The spirit of this rule is to this effect: that the bird shall attain an elevation of not less than 4 feet within 10 yards from the trap. D. If the shooter's gun, being properly loaded and cocked, does not go off through any cause whatever, except through the fault of the shooter. E. If a pigeon is thrown so that to shoot in proper time it would endanger life or property.

ANY INFORMATION .RELATIVE TO LOCALITIES FOR HUNTING, OR INFORMATION IN REGARD TO THE UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM, CALL ON OR ADDRESS ANY GENERAL OR TRAVELING AGENT OF THIS COMPANY. A FEW OF THE MANY PLEASURE RESORTS ON THE LINE OF THE UNION PACIKIC, ''THE OVERLJIJSD ROUTE." A. Trip Down the Columbia River. At "The Dalles" Station, Oregon, the tourist may leave the train and take the steamer down the Columbia for Portland. It is eighty-eight miles by rail to the city and about 110 miles by river. The day's run down this lordly stream is a never-to-be-forgotten experience. From " The Dalles" Station the noble river, surging and whirling to the sea, breaking the image rocks into wave fragments, occupies the mind of the be- holder. The Columbia is one of the world's great rivers, affording a waterway that is navigable for traffic for over 1200 miles. Upon it, for 100 miles from its mouth, the largest ocean steamers ply with safety, It is Oregon's artery, throb- bing with trade. Its largest tributary is the Willamette, draining the valley of the same name, and being navigable for vessels of any size to Portland, and for light river boats for over 150 miles further. There can be nothing more in- spiring than the ride from "The Dalles" down the gorge of the Columbia- through the Cascade Mountains, with the shining river on one side and the tow- ering battlements of the shore on the other. The scene is one of continued magnificence. The grottoes, in which are moss-garlanded cascades almost hidden under the dense foliage, are most inviting and beautiful. Twelve miles from "The Dalles" we pass Memaloose Isle, the ancient burial place of the Chinook Indians. A tall, white shaft springs from the rocky bosom of the island, marking the last resting place of Victor Trevet, one of 6regon"s- eccentric pioneers, and a firm friend of the Indians. In deference to his oft- repeated request during his lifetime, his remains were brought from San Fran- cisco, where he died, and placed among his red brethren on the "Isle of the Dead," as Memaloose signifies in the Chinook language. The gorge proper of the Cascade Mountains, through which the Columbia flows, is reached about twenty miles down from "The Dalles." the hills near that station being rather low, but for the next thirty miles the panorama is a- perpetually shifting and shining splendor. The Cascades are fifty miles from "The Dalles." The river-bed is filled with gigantic boulders and huge mis- shapen stones, and for six miles the mighty stream lashes itself into a fury over these obstructions. The Indian legend is to the effect that once there was a bridge across the river here, formed by nature, and that Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams quarreled and threw stories at one other, and that in this conflict of giants the bridge was destroyed. We leave the steamer at the upper Cascade and make the portage of six miles by narrow-gauge railwaj', re-embarking at the lower Cascade where the Portland "boat is in waiting. This second section of the Upper Columbia is magnificent beyond description. Attention is called to the beautiful islands above the Cascades and to Wind Mountain, a bare peak which seems to haA'e been stripped of every particle of grass, shrub, or tree. There are scores of small falls lining the river: "Horse Tail" first we meet: then "Multnomah," the beautiful, a slender veil of spray falling 850 feet perpendicularly from the cliff above— a delicious bit of fairyland: then "Bridal Veil" and'"Oneonta," all clear and dashing, and banked' by a wealth of moss. The lofty summits over which they pour are reproduced in the river, .and made doubly impressive. For miles upon miles this wild scenery con- tinues, and a thousand times the tourist thinks the climax has been reached, only to acknowledge later that something grander has developed. Just below Oneonta Falls there is a beautiful glen. It is inaccessible even ta the most venturesome climber, and nestles there securely under solemn crags ; j!^ F"E:^?^^ of" the imany pleasure; resorts ON THE LINE OP THE UNION PACIFIC, The Overland Route. "but the charm is in the coloring— the air has a peculiar glowing blue tint, a misty web of beauty, caught, perhaps, from sky and river reflected there. Next comes "Castle Rock," rising 1000 feet sheer from the water's edge; "Rooster Rock," a bold and impressive pinnacle anchored amid stream; "Cape Horn," towering up 500 feet, and those twin shafts, massive and grand, the "Pillars of Hercules." Along the River Rhine, the Rhone, or the Hudson, there is nothing that vpill compare with the stately palisades of the Columbia, with their cool recesses, kept sunless by the overhanging rocks, and watered by the melting snows of their own summits. From the mouth of the Willamette a splendid view can be had of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Ranier, where the scenery surpasses anything of its kind in the world. From Hood River Station above the Cascades the traveler will find good stages to convey him over an excellent road to the base of Mt. Hood, twenty-five miles distant. The view from Mt. Hood is simply incomparable, and the trip from Hood River Station to Mt. Hood is made through some of the most extraordinary scenery in the world. And next, Fort Vancouver, eighteen miles from Portland, is passed, a post well known in history, where Grant and Sheriden were once stationed. Six miles below the fort the Willamette swells the Columbia, and twelve miles up this lovely river brings us just at nightfall to the light and warmth and comfort of cheery' Portland. Ttie Gi-ent Shoshone Palls of the Siial<:e River, These falls are readily reached by a stage ride of twenty-five miles from Shoshone Station, on the* Union Pacific. The tourist takes this ride in a stage or by private conveyance. The road is good and across a desert that is no pretense. No streams or springs gladden its barren surface, broken only by