On Portland Heights Street Car Line C. Admission 10 Cents.

The view from the top of the Observatory, at an elevation of about 1.000 feet above the city, is grand beyond description. It is a summit point commanding the great snow peaks of the Cascade Mountain Range, and the beautiful valleys of the Columbia and the Willamette spread out in grand panorama, with both rivers showing here and there like bands of silver. This is also the best point to see the cities of Portland, Vancouver arid Oregon City, and the numerous small towns in this vicinity. The City of Portland cannot be seen from Council Crest owing to its location back in the hills about one mile south from the Observatory. While Council Crest is about 150 feet higher than the Tower, it does not command the grand view seen from the Observatory, which has an elevation of 105 feet above the ground. The view changes according to the time, and visitors should see the Morning. Sunset and Night Views before leaving the city. Half way up the Tower is a Cafe where first-class light refreshments, ice cream, etc., will be served. From this elevation the view Is practically as good as at the top.
