One of these was Joseph Perrault, from Montreal, who went to California, Walla Walla, Lewiston, and finally to Boise, where he became assistant editor and part owner of the Statesman. Lafayette Cartee built the first sawmill and quartz mill at Rocky Bar, moved with his family to Boise in 1866, and was appointed the first surveyor general of Idaho Territory. Before the turn of the century, Grove Street was the finest principal residential street in the city with numerous elegant homes such as the former DeLamar Mansion (originally built by C.W. Moore) and the Lafayette Cartee home. Natural hot water was provided to the area by the Artesian Hot & Cold Water Company in 1891. In Idaho the Initial Point is located about 8 miles south of Kuna. It is a volcanic hill that was precisely located on April 19, 1867. Peter W. Bell used stellar observations to locate the point, by order of Lafayette Cartee, the first surveyor general of Idaho Territory. The Initial Point is marked with a small, round brass marker (about the size of a jam jar lid), and the hill is visible for miles around.

	Cartee married Mary Bell at Ceres, Pennsylvania, in 1855, and they had four children: Carrie (later Mrs. Fremont Wood), Ella, Ross, and Mary. After his wife's death in 1862 at The Dalles, Cartee came to Idaho. He erected the first sawmill at Rocky Bar in 1863, and attempted to bring in the first quartz mill, but the freight train was reportedly attacked by Indians and the mill was abandoned. He brought his family to Boise in 1866 and began construction of an impressive home on Grove Street. He was appointed Surveyor General in 1866, serving until about 1880. Cartee began his nursery work soon after moving to Boise, building the city's first greenhouse in 1871. For the next twenty years he imported trees, flowers, and shrubs from the Eastern United States and from China, India, and Japan. Bringing tender trees and plants to early Boise was a major and risky undertaking, as they could be shipped by rail only as far as Kelton, Utah, then had to be hauled by freight wagon. Cartee planted most of his twenty-four acres between Grove Street and the river, and grew enough fruit and vegetables to produce 30,000 cans a year in his cannery. His nursery and orchard were important sources of plants and trees for many Boise Valley growers between 1870 and 1890.

> The Bottle
In May of 1885 US Deputy Surveyor Lafayette Cartee set a post and marked two trees for the ¼ corner between Sections 26 and 35, Township 3 South, Range 4 East, near what is now the intersection of Divers Road and Porter Road east of Estacada. Then in record dated November 12, 1898 Mr. J. Henry Smith, Deputy County Surveyor, notes setting a 8"x 12"x 20" basalt rock over a bottle at this same corner after finding evidence of the original stake and stumps. At this corner in the summer of 2001 our Public Land Corner Restoration crew of Greg Radinovich and Ray Pike found the basalt rock and carefully referenced and removed it. Below the rock they found a, upside down, clear glass bottle, it was unbroken and had a cork in its top. Inside the bottle is a note signed by 11 witnesses to the placing of the bottle and rock. The note is folded over but some signatures, the location and the date of November 5, 1898 is clearly visible.

NAVIGABILITY AND PUBLIC USE:
CHARTING A COURSE UP THE SANDY RIVER
In this climate, Oregon's Land Board voted in June 2000 to initiate a navigability study of the Sandy - a river that was described by government surveyor Lafayette Cartee in 1854 as "not navigable for any kinds of boats or scarcely for canoes, it being very rapid and having sand bars which are constantly changing their positions."7 Most of the riparian owners have deeds that describe their property to the thread of the river, many paid per-acre prices that included the state-claimed submerged and submersible lands, and most or all have paid property taxes on those lands. Nevertheless, on February 2, 2001, DSL announced its preliminary finding that the Sandy River is navigable from its mouth at the Columbia River all the way to river mile 37.5.
In 1855, Lafayette Cartee, a surveyor for the United States Government, meandered both banks of the Sandy River from RM 0.0 to approximately 4.5. Although Cartee describes the Sandy River as "... not navigable for any kind of boats or scarcely for canoes, it being very rapid and having sand bars which are constantly changing their positions ..." he nonetheless believed that part of the waterway he surveyed met the requirements for a navigable stream pursuant to the instructions he was given.

