seems to indicate that the river in some remote age found 
its way to the ocean through the present mouth of the 
bay.—Washington has no islands in the Pacific Ocean, but a 
multitude in the Gulf of Georgia and in Puget Sound and near 
its mouth. Among those in the Gulf of Georgia are Sau Juan, 
Lopez, Orcus, Shaw, Blakely, Lummi, Cypress, Fidalgo, Wal- 
dron, and Stewart Islands. At the mouth of Puget Sound are 
Whidbey’s and Camano Islands. In the sound are Bainbridge, 
Vashon’s, Maury’s, Fox, McNiel, Anderson’s, and Hartstene’s 
Islands.—There are many lakes in Washington. Quiniult 
Lake, about forty miles southeast from Cape Flattery, is six 
miles long by three wide. Whatcom Lake, two miles from 
Bellingham Bay, is of the same size. Samish Lake, two miles 
south of Whatcom Lake, is nearly as large. Dwamish Lake, 
three miles east of the town and harbor of Seattle, is eighteen 
miles long and three wide. Sammamish Lake, five miles far- 
ther'east, is five miles long and two wide. Kipowsin, Owhap, 
Kantz, Shaaf, and Tanwux Lakes are in a cluster thirty-five 
miles eastward from Olympia. Toutle Lake, nearly round, and 
three miles in diameter, is twelve miles from the mouth of 
the Cowlitz River. High up in the Cascade Mountains, in 
latitude 47° 25’, are Lakes Nahchess and Kitchelus, each five 
miles long and two wide, both drained by the Yakima River. 
Not far from Lake Nahchess is Lake Kleattam, about as large 
as the other two jointly. Lake Chelaw, east of the Cascade 
Mountains, and one hundred miles distant from Port Town- 
send, is thirty-five miles long, three wide, and has a great depth 
of water. Its outlet into the Columbia is two miles long, and 
in that distance the water falls two hundred and fifty feet. 
In the northeast corner of the Territory, at the foot of the 
Rocky Mountains, is Flat Head Lake, twenty miles long and 
six wide. Clark’s River, one hundred miles from its mouth, 
spreads out into a lake six miles in diameter, called Pend 
d’Oreille Lake. The Spokane River, about seventy-five miles 
from its mouth, widens out into Coeur d’Aléne Lake, six miles in 
diameter. There are three main ranges of mountains in Was
