Told by the Pioneers - Questionnaire - Transcript (part 16).

Abstract

"Hugh Wiley was one of the earliest hop growers in the valley and Wallace later had a large acreage of hops. He also was a dairyman and stockman. He hauled his butter to The Dalles in barrels, having packed it in four pound sacks immersing them in brine. A co-operative creamery was built in 1886, Wallace Wiley being one of the organizers. The little town of Yakima City grew up near the mouth of Ahtanum creek, starting with a store built by Mr. Barker in 1869. In 1870 he built a grist mill."