LAFAYETTE CARTEE
December 2, 1823-September 2, 1891
Number 569 1981
Lafayette Cartee made several diverse, but important, contributions to the physical development and beauty of Boise. As Idaho Territory's first Surveyor General, he surveyed the public lands in Idaho and established the initial point for surveys at a spot near Boise at the intersection of the first parallel and first meridian. His avocation as a nurseryman resulted in the introduction of a wide variety of fruit trees, flowers, and shrubs to the Boise Valley.
Cartee was born December 2, 1823, in Syracuse, New York. He attended St. John's College in Cincinnati, Ohio, and taught mathematics there. He later returned to New York, then moved to Coudersport, Pennsylvania, where he was an architect and builder. In 1848, Cartee joined the rush to California; the following year moving to Oregon City where he opened an office as a surveyor and general engineer. One of his major jobs was superintendent and engineer of the construction in 1862 by the Oregon Steam Navigation Company of a railroad line along the Columbia River. He also served in the Oregon legislature, including two terms as speaker of the house.
Cartee married Mary Bell at Ceres, Pennsylvania, in 1855, and they had four children: Carrie (later Mrs. Fremont Wood), Ella, Ross, and Mary. After his wife's death in 1862 at The Dalles, Cartee came to Idaho. He erected the first sawmill at Rocky Bar in 1863, and attempted to bring in the first quartz mill, but the freight train was reportedly attacked by Indians and the mill was abandoned. He brought his family to Boise in 1866 and began construction of an impressive home on Grove Street. He was appointed Surveyor General in 1866, serving until about 1880. Cartee began his nursery work soon after moving to Boise, building the city's first greenhouse in 1871. For the next twenty years he imported trees, flowers, and shrubs from the Eastern United States and from China, India, and Japan. Bringing tender trees and plants to early Boise was a major and risky undertaking, as they could be shipped by rail only as far as Kelton, Utah, then had to be hauled by freight wagon. Cartee planted most of his twenty-four acres between Grove Street and the river, and grew enough fruit and vegetables to produce 30,000 cans a year in his cannery. His nursery and orchard were important sources of plants and trees for many Boise Valley growers between 1870 and 1890.
Lafayette Cartee, who possessed the seemingly contradictory titles of "General" and "father of the nursery business in Idaho," died in Boise on September 2, 1891.

Cartee married Mary Bell at Ceres, Pennsylvania, in 1855, and they had four children: Carrie (later Mrs. Fremont Wood), Ella, Ross, and Mary.
After his wife's death in 1862 at The Dalles, Cartee came to Idaho. He erected the first sawmill at Rocky Bar in 1863, and attempted to bring in the first quartz mill, but the freight train was reportedly attacked by Indians and the mill was abandoned. He brought his family to Boise in 1866 and began construction of an impressive home on Grove Street. He was appointed Surveyor General in 1866, serving until about 1880. Cartee began his nursery work soon after moving to Boise, building the city's first greenhouse in 1871. For the next twenty years he imported trees, flowers, and shrubs from the Eastern United States and from China, India, and Japan. Bringing tender trees and plants to early Boise was a major and risky undertaking, as they could be shipped by rail only as far as Kelton, Utah, then had to be hauled by freight wagon.

NAVIGABILITY AND PUBLIC USE:
CHARTING A COURSE UP THE SANDY RIVER
In this climate, Oregon's Land Board voted in June 2000 to initiate a navigability study of the Sandy - a river that was described by government surveyor Lafayette Cartee in 1854 as "not navigable for any kinds of boats or scarcely for canoes, it being very rapid and having sand bars which are constantly changing their positions."7 Most of the riparian owners have deeds that describe their property to the thread of the river, many paid per-acre prices that included the state-claimed submerged and submersible lands, and most or all have paid property taxes on those lands. Nevertheless, on February 2, 2001, DSL announced its preliminary finding that the Sandy River is navigable from its mouth at the Columbia River all the way to river mile 37.5.
In 1855, Lafayette Cartee, a surveyor for the United States Government, meandered both banks of the Sandy River from RM 0.0 to approximately 4.5. Although Cartee describes the Sandy River as "... not navigable for any kind of boats or scarcely for canoes, it being very rapid and having sand bars which are constantly changing their positions ..." he nonetheless believed that part of the waterway he surveyed met the requirements for a navigable stream pursuant to the instructions he was given.

December 2, 1823-September 2, 1891, Number 569 1981
Lafayette Cartee made several diverse, but important, contributions to the physical development and beauty of Boise. As Idaho Territory's first Surveyor General, he surveyed the public lands in Idaho and established the initial point for surveys at a spot near Boise at the intersection of the first parallel and first meridian. His avocation as a nurseryman resulted in the introduction of a wide variety of fruit trees, flowers, and shrubs to the Boise Valley.
Cartee was born December 2, 1823, in Syracuse, New York. He attended St. John's College in Cin
