Mich., Republican.) , . PART TWO.' Often the rocks form a solid wall on either side for miles with here and there solitary pine tree springing oat from the crevices with apparently no nourish ment for its roots. The aides of the mountains are rugged and percipitous, relieved her and there by a tumbling water fall or a dancing . cascade. . Oft times we look back and the mountains have seemingly hedged in the path by which, we have come. - Soon we hear the rapids where the river has narrowed for two hundred feet.- - Here the water, dashiug and rushing over and between the cruel looking rocks, forms a seething whirlpool through which it seems sui cidal to think of passing. But with our careful captain at the . helm we- glide safely through the narrow channel, five miles in length, and reach the cascades, where there is a fall in the river of forty feet and the' water is foaming and splash ing in a mad tumble over the rocks. Tbe . Dalles City stops -here, as no boat could stem this rushing current, and the passengers and freight are carried around the shore on a queer little rail way, the distauce of one mile, -where the steamer Regulator - is puffing at the wharf eager to be gone. Immense locks are now being constructed at this point. When completed they will be of great benefit as the inland products of Oregon, Idaho and Washington can then be readily carried, to every seaport under the sun. Such , an interesting legend of the cascades was told me by the captain, I cannot refrain from mentioning it. Long ago in the remote ages, there was a natural bridge across the river. : It was built for the red man by the Great Spirit and was very beautiful. ' It was like an arch on which grew trees and lovely . flowers.' Under it the river flowed calm and serene. The two giants, Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood, many mile? apart, sat ever scowling at each other. At last they had a terrible quarrel which resulted in a battle lasting many days. It thundered and lightened; immense rocks and boulders were thrown at each other and the air was filled .with smoke. When at last the thundering ceased and tbe smoke cleared away, the red men returned but the beautiful bridge was gone and in its place the river was filled for many miles with the huge locks over which the water was tumbling, tossing and surging in mad fury. And so it has been since then, wrathful and danger ous. Scientists agree that there must have been at one time a volcanic dis turbance but it is to tbe Indians we trace this pretty legend. We are again favored with a seat in the pilot house of the Regulator, and the voyage is resumed with an interest equal to that of the trip below the cas cades. Soon we are enjoying an unin terapted view of Mt. Hood. It rises white and glittering from a broad plain. In. the foreground is the river and the stately pine trees ; on either side the "everlasting hills," georgeous in 'their dress of crimson and gold. We are in sight of the icy peak for many miles, so white and perfect against the blue sky. Just at sunset, stopping to take on some freight, we discover an Indian camp near the shore." In the dying light the laces of,the Indians look dark., and sav age. , They are crouching in Indian fashion on the grass under the willow trees, lazily awaiting the arrival of the a teamen We are naturally anxious to investigate the .camp- and ask .'them if they have any curios for .sale, But evi dently ..they are not posted a9 to the wants, of the average jtoarist and gaze at us in blank astonishment. - - - , ,vi The moon appears over the hills, a a rein of silver, but very soon round and full, almost: dasxling in its brilliancy. The river was enchanting in ' the son light bnt in the soft,' mellow, dreamy moonlight there was an added charm that no pen could portray. As we near Memaloose Island, not yet discernible in, the dim light, tbe captain standing at the wheel ' guiding the boat over the tranquil waters, tells us we will soon pass one of the most noted Indian burial grounds along the river. The Indians wrapped ' their dead . in rawhide, laid them on the ground and built low, wooden houses over them, calling them dead bouses. Here on Memaloose island many of these houses yet remain, many also have been destroyed, and hundreds of Indian bones lie bleaching In the sun. As the lights in the city of The. Dalles glisten in the distance, we realise that our ' pleasant journey is nearly over, This beautiful riyerwith its waters a deep green like the sea, so deep in many places, that tbe bottom has never been touched, has often been compared to the Hudson, with its hundreds of pic turesque villas on every hand, bnt it' is entirely different. It is more imposing, more rugged, and fills one' with . a sense of giant strength in repose. The Rhine and Rhone have been cited. There are no castles, no vineyards, , no - carefully planned effects on tbe Columbia; noth ing made to order. All is as fresh, as free, as natural as when first this mighty flood sprang through those frowning mountain nights . and found its .-way to the sea. But the little steamer touches the dock, we say goodbye to our genial captain, and our charming ride on the Columbia river is a dream of the past. A. L. 8. THS MISBINO HOT. Hie Dlurpnnnw Shroaded oy u Air of Mystery. The boy missing from the farm of Mr. Jacob McReynoIds, on 15-Mile, mention of which was made in Thk Chronicle yesterday, la still missing, and his .'ab sence is shrouded in mystery. - Eight men have hunted for him almost con tinuously, day and night, since Satur day: Mr. McReynoIds came to tbe city last night, hoping to find some trace of him, here, but was unsuccessful. It seems that he left the house Saturday in the forenoon, about ten o'clock, instead of the evening of Saturday, , as reported yesterday. He found three of the . cows he was hunting for which he drove up to the -corral, and returned 'for a fourth one. He was riding agentle pony, with out saddle. The pony was found in a gulch Sunday, with the -bridle still on. Tracks of the boy were found in the soft ground of the . same gulch about 100 yards from the pony, on Sunday, lead ing to hard ground on ' a ridge, where they could not be followed, any farther. The boy appeared to be well satisfied with his place at Mr. Mc Reynold's home, and was well cared for and liked by all the household. He was kind in dispo sition, and showed no inclination to be "tricky." His name is Geo. Crowell. He is 16 years of age. . He said he came from Colville, where his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain live. He said his parents were both dead. The whole neighborhood about Mr. McRey nold's place are interested in the search for him, and any. tidings concerning him will be gladly welcomed. Practical Kd mention. Mr. R. L. Warner, a Portland boy, who graduated at Cornell university last summer, is at 'present engaged with the Westingbouse Electric company, as an expert electrical engineer, and is tem porarily located at Jersey city, employed in the construction of an electric ' rail way. ' He is looking forward with pleas ure to returning to Oregon before a great while. Jta a recent letter he says:. "I find that the shop training and practi cal work at Sibley . college . place me ahead of men who have been in this business for some , years, and I realize more than ever the keen foresight and magnanimity of Ezra Cornell and Hiram Sibley in building a technical .school where the band and the eye should le trained to act in unison with the brain, where practical methods of thought and systematic investigation of fundamental truths should be the main object' of the work." .

Many a thrilling tale has been told by travelers of a race with wolves across the frozen steppes of Kussia. Some times only the picked bones of the hap less traveler are found to tell the tale. In our own country thousands are en gaged ' in a life-an'd-death race against the' wolf consumption. The best weapon with which to fight the foe is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.- This renown ed remedy ban . cured myriads' " of, cases when all other medicines and doc tors had failed. It is the greatest .blood- - purifier and restorer of Btrength known in the world. For all forms of scrofulous affections (and consumption- is one of them), it is nnequaled as a remedy.
