In Labradora River Descends More Than Two Thousand Feet. The interior of Labrador undoubtedly is the largest unexplored area on this contin- ent To the Grand River, whioh empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Hamilton Inlet, are the; Grand Falls, which, if everything is true about them that is reported, are the most stupendous falls in the world. They are only about 160 miles up the river, but only two white men have ever Been them. Mr. R. F. Holme, three years ago, went from England to visit the Grand Falls, He organized a little party to accompany him. inland, and arrived within 'about 50 miles of the falls, when he was compelled to return on account of the failure of his pro. visions, The Labrador Indians eay these fails are haunted, and they carefully avoid them, believing that they will die if they look upon them. The two white men who have seen them are Mr. Maolean, who, as he was ascending the river, in 1939, was stopped by the fails, and Mr. Kennedy, who over thirty years ago had charge of Hudson Bay post in Labrador. Mr. Holme says the height of the falls is not certainly known, but, in some reepocts there is little doubt that they are the greatest in the world. Though inner Labrador is so in. adequately known, we are aware that it is es vast tabla land whose limits are quite clearly defined. In the southeast the descent from the table land is (miteendden, and almost immediately after leaving the plateau a level is reached that is very little above that of the eea. The Grand falls are the place where the Grand river tumbles over tbo edge of this table land, and almost the whole of the great drop is effected in this one descent. Professor Hind gives the height of thief plateau as 2,240 feet. It has been estimated that the region et the foot of the falls is only 200 feet above sea level, and that, therefore, the waters of Grand River have a perpendicular descent of about two thousand feet.—Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine.
