Colfax, the seat of Whitman County in southeastern Washington, sat in the rolling wheat country of the Palouse in 1910, and its fortunes rested on grain. Wheat grown on the surrounding hills moved by rail to market, and the town's mills, warehouses, and elevators handled much of that traffic. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company and later the Northern Pacific lines tied Colfax to Spokane and the Columbia River system, helping the population grow through the first decade of the new century. Courthouse politics, county fairs, and church and lodge life gave residents a steady civic routine, and many families who lived there in 1910 had arrived within the previous twenty years to farm or to work the railroad.
