Canyon going to attract lovers Of nature
from all parts of the world. Even the geysers
of the famous Yellowstone are not more re-
markable The finest exhibition of cataracts IS
furnished at The Thousand Springs, near the
little town of Hagerman, Idaho. between Salmon
Falls and the point where the Salmon River en-
ters from the south. The springs in countess
numbers issue from rocks far up the faces OF
nearly vertical precipices. The water does not
make the descent in a single leap but in a series
of cascades. 1t is lashed into foam By contact

fes description
number of side alcoves, or short, "olnd
canyons leadings off the main canyon, owe thelr
existence to great springs. These side canyons
receive no surface streams, and there is no
other explanation of their formation. Ihe
springs undermine the rock by removing the so1t
material on which it rests. The rock falls into
the spring and gradually sinks into its soft bed'
and thus the canyons are formed. Often the
undermining is on large a scale that the
falling rock becomes a landslide.
The water in the streams which the springs
form is intensely blue and clear. Some of them
are well stocked with trout, and on the edge or
a desert at that. The springs will be a factor in
the irrigation of this portion of Idaho when the
go vernment takes up work there
