The boat will be taken tlirougn tne jjocks, a very interesting opera
tion, during which the Falls may be seen from the west side. A
landing will be made at Canemah, on the east side of the river,
whpre, if bound south, the traveler can board the train and continue
his journey. Otherwise a delightful walk of a mile along the river
bank brings him to Oregon City, where he can spend an hour at the
Falls and be in Portland again at ten A. M. ; One not caring to pass
through the Locks can take the train at half-past seven to Oregon
City and return as before.
A trip that no tourist should omit to make is to The Dalles by
water. The scenery

River is admitted to
be unexcelled by
that of any naviga

of it lies between

can be made by rail
