TRIP TO GRAND FALLS, N. 3.
Hon. c. A. Miliiken Tells Of the River,
Its Falls and Its Water Power.

With the st. John river at an I'M
usually high freshet pitch, ii is worth
going quite q pilgrimage to see.
The st. John river has its rise about
200 miles above Grand Falls. and with
it's large tributaries. constitute a
mighty drainage system. as compared
with the Androscoggin. kenncbec and
PenoLscot.
At Van Eurcn. where the river is
more than 1900 feet wide, ii had a rise.
Saturday. Of about % feet. and tina.
With a siX-mile current. imagine that
volume of water plunging over Grand
FAILS, whose first pitch is 80 feet. and
continuous falls and rapids give 10
feet fall from the surface of the river
above to the eddy ut the foot Of the
gorge or canyon below.
The falls are more interesting from
their formation than Niagara, although
The descent is much less. The mar
rowing below of the gorge and the
sharp turns. forcing the water to boil
and surge, in working its way through,
make il a very interesting scene.
Grand is no misnomcr for the falls.

running so thick in the river these
days. Running when YOU so to bed,
running when you awake in the morn

50 many logs come from, you silently
question yourself.
Logs plunging over the falls, going
down into the scething mass to shoot

anywhere and everywhere like a school
of flying fish.
