CHO|CEEBITS EARLY idaho HISTORY

At the first Pioneer Day meeting
held at the University of Idaho, May
II, 1922, there were number OF ad
dresses and contributions containing
choice bits Of Idaho pioneer history
which could not but be of the great
est interests, to all IdahOans. These
have been collected and arranged by
Professor C. J. Brosnan, of the de-
partment Of Pacific and Northwest
history at the University of Idaho, and
will be published in serial form IN

Address of Governor w. J. Mcdonnell
To attempt to give complete ac-
count of the events which led to the
transformation of the territory now
embraced within the boundaries of the
atate of Idaho from a virgin wilder
hess to its present degree OF advance
ment would require more time than
can be allotted to any one speaker at
a meeting of this character. Conse-
quently the speakers who will address
you on this occasion will confine their
narratives to the events in which they
participated. Speaking for myself,
shall undertake to do so.
The discovery of placer gold in Cal
of that commonwealth, and similar
discoveries decade later in Caribou,
B. C. and in the territory of Wash
ington, turned the tide of immigration
to the region drained by the Columbia
river and it's tributaries, placer min
ing in California having become so
nearly exhausted as to be no longer
a profitable employment by men,
who, during the fifties had followed
that employment in the California
gold fields. Those men abandoned
their claims and started for the new
Eldorado On the Clearwater and when
reports of the large shipments OF gold
dust to the United States mint at San
Francisco from Florence became
known, the exodus of gold placer
mines became quite general in the
spring of 1862. Latr discoveries dur
ing the summer of 1852 included the
Boise Basin of the Owyhee caused a
further influx of population many of
whom were not miners but sought
other means of making money legiti-
mately or otherwise 1t must be re-
that at this time these min
raj discoveries were made in the ter
ritOry now embraced in the states of
Idaho and Montana which was then
included in the territory of Washing |
ton with it's capital at Olympia, and
when reflecting back and remember
Ing that IN those da1s our only means
pf communicating with the territorial |
seat Of the government of Washing
ton territory was by stage coach or
saddle animals, there, being no postal
facilities, no telegraph, no railroads.

as were provided by nature were with.

countered by the authorities in en-
forcing the laws both civil and GRIMM

lation, including as it did many grad
yates in crime from the cities of the
Pacific coast and the gambling re-
sorts of the old time mining camps
of California. 1t soon became evil
dent that the creation Of new ter
ritory with the seat of it's govern
ment in the vicinity of the center OF
population of the now populous min
ing districts was the remedy to be
tried Consequently, steps were taken
when looking to that abject, and with
out serious opposition an enabling act
creating the territory of Idaho was
signed by Abraham Lincoln on March
8, 1868, and as soon thereafter as was
possible the machinery of civil gov
eminent in the new territory was set
in motion.
During the summer of 1863, follow
ing the creation of Idaho territory,
there was a further influx of popula-
l.
Arkansas, most of whom were farm
ers who were fleeing from the inter
racing strife then in progress incident
to the war of the Rebellion, had load
ed their families and moved their po-
sessions into covered wagons to which
they attached their teams, organized
into parties, and then started over
the then long and dangerous Oregon
trail in search of peace and new
homes.
