IN recent issues of this paper, while
describing the overland trip via the

of one of the prizes in the grand tour

of what, to some, would be the most
delightful part of the entire journey to
the coast and return.

coast, will, after a long railroad jour-
ney, appreciate the ocean voyage
which can be secured in the through
transportation to the coast and return,
In connection with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company's steamship
foute.
Lazily rocking on oceans breast,
Something in common, old friend, have we;
Thou on a single seekst thy nest,
| to the waters look for rest,
] on the shore, thou on the sea.
Thus sings Bret Harte to a sea-guIl.
How many of lifes travellers, land
worn and weary. re-echo the song.
Rest aloOf from the ceaseless tramp of
lands affairs! Rest and luxurious
comfort on an ocean steamship No
hurry, no worry, no noise, no confusion

falling with the unceasing swell;
breathing the invigorating salt air of
the peaceful old Pacific? Where can

No railway in America presents the
variety of scenery that may be seen
on this line for $50 miles east of Port
land. The majestic Columbia river (the
Amazon of America) on one side, and
the wild and picturesque Cascade
mountains on the other, furnish a con-
tinued panorama Of the glories of
Fairyland. In this short distance there
are numerous wondrous cataracts.
CHIEF among them being Latourelle,
Bridal Veil, Multnomah Falls and
Horse Tail falls, ranging from 200 to
500 feet in height The view from the
train is magnificent beyond descrip-
ton or imagination, and only awaits
the artist and the poet to make 1t
famous as one of the worlds fairest
picture grounds.
