298 FRED S. PERRINE S. 30° W. 2 miles to the upper point of a small island in the middle of Moltnomar river, thence S. 10° W. 3 miles to a sluce 80 yards wide which de- vides Wappato Island from the main star* 1 side shore passing a willow point on the Lard. side. S. 60° E. 3 miles to a large Indian house on the Lard side below some high pine land, high bold shore on the Starboard side, thence S. 30° E. 2 miles to a bend under the high lands on the Star 1 Side passing a Larboard 10 point. thence the river bends to the East of S East as far as I could see. at this place I think the width of the river may be stated at 500 yards and sufficiently deep for a Man of war or ship of any burthen." (Clark) Thursday, April 3rd, 1806: "The water had fallen in the course of last night five inches. I set out and proceeded up a short distance and attempted a second time with my cord of five fathom but could find no bottom, the mist was so thick that I could see but a short distance up this river. When I left it, it was bending to the East of S. E. being perfectly satis- fyed of the size and magnitude of this great river which must water that vast tract of Country between the west- ern range of mountains and those on the sea coast and as far S. as the Waters of California about Lat/ 37. North. I deturmined to return. ***** j provailed on an old man to draw me a sketch of the Multnomar River and give me the names of the nations resideing on it which he readily done, and gave me the names of 4 nations who reside on this river two of them very noumer- ous. The first is Clark-a-mus nation reside on a small river which takes its rise in Mt. Jefferson and falls into the Multnomar about 40 miles up. this nation is noum- erous and inhabit 11 towns, the 2nd is the Cush-hooks who reside on the N. E. side below the falls, the 3rd is the Char-cowah who reside above the Falls on the S. W . side neither of those two are noumerous. The fourth Nation is the Cal-lar-po-e-wah which is very noumerous
