"Filed for record this 23d day of July, A. D. 1862; 7 o'clock and 10 minutes.

"I. H. HOFF, County Auditor.

"By JONAS W. BROWN, Deputy."

The only other water right recorded in 1862 was that of Charles Bennett, who filed a claim to all the waters of Kelley's creek. This claim was filed Octo- ber 12th.

On March 3, 1863, the territory of Idaho was or- ganized and under the new regime Idaho county held its first election that fall. This election was called for the purpose of choosing a delegate to congress and representatives to the territorial legislature. Idaho county cast 346 votes for delegate. To the legislative council it sent Lyman Standford, and to the house, Alonzo Leland and John Wood.

In 1864 S. S. Fenn was elected to the legislative council, and E. C. Latta and Alexander Blakely were chosen as Idaho county's representatives in the house. Other than these three we have been unable to find who were elected that year. The following year a special

legislative election was held at which Fenn was re- turned to the council and Alexander Blakely and J. A. Ripson were elected representatives, the former suc- ceeding himself.

A roster of the officers elected in 1866 is as follows : Councilman, S. S. Fenn : representatives, J. H. Harris and A. W. McDonald : probate judge, F. A. Shearer ; auditor, recorder and clerk, E. K. Patterson ; treasurer, Daniel Courtenay ; assessor, J. Renau ; commissioners, Conrad Fruth, Thomas Marriott, S. S. Smith : sur- veyor, Ed. Hancgan ; superintendent public instruction, Benjamin Haymond. All were Democrats.

The next election, that of 1868, resulted as fol- lows: Councilman, S. P. C. Howard ; representatives, E Mulkey and E. T. Bailey ; commissioners, Thomas F. Marriott. James Morehead. : pro-

bate judge, : sheriff, H. B. Sinclair ; auditor, recorder and clerk, Benjamin F. Morris : treas- urer, J. J. Mannel ; district attorney, James W. Poe : coroner, C. A. Sears. The commissioners appointed Alexander McDonald to fill the vacant commissioner- ship and E. R. Sherwin as probate judge. Both of these appointees were Republicans, and, with Coroner Sears. were the only members of that party repre- sented among the officers.

At this election the county seat was removed from Florence, which had been steadily declining, to Wash- ington, the metropolis of the Warren mining district. The commissioners met at the new county seat in Au- gust, 1869, and contracted with F. Shissler and John Mathison for the construction of a county jail, the cost not to exceed $2.200. A vacant cabin was rented of John Wood for use as a court house. On July 14th the commissioners divided the county into three new election precincts, whose boundaries were defined as follows :

"District No. I to commence at the wire bridge across Salmon river and thence southwest to the head- waters of a stream running from near Marshall's old Mountain House and following down the line of said stream to its junction with little Salmon river at the upper crossing of said Salmon river between Warren and Warm Spring and thence following down the said river to its junction with the main south Salmon and all the country belonging to said county lying south of said line including Warren and South Salmon, shall constitute District No. I.

"District No. 2 shall commence at the north line of District No. I and down the main Salmon river to the big canyon between John Day creek and Slate creek. including all of the Payette country with Warm Springs and Miller's camp and John Day creek, shall constitute District No. 2.

"District No. 3 shall commence at the north line of District No. 2 and all the country belonging to said county north of said line, including Florence. Slate Creek and White Bird. shall constitute District No. 3."

In 1869 Idaho county had only nine county roads. The first of these was created May 15, 1862, and em- braced the streets of Florence; the second road. being the trail leading from the head of Miners' street, via Babboon gulch and the mouth of Slate creek, to the

county line, was created at the same meeting, as were also the third road, formerly the old Milner trail, and the fourth county road, the trail leading from the south end of Miners' street, Florence, to the Salmon. These were the oldest. The ninth road to be taken 1111- der the county's fostering care was that between the Allison place on the Salmon and Florence, via the Flor- ence quartz mill. This road was created by the com- missioners on May 23. 1869.

In 1870 Idaho county's officers were as follows: Councilman, S. P. C. Howard; representatives, P. Cleary and Perry Clark ; sheriff, H. B. Sinclair ; audi- tor and recorder, Benjamin F. Morris ; treasurer, J. J. Manuel: assessor, Josh Fockler : probate judge. John Keep : commissioners, Harvey H. Hall, Charles Chris- tie and H. A. Tinkham. Hall and Christie were the only Republicans.

