W 4 1 a m s k n i , pi. tiimi W. (1) adj., belonging to, coming from Rogue River 

 Valley, in Southwestern Oregon. (2) W., or W. mAklaks, nom. pr.. Rogue 

 River Indian. These Indians belong, like the Umpqua, to the Tinnc 

 family of aborigines; they formerly inhabited the largest part of the 

 count) y drained by the Rogue River and its tributaries (Illinois River, 

 Applegate Creek etc.), and also held the coast of the Pacific Ocean be- 

 tween 41° 30' and 43° of latitude. They are sometimes called Tototen 

 or Tutatami after one of their tribes, which was settled at the mouth of 

 the Rogue River. When they had been subjugated during the long and 

 bloody Oregon war, the majority of this race and of their allies in war, 

 the Shasti Indians, were removed to the coast reservations, though many 

 still remain in their old haunts and fishing places. Dr. Hubbard, in an 

 article written in February 1856, before their removal and the cession of 

 their lands by treaty to the Government of the United States, fixed the 

 number of Rogue River tribes, each under a chief, at thirteen, and the 

 number of Indians at 1,205. Two episodes of their local quarrels with 

 the E-ukshikni are sketched in our Texts, pp. 16-18. A Rogue River 

 chief is mentioned, 16, 6. sqq. Der. Walamsh. Cf. Ampkokni, S<')1-
