The board had also before it the
report of the commission appointed
to locate temporary county seat.
This report was brief and was as
follows:
ITO the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Whitman
County:
1--WE, the undersigned, having
been appointed a board of commits
sioners to locate the county seat of
the above named county, by act of
the legislature in organizing said
county: We have selected the Forks
of the Palouse as a suitable place
for the county seat until the next
general election.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1921-12-09
~. T. LOGSDON,
JAMES A. PERKINS ,

Thus the county seat was located
at the site of Colfax. What a for
tunate thing it was for us that the
commissioners did not see fit to To-
cate the county seat of Whitman
county at Ainsworth or at the site
of Pasco.
About three miles southwest of
Colfax, on the state highway, is the
southeast quarter of section 20,
township Is, range 43, now owned
by Silas F. Morgan. AS you look
upon this place, now a beautiful
farm, you behold Whitman City.
