The scen ery includes much that is beautiful. Leaving Portland on one of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company’ s pala tial river steamers, (th e T. J. Potter being queen of river flyers) the ex cursionist is carried through its harbor where fly the flags of many nations. The twelve miles on the Willamette are quickly made, and, after saluting the government lighthouse, marking the junction of the two rivers, the boat swings into the Columbia for the trip down stream. The morning is clear (generally so from June until Septem b er), and a magnificent and inspiring sight meets the eye as the sweep around the bend is made— five snow capped peaks, Mount H ood, Mount Adams, Mount Saint H elen, Mount Ranier and Mount Jefferson, looming into view— a sight worth traveling thousands of miles to see. On down the picturesque river, past villages, sawmills, fishing fleets, salmon canner ies, perpendicular basaltic bluffs, and pretty side-hill farms, the boat pur sues its way. The majestic sweep of the river is awe-inspiring. Gradually the shores grow farther apart and, scarcely realizing that the five hours have been consumed in making the trip, the boat steams alongside the wharf at Astoria.
