| Title | Kettle Falls |
| Description | This is Kettle Falls of the Columbia, 41 miles below the Canadian border and 705 miles from the Pacific Ocean. In the background can be seen a point of the sharp, rock island, around which the river poured in a beautiful cascade of falls. Here for countless ages the Indians had come to smoke and dry the annual harvest of the Salmon run, and the voyageurs of the early fur trade made a wearisome portage. These falls were so named from the baskets the Indians used for fishing, called... The lower little Dalles before being inundated by the rising waters of the Columbia River building behind the Grand Coulee Dam. |
