The campaign of 1896 was fully as exciting in Klickitat county as elsewhere in the state. The silver issue predominated, concentrating all believers in free silver, irrespective of former party affiliations, into a fusion organization. This organization held its county convention Saturday, September 5th, and nominated a strong ticket upon a platform closely following that adopted by the Chicago convention. The ·Republicans held their county convention August 22d. A feature of local interest in their platform was a plank demanding a close quarantine of all sheep coming into the county in order that the spread of disease might be prevented. A sum- mary of the county's vote at the election follows:

For presidential electors, Republican, 878, Fusionist, 664, Gold Democratic, 44, Prohibi- tionist, 14; congressmen, Samuel C. Hyde, W. H. Doolittle, Republicans, 871 and 870 votes respect- ively, James Hamilton Lewis, W. C. Jones, Fusionist, 669 and 665 votes respectively, C. A. Salyer, Martin Olsen, Prohibitionists, 10: gov- ernor, P.

Again in 1898 national questions predomi- nated in the county election. The Republican county convention was held September 17th; the Silverites and Anti-Expansionists, forming the Fusion party, met October 8th. That Klickitat still remained in the Republican ranks may be seen from the vote cast:

For congressmen, Wesley L. Jones, F. W. Cushman, Republicans, 824 and 800 votes respect- ively, James H. Lewis, William C. Jones, Fusion- ists, 396 and 371 votes respectively; supreme judges, Mark W.

With the campaign of 1898 the Fusion party passed away, leaving again but two important political parties in the field. Klickitat still con- tinued to roll up its usual large Republican majority. The Republican convention was held August 11th; the Democrats met September 16th. The official vote cast November 6, 1900, is herewith given, excepting that on minor state officers:

For presidential electors, Republican, 900, Democratic, 495, Prohibitionist, 50; congress- men, F. W. Cushman, Wesley L. Jones, Repub- licans, 893 and 898 votes respectively, F. C. Rob- ertson, J. T. Ronald, Democrats, 492 and 486 votes respectively; governor, J. M. Frink, Republican, 850, J. R. Rogers, Democrat, 544; superior judge, A. L. Miller, Republican, 1,009, James A. Munday, Democrat, 425; state repre- sentative, Joseph Nesbitt, Republican, 900, I. C.

Collins, Democrat, 544 (Richardson did not qualify, W. F. Byars was appointed to the office and served a full term); coroner, William Hart, Republican, 889, Charles L. Pierce, Democrat, 554.

The campaign of 1902 is of too recent a date to require a discussion of the issues involved. The Democrats secured two important offices, how- ever, notwithstanding the overwhelming Repub- lican majority in control of the county, William Van Vactor and John H. Smith being elected by small majorities. The official returns follow:

For representatives in congress, Wesley L. Jones, Francis W. Cushman, William E. Hum- phrey, Republicans, 925, 902 and 905 votes respectively, George F. Cotterill, O. R. Hol- comb, Frank B. Cole, Democrats, 386, 378 and 387 votes respectively, A, H. Sherwood, W. J. McKean, O. L. Fowler, Prohibitionists, 17, 18 and 17 votes respectively, J. H. C. Scurlock, D. Burgess, George W.

CHAPTER IV.

TOWNS.

GOLDENDALE.

It is interesting in tracing the history of towns to observe the different elements directly responsible for their origin, growth and develop- ment. Some are favored with special natural advantages of harbor or waterway; some have been fostered by railroads and corporations; some have suddenly sprung up mushroom-like because of a great mining or other excitement; a few, like the city of Goldendale, lack the stim- ulus of all such advantages and owe their exist- ence entirely to the presence of a good tributary country and the energy and labor of a group of enterprising citizens. Goldendale until a year ago had no closer railroad communication than Grant's Station, on the O. R. & N., twelve miles away, while the nearest point on the Columbia from which there was unobstructed navigation to Portland was at The Dalles, thirty-two miles distant.

But, although deprived of the conveniences of modern rapid transportation, the town was not without many natural advantages. It is located on an almost perfectly level tract of land sur- rounded by one of the richest farming sections in the state, a valley about thirty miles long and ten wide and easily capable of giving support to twenty thousand inhabitants. It comprises the great wheat-growing area of western Klickitat. The hills to the northward, whose bases reach almost to the town, furnish not only an abun- dance of pine timber, but also an excellent sum- mer range for stock; furthermore, they have proven capable, when cleared. of timber, of, pro- ducing in abundance all the hardier varieties of fruit. The city is afforded thorough drainage through a large stream of water that flows along its lower side, carrying off all seepage. This stream will also furnish an abundance of water- power for an electric plant whenever the capital is forthcoming to harness it. In the matter of a city water supply, Goldendale is also specially favored, as there will always be plenty of pure water within easy reach, no matter how large the town of the future may be. On account of the pure water and good drainage, typhoid and malarial fever are almost unknown, and the city has a very enviable reputation for health- fulness.

