Travelogue
JCmumdtMPbdim
There comea a time when
you have to move on
whether you want to or not,
so one morning we hitched
up Little Red and started
up the Washington coast.
Highway 101 follows the
shore of W ilia pa Boy for
sixty miles to the town of
South Bend.
As we approached South
Bend we could see a large
domed white building on
the hill behind the town,
and as we got closer it
looked like a miniature
Capitol building standing
guard over the town and
Willapa Bay. We decided to
stop here for lunch and
check out his pretty
building with the beautiful
setting.
The manager of the Boon-
dock Restaurant was a
friendly fellow and like to
talk about the old days
along the coast and this is
the story he told us: In the
1890's settlers had started
moving up the Washington
coast. In 1893 the people of
the fast growing boom town

of South Bend began to talk
about moving the county
seat of government from
Oysterville to their town,
South Bend won an election
to move the courthouse, but
Oysterville got an injun-
ction claiming massive
vote fraud.
"The way to get a county
seat is to go and take it"
read a headline in the South
Bend Journal on Feb. 10,
1893. The Sunday before a
group of South Bend
citizens anchored two
steamer in Oysterville
harbor, came ashore and
broke down the courthouse
door. Records and supplies
were loaded on the
steamers and taken to
South Bend where offices
were set up in a vacant
building.
In those days possession
was nine-tenths of the law
and county seat snatching
was already a practice that
had changed the center of
government in more than
one county in the west. The
judge, apparently not wan-
ting to tamper with an elec-
tion in which he had just
beaten the incumbent, set-
tled the matter for good in
favor of South Bend.
Fifteen years later the
fast growing town of
Raymond, five miles up the
road, was expressing in-
terest in getting the county
seat. South Bend again took

action to insure that they
kept possession of the cour-
thouse. They pledged to
help finance a courthouse
so stately and magnificent
that no one in Pacific Coun-
ty has seriously suggested
moving the county seat
since.
It is interesting to know
that the contract, signed by
the South Bend business
men who pledged $10,000.00
to the building fund,
mysteriously disappeared,
leaving the county to foot
the whole bill.
The courthouse is indeed
magnificent, but the editor
of the South Bend Journal
at that time called it the
"gilded palace of ex-
travagance".
Our next stop was the
Shoalwater Indian Reser-
vation to visit the museum
and buy some of the con-
troversial DMSO. At that
time the only legal place
you could buy DMSO
without a doctor's per-
scription was on a
Washington Indian Reser-
vation. The Indian told us
he was not selling DMSO as
a rheumatic pain killer but
as a degreaser. Can't say it
works either way because
we haven't used it yet
Our destination was the
Kenanna R.V. Park at
Grayland where we had
camped once before. When
we drove up Anna greeted
us with "where were you
when we visited Rusk?"
We had given them a Rusk
brochure, they must be all
over the U.S. by now, and
they had spent several
days in the Rusk Park in
Feb. 1979. We were sorry to
have missed them and
