Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1886-08-21

If you want an exciting trip to drive
dull care away, just take light boat and
run over the long series ofrapids between
here and the Black Eagle falls, l took
in that trip the other day with a friend.
We started above the dam and before we
reached the falls were astonished to find
how often the rapids occurred. we rush
ed over them with lightning rapidity eX-
pecting every minute to strike some pro
jecting rock It was exciting, but We
knew that we could get to shore if the
boat did smash What a queer sensation
one experiences as he approaches a
great cataract, a ride over which is sure
death. He feels as though something
was giving was beneath his feet. One
feels about as he does when dreaming that
he is falling off from a six story house.
But we were fortunate enough to strike
shore Just where we wanted to and there
by saved the county from an irreparable
loss. From the lofty banks at the falls
it looks as though person could slide
over them without injury, but when we
came. to the bring and heard the roar
which sounded like the signal of approach
ing death, we concluded to call a halt.
We found shallow place near the north
bank, and let down our boat over it and
proceeded thence to the springs. Very
few have seen the giant spring above
those which are now fenced in. Abouta a
hundred rods above the great moonlight
resort are springs bursting up from the
middle of the river. They are in strength
and beauty, like the others. Their power
can be realized from the fact that they
stay the current of the rapid river and
maintain their individuality throughout
their whole extent.
