WALTER B. STEVENS’
BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTION.
A number of years ago Walter B.
Stevens, a correspondent of world
wide reputation, now secretary of the
World’s Fair, who was at that time
upon the staff of the Globe-Democrat,
contributed to his paper the following
beautiful description of the pictur
esque White river scenery:
“The Hudson has its palisades, so
has the White river palisades, higher
and more rugged, and it has other
features which the Hudson has not.
Steaming up the river the traveler
looks forward to a precipice which
drops squarely across the front. Not
until within a few boat lengths of this
wall can one tell whether the course
is to the left or right of it. First on
one side and then the other the cliffs
- UlUlItt ILIOj CIXO uiuuiicuuj vaucu
in the Ozark vernacular—rise sheer
from the water’s edge hundreds of
feet in height. In some places the
cap of the White river palisades is 100
feet of marble, glistening in the sun
light, the color changing gradually,
layer by layer, from a beautiful soft
grey at the top to a rich pink, where
it rests on the next stratum of this
marvelous structure. In other places
vegetable and mineral colorings have
given these precipices as many hues
as the summer girl’s shirt waist and
commingled them with Dolly Varden
ingenuity.
“You look down from the pilot
house upon the smoothly flowing
water transparent as glass, a stretch
of yellow gravel, clean and shiny,
bounds the chaunel line. Then comes
a fringe of green, a mass of narrow
but dense foliage. Above that towers
the beetling cliff to the blue sky line.
“Stratum upon stratum, layer upon
layer, the Supreme Architect has
piled these stones as if with square
and level. Everything in its place is
the way the scientist describes the
formation of the Ozark country.
There is none of the geological tilting
and tumbling and confusion seen in
the Rockies and most other moun
tainous regions. No volcano knocked
things end-way here. In the setting
parlor, as conditions changed, forma
tion was built upon formation and re
mained. The rushing of mighty wa
ters carved a tortuous way for the
White river of today. In their slowly
hardening state erosion wrought
many fantastic freaks with the ex
posed front of the strata. It gave
here the likeness of a castle, and there
the form of mighty battlements. It
dug caves, giant stairways and left
ledges and galleries. But the process
was gentle and geology was encour
aged to perform its most perfect
work. There is a deliberation and a
finish about these formations not seen
elsewhere.”

good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,
