(Spe cial.) What is more fascinating than a waterfall in a quiet wood land nook, dashing down over a big rock and 50 or 100 feet below foaming In a. little mountain stream? Surely nothing could be more refreshing after a long tramp on a hot day. Weariness Is driven away by the very pound of the water before a full view of the charm ing sight is obtained. The feast of beauty on visiting one of the mountain wi-ter-falls repays the effort of X long jour . ny to any one who can in the least ap preciate the magnificence of nature. Hunting waterfalls with a camera is quite as much fun as hunting deer with a heavy rifle, especially if the lover of the outdoors does not particularly enjoy the slaughter of the pretty beasts of the forest, which Is the chief part of the latter sport. But whatever is the recrea tion which calls to the wild districts the inspiration on discovering a waterfall Is none the less lofty. , Throughout the woods and mountains of Southern Oregon are dozens of these . waterfalls1, and none more pleasing or varying in their form and size can be found the world over. Some of these falls, among them the most attractive, have been seen by but a few persons, .because of being located In out-of-the-way places. To the real naturalist the very isolation lends added enchantment and makes greater the enjoyment of see ing and perhaps photographing for the benefit of others, these exquisite scenes which nature has so lavishly scattered through the southern part of the state. Like the flowers which were born to blush unseen, there are waterfalls of in describable grandeur hidden away d n the recesses and deep canyons of the 'densely wooded mountains of Southern Oregon. That more artists of brush and canvas have not invaded this field is a wonder. Of course ail the waterfalls are not so hard to reach. -Many can be seen with out great effort, but whatever traveling -Is necessary, whether It be by stage, horseback or afoot, is well worth while. Coos. Douglas and Curry counties are particularly favored with waterfalls. In fact there is a chain of these falls through the mountains. They are In tli upper waters of the L'mpqua. Coos and Bogue rivers and the branches of the Coquillc and In the streams tributary to these main waterways. Some of these falls will doubtless one day be famous show places for tourists and visitors- and when one goes through the waterfalls district it seems a pity that at least some of this superb part of Oregon cannot be retained in its nat ural charm in the shape of a big state park. Instead of suffering the denudation of the woodman's ti. Yellowstone Park In its way la no more attractive than parts of this mountain region of Southern Oregon, with Its giant fir trees, luxuriant vegetation, deep canyons, sparkling streams and en trancing waterfalls. While the towering trers. It is true, must be cut for lumber, some of the tails perhaps harnessed for power, and mountain grades pulled down 'and cleared tor railroads, and all within a few years. TO.T.1.S ,TieOC any one who stays a week in these woods cannot help feeling that something should be saved to show future genera tions what Southern Oregon possessed before nature was forced to sacrifice her beauty at the white man's altar of prog ress and commercial development. Waterfalls, that Is real ones worth see ing, are not made to order and placed In a city park, like the concrete variety In the goldfish ponds of the formal garden. They must be In rugged places, else the stream of which they are a part would not have found it necessary to drop its coursH abruptly off a rocky ledge and form itself into a waterfall In order to push through to an outlet. Consequently to. find the most attractive of the water falls it is necessary sometimes to enter a rather rough country, and generally the wilder the ppot the more beautiful is the falls and the more elaborate the surrounding vegetation. If one is anywhere near a waterfall for which he is seeking he will find it by the noise. The roaring waters call him and serve as a - guide until the woods have been penetrated and the en chantment of the glaring scene Is upon him. Xo two waterfalls are ever exactly alike, but some are similar In general makeup and may to an extent be classi fied. The Southern Oregon falls are of a dozen different kinds, inspiring in their sight as many different emotions. There is the thin veillike falls, which quietly but constantly run over a rocky ledge; the stormy. turbulent ntpids, which are suggestive of danger to the boatman; the heavy volume of water which gushes out of a rock and tells of the vast power going to waste; the -long, grand sweep of water which Is awe-ln-splring In Its brilliancy, and the exqui site fanlike falls which spread out and glisten in the sunlight. Each one, when visited, seems more lovely than the last. One of these places which is easy of access Is known as Golden Falls, and Is located in Coos County. It la 14 miles above Alleghany, a settlement on the north