, . 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.

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.