The official vote cast at the November election in Idaho county in 1872 was as follows: For delegate, John Hailey. Democrat, 136, Joseph Huston. Repub- lican. 92: district attorney, James W. Poe, Democrat, 124, John Clark, Republican, 99 ; representatives, N. B. Willey and Harvey Hall.

William Allison, Independ- ent. 12: coroner, Jesse Farmer, Democrat, 128. C. A. Sears, Republican, 99: commissioner, second district, W. B. Holmes, Democrat, 42. W. B. Bloomer, IO.

The election of 1874 resulted in a sweeping Demo- cratic victory as will be seen from the following vote :

For delegate. S. S. Fenn, Democrat, 163. T. W. Bennett, Republican, 23 : councilman, S. P. C. How- ard, Democrat, 146, Alexander McDonald, Republican, 40 : representatives. Philip Cleary, George M.

Auchinvole, Republican, 99: commissioners, A. Freidenrich, S. W. Carpenter, John Wood, Democrats, 147, 148 and 85 votes, respectively, George Woodward, John Draper, Republicans. 114 and 37 votes, respectively : superintendent public in- struction, J. J. Manuel, Democrat. 103. J. H. Elfers, Republican, 80.

The official records of the election held in 1876 are incomplete, giving simply the vote cast in this county for delegate to congress and district attorney. S. S. Fenn was reelected to congress and in this county re- ceived 245 votes, while his opponent, John Clark, se- cured only 131. James W. Poe, the Democratic nomi- nee for district attorney, received 301 votes : Jasper Rand, 39 votes. S. P. C. Howard was returned for the fifth time to the council, and Philip Cleary was chosen as Idaho's sole representative in the lower house. C. W. Case was elected sheriff. Benjamin F. Morris was re-elected auditor and recorder, K. W. White received a majority of the votes cast for the office of assessor, Frank Oliver became treasurer, Aurora Shumway was elected probate judge and J. S. Fockler. D. H. Howser and George Dempster, com- missioners. As usual nearly all of the men elected were Democrats. This was the first election held in the county in which the settlers on Camas prairie partic- ipated, that section becoming a portion of this county in 1875.

The names of the victorious candidates in the cam- paign of 1878 may be seen from the summarized vote given below: Delegate to congress, George Ainslee, Democrat. 210, J. W. Brown, Republican, 185; dis- trict attorney. James W. Poe, Democrat, 221, M. Bel- lure, Republican, 18: councilman, James Witt. Demo- crat, 175, N. B.

Chamberlain, Marion Smith, Republicans, 151, 241 and 210 votes, respective- ly ; coroner, John Denny, Democrat, 182.

The annexation movement affected politics in Idaho county fully as much as in other counties Of northern Idaho, and the campaign of 1880 was largely influ- enced by that movement. The people of this county seem to have been quite unanimous in their belief that annexation was a wise policy for the northern counties and at the polls 287 votes were cast favoring annexa- tion to Washington. Only five cast negative votes. Brayman, the annexation candidate for congressman, received 297 votes, George Ainslee, the Democratic candidate from southern Idaho, received 162 votes, while Alanson Smith, the regular Republican candi- date, also opposed to annexation. was given only 29 votes. For district attorney, A. Quackenbush, Repub- lican, received 270 votes, I. M. Maxwell, Democrat, 215; for councilman, L. P. Wilmot, the Republican candidate, received 258 votes, J. H. Forney, Democrat, 226; for representatives, T. W. Girton. E. B. True, Democrats, received 255 and 250 votes, respectively, George Dempster, F. A. Fenn, Republicans, were given

226 and 233 votes, respectively ; for probate judge, John Bower, Democrat, received 249 votes, W. C. Pearson. Republican, 237; for auditor and recorder, W. S. M.

Robinson, Republican, 228; for cor- oner, Caleb Witt, Democrat, received 236 votes, John Denny. Republican. 241.

Again, for the year 1882, the official vote as can- vassed, is missing and we can present only the names of the successful candidates. For the first time since the organization of the county the election went strong- ly Republican in 1882, only four Democrats being suc- cessful. These were C. W. Case, who was elected pro- bate judge over George Woodward; T. J. Rhoads, who defeated Harry Wilson for the shrievalty : J. H. For- ney, who was elected district attorney : and Delos Carr, who was elected one of the county commissioners. James Odle was elected councilman ; William C. Pear- son and Robert Larimer, representatives ; J. M. Crooks and N. B. Willey, county commissioners ; J. B. Cham- berlain, auditor and recorder: J. M. Dorman, treas- urer : D. H. Telcher, assessor : and John Denny, cor- oner.

