A story previously published in this blog concerns the Thompson Pass route.
Jim Kershner The Spokesman-Review
Plans were under way for an exciting new transportation development in the region: a highway over the Bitterroot Range connecting the Silver Valley (and Coeur d’Alene and Spokane) to Missoula and Kalispell, Mont.
Railroads already connected Spokane to Montana, but for the first time auto drivers would be able to leave Washington and head east across the Rockies.
Two roads were scheduled to be built in the summer of 1912. The first was to be “by way of Burke and Glidden Pass to Thompson Falls and then east.”
The second was “by way of Mullan and St. Regis,” which sounds like it might be parallel to the route of today’s Interstate 90.
The people in Wallace were already excited about the new possibilities. They were planning auto touring parties to Glacier Park and Yellowstone Park.

1965: Edward White became the first American to “walk” in space.

Buh-bye, Ganesha
Ganesha, the controversial sculpture by Spokane artist Rick Davis of an Indian deity, has vacated its yearlong spot at Sixth and Sherman in Coeur d’Alene.
On Friday, the elephant-headed idol gave way to a futuristic sculpture by local artist Jason Sanchez, called “Art and Soul,” heralding a new rotation of downtown public art.
In June 2011, a few Kootenai County protesters greeted the dedication of Ganesha and 13 other pieces of public art but failed to coax churches to oppose the statue.
News of the protest reached as far as India. The furor died down quickly. At the time, Democrat David Larsen quipped to former state Sen. Mary Lou Reed that the demonstrators were really partisan Republicans who objected to Hindus stealing their mascot.

Field reports: Auction to feature antlers seized from poachers
POACHING – Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife is giving people a chance to get a nice rack, even if they’re not hunters.
Nearly 1,000 antlers seized from poachers over the past decade are being sold in an online auction running through Tuesday.
Mike Cenci, the agency’s deputy chief of enforcement, says it’s a great opportunity for people to own trophy elk, deer and moose racks, but it also highlights that poaching is a serious problem in the state.
Proceeds will be used to fight poaching, including offering rewards to people who report poaching incidents that lead to convictions. Info: publicsurplus.com, search under Washington auctions.
