Highways and byways of the Pacific coast . d a clinging placein a dell among the rocks, and these forest hamletslooked very attractive and Swiss-like in their mountainenvironment. Perhaps the most pleasing of them isCascade Locks at a spot where the river breaks into afoaming tumult of rapids and the shores rise in greatrocky ranges on either side. The homes hide amongthe trees, and the land is a medley of steep hills andirregular hollows.
