Abstract
"The Indians of this region, unlike the natives of Arizona and New Mexico, did not practice irrigation until they were taught to do so by the missionaries. Marcus Whitman seems to have been the pioneer in the introduction of irrigation. Whitman planted an orchard and a garden and dug a ditch to bring water to them. The Indians noted that Whitman's garden did better than theirs and asked him to let them draw water from his ditch. When he refused, they dug ditches of their own and stopped up his."
