CURIOUS INDIAN LEGEND ABOUT THE RockY
MoUNTAINs.-There is a quaint tradition
existing among the indians Of the Northwest,
10 connection With the snow-peaks of Mounts
Baker, Haner, St. Helen's and Hood, of the
Cascade range Of the Rocky Mountains.
The lofty peaks we're supposed, when the
world was young, to be Tyees- Kiugs--of the
lesser mountains Of their respective districts.
Here they ruled in kingly grandeur, receiving
from their subjects such homage as is due 10
great chiefs, and in themselves acknowedg ging
no superior except the Great Spirit. For ages
their reign was an uninterrupted scene of peace
and happiness. Seas, lakes and mighty rivers
bathed their feet, and their sides were clothed
with evergreen forests. Here the beasts and
fishes roamed in primeval bliss, fearing neither
the huuter nor the fisherman, for man was not
yet here.
But in time, like nations, discord arose
among them. Each Chief assumed the quarrel
OF bis subjects, and an uurelenting war was the
result. In their rage they belched forth FIRE
and smoke, and hurled at each other 6ery
rocks, desolating their fair sides; chokeing up
the lakes and rivers with their fragments, and
destroying the inhabitants Of both land and wa
ter For years this conflict ragged with de-
moniac fury, uutil the Great Spirit became
angry, and bade shem oease their quarrel and
close their very mouths. AID to punish them
for their folly and their sin in laying waste
their fair domains, he covered them each with
an eternal mautle of snow. From that TINA
peace has reigued among thom, although oc-
casionally they have muttsred end given signs
of rebellion, but the Great Spirit points, with
a sisni6cant smile, to sheir snowy letters, aud
their burning spirits sink deep within their
bosOms
