Life's long journey ends in the Idaho Legislature
Lewiston mourns Alfred Damas, 67, a longtime city businessman and prominent Mason, who died Sunday night at his daughter's home after a weeks long illness. Born in Belgium, he sailed, mined in 1849 San Francisco, then moved to Orofino and finally Lewiston in 1872, serving as county treasurer and probate judge. He was a 33rd degree Mason and inspector general, leaving a wife and daughter. Also profiled is Lewiston police officer Hill Shannon of Spokane, famed for 4000 arrests and feared by criminals, and notes from the Idaho Legislature about county division debates and committee appointments.

Change of County Officials In Idaho Enacted At Court House
Monday marked the oath administration for the new county board and officials in Neg Perce county. Elected officers include Commissioner George A Sasith chairman, Sheriff William Schuldt, Auditor James R Lydon, Treasurer Charles A Hastings, Surveyor Edson Briggs, School Superintendent Service Mc Coy, and County Attorney Miles J Johnson plus deputies. A petition circulated in Moscow urged $19,000 in bonds to build a supreme court library at Lewiston, with debate over location and community impact. The Mirror disputed the petition, while supporters stressed Lewiston’s growth, wealth, and county prominence. The article argues the library is vital for court efficiency and bar members in north Idaho, and notes Lewiston sanitation efforts and a Friday band election.
