Falls ice gorges would form in the narrows
and in few minutes it would be piled high
being backed by the gorge, ther swept away
with great rapidity, soon to form again. II
is sight really worth seeing. Some parties
visited here from Washington TO witness

well repaid 1t is hoped that the ice will
pass off without doing any material damage.
