ArIee their route follows the course
of the JOckO river, tributary Of
the Clark Fork. Not many who
pass that way know that this river
was named in honor of one Of the
first traders to pass through this
area. His name was Jacques Ra-
phaeI Finlay, and some reputable
historians are of the opinion that

empire builder who is honored when
