A reader recounts travel and homesteading around Irrigon and the Columbia River valley. He describes farms of 5 to 35 acres, hop and grape growing, irrigation canneries, and flood impacts from Pasco to Toppenish, with notes on weather, rain, and local communities including Hermiston, Wallowa County, and the Shin-taifees neighbors. The letter mentions land prices, crops, and the aftermath of a flood affecting stock, hay, and onions.
A 1934 death record from Yakima highlights former Wallowa county residents now living near Union Gap. Ed and Will Adair run a service station and garage in Enterprise, Myra Hartshort and family reside in the area, and Mrs Holbrook, an engineer’s wife, also lives nearby. The clipping notes 1933 ranch produce valued at 24 125 600 with fruit and melon crops leading. A clubbing offer for the Chief Tain is also mentioned.
Dear Friends: I am writing from Walle with a secret ambition to become the manager of a big hotel someday. The winter here is tough but I am getting along nicely and appreciate your support as I pursue this goal. Very sincerely, ROBERT H. HYATT.
