particularly marked
and is fully set forth in the report, plat and survey of Milton Lindley
herewith returned and made part of this report.
There is no material difference in the ground over which the old Road
and the proposed road runs, the distance is 18 or 20 Rods nearer by the
new than by the old road. We measured the distance across Little Butte
Creek at the Old Bridge, and also where the line of the new survey
crosses said Butte Creek, and found the distances to be as follows: At
the Old Bridge, the distance is 240 feet and 80 feet the main Span.
And at the crossing on the new survey to be 119 feet and fifty feet the
main span.
We therefore recommend that the change
in said road
be made as prayed for in the Petition of Peter Simon and others for the
following reasons--In our opinion as good a Bridge can be built
at the upper as at the lower Crossing, for at least $800.00 less money,
and would recommend that the said road as viewed by us be legally
established and made a County Road.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
Thomas
F. Beall
M. Hanley
James M. McDonough
Viewers

31st 1871

appearing to the satisfaction of the Board that the said Road is
of Public utility, and the report recommending the establishment of the
same having been publicly read on two different days of the June term
1871 of this Court, and there being no remonstrance to the same, and no
petition for a review or for damages filed except those of Wm. B.
Dailey and J. J. Fryer, heretofore ordered to be paid, and the
Surveyor's report, plat and field notes accompanying the said
report of the viewers--It is considered by the Court that said
report be and is in all things confirmed--And it is further
ordered that the said reports, together with the report of the
surveyor, also the Plat and survey of said Road be recorded, and from
thenceforth said Road be declared a Public Highway, and the Supervisor

in the new, be vacated.)

T.
H. B. Shipley
Co. Judge
Tuesday, July 11th 1871
The Court
met this morning pursuant to adjournment, present the same as
on yesterday. Minutes of yesterday's proceedings were read and
approved.
Now at this day the report of the
majority of the viewers heretofore
appointed to view and locate a County Road in said County, commencing
at a point on the Stage Road leading from Jacksonville to Yreka near
the residence of Granville Naylor and running thence by the residences
of D. Redpath, J. Ritter and others and terminating at the Stage road
above mentioned near the residence of Ira Chandler came on to be heard
which report is in words and figures following, to wit:
To the Honorable County Court for
Jackson County, State of Oregon, at
the July term 1871, we the undersigned viewers appointed to view a road
from near Granville Naylor's to a point on the Stage road near
Ira Chandler's have the honor to report that we did meet the
surveyor upon June 20th, the same being within the time limited in our
appointment, and after being duly qualified, proceeded to take into
consideration the duties of our appointment after which we adjourned to
June 22nd when we
proceeded to fulfill the duties assigned us by viewing the above named
road as per instructions, and continuing the same until finished. We
followed the old road most all the way; we found good ground for a
road, and a good road already in existence with the appearance of
having at present a large amount of travel; and we believe said road
necessary for the convenience of the people residing upon its line. We
therefore recommend its being made a legal County Road.
All of which we respectfully submit
John
A. Grieve
Jacob Roudebush
Viewers
Jacksonville, June 25th 1871
And the said report having been publicly
read upon two different days
the present term of this Court, to wit: the first time on yesterday,
and the second time this day, and there being no remonstrance to the
same and no petition for damages, or for a review filed--and the
Court being satisfied that said Public road will be of great utility,
and the Surveyor's report, plat and field notes accompanying said
report of the viewers--It is considered by the Court that said
report be and is in all things hereby confirmed, and it is further
ordered that said report, together with the report of the surveyor,
also the plat and survey of said road be recorded and that from
thenceforth the said road be recorded and that from thenceforth the
said road shall be considered a public highway, and the Supervisors
through whose districts the said road passes are hereby ordered to open
the said road and to keep the same in good repair for travel thereon.

