WALLOWA COUNT! PRESIDENT STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAS ARTICLE IN PORTLANDJOURNAL. Tko Portland Journal has been run- ntng a series of articles on "Orlgini of Oregon Counties by F. V. Hoi- man, president of the Oreg'on Histoid cai Society. The- following Idescript bn of this county appeared In Fri day's1 paper. WAIjLOWA COUNTY. Walibwa county was created Feb ruary 11, 1887, by the state legis lature. lUeneral laws of 1887, pt U2). It comprises a part of the east em portibn of the original Union county, it s the nontheasitern coumty f Oregon. The name is that of the beautiful Wallowa lake and its outlet, the Wallowa river. The part of Oregba which, compris es Wallowa county in early days was isolated. It was far from the usually travelled -route of early -raveers, fur tra-e.s au'd iiromlgranis. It lies Bouth and southwest of Lewis .011, Idaho, near which, to the east, ioutheaat and south of the Clearwatci river is Lapwai, the reservation' ot the upper Nez Perce tribe. In October, 1803, and in May. 1806, lie. Lewis anft, Clark expedltibn- was S the mouth of the Clearwater river. which lxwils and Clark called the vooakooakee.

I In the .winter 'of 1811-12, Wllfan Price Hunt and his party en route, verlend, ' to As onla, attempted to Jescend the Snake river. They start- id to Idescend the Snake river In aanoes, but they were compelled Co abandon, their canoes and proceed Iowa the bank of tihie river, some of he party being on the east aide, 'the Jthters on the west side of the Sneike olver. The who'e party nearly perish- d1 from hunger end other hardships, Jocember 24, 1811, the party left Jie Snake river and proceedel west ward l!o the Coluimbla river, which hey reached January 21, 1812, at a point not far south of the Waiia Walla river. On the way from tlhe Snake river to the Columbia, the ex- lot route of the party lis not deserib- 3d nor can it de'inlteily be ascertain- ed, but undoubtedly It was through what Is now Waltowa county, probalb- y south of Wallowa lake. The, only iver or stream between the Snake iver and t'hei CoHumbia which Is men- .lomed by name, except Walla Walla river, It Is said "was called by the natives Eu-o-taMa, or Umatilla." (Ir- ving's Astoria, vol. 2, page 65). In 1833 and 1834, Captain Uonne viille and his party were in what is iow Wallowa counrty. He does not mention, the name Wallowa. -He Idoes mention the Imnaha river, which he sails the Immahah, and the Way-lee- way, wnicn is tne ez rrce name x tne uranoe itonoe rnver. The eastern and southern part of Wallowa county were the habitat of the Jower Neis Perce Indians, at the time of the beginning of the noted war with them, which began June, 1877, and ended in October of the same year. Their chief was uie iam bus Indian known as Chief Joseph To be certain of the meaning or origin' of the name, I wrote A. C Smith, nfow living at Enterprise, In Wallowa county. For many years he '.tvetf with the Indians In that vicinity irad speaks one or more of the tribal! languages He has kindly written me, saying that he hall leirned frVwn the UmatMa and the Nez Perce In dlanf that the Wallowa river was named by the fact that, many gene rations ago, the Nez Perce Indians olaced the first firth, trap in' that rive', and the sahnon failed, from sne fiwvi unknown vo them, to go iTto the tram and, ater leaving the trap set fa the river un'tl time to go into "loir wlnr quar'r. they arrjv1 at ipemt'tlow notion that some, chnnr hai IfVerveoed to nrove-nt the fish from going in.
