Irrigation: Please inquire for a copy of 1958 irrigation rights documents. These rights do not show on interactive map. Note from Water Master: “The only thing I can say with certainty is that authorized well location is on TL 800, 28174 Ferguson Rd Junction City. The claim says 15 acres can be irrigated, 6 in SENW and 9 in NESW but I don’t know where exactly. I’ve asked our Salem staff to scan in the entire file to see if there is a better map. In the event that one can’t be found, I’d say irrigate as it has been done historically without exceeding what’s authorized by quarter-quarter. From the aerial photo it looks like all the fields are being farmed; however, there are not enough water rights to irrigate everything. The best option for a buyer to get more water is a transfer. The proximity to Flat Creek could pose issue to getting a new groundwater right.” Lanaya Blakely, Watermaser, District 2 541-682-3682/541-913-1154 Farm Equipment: No farm equipment to be left with the sale other than old irrigation pipe.

There is currently no pump in this well and we do have a well log on file. Septic: The tank is located on the south side of the home and drain field may head west. We will have septic report available for review. Story of the farm: In Ruth Bleier's own words On April 6,1923 we left the farm on the Willamette River near Albany for the Harmony community in Junction City. Since I wasn't quite one year old, I don't remember the trip but my brother (Elbert) who is 12 years older than I remember it well. He said he and my dad (Cleveland) left with the two loaded wagons and two cows tied behind each wagon. One cow put her foot in the wheel before getting to the main road, so she walked the entire 30 miles lame. My mother (Silva) followed in a model "T Ford towing a loaded buggy with three girls (myself and two sister's Salome and Dorothea). My sister Salome and Elbert took turns walking and driving the wagon. During the trip, we were going up the steep slope of the bridge across the Willamette River at Corvallis and the car stalled rolling backward and breaking the shaft of the buggy we were pulling. Once we got help and made the repairs, we moved on what would normally be a one-day trip. Our barn had burned down, and the neighbor Fred Thompson would rebuild the existing barn on the farm in Junction City. When I was five years old our house caught fire. I remember laying in the yard in the early morning hours with blankets while friends and family put the fire out. In the summer of 1928, my dad, brother and neighbor Fred Thompson would rebuild the existing farmhouse on Ferguson Road. We moved in an empty house across the road while the farmhouse was being re-built. Eventually, after rebuilding our farmhouse, we had our first bathtub and running water pumped by a gasoline motor. Before that, water for washing, baths and food was heated on a woodstove. Kerosene lamps were our light, and the bathroom was an outhouse outside. My dad had a large garden including a plot in the back of the farm where he grew lots of watermelons. The soil was rich and dark and provided a great place to grow watermelons. In 1945 my dad decided to give up farming at Junction City, so we (Ruth and husband Vern) bought the farm where I grew up. We moved the 10th of February. In 1955, Vern went to work in the woods falling timber just off Cook Road near Poodle Creek. In March of 1956, Vern was injured in a logging accident and our lives changed dramatically.