1869 and paid into the Treasury
of the County the sum
of $144.81
And the Sheriff has Assessed and
collected since his report in April the sum of $125.75

tax may yet be collected--

and report.
Whereas it has been frequently

hereby ordered by the board that the said Supervisor procure the
necessary help and proceed immediately to repair the Bridge aforesaid,
and report bill of said labor to the County Court, and that the Clerk

Sheriff, all except $24.00 which makes the amount allowed to Sheriff
$77.65, and the consideration of remainder of the fees on
said transcript deferred until a subsequent meeting of the Board.
And now comes E. B. Watson and files his
affidavit setting forth that
the Chinese witnesses examined on behalf of Loy Shing, the Defendant in
an examination for murder before J. R. Wade, J.P., is entitled to fees
as attendance and mileage on said Court, the consideration of which was
deferred until a subsequent meeting of the Board.
It was ordered by the Board that
hereafter all
sessions of this Board be held in the Court House of this County.

running thence in a Northerly direction crossing Rogue River to
intersect the County Road on the North Side of said River, distance of
said proposed road not to exceed two miles and deferred at the October

five days thereafter, and after being duly qualified according to law,
they proceed to view and lay out said road as prayed for in the

To the Hon. County Court of Jackson

The Court after fully considering the
question as to the public utility
of said proposed road, arrived at the conclusion that the establishment
of said road over and across Rogue River at or near the mouth of Evans

The Court
met this morning pursuant to adjournment, present a full
Board, the minutes of yesterday's proceedings were read, approved
and signed by the Judge.
When the following proceedings were had,
to wit:
The Report of the viewers appointed at
the July term of this Court to
examine and report on the Bridge across Rogue River at Rock Point was
taken up, read, adopted and ordered by the Board that the same be
spread upon the Journal, which said Report is in words and figures
following, to wit:
To the Hon. Board of Commissioners of
Jackson County,
We, the
undersigned Commissioners appointed by your Hon. Board at its July
session last past, for the purpose of making a personal examination of
the Bridge across Rogue River at Rock Point, and to give our opinion as
to the Safety of the said Bridge for the public travel over the same,
respectfully report as follows:
That on Wednesday, the 26th day of July,
having been first duly sworn
to faithfully perform the duties of our said appointment, we proceeded
to the said Bridge and after a careful examination of the same, we find
the Condition (of) said Bridge, as follows:
The first Bent of the Bridge, next to
the
River on the South side thereof, is unsound and we consider unsafe; we
recommend that this Bent be replaced with a new Bent--or a false
bent be placed on the side of the unsound one immediately.
The second and third bents from the
River on the South side: we find the
Cap on each bent to be unsound and new caps should be substituted for
the unsound ones.
The fourth bent from the River and on
the same side as the above, is new and in good condition.
On the North side of the River, the
lower or west
post of the first bent of the Bridge next to the River is decayed.
The next Bent from the River on the
North side thereof is in a moderately good state of preservation.
The Third Bent from the River on the
North side, we found the cap to be decayed.
The fourth Bent from the River on the
same side as the above is in good condition.
We also found that a portion of the
Stringers were decayed, and should be replaced with new ones.
We also found that the Railing of the
Bridge was in a bad condition and should be made more safe.
With these details, we are brought to
the conclusion that the Bridge,
in the condition we found it, is unsafe for public travel over it, but
that with the necessary repairs indicated in this report, we are of the
opinion that it would be safe for the Public travel for some time to
come, but for how long a time we cannot determine.

Which

and that the proposed new Road has been opened a legal width, and in
all
respects made equal to the old Road for the convenience of travelers,
And that
the Petitioner has paid all expenses of the view, survey and relocation
of said
Road, as appears from vouchers filed with said Petition and Report. It is therefore ordered by the Court
that
said new road be declared a public highway, and it is further ordered
that the

recorded. And it is further
ordered that so much of the

We
find by the proposed alteration that it has decreased the distance
of said road fifty links, and the ground is much better adapted for a
good road
at all seasons of the year. After taking into consideration the utility, convenience and
inconvenience and expense
which will result to individuals as well as the public if such road is
established,
it is our opinion that the said alteration prayed for by petitioner is
reasonable, that the proposed road has been opened a legal width and in
all

The
Petition of Christian Kretzer & others, for the location of a
County Road commencing at the west line of the Corporation of the town
of
Jacksonville to Farmer's Flat on Jackson Creek, now comes on to be
heard, which
said Petition is in words and figures following, to wit:
To the
Hon. County Court of the State of Oregon, for Jackson
County (Sitting for County business)--
The
undersigned Householders of said County and residing in the
vicinity of the hereinafter mentioned road respectfully Petition your
Honorable body to locate a County Road Commencing at a point on the
west line
of the Corporation of the town of Jacksonville some 3 or 4 rods North
of the
Present traveled road leading up Jackson Creek, Thence following up
said creek
parallel with Hoffman & Lewis' Irrigating Ditch until it
intersects the
present traveled road at the crossing of said Ditch, thence following
the
present traveled Road as near as may be for a good Wagon Road to and
opposite
the Blacksmith Shop of John Donegan, thence South-Westerly across
Jackson Creek
and following up the west bank and near to the left hand fork of
Jackson Creek
on the best route for a Road to the Lime Kiln near the mouth of
Missouri Gulch,
thence as nearly as possible following the present traveled road to the
west
side of Sailor Gulch, thence bearing Northerly so as to obtain a good
crossing
on Posey Gulch, thence on the best route for a good road to a point on
Farmer's
Flat near the residence of James Kendrick where said road will
terminate.
The above entry is incorrect, having been entered before.
See
forward.
Now at
this day came on to be heard the report of the viewers appointed
at the last term of this court to view and locate a County Road from
West line
of Corporation of town of Jacksonville to Farmer's Flat, which report
is in
words and figures following, to wit:
To the Honorable County Court of Jackson County, Ogn.
The
undersigned viewers appointed by your Hon. body at the May
term of your court, to view a road up Jackson Creek from West line of
Corporation of Jacksonville to Farmer's Flat on the left hand fork of
Jackson
Creek, beg leave to submit the following report.
After
being duly qualified according to law, we assembled in company
with B. F. Myer, the Surveyor, at the place designated in the Petition
and
proceeded to view and locate said road as prayed for in said petition
to a
point opposite the residence of James Kendrick on Farmer's flat--We
find upon
examination of the route that in places it is rough and brushy and
there is
perhaps not labor enough left in the two districts to finish it this
year, but
in our opinion it can be made a good permanent road, free from danger
from the
washing of the Creek and a much easier grade than the present traveled
road and
besides this it runs through an excellent Stone quarry and limestone
quarry and
will make them both of easy access.
In
consideration of the foregoing reasons we would recommend the
adoption of the road by Your Hon. body. For further particulars we
would
refer you to the report of the Surveyor.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
R.
S. Dunlap
Jacob
Roudebush
Viewers

or for
a review, And the Court being satisfied that said public Road will be
of great
utility, and the Surveyor's Report, plat and field notes accompany the

field notes

passes are
hereby ordered to open the same and keep it in good repair for travel
thereon.

Now at
this day comes on to be heard and determined the report of the
viewers appointed at the June term 1872 of this Court to view and
locate a
County Road Commencing at the 20 mile Stake on Thompson Creek and
running
thence to Steamboat City--which said report passed its second reading
publicly--and is in words and figures following--
To the
Honorable County Court, Jackson County, Oregon, July Term, A.D.
1872
We, a
majority of the viewers appointed to view a Road from the 20 mile Stake
on Thompson's Creek to Steamboat City,
report that we met and were qualified on the 20th
of
June and proceeded on the 21st and 22nd
to view and
survey according to the Petition, except in one place we made a change
so as
not to damage individual property, and also as we believe to shorten
the road
and put it on as good ground as the points named in the Petition--The
most of
the route is now open so as to be passable with wagons, and a good
portion of
the road is graded and is all on favorable ground and is necessary for
the
Public travel and for the convenience of Settlers in the vicinity of
the route;
therefore we recommend its adoption as shown by the report and plat of
the
surveyor.

McKee

the report having been publicly read upon two different days of the

for
damages or for a review filed, and the Court being satisfied that said
Road
will be of great Public utility, and the Surveyor's Report, plat and
field
notes accompany the said report of the viewers.
It is
considered by the Court that said Report be and the same is in
all things hereby confirmed.
And it
is further ordered that said report, together with the report of
the Surveyor, also the Plat and field notes of said Survey, be recorded
and
that from thenceforth said Road be declared a Public Highway and the
Supervisor
through whose district the said road passes To be ordered to open said
road and
keep the same in good repair for travel thereon.
Whereas
J. P. True has heretofore filed a Petition praying for a change
in the County Road where the same runs through his lands, and viewers
were
appointed to review and relocate the same and submitted their report,
and no
evidence accompanying the said report that said new road has been
opened and
made in all respects as good as the old road for travel thereon,
It is
therefore ordered by the Court that the establishment of said
change of Road be continued until the next term of this Court to enable
the
said J. P. True to file the necessary documentary evidence that said
road is
legally opened.
It is
ordered by the Court that the consideration of the establishment
of a County Road running from Joseph Swingle's to Peter Simon's be

Hon.
E. B. Watson, County Judge
M.
H. Drake, Commissioner
P.
Dunn, Clerk
When
the following proceedings were had, to wit:
To the
Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Jackson County,
Oregon, November Term A.D. 1872.
We the
undersigned viewers appointed by your Honorable body at the
October Term to review and relocate a road on Rogue River below old
Fort Lane,
beg leave to Submit the following report. After being duly qualified
according
to law, we proceeded to the place designated in the petition and viewed
and
located the road on the South Side of the river to a place opposite the
lower
end of the Drury field where we found a most excellent place (in our
judgment)
for a Ferry, the water being Still and deep and the banks good; we then
went in
an almost Straight line to the three mile Stake named in the petition
where we
Stopped. The road on the
north side of
the river runs on good ground and can be made with very little labor
but on the
South Side we found it very rough, but nobody is likely to claim any
damages
and the people are willing to make it without asking any assistance
from the
County. We would recommend
that the road
be established as located by us.
At the
request of some of the petitioners, we reviewed and located
another portion of the above named road beginning near the House of Mr.
Deskins and running direct from there to old Fort Lane. This route
is equally as good as the other running from near Mansfield's place, is
some
Shorter and in our Judgment will accommodate more people, And the
aforesaid
petitioners told us they had intended to ask for this change, but by
some
oversight it was left out when they drew up the petition. We would
therefore
recommend the adoption of this part of the road also by your honorable
body.
For distances and other particulars we refer you to the Surveyor's
report. All
of which is respectfully Submitted,
R.
S. Dunlap
H.
F. Phillips
Jacob
Roudebush
Viewers
And
the Report having been publicly read on two different days of the
present term of this Court, the first time yesterday and the Second
time this
day and there being no remonstrance to the same and no petition for
damages or
for a review filed and the Court being Satisfied that Said road will be
of
great public utility and the Surveyors report, plat and field notes
accompany
the said report of the viewers being forwarded to said Court.
It is
ordered by the Court that the said Report be and the Same is in
all things hereby confirmed.
So far
as it conforms to the original petition for said road, but the
report aforesaid and the plat and field notes of Survey so far as they
refer to
the change of road not asked for in said petition are hereby expressly
rejected
and held for naught.
And it
is further ordered that the Said report together with the report
of the Surveyor also the plat and field notes of said Survey be
recorded and
that from thenceforth said road from where it leaves the County road
running
from near Mansfield's place into Sams Valley at the point described in
said
field notes and plat as a "Station Set on a rocky point near Rogue
River" and
about 200 yards South of where said road intersects Rogue River be
declared a Public Highway, and the Supervisor through whose district
the said
road passes is hereby ordered to open Said road.
$10.00. It is
ordered by the
Court that the bill of Madam Guilfoyle for board and Lodging of
Frenchman
Loraine from Octr. 7th 1872 to Nov. 5th
1872 be
disallowed, Excepting for 10 days be allowed Amounting to $10.00.
