Abstract

"Our old ranch is part of the property purchased by Sam Hill as a setting for his big ranch home. When we came here this whole country side was covered with bunch grass on either side of the Columbia river. It was a beautiful sight to look up and down the river and see those acres of waving grass broken only by a waterhole here and there. That was the finest grazing ground God ever made. Now all that grass is gone and all that land is sown with wheat. Many a time I have looked out across the river and seen a band of antelope grazing there in the early days."
