Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1909-07-17

Lansdale of Oregon as the first regular
agent for the three tribes. He estab-
lished an agency at the mouth of the
Jocko river on the present reserve, near
what is now the town of Dixon.
Mrs. Minnie Miller, wife of Henry c.
Miller, who went to Utah from New
York in 1855 and eloped with the belle
of the Mormon settlement in the spring
of 1856, was the second white woman
within the limits of what is now the
state of Montana, and the first to take
up actual residence. The one women
who preceded her was simply passing
through the country from Winnipeg, |
Manitoba, on the way to the Pacific
coast. In clipping Miller and his
bride made their way on horseback to
Fort Hall, a trading post, owned by
the Hudson Bay company, then in
what is now the state of Idaho. They
were received by Captain Richard
Grant, in charge of the post, and were
married.
The Millers awaited the return Of
DR.. Lansdale from Salt Lake and were
engaged to take charge Of the reserva-
ton during his absence in Oregon.
They remained at the agency until the
fall of 1857, when they moved to Walla
Walla. At that time the agency con-
sisted of only a few log cabins. Mrs.
Miller lived there from her arrival in
1856 until she departed in the fall Of
1857, without seeing another white
woman. Dr. Lansdale went to Port
land Ore, later, and in 1860 Major
John Owen was appointed his successor,
with headquarters at Fort Owen, in
the Bitter Root valley, near what is
now the town Of Stevensville. Other
agents followed until the appointment
Of Major Fred c. Morgan, now in
charge.
