[Tagging] How to tag beginning of a river

Not in this case. If the stream started at a spring, that is a place where
water comes from the within the earth, that would be fine but the Colville
begins at the place where two smaller streams come together to form a
larger stream. Sometimes this new stream will take the name of one or
another of the small streams from which it derives but often people chose
to name the "new" stream differently and choose a new name, as they did
here.
