Description | The Idaho Semi-Weekly Keystone played a significant role in the Wood River region's media landscape during its brief existence from 1884 to 1885. Originally founded as the Ketchum Keystone by H.E. Cook, it became a prominent voice in the area's mining community. Under the ownership of George J. Lewis and his brother Horace, the paper transitioned to semiweekly publication and adopted a Democratic stance. Despite George's lack of prior newspaper experience, the Keystone thrived, even producing a daily edition during the 1884 election season. Ownership changed hands multiple times, with Calvin C. Clawson eventually taking over and renaming it the Idaho Keystone. However, a devastating fire in 1885 ended Clawson and William A. Wheeler's involvement. George J. Lewis once again assumed control, resurrecting the paper as the Ketchum Keystone and expanding its reach with new equipment. The paper continued to advocate for Democratic principles until its eventual closure in 1899, leaving behind a legacy of journalistic integrity and community engagement.