The site of the present city of Goldendale was first settled by Mortimer Thorp in the later fifties. Mr. Thorp built a house and fenced in a tract of land close to where the Methodist church now stands. He was a stockman, how- ever, and gave more thought to finding a favora- ble place for cattle-raising than to the possibili- ties of his location as a town site. Later he packed his possessions and moved over into the Yakima valley without ever having acquired title to the land. After Mr. Thorp abandoned the claim, it came into the hands of L. J. Kimber- land, who sold out, September 5, 1871, to John J. Golden. It was Mr. Golden's plan when he bought the property to lay it out as a town site and give to the rich Klickitat valley a suitable trade center and supply point. Accordingly, he sent the next spring to The Dalles for a surveyor (he was unable to procure one here), and had the town site platted. The original Goldendale was located along Klickitat creek on the flat where the steam laundry and planer now stand. Most of the business portion of the present town lies in Golden's first and second additions and in the Chatfield addition.

The first move on the part of the founder of the new town was toward the establishment of a church within its borders. In the fall of 1871 a large and successful camp-meeting was held, as the result of which a Methodist church was organized in the settlement. Mr. Golden donated to it twelve lots as a building site, and four more were given to the minister.

A short time afterward Rev. J. H. B. Royal, with the co-operation of the people of the settle- ment, built a parsonage. When the new build- ing was completed the subject of naming the town was broached to a party of settlers, and the minister, noticing the numerous willows that grew in the flat along the bank of the creek, pro- posed Willowdale, but a suggestion that it be named Goldendale, after its founder met with general approval, and the town was named accordingly.

Mr. Golden offered to donate eight lots to the man building the first store in Goldendale. In the fall of 1872 Thomas Johnson accepted the proposition and erected a building, the front part of which he used as a store, the rear as a dwell- ing. In 1874 he erected a separate building for

130

store purposes, and by the end of that year the new city contained seven houses.

In drawing up the plat of the town, the sur- veyor numbered the lots in the same order that is always followed in numbering the sections in a township, but a mistake was made in recording the plat, the reverse order being followed. The deeds, however, were made out according to the surveyor's plat, which Mr. Golden had in his possession. This caused considerable confusion, as all the first deeds had to be changed to corre- spond to the recorded plat. The lots in the first addition to Goldendale were numbered in a simi- lar manner, but the second was platted according to the usual custom.

When John J. Golden bought the town site, L. J. Kimberland was postmaster and the post- office passed to the purchaser along with the property. It appears to have been discontinued for a time afterward, but Goldendale was again granted a daily mail in 1873. Altogether there were not more than a "hatful of letters" to come or go at any one time, and no papers then had a circulation in the community. We are informed that the postmaster was able to carry the entire mail for the community in his saddle-bags.

Up to 1878 the growth of the town of Golden- dale was exceedingly slow, only one store, that of Willis Jenkins, having come in to compete with the pioneer establishment, but that fall occurred an event which gave a new impetus to the growth of the town. In 1872 the question of locating the county seat was referred to a pop- ular vote. The two places then desiring the honor were Goldendale in the valley and Rock- land on the Columbia, across from The Dalles. Although it seemed evident that Goldendale would be the point chosen, as most of the settlers were in the valley, Rockland managed to urge its claims so strongly that a majority of the people cast their ballots in favor of that place. John J. Golden, to whom the city of Goldendale has always been as a favorite child, was not discour- aged because of this defeat, but set to work with renewed vigor to advance the interests of the prospective city. Soon he and his coadjutors had caused Goldendale to become the center from which well-traveled county roads radiated in all directions. In 1877 stage connections were estab- lished with the Dalles, and shortly afterward the line was extended to Yakima and Ellensburg. It was only after a long, severe struggle that Mr. Golden and the other friends of the town were able to bring again to an issue the question of the location of the county seat, as the cattlemen were from the first opposed to Goldendale and their influence was strong not only in the county, but also in the territorial legislature. Pressure was brought to bear by their representatives to pre- vent the question from being again referred to the voters of the county, but finally, in 1878, Nelson Whitney succeeded in having a bill passed

providing that a three-fifths majority of the elec- tors of the county should decide the matter. At the general election held in the fall of 1878, the question was given to the people for final settle- ment, and nearly five-sixths of the votes cast were for Goldendale.

The following year the county property was removed in accordance with the will of the peo- ple as expressed by their suffrages, and Golden- dale has ever since remained the county seat. At that time there was no courthouse in Klickitat, and as the business of the county had assumed sufficient proportions to necessitate a building, the people in Goldendale and vicinity took the matter in hand and built by private subscription a substantial wooden structure which they gave to the county free of cost to the taxpayers.

