Abstract
"In all Washington there is no handsomer country town than North Yakima; yet no longer ago than 1885 I drove across an absolutely desert country--startling the jack rabbits from an unbroken expanse of sage brush--where this town with its three or four thousand people now stands. Everything accomplished since in building homes and planting orchards and vineyards and hop fields has been made possibly solely by irrigation. The poplars and cottonwoods which shade the streets seem to be thirty or forty years old but not one of them dates further back than 1886."
