for the Upper Columbia region was
not entirely the result Of my short
sojoun last. year. It is of many
years standing. In the time of the
World War 1 was a guest of an old
pupil of mine in your vicinity. At
that time we were shut closely at
home on the farm and, there,
through five happy months, my
health was restored again. I have
long loved all the Yakima country
and often ran over to relatives to
recover from the effect Of fog and
dampness of Puget Sound, where,
until recently, I made my home.
