ing the waste that was upon this portion of their
Oregon.
And here, later. few of the harder settlers,
because none among the others wanted the land,
and it theirs for the asking, built them homes
and sought to wrest a living from the sandy soil.
Scorched and parched by the summer suns, with
thirst unquenched by the water of life, their crops
withered and died and famine was abroad in the
land. And then they knew that if they were to
live in their newfound homes their land must
have water; and hence came windmls and water
wheels which pumped floods of life-gving fluid
upon their acres-and Lo the desert bloomed as
the rose! And on the face of the wilderness
few scattering garden-spots arose like GASES in
the desert as significant tributes to the combined
strength of this wonderful soil and the allneces-
sary water
And from these scattered examples, far-sighted
men learned lesson. Assured of the rich re-
ward which this land returned with the caress of
the lifegiving waters, they led streams down
from the mountains in fumes and ditches carry
ing them high above the natural beds of the
streams from whose headwaters they had stolen
their flood. And down where the canons opened
out into broader plains they spread the water
broadcast over the land.
And thus and then came Yakima, Hood River,
Wenatchee, great farming and orcharding COM

For in this great Hanford

Wenatchee Valley could be
placed a few times over, and
that part of the Yakima which
is called the Yakima Valley
proper would not reach to all

Or lose myself in the continuous wilds
Where rolls the Oregon and hears sound

write of land that in the days of Bryant and
his Thanatopsis far beyond the pale OF the
sunset, at the extreme outer edge and jumping-of
place of the early nineteenth century universe;
land that so remote barren, uninhabited and
so far removed from the seat of civilization and
culture, that it cited by this poet the most
hopeless and uttermost region of the earth. And
for many years after the of the poet had de-
parted, continued to roll the Oregon through con-
tinuous wilds and hear sound save his own
dashings
But already had Lewis and Clarke and their
faithful band of pathfinders wendell their way
down the majestic stream to the Pacific, and soon
came other white men, only few at first; but
later tales of the wealth of the Oregon country
foated back the trail, the pioneers and
homeseekers came in numbers. And after count
less ages, the sounds of civilized human activity
mingled with the dashings of the Oregon at last.
But what of the great mid-river territory where
the mighty stream rolls between high banks of
glazing white sand and long level stretches of
desert and sage brush bear away to the distant
foothills? Here the early pioneers traversing the
land through necessity, passed on quickly, cursing

munities whose productiveness and fertility have
astonshed the world.
But lower down. where led these smaller
streams, was the valley of the great Columbia
River, Bryant's Oregon, and there was a stream
of mightier proportions and greater dignity than
to tumble through mountain canons and fall an
hundred feet in few miles journey. And along
its banks vast of lands as rich as those
OF the Yakima or Wenatchee, yet not within
reach of gravity ditch from some small tributary
of the greater Columbia. Above the rivers steep
banks, this land baked and parched and cried for
water, while within stones throw the majestic
stream poured millions of gallons of it away to the
The water there, but how was it to be
lifted to the bench lands above?
The mighty volume of the river, sweeping on
ward at terrific pace to the ocean, represented
vast latent power, almost tremendous enough, If
harnessed, to the factories of the nation. But
to attempt to control even portion of this power
no task for pygmies. Only men or giant nerve
and intelligence accomplish such manner of tasks
as this and SO it was years before it accom-
