The Grand Canyon of Santa Helena Santa Helena, Cutting the sky, Torn by the river, Lashed by ihe wind, Sculptured and painted By God, With lvis tools Of wuter and wind. 11E Grand Canyon ol Santa Helena lias a rugged JL beauty, although in miniature; it may well be compared to that of the Grand Canyon of the Yellow¬ stone. The same effect oi sheer, ragged chasm is achieved against the sky; the same ruggedness is here, with shadowed lights and sunlit colorings that are exquisite in their mingled tones. Here the turbulent Rio Grande, at some long past time, has cut its way from the Mexican side, through the rocky range, to flow peacefully down the yellow sands of the Texas shore. Huge rocks have fallen within the canyon, to dam the waters, to form dripping cascades, purling whirl-pools, and rippling falls. Cool and shadowy caves have been made by tilted and piled rocks, where beavers and wild fowl sport and play. High above, where the walls touch the sky, eagles swoop and call. A short way from the canyon opening, on the Texas side, is the hut of Santa Helena, the one-time home of bandits and cattle rustlers. And here, in one remembered battle, fifteen men bit the dust of death. But the calm and ancient canyon takes no heed of men and their paltry affairs of life and death; its face remains unruffled, and its rugged outlines un¬ changed, to all but the smoothly flowing waters that have moulded and formed its contours in ages past.
