Few OregonJans realize the beauty of the Columbia Rlyer scenery in the "Winter season. If they did there would be fully as much travel up the river now as there is In the Summer. At present the
mountainous banks of Washington and Oregon are white with many snows, and the view from the river steamers, is Indescribably beautiful. The towering, snow-covered banks on either side are re
lieved near their bases by the green of the fir forests, while frequently the patches of snow are again visible between these forests and the water's edge. The unusual scene is well worth a trip up the
river, and in order to get the full benefit of both shores, one way at least should be traveled by boat. One gets the better light on the snows going up by boat.
The accompanying picture was taken by F. A. Routledgc, of The Oregonlan, from Cape Horn. Mr. Routledge Is most enthusiastic about the unusual beauty of the river scenery at present.
