We must now retrace our steps to The Dulles,
and crossing the Columbia Hlver, make our way
northward by stage through the counties of Klick
itat and Yakima In Washington Territory.
Kvery where, as We Journey on anil on, the eye le
' holds the same Illimitable,-undulating expansion
of area that has characterized these entire journey

scale. Middle ..Washington, like Middle Oregon,
is a vast and comparatively treeless upland,
abounding In auerior grazing and grain facilities,
and offering virgin homes by thousands to those
..who will come and possess them, Her mountain

can test to his satisfaction who will trust them I
with orchanls or vlneyanlLwitha3opdresslng

earth and atmosphere till they shall have taken'
