Abstract
"Horse Heaven comprises a region embracing several hundred thousand acres of land which lies very similar to the famous wheat lands about Centreville in eastern Oregon.... Up to the present year but few experiments had been made in farming in Horse Heaven, though it is now settling up tolerably fast and one gentleman has fall fallowed about 800 acres for wheat. The way to get there is to debark from the cars at Prosser and then take the direction given by one of Cummings & Durland's stage drivers--Geo. Steele, who says with reference to the stage road running up and down the Yakima Valley, 'that the end is the broad and easy way that leads to perdition--the other end goes to purgatory, but that straight and narrow road you see rising over the hill yonder goes to heaven--Horse Heaven."
