tensive stock ranges, making shipments at Arlington from both sides of the Columbia river. I take the train, following the river, pass Umatilla to Wallula, where I change cars and go to Walla Walla, Washington.
After a pleasant sojourn here, renewing old acquaintances, I go on to that stirring and enterprising town of Pullman, where the State Agricultural College is located. I learned there were students in attendance, not only from their own state, but from other western states. Pullman has the advantage of not only the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, but the Northern Pacific Railroad as well, which makes it a leading commercial wheat shipping section for the Palouse country. The atmosphere is healthful, bright and clear, and the soil is of the richest black loam.
