W10??? In the East softly spread the colors of the sunrise, tinting the great white smoke mountain. Farther and farther it sent its message of an- other dawning. Out from the mountain rose the glad tidings which dis- seminated above the Columbian cascades, the place of Wallulahis resurrec- tion. Wallulah was the daughter of the mighty Multnomah and of Sea- Flower, a young and lovely woman of Asia, who was rescued from a ship, wrecked on the Columbian bar. Sea-Flower won the Indians respect and softened their hearts. Multnomah made her his woman and the child, Wallulah, was born to them. Sea-Flower died soon and the great chief tenderly nurtured the strong and graceful girl, Wallulah. Like her' mother, she was sad, appealing, and lovely. Even while she loved her father, she gazed across the waters, yearning forasomething. Finally she found it in the love of another than the treacherous war- chief to whom she was betrothed by tribal agreement. Because she was of Asiatc arstocracy, she s'huddered at life as the ttsquaw of fierce Sno- qualmie. Her mother had taught her Indian girl to love the finer things ; so when Cecil Gray came to tell the Red Men in the Land of the Setting Sun about the kindness and love of the Great Spirit, her heart received the man with the message and she loved. Then dark clouds gathered. Cecil rejected his happiness for his Com- mander and Commission. He left Wallulah in the gloom of inevitable rains of insult, drudgery, and brutality and continued his work among those who sought his scalp. But the Great Spirit took his life from their - savage grasp. Yet Wallulah did not suffer long. During those brief m0- ments of happiness stolen from. Multnomahis guards in the big, green Oregon forest, the two had been forever united. So when Snoqualmie would rudely snatch the blossom from its Eden, the river of water flowed over the withering petals, even while, to a few, at least, of the savage senses, it left sweet fragrance to prosper. Into the raging cascades, created by the prophetic fall of the Bridge of the Gods, sank Wallulah, the daughter of Multnomah, chief of the Walla- mets, from whom was lost forever the control of the powerful cangfederacy of the Wauna. For her the clouds became amber and golden when once more she joined her companion in the Happy Hunting Ground. And now through the trees across the campus comes to Willamette with each new dawn, in purple, silver, or amber and gold, that which bring with it the spirit of Wallulah. a - B. L. Five
