HISTORY MOMENTS The Idaho State Historical Society reports that during this week in history: On March 2, 1962, the Post Register in Idaho Falls reported that construction of a multipurpose, fully integrated reclamation project on the lower Teton River—the Teton Dam—was feasible from both an engineering and economic standpoint according to the Bureau of Reclamation. The dam collapsed in June of 1976, immediately after construction. President Abraham Lincoln signed an act of Congress on March 4, 1863, establishing Idaho Territory. Territorial Governor Caleb Lyon took his oath of office on March 2, 1864—just two days before Idaho's first anniversary as a territory. However, he did not reach Lewiston and actually take office until August 8. By that time, Idaho was well past its eventful first year as a political commonwealth. C. Dewitt Smith arrived in Lewiston on March 2, 1865, and as acting governor began the process of moving the Capital to Boise. The "Star Spangled Banner" was adopted as the national anthem on March 3, 1931. By legislative act of March 3, 1905, the provision was made for a Capitol Building Board composed of the Governor, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer and two public-spirited citizens. It later became the Capitol Building Commission. The original appropriation for the building was $250,000; when completed in 1920, the building had cost $2,098,455.05 with another $130,833.10 spent on furnishings.
