    ), Louis Stuve (biography).
17. ↑ according to his daughter Lilly's memories for a newspaper article for the Idaho Centennial year in Payette County, Idaho.
18. ↑ after completing service in the Norwegian military.
19. ↑ He went "out West" with his brothers in the summer of 1883 and established a shingle mill business in Clarkfork, Idaho. From 1883-1901 Louis & his brothers operated shingle mills at Bonner's Ferry & Harrison Idaho. In 1905 he moved to New Plymouth, Idaho to farm next to Glovers (his in-laws).
20. ↑ This was, evidently, Timber and Stone Lands, which he purchased for logging the timber. Details of Cash Entry File #1041 are as follows (I have a copy of the file): Louis Stuve appeared in Territory of Idaho District Court in Koutenai County on 27 May 1889 and applied to be admitted to become a citizen of the United State. After producing the necessary evidence and taking the required oaths, it was ordered that he be admitted, and he was accordingly admitted to be a citizen.
    He appeared at the Land Office in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on 21 July 1902 to purchase the tract of land. In his sworn statement, he stated that he was age 48 and a shingle weaver by occupation with a post office address of Harrison, Idaho. He stated that he had personally examined the land and found it unfit for cultivation and valuable chiefly for its lumber. It was uninhabited with no mining or other improvements. His signature is on the document. In another document of the same date (called a Notice for Publication), he gave notice that he would appear before the Register and Receiver of the Land Office in Coeur d'Alene on Monday, 13 Oct 1902 to offer proof to show that the land was more valuable for its timber or stone than for agricultural purposes, and to establish his claim to the land. Four potential witnesses are named on the document. The notice was posted for thirty days in the Register's office beginning on 21 July 1902. In addition, notice was published for sixty days in the Wallace Press, a newspaper published at Wallace in Shoshone County, Idaho. The notice was first published 2 Aug 1902 and was published in each weekly issue for the full sixty-day period, with the last publication in the issue of 4 Oct 1902.
    On the appointed day, 13 Oct 1902, Louis signed an affidavit swearing that he had not filed upon a quantity of land which, with the tract he was applying for, would amount to more that 320 acres. He also signed a Non-Mineral Affidavit stating that there were no mineral deposits on the land. Louis signed two additional documents dated the same day, one of which was his testimony and the other was his cross-examination. Louis testified that he was age 47, a naturalized citizen residing ot P.O. Harrison, Idaho, and he had walked over the land he was purchasing on two occasions, in July and again in October. There were no improvements on the land, and it would be unfit for cultivation if the timber were removed because the land was on a steep slope to the East and the soil was rocky. The rockiness of the land made it unfit for cultivation. The land was more valuable for timber than for anything else. He estimated the value of the timber at about $1500. In his cross-examination, he stated that he was a citizen of Idaho and married and that he had resided in Wisconsin as a farmer before coming to Idaho. He had been a resident of Idaho since 1883 and had lived at Clark's fork on the Pend D'Oreille, and at Harrison for the previous 10 years working in the shingle mill at Harrison for the Eureka Shingle Company at $3.00 per day. He walked over the land on two occasions with his two witnesses and another man. His description of the land: "It slopes to the East to Marble Creek, and there are 2 or 3 draws through it and there is a small stream in one of the draws. The timber is mostly white pine. There is some fir and tamarack and some cedar post timber." In response to the question, "How many thousand feet of lumber, board measure, did you estimate that there is on this entire tract, and what is the stumpage value of the same?" "About one million and a half of timber. The value is about $1.00 per M" was his reply. In response to a question as to if he was a lumberman or woodsman and if not, how he arrived at his estimate, he replied that he had been in the woods quite a good deal and made his estimate to the best of his judgment. He planned to use the land for the benefit of himself and would probably log it himself. The best market for the timber was at Harrison. He paid for all the expenses of filing out of his own funds and expected to pay for the land with his own money, which he had earned and had had for about one year. He had kept a bank account at Harrison during the previous six months.
    His brother-in-law, Henry Norgard, was one of his witnesses and testified that he, Henry, was age 36 and resided at Harrison, Idaho. In his cross-examination, he stated that he was a blacksmith employed by the Cameron Lumber Company at Harrison, Idaho. He stated that he had known the applicant about seven years. His signature is on both documents
    A type-written letter in the file states that "the day set for the proof was October 13, 1902 and he did not appear for the submission of proof until October 20, 1902." The reason given was that one of the witnesses, Edwin S. Crane, was up in the mountains and did not get down to get a statement in time to reach the Land Office on the day set for the proof; that he (Louis) and his other witness were at the Land Office on the day set for the proof and were ready to submit the proof, but the other witness did not come on the boat as expected; so Louis and his witnesses appeared to submit testimony on this day of 20 Oct 1902. The letter contains the signature of Louis Stuve and "Subscribed and sworn to me this 20th day of October, 1902" with the Receiver's signature following.
    Edwin Crane's testimony and cross-examination, dated 20 Oct 1902, corroborates the testimoy of the other two.
    Document No. 1041, dated 20 Oct 1902, certifies that Louis, on that day, purchased the 160-acre tract for $400 at a rate of $2.50 per acre and was entitled to a Patent. A receipt for the $400 amount has additional notations that a $4 testimony fee was received for 1775 words at a rate of 22 1/2 cents per 100 words, and "$10.00 fees collected for filing and acting on application."
    The transaction was approved 20 Nov 1903 and Patented 4 Dec 1903; Recorded Vol. 10, page 192; Land Office at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
