This committee, consisting of
A. j. Richie, Maurice Langhorne
and Sam Wall, is authorized by
the general Justice to the Noun
tain committee to proceed as it
thinks best in bringing about the
organization of q Seattle commit
tee to represent that city in all
matters dealing with legally
dropping the name Rainier and
substituting the aboriginal name
by which the mountain has been
known.
The committee was selected by
the Justice of the Mountain COM
mittee on the recommendation of
G. H. Plummer, Col B. w. Coin
err and Col. James NJ. Ashton.
COiner's View
That the name Rainier has alb
solutely no legal status at Wash
ington and should be officially
dropped IL the proper evidence is
presented. was the statement of
Col. Coiner in outlining the COM
mittee's plans to the Members
Council at the Commercial club.
Coiner, as a lawyer, has looked
up the legal phases of the ques-
ton.
The committee, he said, is ready
with two plans of attack:
First, to have the name Rainier
the name of an enemy of the
United States-dropped by the
government for all time.
Second, to have the name Ia
coma officially substituted.
s'" No Legal Status
So far as | can find, the name
Rainier has no legal status" said
Coiner. The name was attached
by the national geographic board
in 1889, when 1t was authorized
to decide on a name which was in
popular usage.
1t is up to us only to show
that the name Rainier never was
in popular usage. The time never
was more opportune for having
this offensive name wiped off the
map.
Certainly the people of Wash
ington, and of Seattle especially,
will be ready to join in demanding
a truly American name for the
grandest American mountain.
Even the name Seattle would be
better"
Sam Wall declared that the Of
ficials at Washington, including
Secretary of the Interior Lane,
are eager to drop name which
they have no use for, IL the peo-
pie Of Washington will demon
strate that they want the old In
dian name restored.
