<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By about 1930 most counties had started to

believe that I found him with a new wife living in Whitman in the 1910 census

before the farming became so prevalent and late in the 1800's there was
significant timber on the Palouse Hills. So much so that Rockford Wa
(located in southern Spokane County) was inundated with loggers. The
loggers tended to enjoy Saturday night and Rockford boasted of the highest
crime rate in the US for the period of time that logging went on in the
area. These crimes consisted primarily of murdering each other.(Spokane and
Whitman counties
