SELLWOOD BODY AGED 13 Board: of Trade Holds Annual Meet ing 1. 31. Dona ugh Is Head.

Camp bell; assistant secretary, J. F. Kertch em; treasurer, Peter Hume. Mr. Don augh was the first president, and with exception of about two years when A. N.

Campbell submitted a resolu tion asking the Park Board to set aside two acres In the Sellwood park for the proposed home of the Oregon Historical society. As the Reed Insti tute wilU be located at Eastmoreland, near Sellwood, it was urged that Soil wood was an appropriate place for the Oregon Historical society. George H. Himes, secretary of the society, favored selection of a site in one of the city parks as there would then be room for expansion. - Chairman Donaugh announced that the interested districts were appoint ing committees to consider deepening of the Willamette river south of Madi son bridge. These committeemen will meet soon. $38,493 MORE IS PAID OLl OliKGON TRUST CLAIMS ARE MET GRADUALLY. John Iljana Collects $15,000 and Redeposits It Conn Bros. Buy 7 7 Accounts. At the present rate the old Oregon Trust & Savings Bank claims are being paid off at the German-American Bank it will be three days or more before the entire $300,000 of unpaid deposits are cleaned up and the German-American Bank is able to report the close of the transaction to the receiver. The payment of the claims has settled down to routine, and the, line of claimants has dwindled to an occasional one dropping in now and then. Yesterday 77 claims were settled, aggregating $38,493.77, of which $20,000 was redeposlted in the German -American Bank. One of the largest depositors on the list John Iljana, settled his claim yesterday. Mr. Iljana came to Portland three years ago after having made a strike in Alaska. His account showed a deposit of $15,000. He. like all the other claimants having large deposits, gave his account to the German-American Bank.

