WHEN GODS WALKED
Legend Of Indians Of Oregon Accounts
for Rapids in the Columbia River

In Oregon the Indians still have a
legend about the ancestors of the red
men. According to this ancient tale,
their home was originally In the Cas-
cade Mountains. near the Columbia
River. The Indians believe that their
earliest ancestors chose for them this
hunting ground.
The region was then all grandeur, In
those days Of long, Ions ago Mt Hood
and Mt. Helens were real volcanoes,
towering high above the green Of the
primaeval forest; and between them
flowed the beautiful Columbia, span
ned by a great natural bridge where
the broad river cut It's channel through
the mountain range. But, alas! the
bridge OF the olden time disappeared
LONG ago. and nothing of It remains
to mark the place whore 1t once stood.
Nor is there anything but the enchant-
Ing rapids. glinting in the sunlight. to
recall its former existence. In fact
the entire region has lost much Of it's
former grandeur
Two gods-so the Indians say---lived
on the two giant mountains These
gods, who we're man and wife spent
long years contentedly on their
heights, crossing back and forth over
the bridge to visit one another. And
I'm fair weather they took great delight
in looking down into the valley far be-
low. For they beheld there the beauti-
ful winding river and they watched
with pride their children, the red men
who fished and hunted all day along
the banks of the river and called to
each other. so thai the valley was fill
ed with good cheer. 1t was indeed,
care-fres existence for every one in
the entire region. All enjoyed their
home.
Then day came when the gods quar-
relied, Concealed on their mountains
up among the clouds. they now hurled
huge boulders over the bridge at each
other--boulders whose crashing fall re-
sounded among the far-off mountains
And In the midst of the frightful din
the gods made the volcanoes belch fire
gAinst the overcast sky--fire which
then flowed far down into the troubled
valley Otherwise everything lay quiet
under the cover of darkness caused by
the wrath Of the gods.
The region suffered great change dur
ing the awful conflict Struck by the
huge boulders, the bridge. of course
