conquerors Such were the de
circus ImhitH of the warriors of the
lewer Columbia.
These were the people who livtd
almost exclusively by fishing, and
whose climate was a mild and
fi-rtnbly and even Ii.iiid40(iiely, as moist one. Fishing, in which both
dreH goes among savages, and
ul'.oether were more to be feared
than despiced.
Thu Crows reeembled the Black
list, h ho'e eiieniies they were, in
all the b'jforo-mentioned traits, but
wero if pofrible, even more preda
tory in their habits. Unlike the
IJIackfcet, however, they were not
l ho enemies of all mankind ; and
even were disputed to cultivate
some friendliness wiih the white
traders and trappers, in order, as
they acknowledged, to strengthen
their o vii h .in Is uisainH tho Iilauk
fe.t. They Ioj inhabited a ton
country, full of game, and had
h irtes in abundance. These were
the mountain tribes.
Comparing these with the coast
tribes, there was a striking differ
ence. The natives of the Colum-
scxes engaged about equally, was
an important accomplishment,
since it was by fish they lived in
ibis world ; and by being good fish
ermen that they had hopes of the
next one. The houses in which
they lived, instead of being lodges
made of buffalo skins, wero of a
larg size and very well constiuct
ed, being made out of cedar planks.
An excavation was firs' made in
the earth two or three feet deep,
probably to secure greater warmth
in winter. A double row of cedar
post) wag then planted firmly all
round the excavation, and between
these the planks were laid, or,
sometimes cedar bark, so overlap
ped as to exclude the rain andj
wind. The ridge pole of the roof;

warlike and more enterprising;
they even had some notions of com
merce, being traders between the
coast Indians and those to the eust
of them. They too were great fiidi
erinen, but used the net instead of
fishing in boats. Great scaffold
ing were erected every year at the
narrows of the Columbia, known as
The Dallc, where, as the salmon
pised up the liver in the spring'
in incredible numbers, they were
caught and dried. After drying,
tfie fish were then pounded fine be
tween two stones, pressed tightly
into packages or bales of about a
hundred pounds, covered with mat
ting, and corded up for transporta
tion. The bales wero then placed
in storehouses built to receive
them, where they awaited customers.

change effected by the advent of
this new element in the savage's

could have lived on these immense

As to thu Indian's moral nature,
that is pretty niuuh alike every
where; and with some rare excep
tions, the rarest of which is, per
haps, the Flathead and Nez Perces
nations, all are cruel, thieving, and
treacherous. The Indian gospel is
literally the "gospel of blood ;" an
"eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth." Vengeance is as much a
commandment to him as any part
of the decalogue is to the Christian.
But we haye digressed far from our
narrative; and as it will be neces
sary to refer to the subject of the
moral code of savages further on
in our narrative, we leave it for the
present.
