Great Future For Wenatchee, A Great Inland City
Edward Furniss, traveling passenger agent for the Great Northern railway, visits Wenatchee and predicts the valley will become a great inland city similar to Spokane. He cites Wenatchee’s water power, fertile soil, wheat and fruit lands, mineral wealth, and a progressive population, noting the city as a prime distributing hub between Spokane and Portland. He recalls land bargains and praises Wenatchee as the state’s best advertised region with strong eastern inquiries.

Rivers Rise Rapidly East of Cascades Amid Snowmelt
The upper Columbia and its tributaries surge as warm weather east of the Cascades accelerates snowmelt. The Snake River at Lewiston and Weiser climbs about 7.6 feet in two days, placing the river roughly 12 feet above average and increasing Umatilla's Columbia rise to two feet. The Willamette also climbs a couple of feet amid heavy upper valley storms with muddy, rising waters approaching Front Street levels.