grassless knolls and blocks of lava, over which the horses fairly fly, the downward impulse of one hill carrying them up the next. The question is" often asked, where all the lava over which the stage rolls comes from, as there are no volcanic mountains for hundreds of miles. The whole area was once a sim- mering mass, that, being submerged, resulted in many curious fractures, into some of which an article dropped will go clinking from side to side until the noise dies away, apparently without bottom being reached. It is in such a crevice that the Lost River disappears never to be seen again. The Snake River is indicated by no sign, when all at once from the edge of a vast chasm, smooth between stupendous walls, it is seen flowing hundreds of feet below. What power has wrought this sculpture? It does not seem i>ossible that water, even in untold ages, could work into the lava and granite, leaving the pillared heights to testify to its work. The roar of the falls is heard, and, picking its way down the slope, the four-in-hand pauses within earshot of the solemn music, and the baptism of the spray. Having arrived in the evening, it is well to rest in a luxurious bed and await the revelation of sunlight. It comes like a gleam of intelligence, passing over the mighty cafion. The walls, rising hundreds of feet, catch the glint before it reaches the bottom of the gorge and river, and from height to height the beams of the morning flash sig- nals. There are no mountains by which to judge altitude, but a drop out of the world seems to be taken. The overwhelming massiveness of the gorge bafiles all eye-measure of the stupendous rift, out of which a climb would be impossible. The close-pressing lava towers as somber as a prison house. After breakfast a boat is found in the little willow-fringed bayou and launched upon the open river — which here broadens to a lake — but silent, stern, and powerful tlie current sweeps along. That cloud of steam ahead rises from Shoshone Falls, and that ceaseless clamor is the great voice of its waters. There A. ^^E^?v OF^ the: niany pleasure: re-sorts ON THE LINE OF THE UNION PACIFIC, The Oveeland Route. is an easy trail upon landing, which leads through a border of fir, and a rest is taken upon Point Lookout. Just then the sun breaks forth in renewed radiance, and from cliff to cliff there springs a bow as perfect as ever made glorious in the heavens— an arc of beauteous coloring against a background of glittering, beadlike foam tumbling in crystal chaos 220 feet, the circling halo losing its bases in the turmoil and the mist, with an unbroken crescent above. The rock foothold quivers, a. gentle bath dews the uncovered head, while the spirit soars as lofty as the illumined spray. There is a spell like that of a. nameless melody in the awfulness of the irresistible plunge. Niagara is- different, but not superior. Where Niagara is calm, Shoshone is tempestuous ; where Niagara pours over evenly, Shoshone bursts into a million wild jets, each with a diamond's luster; where Niagara is environed by common-place landscapes, Shoshone dashes from between rocks nearly a thousand feet high, stately and time-stained, and its surroundings are weird and supernatural. Seven distinct channels are to be seen forming a number of brilliant falls, be- fore the final grand reunion of the waters, and so united, over they go, to be lost in the swirl of a terrible surge, to riot in aii infuriate whirlpool, and to rise soft as the feather of a bird and be touched by the sun to splendor. Garfield JBeaah. Garfield Beach is eighteen miles from Salt Lake City, on the shores of the Great Salt Lake, and is reached from Salt Lake City by the Utah & Nevada Di- vision of the Union Pacific. During the season, trains run back and forth at frequent intervals during the day and evening. It is the only real sand beach on the lake, and is considered by many to be the finest in the world. It should be, and will be, the great resort of the continent. Great Salt Lake is not a sullen, listless sheet of water, beating idly on the shores, barren and repel- lent; but, on the contrary, it is as beautiful a sheet of water as can be found anywhere. The waves are a bright blue or green, and as they dance on its- surface it would be hard to tell which color prevails. The water supports- no life. Its constant sinking and rising is only one of its many curious phases. The sensation upon entering the water is novel and congenial. In the long, sunny days of June, July, August and September, the water becomes delight- fully warm, much warmer than the ocean. It is 21 per cent salt, while the ocean is only 3 per cent. The water is so dense that a person is sustained on its surface indefinitely without effort. Experience has proven its great hygienic effects. Owing to the stimulating effect of the brine upon the skin, or the saline air upon the lungs, or both together, the appetite is stimulated, and after a. bath, bathers are ready for a hearty meal. The baths are extremely invigorat- ing. If there is any abrasion upon the skin it will smart for an instant when it touches the brine, but after the bath the smarting is gone never to return; and after rinsing off in fresh water, provided in every bath-room, there is a sense of cleanliness more perfect than any other bath can produce. A fine bath house accommodating 400 people has been erected at Garfield Beach, in connection with which there is a first-class restaurant, and a large dancing-pavilion built out into the lake, all of which are run under the supervision of the Union Pa- cific, At the restaurant excellent meals can be had during the entire season. The buildings at Garfield Beach are modern, have every convenience, and were erected at a great cost. It is proposed to erect a large hotel on the beach, although the ready access which is had to and from the Salt Lake City hotels has heretofore rendered a hotel at Garfield Beach unnecessary. The view from the pavilion at Garfield Beach is one of surpassing loveliness. The mountains. on the shore form a fine background to the rippling waters on the lake, which stretch out on either hand before the beholder, dancing in the sunlight, some- times a beautifulblue, and at other times green, with three or four of the largest islands in full view, which, in the distance, have a peculiar purplish hue.