fork of Coos River. The latter place Is reached daily by a boat from Coos Bay and soon a stage coach will be run from Alleghany to the falls for the accommodation of tourists. This i regarded as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the county and another In the same mountains and equally as fine Is called Silver Falla. ' In the Coast Range mountains, on the Coos Bay wagon road, there are. besides the scores of tiny cataracts, three large falls. One comes out of a stone as though from a pipe, another Is found still higher up the mountain and the third is near the summit. In sight of the wagon road, and is almost at the head waters of the Coqtiille River. The Brewster Valley country, at the foot of the Coast Range on the Coos County side, is the starting place for reaching the famous Lost Creek falls, on the north branch of the Coqullle River, about five miles from the wagon road, and so near to the county line that it may be claimed by both Douglas and Coos. Here the water sweeps down the incline of the mountain, strikes a base and then dashes over a ledge which forms the top of an enormous cava and splashes in the stream far below. n tha ujtia district- back Irani tha SUNDAY OREGONIAN, FORTLAXD, AUGUST 23. 1903. NELA.T3 COOS DOUiL.A.. CO. LINE, RACK, ROAD 'AND OSEACHEDONLVON FOOT. stage road and reached only on foot, are falls which are worth the trip. They are wide and thin, and a man standing under the ledge and behind the water can be seen as plainly as through glass. A big fir tree which has fallen diagon ally across the chasm adds to the pic turesque Ecene. Cavot Creek Falls. about 15 miles above Peel. In Douglas County, have not been seen by many persons excepting hunters and campers. The water takes a drop of 50 feet and presents a charm ing picture. The place called the "Narrows." on the North TJmpqua River, in Douglas County, is of the stormy type. The river banks come close together and the water rushes through between the rocky sides for a distance of 20 feet. About four miles below, at the mouth of the Little River, is another beautiful spot. The waters of the L'mpqua divide and flow on each side of a mass of rocks, and into one of these channels at direct right angles empties with much force the Little River, and the whole mass makes a gradual drop of BO feet. There Is a constant boiling, roaring and surg ing which holds the eye with a peculiar fascination. A famous waterfall of Douglas County, which has not been visited by many, is Wolfe Creek Falls, about' a mile and a half above where Wolfe Creek flows into the Little River. It is reached after leaving the stage by traveling 36 miles west over a horse trail into the lower mountains or the Cascade Range. The falls drop over SO feet. Mill Creek Falls. In Jackson County, near. Prospect, is another beauty. These are only a few of the 'many in spiring sights In Southern Oregon. There are the rapids' of the Rogue River. Pep per Creek Falls and many others of dif ferent sizes, besides the small ones along every mountain stream and road. In some places the water seeps out high above, spreads Itself over the rocky side of a mountain and comes together again at the bottom to feed one of the streams. These -little trickling streams, which only barely moisten the mountain sides and the big falls where great volumes of water pass every instant, are alike all beautiful, and one can look and look and still enjoy watching the ever-passing waters. To the angler these waterfalls Indi cate a good fishing place. There is also suggested the commer cial Bide of the falls. Water power suf ficient to run electric plants, factories' and streetcars for cities Is dashing away unbridled and unused and wasted only as these moving waters afford the beautiful to those who care to come and look. But what matter, thinks the seeker of waterfalls. Best let the factories burn fuel and make power and save some of these waterfalls and surrounding charms of nature. Politicians to Doff Stripes.

SELL FILBUSTER CRAFT tSeamer Goldsboro In Mobile Un " able to Reach Xew York. NE WTORK, Aug. 2!. The last chap ter of the steamship Goldsboro's career as a filibuster is nearing an end and in a few days the vessel will be sold to the highest bidder in the port of Mobile. Ala. The receiver for the bankrupt Export Shipping Company, which Alfred W. and F. G. Bailey, of this city, operated, has decided to sell the vessel for what he can get. The Goldsboro, upon reaching Mo bile from Puerto Cortez. Honduras, a few days ago. was found to be in such a leaky 'condition that she could not complete the voyage to New York. The cargo, consisting of arms and am munition, machinery, stores and many other things, suitable for the equipment of a colony the Bailey brothers intended to establish In Honduras, will be brought to New York and probably will be sold at public auction. It Is valued at $750,000. MONTANA TIMBER . BURNS Fire In Little Belt . Reserve Again Beyond Control. HELENA. Mont., Aug. 22.
