Abstract
"As heretofore stated the Columbia River was densely populated. At Wallula for a mile was a solid camp with merely space enough between the lodges to allow a footman to pass. There must have been several thousand people, all fishing points were as densely people especially at the Dalles, Dechutes and Kettle Falls. ....In 1853 (35?) small pox broke out among the upper Columbia Indians and out of a large tribe the Okinagans only nine survived. These were badly disfigured. The Walla Wallas were and are still the largest tribe in the Columbia basin."
