CORROBORATION.

For mouths South Paris citizens have

of Doan's Kidney Pills by South Paris
residents. Would these prominent people

Yosemite's Waterwheels.

This season will see the opening to
the public of an American water specta.
Gle OF such extraordinary novelty and
beauty that its eventual world wide celeb.
rity seems an easy prophecy. The
Waterwheel Falls of the Yosemite
National Park have probably been seen
BY less than thousand persons, all told,
since their discovery by white men; no
doubt they were familiar sight to the
Indians who considered the Tuo'umne
Canyon one of the safest OF their fast
nesses.
The Tuolumne River IL one of the
finest of the many trout-hsunted streams
which flow from the snowy hollows of
the High Sierra. It sings and rOars by
turns its sinuous way from high places
down into and through the celebrated
Hetch Hetchy Valley to rest eventually
10 the Pacific. Its rush of several
thousand feet into the depths of the
Hetch Hetchy, which valley, by the way,
ito waters originally carved 10 the living
granite, constitutes one of the most re-
msrksble spectacles in the remarkable
Sierra.
The Tuolumne Canyon here IL wild
beyond description. The rivers bed
slsnts sharply for several miles. Rush.
Ing with gathering power, the stream
leaps over preoipioes and foams down
long, sharply tilted granite slops. Here
arc found the Waterwheels. The swift
current, strlcking rocky projections ~
ing across the granite slopes, rises afty
feet in mir and describes long sweeping
arcs Of foam before again joining the
rushing river. The spectacle 10 one
that fills the beholder no less with
sstonishment than with enthusiastic
admiration. The larger waterwheels
are extremely impressive.
The reason 20 few persons have seen
the Waterwheels 10 that the passage
down the Tuolumne Canyon 10 one of
extreme difficulty. The hardy campers
of the Sierra Club, who for years have
maintained . camp 1t Soda Springs IN
the Tuolumne Meadows, have been their
pricipal visitors; Il 10 they who have
made known their unique beauty 10 the
world. One motion picture only has
been msds OF them.
Last year tbe Department OF the To-
terlor built Q trail over the White Cas-.
cades ia the Tuolumue Canyon % far a.
the top OF tho Waterwheel Falls. Here
the fnnds we're EXHAUSTED, leaving the
most strenuous part OF the climb with
ont trail. The completion OF tho trail
past the Watsrwhsels and through tbs
entire canyon to the Hetch Hstohy
Valley Will b attempted this season.
