Abstract
"The Yakima country was so new in the days it was first becoming known to the outside world --- the days of the cattlemen --- a kind of white dust, silvered and glowing with magic, had not yet been brushed from the tall sage. The cattlemen weren't interested in the fertility of the soil. Forage and water were sufficient. Shorter, darker sage was a sign to them of sterile soil and poor browsing. They fancied bunchgrass, and land, and open winters. They yearned for wide vistas, so they could look out and away with sun squinted eyes, across distances to basalt ribbed hills."
