WERNER'S AND OTHER CREEKS. 1073 crossed an extensive, beautiful, and vvell-watered valley nearly 12 miles in length, at the extremity of which we halted for ; Here we obtained a great quantity of quamash and shot an antelope from a gang of females, which at this season herd together, apart from the bucks. After dinner we followed the course of the river eastward for six miles, to the mouth of a creek 35 yards wide, which we called Werner's*- creek. It comes in from the north, and waters a high, extensive prairie, the hills near which are low, and sup- plied with the long-leaved pine, larch, and some fir. The road then led N. 22° W. for four miles,^' soon after which It again turned N. 75'' E. for 2% miles, over a handsome plain watered by Werner's creek, to the river; this we fol- lowed on its eastern direction, through a high prairie, rendered very unequal by a vast number of little hillocks " No fewer than/zr creeks are passed before dinner and thus before Werner's creek ,s reached-a]l duly noted on Lewis La 3, and duly charted on Clark N 150, but omitted from the text !
