The origin of the name Willamette
is in doubt, and has been so in all
the years since It was first ap
plied. In one form or another to
the largest river wholly within
our state. There is a tradition
that the name came from that of
an Indian tribe In the coast re
gion of what is now the state of
Washington. But that is only a
tradition. More about this a little
later along.

There Is only one Willamette
town and postofflce In the United
States, and It is In Claekamaa
county, near the mouth of the Tu
alatin river; south of Oregon City.
The only Willamette city and
postofflce in our nation is the one
mentioned in the Chicago Tribune
article. It is la Cook county, Illi
nois, 14 miles north of Chicago.

Nome, yesterday petitioned : the
court for an order requiring the

At another time, according to
the affidavit, Mrs. Noble and Mrs.
Hoffnell went to the defendant's
home at Skyline orchards and
were unable to raise anyone.
Leaving. Mrs. Noble saw the chil
dren playing on the davenport

Coal Development
Waldo Hills Miners Drop
Work Aftter Digging
175-Foot Tunnel
Efforts to develop coal mines in
the Waldo Hills veins have been
dropped for the present, at least, I
Ray J. stumDO, proprietor or tne
Hollywood theatre, who con-
ducted one Investigation In the
coal area, declared yesterday. I
Stum bo said a group of men
i who. several months ago drove a
tunnel ITS feet Into a sldehill
near the old Willard church had
given np and moved to Washing-
ton. The Associated Press re
cently released a picture of the
church with the statement it was
being occupied as a residence by
the miners.
At the Stumbo workings a shaft
was driven 65 leet into, tne
ground and what appeared to be
a five-foot rein of coal struck.
Farther exploration, however,
' proved It to be only a "nigger-
head," or pocket, with the veins
leading np to It being too thin
for practical mining, Stumbo said.
The Waldo Hills coal, a soft
I type, is "green" but is a better
grade than the coal found In the
hills near Marshfield, according
to the theatre man.
