Cook in the Mckee valley, where it
remained until the summer of 1870.
In the latter year the people voted as
20 the location of the county seat.
OF the four candidates for that hon
or, Yakima City received SO votes.
Flint's store 20, Selah IS and a point
named in Kittitas valley 8. Shortly
after this verdict from the people
the county seat was removed TO Yaki-
ma City, where it remained for six
teen years.
The first court house in Yakima
City was small frame building,
which was destroyed by fire March
81, 1882, on which occasion nearly all
1882, on which occasion nearly all
of the county records were lost.
On April of that year the board
of county commissioners, consisting
of David Longmire, ]. P. Sharp and
Andrew Mcdaniel, issued an order
for the construction of a new court
house, which was completed that
summer. This building was removed
to its present site in North Yakima
in the spring of 1887, after the peo-
pie had voted affirmatively on the
proposal to move the county seat to
New Yakima, as it was then called,
at the election of 1856. This court
house, the remains of which still af-
ford a shelter for a portion of our
county officials, after being partially
destroyed by fire May 5. 1906, at the
hour OF noon, at which time. fortu-
nately, all public records were saved.
In such brief sketch as this 1t is
possible only to refer to leading
events in Yakima county's history.
such as the murder of the Perkins
family by Indians in 1878, and the
subsequent capture, trial and execu-
ton of the murderers; the secession
of Kittitas county in 1888; the COM
ing Of the Northern Pacific railroad
in 1888, and the contention caused
by its establishment of North Yaki-
ma, since grown into splendid
city; the inauguration of irrigation
development on large scale; the
campaigns made for the state capital
in 1889 and 1890; the long war over
county division, resulting in the
formation of Benton county in 1905,
and Il inauguration of a system of
feders' irrigation in 1906. all of
which are highly important.
Neither is it possible to do justice
to the splendid pioneers of the
county, for no history would be COM
plete that did not portray the hard
ships and sufferings of these splendid
men and women who came to carve
out homes in sagebrush wilderness,
and who exposed themselves to con-
slant danger of attack and annihi-
lation by the savage Indians that
roamed over the plains.
