A Ornat WaterfaM. A detachment of troupe rereully arontlng ia tbe valley of tbe Snake or Lewie Pork of tba Columbia, diaaoverad a waterfall which, it . acid, to entitled to tbe uisiinclion of be. iag called tba greatest in the world. The entire volume of Snake river poure over a sheer precipice one hundred aad uioeiy-eight
feet high, birty feet higher than the Niagara,
tad tbe eeeeade to one eoiid sheet o- body.
Tba locality of thia immense waterfall ie
.ear tha point heretofore deaignated aa the
Great 8 loeboneer Salmon fa ie of that river,
but tbey have always bean enveloped in mystery. Almost a doaen yeara ago the writer pseaed along lh. Snake river road.
For two d.ya we heard the rearing of theae
fall., but learned no more respecting tlieut than if tb.y had been in tha moon. It wee
a.d that there were a aerie, of falle and
rapid., makmg a descent of seven hutidrud feet in seven miles, and the eound gave color to tbe report.
For hundred, of mile, serosa the great
plain Snake river flows through a cauonel
with vcrticsl ws lis hundreds ol feet high. It i. only at long intervals tbal salient point, are found by which tbe river e.a be reached. Tba rosd croseee from point to point of the
bend., only .pproaching close to the river where there is . chance to descend for wa tar. From theae facte vary few, if any, of
tbe tana of thousand of adventurer, that
croeeed the plains ever looked upon the
t falle. The late diecoverie. report be
eide the main cataract many other, ot lew beighth v.rying from twenty to fifty feet each. B.ar by. Soma day they will ba visited by tha tourist and plea. uro-.eck er, nd