NAMES OF OUR MOUNTAINS An Effort to Clear "Cp Some Points of Xomenclature. ' IWRTLAND. Feb. 14. (To the Editor.) ' In The Oregonian Sunday is an editorial entitle "Persistence of Names," in which it is said that Mount Jeffereon had not been named at the time the effort was made to give the name of "president Ranjre" to the Cascade Mountains. This is an error. Mount Jefferson was discovered and named by Lewis and Clark. On page 223 of volume 4, of the "Original Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedit ion," published by Iodd, Mead & Co. in 1U03, there is an entry by Captain Clark, when they were a short dis tance below the mouth of the Willamette River, on March 30, 1S06, in which he says: 'ULscovered a high mountain S. E-, cov ered with snow, which we call Mt. Jeffer son." On page 2.-o, under date of April 7, 1S06, he also wrote: "Mt. Jefferson we can plainly see from the enterance of Mult nomah ( River), from which place it bears 5. E. This is a noble mountain and I think equally an high or something higher than Mt. St. Helens, but its distance being much greater than that of the latter, ao great a portion of It does not appear above the rane of mountains which lie between both those stupendous mountains and the mouth of Multnomah. Like Mt. St. Helens its figure is a regular cone and is covered with eturnial snows.' It was Hall J. Kelley who tried to give the name of "President's Range" to the Casnade Mountains, when or after he was in Oregon, in In Report 101 of House of Representatives, 25 th Congress, third session, of February 16, 1 839. known as "Cushing's Supplemental Report." is a let ter, dated January 31, 1 S3f. from Kelley to Hon. Caleb cushing, called "Appendix O," in which Kelley, writing of the Cascade Mountains, says that the western portion of what is now the State of Oregon "is bor dered by a mountain range, running nearly parallel to the spine of the Rocky Moun- DJCATH BY HEART TROUBLE CAULS ,OKl.UVNl WOMAN. Mrs. Anna C. Gebhardt. Mrs. Anna C. Gebhardt. mother of Albert E. Gebhardt. a Portland at torney, died early yesterday from heart trouble. Mrs. Gebhardt was born in Ger many. 74 years sro. and came to America when she was a fflrl. For a number of years she lived at St. Louis, Mo., but subsequently went to Peoria. 111., where, in 1S57, she was married to Henry Gebhardt, who died about 26 years aito. Since that time Bh bad lived with her son. Albert. In 1S91 she and her son moved to Portland. The funeral will be held from Hol man's undertaking chapel tomorrow afternoon at 2 P. M. tains and to the coast, and which, from the number of Its elevated peaks. I am inclined to call the President's range." In a foot note Kelley says: "These isolated and re markable cones, which are called among th. hunters of the Hudson's Bay Company by other names, I have cmsiened after our ex-Presidents, viz: 1. Washington, lati tude 48 deg. 15 mln. ; 2. Adams, latitude, 43 deg. lo mln.; 3. Jefferson, latitude 44 deg. SO mln.; 4. Madison, latitude 4a deg. f min.; 5. Monroe, latitude. 4.1 deg. 20 mln.: . J. Q. Adams, latitude 42 deg. 10 mln.; and 7. Jackson, latitude 41 deg. 40 min." If these names, proposed by Kelley. had been adopted, the present names of those peaks would be as follows: Mount Adams. Washington; Mount Hood, Adams; Mount Jefferson, the same; Three Sisters, Madison Mount Thlelsen. Monroe; Mount McLaugh lin. J. Q. Adams: Mount Shasta. Jackson. FREDERICK V. HOLMAN. SHOWS WILL UNITE Portland Capital to Control Moving Pictures. NORTHWEST STATES IN Moving Picture Entertainment Places In Oregon, Washington and Idaho to Be in Combine. Several Bought Outright. Planning the installation of a first class moving picture show in every city in the Pacific Northwest, S. Morton Cohn and his associates, of this city, have or ganized the People's Amusement Com pany with a capital stock of J400.000. The company will operate in the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Al ready 13 of these 5 and 10-cent entertain ment houses, seven of them being lo cated in Portland, have been absorbed by the merger. Details of the organiza tion, including the election of officers and directors, were completed at a meeting of the stockholders yesterday afternoon. The officers are as follows: President. S. Morton Cohn; vice-president, Fred H. Kothchild; secretary, L. Soils Cohen; directors, S. Morton Cohn, Dr. Holt Wil son, A. Berg, Fred H. Rothchild and D. Soils Cohen. Many Theaters Acquired. The companynas acquired the follow ing moving picture theaters: Star, Ar cade, On Joy, Hippodrome, Orpheum (Sixth street). Palace and Bijou, of this city; Lyceum, Alaska and Olympic thea ters, of Seattle:' Star Theater, of La Grande; Grand Theater, of The Dalles, and Star Theater, of Caldwell,' Idaho. It is the purpose of the company to operate the theaters it has acquired and to build and equip such new enterprises of this kind as may be brought under its direction and control. It is announced that one of the main objects of the company will be to guard and scrutinize programmes, not only in the theaters located in the large cities, but in the small towns as well, so that the entertainment at all times will be entirely free from objectionable features. Mr. Cohn denies that the consolidation which has been effected will encroach upon any of the smaller theaters in any of the various localities in which it will compete' for business. The comapny has secured offices in the Rothschild building. Moving Picture Shows Popular. There are In this city alone probably 35 of these amusement houses where old and young every week find entertainment. The extent to which they are patronized is surprising. It is estimated that fully 100,000 people visit these moving picture exhibitions every week. CHEHALIS FILES PROTEST New Telephone Proposition Causes Opposition to Double Service. CHEHALIS, Wash., Feb. 15. (Special.) At the meeting of the Chehalis Council last night a' petition signed by the bulk of the business men of the city was pre sented protesting against the proposed installation of about a dozen new tele phones by the Northwestern Long-Distance Company, on account of the possi bility that this would be an opening wedge toward the installation In this city of a double phone exchange for local service. The Council turned the matter over to a committee. There is an acute telephone war here on account of the fact that the owner of the local exchange recently cut off the so-called Silver Creek line east of Che hall9, owing to differences between the two managements. The Silver Creek Com pany asked in conjunction with the Northwestern that the new phones be per mitted, so that it could get into Chehalls. WHEREjTO DINE.
