[107] Red Wolf crossing of the Snake river, at mouth of Alpown creek
Garfield country, Washington. Col. E. J. Steptoe's expedition crossed
here in the year 1858 on its disastrous expedition.
[108] John Work's corruption of the Indian family name Shahaptin.
[109] The Palouse and the Cayuse tribes. Not unlike Lewis and Clark Mr.
Work was "something of a speller."
[110] Where Lewiston, Idaho, now stands. See page 128 of Vol. 2 of
"Trail of Lewis & Clark" (Wheeler) for photo and description of this
site.
[111] That is, the Snake river proper but designated by Lewis and
Clark as the Kimooenim, while the Clearwater from the S. E. was the
Kooskooske.
[112] A very correct description of "Lewiston Hill" and of the famous
Palouse country beyond. Travelers by stage over that road all remember
it. Mr. Dease evidently returned direct to Fort Walla Walla by the
river.
[113] The regular Indian trail northward followed the line between
Washington and Idaho, generally speaking; consult Mauring's "Conquest
of Coeur d'Alene, Spokane & Palouse Indians" for this.
[114] Probably near Phileo Lake between Spangle and Cheney, Spokane
county, Washington.
[115] Spokane House, at junction of main with the Little Spokane
river, nine miles N. W. of City of Spokane, first established by Finan
McDonald in 1810; Mr. James Birnie in charge. Mr. Birnie afterward
settled at Astoria and Cathlamet near the mouth of the Columbia.
[116] This, and previous entries, give us the actual plans for removal
of this trading post to Kettle Falls on the Columbia, as had evidently
been agreed upon during the winter at Fort George. Consult "Fur Hunters
of Far West" (Ross) Vol. 2, p 162 as to this. Also Gov. Stevens large
map in Vol. 12 of Pac. Ry. Reports.
[117] The Pend d'Oreille river, from its mouth to the Calispel river
and flats near Cusick, Washington.
[118] The Kootenay river.
[119] Evidently Gov. Simpson was not without some gift of humor; he was
preparing Mr. Work for David Douglas' expected visit to the Interior to
collect botanical specimens.
[120] After at least 150 miles across the best farming lands of
Spokane, Lincoln and part of Douglas counties, Washington. Fort
Okanagan was then on the Columbia river side of the plateau at mouth of
Okanogan river.
[121] The San Poll river, from the north.
[122] These horses were for use in transporting goods to the Thompson
river and New Caledonia Districts, which from now on were to deliver
furs and get goods at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia. Up to this time
they had shipped everything to and from York Factory to Hudson Bay,
using the Tete Jaune Pass across the Rocky Mts.
[123] Peter Skene Ogden, who was in charge of the Snake Country
trappers that season. Consult Oregon Historical Quarterly Vol. 10, pp.
229-273.
[124] A half breed named La Prate, who afterward was for many years
resident at Fort Okanogan.
[125] The mouth of the Spokane river.
[126] This name should be Robideaux, another half breed.
