From the Paper:

"As settlers began making Coeur D'Alene home during the 1800's, whites were the predominant race. After the discovery of gold and silver, immigrants of Irish, German, and Swedish decent settled the surrounding communities of towns such as; Coeur D'Alene, Kellogg, Wallace, and St. Maries. The mining industry flourished and along with mining, logging and ranching became trades of the settlers also. Currently, these communities are holding onto tradition, but transitioning into resort communities with a firm grip on the future for growth by providing business opportunity for industry to relocate to the 'Right to Work' state. In doing so, it's provided opportunity for building contractors in the construction trade to relocate to the pristine communities of North Idaho to seek their fortune, as Miners did in the 1800's. During this community's transition from the historical past to the future in terms of industry, we are facing substantial growth."
