| Notes | One method for clearing downed logs on the lower Siletz River was to let high waters wash the logs into the bay. This article describes how the 1921 flood on the Siletz "removed all the logs and brush from ... meadows" of four local farmers. ":It is said there is no place on the Pacific coast where such heavy clearing can be done as cheaply as on the lower Siletz." |
