Lincoln County's government of
ficially opened la Newport Monday.
A weekend shift from Toledo, the
old county seat, was completed and
most offices wan ia the remodeled
old high school gymnasium, a tem
porary site.
Lincoln became the tenth among
Oregon's M to change county seats.
It did it by a vote of the people,
a procedure which was scorned in
some of the early day shifts.
The earliest moonlight assistance
given in the transfer of county
seats was in 1861. Baker County
then was moving its aeat of gov
ernment from the mining camp of
Auburn to the town of Baker City,
six miles to the east There waa
fear that the change would not go
tmooDosed. so a crowd of Baker
residents made an early morning
trip to Auburn, loaded the court
records in a wagon, and complet
ed the change by sun-up.
That was a relatively simple
procedure. Soma changes, partial-

Check Made on

The work of improving the
South River road came a bit
nearer to reality Monday when
the county court turned over to
the engineers and surveyor de
scription of 23 pieces of property
tnst win be needed In connection
with the project
The pieces are all small In
slse but are needed to widen the
curves and straighten other por

The next step be thst of reach

whom hsve petitioned the county
court for the improvement

Until the Lincoln County change,
the most recent On Oregon was
removal of the Jackson County seat
from the pioneer town of Jackson
ville ta Mediord. That waa ia 1H7,
leaving Jacksonville ta its present
role as chiefly a museum city. 1
At one time Grants Pass was in
Jackson County but in IMS it was'
moved into Josephine County and ,
became county seat, to boot. The I
original county seat was Kerby-j
ville, which had a variety of spell
ings such as Kirbyville and Kirbey
vilie. It also changed its name at
one time to Napoleon and finally!
wound up as Kerby. That change-!
able town, 33 miles south ot Grants
Pass, lust its courthouse in 1885
when the Legislature changed
county boundaries' and provided!
that the people should vote on a'
county seat The people chose the
newly annexed city of Grants Pass.
One ot the most unusual trans
fers in Oregon county history was
that which gave Pendleton the
eounty seat When Umatilla County
was formed, the Legislature pro
vided that Marshall Station should
be the site until an election gave
the people a voice. The election,
in 1864, gave Umatilla City also
known aa Umatilla Landing the
victory and the following year the
records and offices were moved
there. The Legislature ot 1868 was
prevailed on to reopen the matter
and allow the people to decide
whether thev liked Umatilla City
or would prefer soma vague place
off to the east
Vagueness won. And the county
court aftes thinking the matter
through, decided that Pendleton
was the right spot. There wasn t
any Pendleton then, in 1869, except
in the mind of the county judge,
F. W. Bailey. It turned out that
hii house, on the Moses Goodwin
f srm, was his idea of a fine county
seat town named Pendleton.
So he whisked the records to his
house. Umatilla City, outraged,
sued and he had to take them back
until there was some place better
than a farm house to keep them.
In jig time he and Goodwin built
a courthouse, moved the records
again, and that time made it
stick.
There was another case of rec
ords-grabbing when McMinnville
won out over Lafayette in Yamhill
County. But it. too, won at the!
polls as well and took over legally
in 1889.
Tomorrow: A double reverse in
