i Sees Marshall.
The first man we went to see
was Robert B. Marshall, chief
geographer, who more than two
years ago, during a visit to Ia
coma, made the frank statement
for publication that the name Rat
nier attached to this wonderful
uplift of nature was reflection
on our patriotism. taste and judg-
ment, that it's adoption by the
board of geographic names was
largely due to the influence of in
terests manufacturing Rainier

the dead walls of the west from
Victoria to San Diego with hideous
representations of the great noun
not entitled to such a monument
as our peak in a country whose
history he figured in only as an
active enemy, to deprive the peo-
pie of the liberty they we're fight
ing for, and that his name should
be taken down and an aboriginal
name substituted.
Everybody now knows 1t was
this statement from so competent
an authority-indeed the highest
authority, | think, in the United
States, since Mr.. Marshall not only
is a geographer of wide general
knowledge and experience and
therefore stands in a sympathetic
relationship to this subject, but he
knows the west half of the con-
tinent as very few men know it,
from the geographic viewpoint,
and knows and feels the spirit of
the west-it was this statement,
therefore, from such authority
that inspired the drive that had
now landed us in Washington to
call for judgment on the old con-
troversy.
Not Cordial.
To my surprise-this was the
first of many-Mr. Marshall was
first of many-Mr. aMrshall was

these "old, influential members"
He had started something" which
ran contrary to their wishes--and
intentions. When he made this
declaration quoted, he had not
foreseen that 1t would carry so far.
He had been made to feel the re-
sentiment Of the older members
and he now felt himself to be "the
goat"
That's the way l got it," any

When Johnson thought to stun

Not only that but he went with
us whenever his presence could
smooth the way to our seeing the
man we wanted to see, which was
often the case.
He did all and more than could
be expected at that time. For it
was a very busy time-everybody
in Washington was deeply involv-
ed In the momentous and awe
some business of making ready for
entrance by the nation into the
great world war.

to sense what Mr.. Seymour had

I'VE are to have here an open in
