1881 the railroad from Granger. Wyo.,
was built to the junction with the
utah Northern at the mouth of the
canyon, three"fourths of mile south
OF the station at Port Neuf, and in
1852 the station and postofiice of Nc
Cannon were established at the present
Location. The place takes It's name from
Joseph McCammon, who was an attor.
ney III the Interior Department at
Washington and who made the treaty
with the Indians for crossing the rescr-
walton.
The leading man in the affairs Of Nc
Cannon from the inception OF the town
TO the present day has been II. O. Hark-
ness. He has been the dominating
force. not only at McCammon, but in
all that section of the country, for
more than thirty years. A native of
Huron county, Ohio, he came TO Mon
tana in 1866, to Beaver Canyon. Idaho,
IN 1868, and to Port Neuf station in
1870, In 1877 postofice was cstab-
lIshed at Port Neuf and Mr.. Harkness
appointed postmaster. In 1882 the To-
cation of the office as well as the name
was changed 10 McCammon. but Mr.
Harkness continued as postmaster and
he is still serving in that capacity nom
inally, although he has not for years at
tended TO the actual work of the of.
nee. FROM the tlme OF ms hrst APP
polntmcnt as postmaster in 1871 he
has served continuously except for one
short period when he was interested
IN stage line that had n mail-carryiDg
contract which disqualified him from
holding the Office, and during that time
his sisterin-law. Mrs. Barratt, was
postmaster, II is doubtful If there is
another postmaster in Idaho with a
record of so many years of service in
that capacity 10 his credit. Mr.. Hark
ness has also served very creditably
as county commissioner Of Bannock
county and in other public capacities
In the earlier days in the country
about McCammon the efforts of the set
tiers were almost wholly devoted TO
stock-raising. There was no attempt at
agriculture beyond few gardens, and
the belief was general that on account
Of the elevation-about 1900 feet-thc
climate was too cold and frosts too com
mon IN the growing season to raise
grain. II was Mr. Harkncss who proved
that belief to be unfomded, so far as

had obtained the concession from the
Government. The Fort Hall Indian res
ervation was not then in existence, not
being created until 1867. Murphy cs-
tablished the Port Neuf station. made
his home there. and there collected the
toll for travelling on his road through
the lower gateway The rate he estab-
Ished and maintained for six years was
S:5 for each team and wagon The rate
was a stiff one. and as it was rigidly
collected and there were no favortes,
Murphy soon grew rich. After the
freiGhfcrs had stood it few years,
their protests grew into an open and
threatening demand for reduction. But
Murphy was obdurate He would not
cut the price a penny and met all
tGrcats with grim and wcll-armcd dc.
6ancc. The Commissioners were ap-
pealed to in 1869, and they passed a
resolution reducing the toll to $3.50
The meeting of the Commissioners at
which this action was taken was held
in n ~hoolhouse and was attended by
Murphy, by Sheriff Morgan, and by
Prosecuting Attorney White, Murphy
expressed his disapproval of the pro-
ceedings in violent and abusive lam
which led to q shooting scrape between
himself ard Sheriff Morgan, in which
Murphy was killed and Morgan severe
ly wounded The toll thereafter was

Wells-Fargo company for several years
was sold to Gilmore & Salisbury, who

railroad. now part of the Short Line
system, was built along about 1876. Al