With the year 1878 a period of growth and prosperity for Goldendale began. By the follow- ing year the town had sufficient population to entitle it under the existing laws to corporate powers, and an act was passed by the territorial legislature and approved November 14, 1879, incorporating Goldendale with the following described territory: "That portion of land known and designated upon the surveys of the United States in the Territory of Washington, as the south half of the southwest quarter of section sixteen, and the south half of the southeast quar- ter of section seventeen, and the northeast quarter of section twenty, and the northwest quarter of section twenty-one, township four north, range sixteen east of the Willamette meridian. "

The following temporary officers were ap- pointed to serve until the first election, to take place the first Monday in April, 1880: Mayor, Thomas Johnson: recorder, and ex-officio city assessor and clerk, W. F. Ames; councilmen, Homer Sears, John J. Golden, W. B. Chatfield, Justin Scammon and D. B. Gaunt. By 1880 the following business houses had been established in the city of Goldendale: General merchandise, Lowengart & Sichel, S. Lowenberg & Company; flouring mills, Klickitat Flouring Mills, D. Scam- mon, proprietor, Goldendale Flouring Mills, Nes- bitt, Jones & Company, proprietors; planing mills, Klickitat Planing Company, Mitchell & Helm, proprietors, Thomas Johnson; hardware, J. H. McCulloch, Graff & Filloon; furniture, Adolph Plahte ; drug stores, City Drug and Book Store, W. L. Ames & Company, proprietors, City Drug Store, Saylor & Company, proprietors; gro- cery, William Barnett; harness shop, California, M. T. Shannon, proprietor: blacksmith shops, S. W. Gardiner & Son, A. C. Hall, J. C. Marble and Philip S. Caldwell; jewelry stores, L. B. Royal, Victor Gobat; hotels, Occidental, T. E. Caley, proprietor, Palace, W. H. Chappell, M. V. Harper and Joseph Verden; barber shop, Charles Gibbons, proprietor; job printing, John T. Har- sell, The Sentinel, C. K. and K. A. Seitz, pro-

prietors; livery stables, Thomas Johnson, Miller & Gaunt; millinery, Mrs. J. Ingersoll; contract- ors, Robert Jones, Tomlinson & Mowlds, C. M. Phillips; real estate, John J. Golden, John R. Chatfield, M. V. Harper; attorneys-at-law, Dus- tin & Lamdrum, Dunbar & Reavis; physicians, W. T. McCauley, Dr. Houghton, N. Henton, D. P. Hewitt, G. Hill and P. Laurendeau; post- master, Justin Scammon.

There was by this time a daily stage line to The Dalles, and three times weekly a stage made the trip to Ellensburg and Yakima. Four churches had organizations in the town-the Baptist, Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian. There was also a private academy with an attend- ance of one hundred and sixty students, presided over by Captain W. A. Wash. The mail service had been increased to a tri-weekly, and a weekly newspaper, the Klickitat Sentinel, C. K. Seitz, editor, had been established.

The growth of the town was continuous and uninterrupted until the year 1888, when, on May 13th, a destructive fire swept almost the entire business portion of the city out of existence. After the fire there remained only E. W. Pike's livery barn and Philip Caldwell's blacksmith shop.

The fire broke out in James Dickson's liv- ery stable about two o'clock Sunday afternoon while many of the citizens were out of town. Mr. Dickson, who was in the office of the stable, being alarmed by a roaring noise, went to investigate the cause and found the barn on fire. It is probable that if he had had a supply of water handy, he could have extinguished the flames before they had done much damage, for he almost succeeded in doing so with a single pail of water which stood near. But while he was gone for more water, the flames climbed to the roof of the building, igniting the hay and making it impossible with the inadequate supply of water to save the barn and prevent the spread of the flames.

An alarm was instantly sounded. People rushed to the scene with all promptness and the fight began. It was immediately perceived that the barn was doomed and that the whole town was in danger, so the workers gave their atten- tion to removing valuables from the houses in the vicinity of the burning building. This was about all that could be done, as Goldendale had no water system at the time and it was not possi- ble to approach close enough to throw water on the flames with buckets. Everybody labored to save what he could, and before those who had gone to the country, being warned by the smoke, could return to town, those who had stayed at home were nearly exhausted. The country people and their wagons were pressed into serv- ice and much valuable property was saved from the ravages of the fire. In some instances the property taken from the burning buildings was

not removed beyond danger, and as the flames spread, it caught and burned with the rest. For four hours the fire held high carnival, entirely consuming seven blocks in the heart of the town. All the district between Broadway and Court streets and between Chatfield and Golden avenues was left desolate, and, besides almost the entire business portion, the houses of twenty- five families were destroyed, also much valuable personal property. The following list of esti- mated losses will give an idea of the magnitude of the disaster:
