contain little else of importance or value,
and was made up largely of extracts from
the narratives of Hennepin, Charlevoix
de Ia Sale ard other French explorers.
But 1t is mystery why those explorers

Lewis and Clark. Vancouver Bellingham
up and down the coast, did not also
hear the name, but they seem to
have missed it altogether.
The Columbia river was named after
the ship Columbia, commanded by Capt
Robert Gray Of Boston. which was the
first vessel of any size to enter its waters.
The Columbia and the George Washing
ton were sent around Cape Horn in 1857
to trade for furs with the natives of the
Pacific coast. They discovered and en-
tered the mouth Of the river in 1892 and
sailed up as far as the Dalles. Capt.
Cook in his expedition of. 177S failed to
discover the river and Vancouver also
passed it by. The geographical Cover
nor Of Oregon has recently appointed a
commission to revise the nomenclature
of the state. William G. Steele formerly
editor OF the Native Son. who has taken
great interest in promoting the prosper
ity Of Oregon, Is the chairman.
