one long to be remembered, the usua
heat of a summer afternoon being
tempered by a gentle breeze freighted
with the aroma of pine trees and
seasoned with salt sea air. 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.
