Tho La Grande-Wal Iowa Lake, highway is always in good condition and the road to the Im naha Is generally In fair shape in the summer months. "Tho claims to fame of the Snake River canyon are fully authenticated by United States government reports. The federal geological survey reports a depth of 6748 feet from the top of He Devil mountain on the Idaho side and Bear mountain in Oregon. At one point the vertical drop of the de clevlty is more than a mile and a half. This Is, however, from but one side of the canyon. The width of the gorge at the top average about seven miles, as compared to ten at most places 1 in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. "All those who have visited the canyon of the Snake say it is one of the most awe-inspiring sights they have ever seen and ono that is never forgotten, t The breath-taking drops that fade away at one's very feet are entirely different from the perspec tive obtained from an airplane which pictures tiny map-like squares of the earth's surface.. The Immensity of the depths seems very real, indeed. A number of years ago when the Un ion Pacific was making a survey of this region a number of city-bred young men unused to the dizsy heights of this rugged country be came so nervous and highly strung on the trails along the canyon that they had to be assigned to moro pro saic Jobs. "Compared to the gay red and ochre tone of tho Grand canyon of the Colorado, the Snake river gorge Is an epitome of somberness. The firblddlng aspects of Its gray basalt and black lava rocks would have de lighted the brooding soul of Thomas Hardy and doubtless would have furnished an excellent setting for one of his novels had he ever Been it. The immensity of the declevlty. tho towering heights of Its pinnacles and the vapors that swlr about it and make aood photographs so- difficult reduce man and his vaunted works to Lilliputian dimensions. "Due to Its inaccessibility, the gorge remains In much tho samo condition as when It was beheld by the first white men. Thero aro no roads near it for several miles, and no sign boards or hot dog stands to mar Its pristine beauty, some or tho tew remaining mountain sheep In the the United Statos make their home in the crags surrounding the area, the deer hunting Is usually good in the smaller canyons that run into the larger and doeper gorge. "Several half-hearted efforts have been made to have the Hell's canyon country named a national park by the federal government, but nothing nas ever come or tnem. aomo Deueve that to make a .tourist center of the gorge would spoil much of Its native beauty. Many persons, however, are denied seeing this natural wonder be cause travel near it Is so difficult. The Mazamas of Portland are making a sldo trip to the canyon this sum mer from their camp In tho Wallowa mountains and It is believed that their excursion will create a greater Interest In Its Bcontc attractions. A proposed highway down Little Sheen creek from Joseph to tho Imnaha would mako the trip by automobile much easier. As it is now, the sight is denied to all except those who have the hardihood and time to make tho present difficult trip." THIS COUNTY TO GRADUATE TEN AT .