The records of the election held in 1884 are also incomplete, so that only the names of the officers elected can be given. These were: Sheriff, A. W. Talkington. Democrat ; treasurer, J. M. Dorman, Re- publican : probate judge, C. W. Case, Democrat ; as- sessor, D. H. Telcher, Republican ; district attorney, J. H. Forney. Democrat ; commissioners, Cassius M. Day, John Mathison, C. B. Wood, Democrats : auditor and recorder. T. J. Rhoads, Democrat ; surveyor, F. P. Turner, Democrat : coroner, John Denny, Democrat.

In 1886 the Democrats secured ten out of the four- teen officers elected. The campaign was fought on general party principles. The official vote is given as follows: For delegate, John Hailey, Democrat, 406, Fred T. Dubois, Republican and anti-annexationist, 277 : councilman. S. S. Fenn, Democrat, 325. Robert Larimer, Republican, 354; representative, Henry C. Johnson. Democrat, 336, Frank A. Fenn, Republican, 346: sheriff, A. W. Talkington, Democrat, 411, J. T. Aram, Republican, 274: probate judge, C. W. Case, Democrat. 362, W. C. Pearson, Republican. 325 ; dis- trict attorney. J. H. Forney, Democrat. 385, J. E. Beede, Republican, 264; auditor and recorder, T. J. Rhoads, Democrat. 491, F. B. King, Republican, 188; treasurer. John Bower, Democrat, 425 : assessor, M. V. Jarrett, Democrat, 321, J. N. Rice, Republican, 362 ; coroner, O. W. Bullard, Democrat, 281, S. E. Bibby, Republican, 392 : surveyor, F. P. Turner, Democrat,

401, J. H. Robinson, Republican, 277 ; commissioners, Ist district, James Witt, Democrat, 112, C. M. Day, Republican, 79, 2d district, H. S. Jones, Democrat, 172, William Von Berge, Republican, 161, 3d district. Phil- ip Cleary, Democrat, 67, J. B. Chamberlain, Repub- lican, 65.

The annexation question came strongly to the front in 1888 for the last time, for before another election could take place Idaho had donned the garb of state- hood and taken her place by the side of her sister states of the Union. The movement for annexation did not have as many friends in Idaho county as formerly, however. for Norman Buck, the annexationist candi- date for congress, received a comparatively light vote. Several causes conspired to weaken the annexation spirit in this county, chief among which was the pro- posed division of the county should the northern por- tion of the state be segregated from the southern. Then, too, the people were weary of fighting for what seemed to be a lost cause and were apathetic in the matter. The apparent strength of the movement in Idaho county at this time will be seen from the vote for Buck which is given in the official count below :

For delegate, J. H. Hawley, Democrat, 365. F. T. Dubois, Republican, 252, Norman Buck, Annexation- ist. 57; councilman, T. F. Nelson, Democrat. 376, N. B. Willey, Republican, 307 ; representative. S. W. Smith, Democrat, 315, C. M. Day, Republican. 363; sheriff, Keith W. White, Democrat, 349. D. H. Tel- cher. Republican, 334; probate judge, C. W. Case, Democrat, 363, W. C. Pearson, Republican. 317 : dis- trict attorney, J. H. Forney, Democrat, 400, W. A. Hali, Republican, 282: auditor and recorder, T. J. Rhoads. Democrat. 481, Robert Larimer, Republican. 208 : treasurer, J. Bower, Democrat, 401 ; assessor. J. F. McLean, Democrat, 295, J. N. Rice, Republican. 387 ; commissioners, Ist district, Thelbert Wall, Democrat, 117, J. S. Kinkaid, Republican, 73. 2d district, J. B. Forsman. Democrat, 190, Charles Bentz, Republican, 165, 3d district, S. A. Willey, Democrat, 53. E. W. Robie, Republican, 78 ; coroner. T. W. Nickel. Demo- crat, 332, S. E. Bibby, Republican, 345 ; surveyor. F. P. Turner. Democrat, 283, E. C. Spedden, Republican, 395 ; superintendent of schools, H. Robbins, Democrat. 387. At this election only seven votes were cast in Florence precinct, at one time the most populous dis- trict in Idaho.

