The cost of the development and the high elevation to which the water would need to be lifted proved to be too much for the promoters and nothing more was done with the project. We went from Mabton to Pasco on the NP railroad, then drove by team to Harrison's ranch near the foot of the rapids on the east side of the Columbia river. We were two days making the drive. Sleeping in the open we found ourselves covered with three or four inches of snow on the morning of the second day. This being the winter following the now famous 1894 high water we found considerable drift wood along the river bank form which could be collected logs, long enough but of irregular shapes and sizes to construct a raft on which we erected our two tents."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.
