Sluiskin. for such was his tam e , was speaking in the flow ery language of his fathers; " If you go on with your fool ish plan to climb Takhoma, if you should escape the many perils tha* surely beset your path, and should you reach" the great snowy dome, then a bit terly cold and furious tempest w ill sweep you off into space like a withered leaf. And if by some miracle you should sur vive all these perils, the mighty demon of Takhoma w ill surely k ill you and throw you into the fiery lake . . ." Advice Was Serious Sluiskin spoke earnestly and with awe in his voice. His audi ence, two lean northwest pio neers. listened gravely and smiled. They were not to be disuaded, and the foltowing day, to the eternal amazement of the Indian, they climbed the "Mountain That Was God” for the first time. A ll this happened almost 71 years ago— it was August 17, 1870, that the two Olympia, Wash , pioneers. Hazard Stevens and P. B. Van Trum p, made the first climb. But to this day. Mount Rainier— or Mount T a coma. as you w ill— Inspires something of Suiskin's awe in the feelings of those who live among the pleated ridges at her base, in the feelings of even the casual visitor. I t was certainly awe that slowed The Oregonian-Oregon State Motor association's travel car to a stop as it nosed down from Chinook pass on the east side of the mountain.

Peak Massive Sentinel A t the upper end of the val ley Mount Rainier stood senti nel. The afternoon sun was slanting across “the Mountain That Was God," putting dia mond-bright highlights on her glacial fields. There was majes ty in the scene, but there was a hint, too, of power, of winter gales that could seemingly pick cars and travelers from a pre carious perch like flies being brushed from a wall. The travel car almost in stinctively nosed closer to the bank as it slid down to White riv e r 'a n d wound upward on the last leg of the Journey into Yakim a park on the northeast shoulder of the mountain.

The last finishing touches were put on the road this year, and it was that section of the road that prompted the motorlog. . As for which side of the mountain« is the best to visit, that, like ail questions, has two sides and opponents and pro ponents on both sides. The motorioggers tim idly venture these opinions on that question; (a) If you go for companion ship. try the south side. Some 34.000 cars have been checker* into Paradise valley so far this year, while less than half that number visited Yakima park. (b) If you go for scenery, try the north side. Yakim a park Is 1000 feet higher on the moun tain. (Yakim a park elevation, 6400 feet; Paradise elevation, 5400 feet.) The mountain seems closer, the erags craggier, tha vollpys deeper.
