Winding its way south, thence swerving west, it accommodatingly acts as a separating line between Wfcshlugton and Oregon and, 1,400 miles from ijs source, near the little city of Astoria, , which claims to have been the first Aincrli- nn settlement on our 1'uciflc coast, loses itself in the Pacific ocean, carrying with It the drainage of an empire comprising a quarter of a million square mils*. Indian tribes are said to have suspected the existence of a great stream coming down off the continent a I divide towards the Pacific in tills northern region, but apparently it remained for the captain of a Boston trading vessel to discover it in 17SW. It obliglugly provides moisture which has transformed barren lands Into blossoming orchards of renown. The outstanding feature which has made this river far famed, however. Is its spectacular ftO-mile-long gorge, where it flows down a mighty corridor between a row of tiddly-shaped peaks on one side and a palisaded, basaltic wall, over which massive water falls drape their filmy forms on the other, producing one of the most strengelybeuutiful passageways ever sculptured by the hand of -nature.
