History See other History Articles Title: IN THE EARLY DAYS OF LEMHI COUNTY (8-25-05) As ever, enduring the war years mean sacrifices. In this case, WWII saw rationing of lots of things; here, a staple of the food supply, sugar. Now, as then, it seems like God's creatures did things 'their way. My current problem stems from some blacks and whites--and they ain't pigs! I believe the creamery mentioned back in 1935 is the one that has finally given up the ghost down on main street, by the river. It was last a cheese factory, which---tah dah---is made from milk. It will now be a restaurant. The 1915 mention of the Lemhi Agency refers to the Indian agency. Salmon is noted for the Lemhi Indians, notably Sacaweja. We now have a large, new Sacaweja Interpretative Center. Don't ask. I thought the 100 Years Ago column was an interesting sidenote regarding the number of female electricians in the country 110 years ago being zero, zilch, nada, and within 10 years there were 409. In this same recapture of time, only of too recent a date to be considered 'real history', is a note in the 30 year ago column about the waiting list for volunteer fireman. Seems as though the city council had amended a city ordinance to allow women to serve in this capacity. So the first lady had been listed in January as 10th and by the end of August had moved to up to the 5th in line. Oh yeah......Wimpy Creek (pronounced wimpy as in bush 1 was a wimp). That was where I initially wanted to purchase when I moved over to this country. But then, I visited one time and was walking around the creek in the yard area---and holy tamales! The mosquitos thought I was the new blood bank! It was good that we hadn't come to an agreement on that place--sure did like it though.

That is so great! Thanks a bunch for posting it. Next time, post to me the way back machine that will take me there.
Affairs in the Balkans are approaching a crises. So we had WWI (to end all wars), WWII (to found Israel), the Cold War (to enrich the military/industrial complex), and all the rest of our wars to profit a few...what a deal.
