Every trail tells a tale... T
he theme of the 59th Bohemia Mining Days celebration highlights the history of how our familiar geographical names east of town came to be. Many of the names are traced back to the second half of the 19th Century when early white settlers arrived in Western Oregon to receive free land from “Uncle Sam” in this fertile Eden-like paradise. Today’s road names reflect their proximity to nearby rivers and creeks and memorialize the names of early settlers of this area. Brice Creek: This stream originates in the Cascade foothills and flows into Row River. It was named for Frank Brass, an early prospector. He fell into the stream on a prospecting trip and a companion named the creek for him. Somewhere along the way the spelling changed to Brice. Until 1943, it was known as Frank Brice Creek. That year the U.S .Book of Geographical Names simplified it to Brice Creek. Culp Creek: The name has two noted origins. One story is its namesake was John Culp, who was born in Missouri in 1858. According to his obituary in the Cottage Grove Sentinel, Mr. Culp spent most of his early life in Cottage Grove working as a laborer, which could’ve been in the mines or the woods. He and his wife Minnie had six children. He died on June 26, 1926, at the age of 67 in Seattle, where his daughter lived. The local history book, Golden Was the Past, indicates the first settlers in the Wildwood area changed the name to Culp Creek after a clear, cold water spring nearby. Currin Covered Bridge: The bridge honors William Currin who was born in Virginia in 1818. He endured hardships along the Oregon Trail to arrive in Oregon in the fall of 1850. For the next three years he engaged in packing into the mines of Southern Oregon and Northern California. Please see TRAIL PG. 3

Pick a side and join the feud! A word of welcome to the 59th annual Bohemia mining Days
T
he Cottage Grove City Council, city staff, and local citizens of our great city welcome you to the Bohemia Mining Days celebration! This year is the 59th anniversary of the three-day festival that is fun for the whole family! The 2018 theme “Every Trail Tells a Tale” highlights the history of how some of our familiar roads, waterways and covered bridges got their names. I invite you to head up to the 54rd Annual Miners' Breakfast on the Mountain on Sunday from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pay close attention to the steep, narrow gravel roads and consider how challenging it was in the 1800’s for miners to get the supplies they needed and to get their gold into town. On Friday and Saturday, I urge you to participate in the 3rd Annual Historical Treasure Hunt on BMD’s Time Traveling Train. It’s a great way to learn more about our town’s colorful history by visiting our museums and unique landmarks while competing for cash prizes. If you need more local information, please visit the Chamber of Commerce’s Visitor Center in the Cottage Grove Community Center on Gibbs Avenue. Visitor information is also available at the Bohemia City information booth in Coiner Park. Jeff Gowing Mayor of Cottage Grove

So round up your friends and family and head on down to Bohemia City to enjoy all three days of our family-friendly celebration of our colorful past! Bob Ehler Bohemia City Marshal
About the Bohemia Nugget The Bohemia Nugget was originally a Friday weekly published in Cottage Grove from 1889 to 1907, when it was consolidated with the Cottage Grove Leader. After years of competing, The Leader was finally bought out by its nemesis, the Cottage Grove Sentinel, in 1918. We celebrate our colorful heritage by publishing this
annual commemorative section that highlights Cottage Grove’s history and serves as an information guide for the Bohemia Mining Days Festival. Stories and photos reflect the life and times of a bygone era as well as current events surrounding Bohemia Mining Days.
Bob Ehler
He obtained one of the federal donation land claims and spent the rest of his life in the Row River Valley. His obituary in the April 27, 1900 Bohemia Nugget states, “He retained the friendship and respect of those who knew him through a long life to the end.” Disston: An enterprising Disston Saw salesman (whose name has been lost in history) visited sawmill owner J.I. Jones and offered to give Mr. Jones two circular saws if he would name the new town, Disston. The mill operated only three years (19061909), however the name stuck. Today the unincorporated community is just a wide spot on Row River Road serving as the gateway to the picturesque Rujada Campground. Dorena Lake & Covered Bridge: In the 1850’s, the first settlers in the Row River Valley were farmers and ranchers. They agreed they would combine the first names of Dora Burnette and Lorena Martin to name their community. The school was built in 1896 and a post office was opened in 1899. In 1946, the town was abandoned then flooded in 1949 after the U.S. Corps of Engineers completed the Dorena Dam to control flooding in the Willamette Valley. About 100 homes were moved five miles upriver to the current unincorporated town. Layng Road connects Row River and Mosby Creek Roads with a covered bridge on each end. On the north end of the road is the red and white Currin Covered Bridge, named after an early pioneer family. It was closed to vehicular traffic in 1979. Layng Road honors George Layng, the first homesteader in the nearby community of Disston. He and neighbor Ben Pitcher often packed into the Bohemia area in search of gold. Mosby Creek & Covered Bridge: David Mosby was born in Kentucky in 1822 and traversed the Oregon Trail with his pack mule arriving here in 1852. He and his wife Isabel built a log cabin and raised their family along the creek that today bears their name. Built in 1920, it is the oldest wooden bridge in Lane County -- and one you can still drive through! Row River: The beautiful Row River begins as a trickle high in the Bohemia Mining District southeast of town and tumbles its way to the Willamette Valley floor. The tale of this familiar name is a bitter one. Originally called the East Fork of the Coast Fork of the Willamette River, the name was changed between 1866 and 1888, after a long-running dispute between two pioneer families over

Joseph Knott wins a claim in 1867 and completes the first wagon road (The Knott Trail) in 1874, where he sets up the first stamp mill. The Noonday Company of Chicago purchased the Annie Mine from Dr. Ogelsby and turned the Annie Trail into the Noonday Road, the first true road into the mining district. In 1899, Hardscrabble Road, up Sharps Creek, was constructed by Lane County and became the first public road into the district. In 1902, construction began on the Champion Creek Road leading to the Champion Mine. It was completed in 1926 by the U.S. Forest Service. And now you know the rest of the story! However, if you’re still craving more history on The Mosbys, Bohemia Sharp and the Row River Feud, don’t miss the Bohemia City Players’ twice daily performances on the Cultural Heritage Stage during the festival.

sheep and cattle grazing rights ended in murder. One version tells of two boys of one family meeting the elder man from the other family north of the original Dorena School, which now lies at the bottom of the lake. The older man was mortally wounded with one rifle shot and from that day on the river was called Row (to rhyme with cow). Sharps Creek: The creek and road honor Joseph H. “Bohemia” Sharp, a civil engineer who built the first road into the Bohemia Mining District for $1,500, which Lane County promised reimbursement but never paid. Oddly, there are two different obituaries for him. They conflict on his birthplace (Tennessee or Ohio). One says to avoid fighting in the Civil War, he headed for Oregon in 1862 and served as Eugene’s first postmaster and then as Cottage Grove’s postmaster. He left the postal service and purchased claims in the new Bohemia Mining District. He came from a wealthy family before the war. His uncle invented the Sharp’s rifle used in the war. The other obituary says he was a pioneer merchant, Welcome . . . . . . . . . preacher and physician and makes no mention Sponsors . . . . . . . . . of his civil engineering or postal service work.

Cottage Theatre Melodrama The residents of Fruitdale must summon up their best flapjack flippers to fight against the dastardly Dr. Jeklyanne Slyde, in Cottage Theatre's 2018 summer melodrama. There’s a Pirate in the Pantry . . . OR The Flapjacks Are About to Flip is a old-fashioned melodrama written especially for Cottage Theatre by local playwright Keith Kessler. The family-friendly production will run for three performances on July 20, 21, and 22 at Cottage Theatre, during Cottage Grove's annual Bohemia Mining Days Festival. This year's melodrama takes place in Fruitdale, where the mighty Redd Ferret, with her Captain Scarlet O’Haira, has sailed up the Row River just in time for the Annual Fruitdale Flapjack Festival. All of the town’s best flapjack flippers are getting ready to compete. But Dr. Jekylanne Slyde, the orneriest old coot in Fruitdale, has her eyes on the golden treasure aboard the Redd Ferret, and she aims to get it all for herself. There’s a Pirate in the Pantry...OR The Flapjacks Are About to Flip features 25 young actors from Cottage Theatre's summer melodrama camp. This show is appropriate for all ages and includes plenty
of audience participation (in the form of booing and hissing and cheering) as well as an old-fashioned sing-along. In keeping with classic melodrama tradition, "Olios" (silly jokes which have nothing to do with the story) will also be performed. There will also be a pre-show performance showcasing some of the music and dance techniques taught during the two-week summer camp. This year's melodrama is directed by Marian Dempsey, with music direction by Catricia Mayhue, and choreography by Madeleine Sisson. The cast includes Laurel Ames, Anya Bartlog, Lafe Bennett, Shyla Browning, Kira Carver, Alexis Christie, Hailey Cook, Bela Dedrick, Aiden Dickinson, Abigail Earlywine, AJ Earlywine, Madisyn Froom, Bryce Johnson, James Kelly, Hannah Mathis, Connor Mayhue, Eliana Piltz, Audrie Sager, Grace Sisson, Nate Steinburg, Lillie Stepp, Noe Valley, Hayes Valley, Maia Wilhour, and Piper Youngmayr. Performances are Friday, July 20 and Saturday, July 21 at 7:00 pm; and Sunday, July 22 at 2:30 pm. Tickets are $7 for all ages and all seating is reserved. Advance purchase is recommended.
Tickets are available online at www.cottagetheatre.org, by phone at 541-942-8001, or in person at the Cottage Theatre Box Office, 700 Village Drive, Cottage Grove. Box Office hours are Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and one hour before performances.

Calling all the good people of Cottage Grove! It's time to pick your side in the seventh annual Slabtown vs Lemati Feud during the 2018 Bohemia Mining Days Festival, July 19-21 Pick a side and join in the fun! We've got a wide assortment of contests for all ages. Slabtowners were victorious the first year by a narrow margin. Lematians came roaring back in 2013 and 2014 to claim the Feud Rock Trophy. Last year it was the Slabtowners by another narrow margin! If you're a newcomer, this very old feud between two factions from Cottage Grove's earliest days in the 1890s was rekindled in a fun new way in 2012. If you live on the west side of the Coast Fork of the Willamette River, you are a Slabtowner. If you live on the east side of the river, you are a Lematian. If you're playing from out of the area, we recommend you pick Slabtown because it has a much smaller geographic area and population.

Entertainment selections
Thursday
Bohemia City Players deville-Schulz said. In actuality, no script had been started. That didn’t deter Mandeville-Schulz. "How delighted I was when Jennifer walked in the door and said she'd like to accept the challenge,” Weeldreyer said. Armed with the festival’s theme, “Every trail has a tale,” Mandeville-Schulz got to work on what would become three separate vignettes detailing the history of some of the more notable people and places in Cottage Grove’s history. “Gold, Grit and Guns: Locals
who Left a Mark,” will begin with the story of Bohemia Sharp and how the name became associated with so many areas and organizations in Cottage Grove. It will then work its way through David Mosby’s historic ties to the city and finish its 35-minute runtime with the trial over sheep and cattle grazing that christened what’s known today as Row River. “It’s a 20-year feud between two families that were related through marriage,” Mandeville-Schulz said. It answers the question about why we pronounced it ‘row’ as in a fight instead of ‘row’
as in row a boat.” BMD will welcome back live theatre beginning on Thursday, July 19 at 6 p.m. “The play, you can go in, get your history lesson, get entertainment and still ride the amusement rides" The play is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 19 and two performances, one at 3 p.m. and one at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday in Bohemia City. There is no admission cost.

n a year of change, Bohemia Mining Days (BMD) is hoping to stir up nostalgia as it prepares to welcome back live theater to the city’s largest festival of the year. “In the past, Cottage Theatre has done live performances at Bohemia Mining Days to promote their summer production,” said BMD Coordinator Cindy Weeldreyer. “When they moved into their expanded facility they began the children's summer camps, which produced the BMD melodrama that coincided with our annual theme.”
However, scheduling ultimately scrapped the live performances from the festival’s line-up until this year. Weeldreyer put out a call to Opal Theatre and Cottage Grove Theatre for individuals interested in directing a play during BMD. Jennifer Mandeville-Schulz saw the opportunity pop up on a Facebook group. BMD had been hoping to find a director but when Mandeville-Schulz met with Weeldreyer, there was nothing to direct. “They said (the script) wasn’t quite written yet,” Man-

Cowboy Buck & Elizabeth
BMD welcomes back Buck and Elizabeth for their 18th year performing at the festival. Thursday through Sunday they will appear on both the Main Stage and the Heritage Stage with Buck serving as the Main Stage master of ceremonies. They are versatile performers from Castle Rock, Wash., who delight audiences of all ages. They put on a high energy show which includes interactive musical comedy with dance, sing-along and ventriloquism with Peter. Buck is a talented singer/songwriter and is a former member, manager and songwriter for the New Christy Minstrels. For a quarter of a century he has pursued his passion in "Education through Entertainment." From character voices to soulful blues Elizabeth is comfortable with Looney Tunes and Patsy Cline. Buck delights in bringing smiles to all around him and is never too busy to meet a new friend, sign an autograph, or teach you how to spin a rope. After performing for multi-generations at Bohemia Mining Days since 2001, they love spending time with their Cottage Grove fans. They perform year-round at fairs, festivals, schools and camps around the Northwest. Their music and their sparkling personalities are sure to charm audiences of all ages.
In 1939, Lane Electric began working in and protecting rural Lane County’s pristine and natural habitat... And, we’re still doing it today! “Whether wind, snow, rain, ice, heat or gloom of night, when your power goes out, so do we.” That was our promise then and it’s still our promise today!
Jay the Magician BMD welcomes back local magician Jay Frasier for his fifth appearance at the festival. This accomplished magician performs at schools, libraries, county fairs, and at personal and corporate events throughout the Pacific Northwest. He is best known for his engaging way of making magic funny, entertaining and interactive for all ages, through close-up magic or in stage shows. On Saturday, Jay performs on the Main Stage at 3:30 p.m. and will spend the day roaming around Bohemia City delighting and astonishing festival-goers with his close-up magic tricks.
