The lack of rain in the valley compelled the farmers to resort to irrigation projects. The irrigation projects gave rise to yearly scourges of typhoid fever; these yearly epidemics in their turn gave rise to the demand for a hospital. The Sisters of Providence already installed in Yakima were requested, in 1891, to open one because of the increased danger resulting from the epidemics in the surrounding country."NO COPYRIGHT - UNITED STATES The organization that has made the Item available believes that the Item is in the Public Domain under the laws of the United States, but a determination was not made as to its copyright status under the copyright laws of other countries.
