White Bear Islands above the Falls of the Missouri July 1st. Monday 1805—

I arrived at this place to day at 3 oClock P.M. with the

The three points connected with the portage—one below near Portage Creek;
one above, opposite White Bear Islands; and another between, at Willow Run—are
laid down on Clark's sketch.—Ed.
