The drive up to his main ranch l 'rather stee. bet the Tlew Is grand from the hlUa. and rr.och of tho lead la In cultivation. Around the home ranch 'twere la mock wheat sown, and the land yields well dear to the hilltops, al "thouirh the eievatloa must bo axond -tw feet. The sown irrain was com ix up aleely, and the prepared abound showed a careful preparation. Mr. Donnelly la principally In the limp buatnesa, and he la one of the hmi who has made good. From his ranch we practically drove over his land down to Richmond, three or four miles farther south, and when wo ar " rived at Richmond and be ran to make Inquiries, we found that the tewn wa built on his land, or. rather, ho platted the townatte. Richmond lie practically tn the eon ltf of the county, and was aa aspirant for tho county seat. In fact, we sur mise Mr. Donnelly platted It with that prospect In view. Richmond t a small i place. There ls a rood store there, a branch of the Wheeler Trading Com. ' pany. the headquarters of which are at Mitchell. They carry a large stock and do a roo4 business la both places. There te no hotel there, but we found very mnfortablo quarters with Mrs. Oeorre Potter, and there Is a jrood feed barn where we put up the team.

' It Is an eld town, for many years be lor one of the principal ttopplnr places mo the road from The Dalles to Canyon 'City to all of Grant County. In fact, 'it la said the first settler was William Cranston, who started a store In 1ST. and hta stock In trade consisted chiefly of a barrel of whisky and a box of to baoco.
