 down the Clackamas passing a high conical mountain near it's mouth on the lower Side and heads in Mount Jefferson which he lais down by raiseing the Sand as a very high mountain and covered with eternal snow. . . . Mt. Jefferson we can plainly see from the enterance of Multnomah. . . . This is a noble mountain and I think equally as high or something higher than Mr. St. Helean's but it's distance being much greater than that of the latter, so great a portion of it does not appear above the range of mountains which lie between both those stupendious mountains and the mouth of Multnomah. Like Mt. St. Helean's it's figure is a regular cone and is covered with eturnial snow. . . . This Indian also informed me that multnomah above the falls was crowded with rapids and thickly inhabited by indians of the Cal-lah-po-e-wah Nation.
