Abstract
"A movement has been on foot for some time relative to the building of a canal and throwing open to settlement the big body of land fronting on the Columbia river in the northeastern part of Yakima county. There are 150,000 acres of the finest land in that part of the county belonging to the state, the federal government and the railroad company that only awaits a canal for development. The old Leadbetter canal was intended to cover this land but like many such institutions in the hard times the company that started the canal busted."
