THE ILLUSTRATED WEST SHORE.
PACIFIC COAST SCENERY.
275
THE West Shore presents several views of Pacific const scenery this
week that comparatively few tourists ever see. The one most accessible is
the Columbia river view given on page 278, which shows the big stream near
the mouth of the Little White Salmon river. The latter takes its rise from
the glaciers of Mount Adams, in Washington, and joins the Columbia nearly
opposite the mouth of Hood river, on the Oregon side. It is near the en
trance to the Columbia river wonderland, which so delights the soul of the
sightseer. The harmonious proportions of the scenery robs a picture of the
sublime grandeur that the scene itself inspires, for some of nature's most
grotesque and imposing handiwork is there displayed on a magnificent scale. .
Lake Ten-ie-ya is one of the most beautiful of the lesser features ot Cal
ifornia scenery. The public is familiar with the stupendous magnificence of
the famous Yosemite valley; every tourist visits that locality. But (lie rugged
country and the imperfect means of transportation in those high altitudes ol
the Sierra Nevadas discourage most people from the effort to explore more
fully the natural wonders hidden in the mountain fastnesses. About fifteen
miles east of Yosemite falls is the picturesque little lake shown on page 269
Lake Ten-ie-ya. It lies at a high altitude near the boundary line between
Mariposa and Tuolumne counties, and on the edge of the great Mono ba-
course the road keeps to the valleys as much as possible, but the rugged
character of the country brings many interesting natural features within the
view of the tourist. One of these i presented in the picture on this page
Kielh's spur in southern Idaho. The snake river there flows around a bold
point of rock several hundred feet toll. It is prominent feature of relief in
the valley.

sin This lake was not seen by white men till 1850, when a company of
troops pursued a band of predatory savage, to the beautiful valley and cap
tured their chief, Ten-ie-ya, after whom the lake was Mined. 1 he thievish
propensities of those Indians could no. be conquered by generous treatment,
and after numerous raids, captures and parole, the tribe was hnally broken up
completely and the treacherou, Ten-ie-ya was killed. There I, current a very

be situated at the fork, of McKay creek in the lllue mountain, norlhwr,, of
the city of Pendleton. If completed on the plan proposed it will make a lake
nearly the slu of a triangle, with each de two mile, in length, and will be
,00 feet in depth at the deepest paint. Thi, will be a very pretty little body
of water, and a, the location is ucrl for a summer resort, no doubt people
will (lock to its banks Irom Pendleton and Walla Walla ,0 spend the heated
season. Dual riding, fishing and hunting would furnish amusement for the
pleasure ,eek.rs. There will be two main ditches, one extending down the
ridge between McKay and llirth creek and the other to the east of MeKay
creek, heading the gulche. leading into Tutuwillow. Iloth will render much
land very productive, all tributary to Pendleton. Indeed, the relation of the
plan, of the Umatilla Irrigation company and the lllue Mountain Irrigation
4 Improvement company will be the making of Pendleton.
