Origin OF the Name Tacoma.

1t may be added that the word Taco
ma was never known till Theodore Win
throp's remarkable book, The Canoe
and the Saddle, appeared IN November,
1862, saws the Portland Orc0oniGn. In
1852 Winthrop went TO Panama for
William l.. Aspinwall, and visited Cali
foruia and Oregon the next year. In
August 1853, he Was at Puget sound, and
resolved to return TO the east across the
plains. His book, written IN some
what sophomorical style, but remark
able for Its poetic, imaginative and des-
criptIve passages, gives an account of
his voyage with Indians In a canoe
through Puget Sound and his horseback
ride over the Cascade mountain from
Nesqually TO the Dalles, with Indian
guides. In this book the great noun
tain gets the name of Tacoma" Win
throp Processes to have obtained the
name from his Indian guides, and he
gives his imagination play in a super
natural legend of the mountain 1t Is
probable that the name Tacoma" was
a result of his effort to reproduce or
initiate "a word given him by his guides,
who were Yakima Indians, and that the
word was q common one used by these
Indians as a term for all snow white
mountain peaks. The name of the city
of Tacoma was taken by its founders
from winthrop's book. Winthrop was
killed at Big Bethel, Va, early in the
war of the rebellion, and 1.-The Canoe
and Saddle" with other books he had
written. and which evidently had lain
some time in his desk, was published
Immediately after his death.-Seattte
