"THE MOUNTAIN THAT WAS GOD": MOUNT RAINIER 

 This mountain of Indian mythology constitutes the Kohinoor of Mount Rainier National Park, fifty- 

 seven miles from Tacoma. With an unconscious insight into the service rendered by mountain peaks, the 

 red men of the Northwest called this great snow-peak the " Fountain-breast of Milk-white Waters."
