pauginans Tree,

Peter Pangmau Is set down in Cana
dian annals as being the first white
man to reach The Rocky mountains, and
also the first white man ever to see
them from the east While in the en-
ploy of fur traders he assembled the Sas-
katchewan above its junction with the
Clearwater, and, looking to the west
ward, he saw the white mass of the
Rocky mountains, to which he after
spot of his first vision by carving his
name on a pine, which from that day
became known as "Pangman 5 tree.
The great north country was far
enough of in 1890. Peter Pangman had
no special cause for believing that any
second person would pass that same
way. 1t was more reasonable to sup
pose that time or fire or wind would
destroy this enc pine among the mil
lion other pines, and yet 107 years
after be made his rude inscription
''Pangman tree Is spoken and writ
ten about. Some years after the North
west Fur company established a post on
the Saskatchewan III the vicinity, which
came to be called Rocky Mountain
House. But the post was described by
its proximity to the tree and not vice
versa. All the travellers and traders of
the early days speak Of TINS place as
"three miles below 'Pangman' S tree "
The Rocky Mountain House took its
name because it was so near this Rocky
mountain t1ee. The tree was landmark
before the trading post and continued
to be after the post had ceased a trans
continental railroad passes not far away
now, but it has not obliterated the
memory of the post nor blotted from
the minds of men the living and leafy
monument.
As for Peter Pangman, he went into
history the day he carved his name in
the bark and identified himself with the
tree. After years Of plain and mountain
service he returned to the eastern parts
of what Is low the Dominion Of Canada
and bought lands aud reared family
