Abstract
"Kennewick is four miles below the mouth of Yakima river and has tributary to it a stretch of rich farming and grazing land extending from the vicinity of Umatilla and Horse Heaven to Priest Rapids. A considerable number of settlers have located, western men who have the temerity to make homes in a district that to the eastern observer appears to be only a sandy barren covered with grease brush and artemesia but which proves under cultivation to yield prolific crops of alfalfa, Egyptian maize, common corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, melons etc."
