There was good grazing above the canal and cattle-raising was a profitable industry until the severe winter of 1888-89 when heavy snows caused such a loss owing to the scarcity of feed. With an eye to the future some of the settlers began raising hay along the river bottom. This successful venture was the beginning of development which was to attract thousands of settlers to the lower valley. In 1889 Walter N. Granger formed the Yakima Canal and Land Company which united later with the Northern Pacific. One day in the spring Mr. Granger drove through the lower valley, his mission being the selection of the canal site. He climbed Snipes' mountain to get a better view and it was then and there that he decided that a town should be founded, the center of fields and orchards to come. Out of this vision grew Sunnyside Canal and the town bearing that name which lies in the center of this beautiful valley."NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