The first state election passed off very quietly in Idaho county. The issues were national in character and too generally known to require discussion here. The vote cast in Idaho county follows :

Congressman, Alexander E. Mayhew, Democrat. 369, Willis Sweet, Republican, 377 ; governor. Benja- m111 Wilson, Democrat, 365, George L. Shoup. Repub- lican, 384 : lieutenant governor, Samuel Taylor.

The campaign of 1892 was enlivened by a county seat contest. The little town of Grangeville had grown into a small city and its inhabitants believed that their town was the proper place for the county seat. The friends of the town therefore petitioned the district judge to order a county seat election, that the voters might express themselves in the matter of removing the county seat from Mount Idaho. This order the judge granted. Had it not been for the fact that Den- ver and Cottonwood were as ambitious for county seat honors as was Grangeville, and were as yet afraid to measure their strength with the metropolis of the prairie in case the voters should express themselves as favorable to removal, it it quite probable that those favorable to removing the county seat from Mount Idaho would have won their point. As it was, how- ever, 470 votes were cast in the affirmative and 375 in the negative, and a two-thirds affirmative vote be- ing necessary to remove the county seat, the project failed. It may be interesting to note the vote recorded in the different precincts on this question, so we here- with present the official vote :

Grangeville, yes 163, no II; White Bird, yes 13, no 18; Slate Creek, yes 24, no I ; Clearwater, yes 16, no 36; Lake, yes 26, no 11 ; Fairview, yes 35, no 15 : Mount Idaho, yes 15. no 46; Rapid River, yes 15. 10 o : John Day, yes 8, no 1 ; Cottonwood, yes 16, no 81 ; Westlake, yes 14, no 3: Warren, yes 50, no 10: Elk City, yes 27, no 18 ; Denver, yes 21, no 57 ; Keuterville, yes 5. no 42; Forks, yes 13, no 14: Florence, yes 9, no o: total. yes 470, no 375.

The Populists entered the political field in Idaho county in 1892 and made a few nominations for some of the more important county offices. Both the Re-

publican and Democratic conventions passed strong resolutions pledging their support toward the early construction of wagon roads to Elk City and other in- terior mining camps. Of course the political parties all suffered from small factional fights engendered by the county seat contest. The official vote was as follows :

For president, Cleveland, 434, Harrison, 391, show- ing that the county was not far from being equally divided politically ; congressman, E. B. True, Demo- crat, 430, Willis Sweet, Republican, 420, James Gunn, Populist, 27 : governor, J. M. Burke, Democrat, 444, W. J. McConnell, Republican, 414, A. J.

Sulli- van, Republican, 414 : secretary of state, J. H. Wick- ersham, Democrat, 444, J. F. Curtis, Republican, 4II ; attorney general, W. T. Reeves, Democrat, 442, G. M. Parsons, Republican, 412; treasurer, Philip A. Regan, Democrat, 439, W. C. Hill, Re- publican, 413; auditor, W. J. McClure, Democrat, 433, F. C.

Rowton, Republican, 99; joint representative of Idaho and Nez Perces counties, D. C. Stephens, Democrat, 426, W. L .. Thompson, Republican, 405 ; representa- tive, T. W. Girton, Democrat, 448, R. C. Divine, Re- publican. 403 : sheriff, C. S. Gregory, Republican, 429. A. W. Talkington, Democrat, 409, William Coram, Populist, 52; assessor, J. H. Wann, Democrat, 440, C. F.

Re- publican, 429, C. W. Case, Democrat, 420, Henry Meyer, Republican, 430, Delos Carr, Democrat, 419, J. S. Fockler, Democrat, 479, J. B. Chamberlain, Re- publican, 375 ; coroner, J. W. Turner, Democrat. 504. F. B. King. Republican, 349; surveyor, G. M. Rob- ertson, Democrat, 477. George Woodward. Republi- can, 380. For the first time since the organization of the county a Republican was elected sheriff.

By 1894 the Populists had gained considerable strength in this county and polled a much larger vote than in 1892. All three of the parties adopted free silver platforms. Much personality and local strife marked the election in Idaho county. As will be seen from the following vote neither of the leading parties could claim a complete victory, the county offices be- ing quite evenly divided :

Congressman, J. M. Ballentine, Democrat. 439. Ed- gar Wilson, Republican, 501, James Gunn, Populist, 170 ; justice supreme court, J. C. Elder, Democrat, 442, J. W. Huston. Republican, 506, Texas Angel, Popu- list, 146; governor. E. A. Stevenson, Democrat, 497, W. J. McConnell, Republican, 479, J. W. Ballentine,
