SNoQUALMIE FALLS. We saw a
very well executed oil painting of
this beautiful cascade, at Crawford

deal of merit, for it is not only
truthful in its outline and prospec-
tive, but it is executed in the sub
dued style of coloring that has Civ
en- such fame to the works of Gil
bert Munger and Robert Weir.
