There are about 100 OF
these Waists remaining unsold.

The Idaho Republican., 1914-01-09

The wealth of Custer county,

that section in the earl7 sixties
when gold flowed from the plac-
ers of Loon Creek, and this was
followed by discoveries OF vari-
Gus minerals in many parts Of the
corhty and still brings 4 stream

Challis has been the county
seat for a long time, an, for
many years when there was no
n.i;ce for the superintendent of
schools, the little cabin shown in

knew him, regardless or sect or
party.
The governors office was located
for many years and until the compile
tion of the present capitol building,
on site on Main street now occu-
pid by the Bell Telephone company,
and was universally known as the
"Stone Jug" Governor Curtis owned
the building until his death and it
was the scene Of many of the most
important events in Idaho's earlier
history.
Not having filled the position of
governor through appointment, the
act Of the last legislature proviling
for portraits of all the governors of
Idaho, does not apply to him., and
the commission in charge canot do
as they would like to do. have our

others. / hope, however, that old

tor of the Republican IN 1903,
the school business was being ia
ken care of with a master hand
by Miss Keenan, who taught the
school at Bay Horse and came
down the canyon every Friday
night to Challis to keep the Office
open Saturday. She drew sal
ary from two sources, accumulat-
ed some thing for herself and the
county never felt the burden of
maintaining her office. She charg-
ed them four dollars month
rent for the little cabin, and that
was cheap enough. In that way
she sold the structure" over
and over again and still had it.

no real settler within 500 miles,
but still the returns showed ma
jority of over 800 in favor of Wal
lace. being just enough to defeat
Cannady's election.
Wallace took his seat as delegate
in congress, and, although there was
considerable talk of a contest, it was
commenced and he retained his place
being succeeded as governor by Caleb
Lyon. Another election under terms
of the organic act was provided for
in 1854. Mr.. Wallace returned to the
territory with the hopes Of securing a
denomination, but the former elec-
ton was such a transparent swindle
that he received little support and in
the succeeding election Edward H.
Holbrook Of Boise county, the Demo
cratic candidate. was elected. Mr..
Wallace continued to act as the rep
resentative of Idaho in the national
congress until March 4, 1865 but new
er again honored idaho with his
presence.
CALEB LYON
'Caleb Lyon of Lyonsdale," as he
always signed himself, was the most
picturesque figure in our early his
tory. Appointed governor Of the ter
ritory in February, '64, he remained
in office until April, 1856. The mos,
notable event of his administration
was the removal of the territorial rec
ords from Lewiston and the establish
ment of the capital at Boise city. The
people of the northern part of the
territory generally referred to this
change as a larcenous proposition
and charged that Governor Lyon
"stole the capital"
The various messages and proclaim
ations of Governor Lyon are worthy
of study by anyone interested in novel
forms of gubernatorial enlightmenr.
Never did an official weave into his
official utterances so many weird and
fantastic sentences, although occa-
sionally those utterances bordered on
true eloquence. / have never forgot
ten an expression once used by him
in state paper, wherein referring to
Idaho's climate he spoke of "our ST.
berian summers and Italian winters. "
The office of governor in those days
carried with it the control of Indian
affairs within the territory and Gov
ernor Lyon in 1865 was charged with
dereliction of official duty in handl-
ing funds of the Nez Perce Indians,
and made the subject of an official
Investigation in Washington, pending
which he died.
Despite his idiosyncracies, Govern
or Lyon had many good qualities and
considerable ability. The people of
the territory were rather fond of him
although they laughed at his mes
sages and were generally more
The Idaho Republican., 1914-01-09

amusel than instructed by his ideas.
He was certainly strange figure to
be 'nterjected into the official life OF
a community consisting of an aggre-
cation of mining camps in our noun
tains and very few half cultivated
ranches in our valleys.
DIR. DAVID w. BALLARD
DIR. Ballard was appointed from
Oregon in 1856 and served until 80.
A good natured sort of fellow, he
drew his salary with commendable
regularity but did little else to inform
the people that he held high office
or was alive at all. One distinguish
ing characteristic singing him out
from the rest of the "Carpet-Bag'
governors was the fact that he actu-
ally stayed in Idaho during his term.
He wasted no time here, however,
upon its expiration, but Immediately
departed, and from that time never
reappeared within the boundaries of
the territory he once governed.
he did no particular good for Idaho,
it is to his credit that he did but lit
tie harm, SO good luck to him if still
in the land of the living.
EDWARD j. CURTIS
Reference to our territorial gov
ernors would be incomplete without
mention of "Ned" Curtis who, al
though never actually appointed, act
ed as governor for longer period
than any of them by virtue of his
being secretary of the territory and
the fact that under the organic act
the secretary was acting governor
whenever a vacancy existed in the
latter office, or the incumbent was
absent
Mr.. Curtis, then a practicing law
yer in Boise, was appointed secretary
in the spring of 1869. Governor Bal
lard's term expired shortly before
that time and Idaho was left without
a regular official head. Samuel
Bard, of some eastern state, but
which one none of the old timers
seemingly recollect, was appointed
governor by President Grant in
March, 1870, but was either lost on
his way here or repented before start
ing and so Idaho was never afflicted
by his presence
One Gilman Martson, another un-
known, was named for the position in
June, 1870, and became strayed or
stolen and failed to show up.
Alexander H. Connor, from the
Lord only knows where, was the next
venture of the president who named
him as governor in January, 1871,
but for some unknown reason, he too,
failed to appear.
President Grant must have grown

