[or-roots] timber in Whitman County WA

[JudyRobertson39 at aol.com]

At one time, 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 adjoin)
