The place today: Clearwater to Snake River
here all day. The natives treat us very well; the Officers
practice as physicians among their sick, and they gave them
a very handsome mare and colt. About 12 o’clock our hunter

many more men among the Indians than when we went down
last fall; and several chiefs, which had then been out at war.
In the evening the natives brought in six more of our horses.