scene, and insisted on the next ap-

WILLIAM H. WALLACE

The enabling act creating the terri
tory of Idaho was approved by Presi-
dent Lincoln March 8, 1868. Prior
to this what is now included within
the boundaries of the state had been
part of Washington territory. Will
am H. Wallace was at the time dele
gate in congress from Washington
His term expired March 4, 1862. and
six days later he was appointed Ida
hos first governor but did not make
his appearance in the territory until
July Of that year.
William Daniels, who had been ap-
pointed secretary really acted as gov
ernor. In September the Republican
territorial convention was held at
Packer Johns cabin near Meadows in
what is now Adams county, and the
governor SO manipulated matters as
to secure the nomination for delegate
in congress and, in pursuance of his
authority, called an election to be
held in the succeeding October.
The western boundary of the terri
tory as originally created was the
main line of the Rocky mountains,
thus making large part OF Montana
and most of Wyoming part of Idaho
John M. Cannady was named by the
Democrats for delegate in congress.
The election returns came in an1
shovel Cannady's election by few
hundred majority. But in the course
of a couple of weeks what purportel
to be returns from Fort Laramie
were received. While there was
government post at that place, situ-
ated at the foot of the western slope
of the Rocky mountains, there was

the territorial governors Will
have little historical value and be
of slight interest to the present
residents of the state, as most of
the governors of the territory
were comparative strangers dur
ing their term of Office to even
the then residents of Idaho, ex-
cept those living in the immediate
vicinity of Boise.
The governors of the territory
like the United States attorneys
and higher judges, were appoint
ed by the President, and until
1884, when Mr.. Cleveland made
a new departure in this regard
and appointed Colonel, Steven
son to the position, all the gov
ernors had been appointed from
distant states and had been CIV
en- the position as a reward for
party services in other states.
They came here then as strang-
ers, totally unacquainted with the
territory or the habits and Gus
toms of its people, induced as a
general proprostion to take the
position either for the sake of
the salary attached or with the
hope of possible future political
preferment if they became resi-
dents.
Strangers in a Strange Land
1t is not surprising the gentle
men so selected had slight SYM
pathy with the territory or its
people, and that the people we're
equally without particular feeling
OF friendship or regard for their
governors and qcared little for
their wishes or ideas; besides,
Idaho until the construction of
the Oregon Short Line in 1882,
was to many not desirable
place of residence, being isolated
so far as railroad communication
was concerned, to reach its cap
ital requiring a stage ride of 25o
miles over roads that, once gone
over, we're always remembered,
and upon reaching here the only
communication with the outside
world was through the slow pro-
cess of the mails, there being no
telegraph lines within the linn
its of the territory.
The long continued practice of
selecting non-residents for the
most important territorial Offices
was one of the disadvantages
borne by Idaho in common with
the other territories. The Gus
tom was absolutely indefensible
and only political exigencies and
the necessity of rewarding small
fry politicians who had contribut-
ed to party success in the older
states was ever urged in its JUST.
cation.
Appointments From AbroaA
These remarks equally apply
to the territorial judges who with
two exceptions, until toward the
close of the ter ;torial days, were
all appointed from other states.
The salary of the judges was
small, manv hardships attached

as intelligent and capable as
many of our territorial judges
proved to be were found to fill
the positions.
The disabilities labored under
by the people of Idaho in this re-
gard are very well exemplifed by
an incident of the first term of
court held in Boise county. The
presiding judge opened the term,
and as usual most of the civil
cases stood on demurrer. After
listening to the arguments pro

nounced his decision upon them
all, overruling the first demurrer
and sustaining the second, and so
alternating to the end of the list.
Holbrook Wished to Know
"Ned" Holbrook, one of the
prominent lawyers of the early
days, was particularly hard
struck by these rulings, and ris-
ing in his place suggested to the
presiding judge that he should
give the reasons upon which his
decisions were based so that the
lawyers could profit by them and
amend their pleadings according
ly. The judge Strengthened
himself up, and casting wither-
ing look upon the attorney, said:
"Mr. Holbrook, if you think
that a man can come out here
from the states and act as one of
the judges for this territory on
a salary of $4,000 year, paid in
greenbacks worth 40 cents on the
dollar, and give reasons for
thing he does, you are entirely
mistaken"
This judicial comment applied
equally to other territorial Off
