This article about Matt Kjelstad appeared in the Ruralite in 1978.
He talked about coming to Ohop Valley, clearing the land, farming, the changes after WWI, and power coming to the area.

This was a very good read.
I enjoyed it too. I was toying with typing it into the blog, but was hoping it was clear enough to read.

I was wondering if you are the same Matt Kjelstad who attended Western Washington State College in the early 1960’s? Would like to hear back from you…..thanks.
Probably not. Was Matt in his 60s?
