    Verso [vertical]:

    u.l. printed: MULTNOMAH FALLS. \\ Multnomah Falls, unquestionably the queen of all \ American cataracts. The stream rises out of Larch \ Mountain, the famous viewpoint of the Cascades, to which \ a trail is built. It has many falls along its picturesque \ course and the climax of its dashing is the smashing leap \ it makes for union with the Columbia. There are, in fact, \ two falls. The first has a perpendicular of 600 feet, and \ the waters pound into a circular basin with cannon like \ reverberations, course swiftly under a slenderly arched \ bridge only to drop again almost 70 feet nearly to the \ level of the Columbia.
