The following stories are taken from the History of Boundary County, Idaho published by the Boundary County Historical Society in 1987.

**When the 1894 flood was on, he (my dad) went out and nailed a little piece of board on one of the trees and when the water had gone down so that he could get out on the ground again, that mark was up there seventeen feet. The water line was what they built the Kootenai Valley Railroad on.

**A minister before Jim Howe used to come up here and go to the logging camps. He went to one logging camp and tacked up a sign saying there would be church. When he turned around there were a couple of lumberjacks there. They said, "Before you have church, you're going to have to lick us. He said, "All right." So he took off his coat, laid it down, and just beat the tar out of them. He was an ex-boxer. Then he said, "Now that we're all gathered together, let's bow our heads in prayer."
