J. 8, WEATHER ith frost. -———<$—_._. << een Friday ast wi Today noon, M4 The Newspaper With the Biggest Circulation in Washington Botered as Second Class Matter May %, 2899, at the Post ttice at Seattle, Wash. under the Act of Congress Mar HE special committee of the Chamber of Commerce which announced yesterday that it will proceed im- mediately to inform “congress what the real feeling in the state of Washington relative to the Dill-Johnson bill to change the name of Mount Rainier to Mount Tacoma” is getting support from many sections of the state and also from Idaho and Oregon, Josiah Collins, the chair- man, said Thursday noon. The committee at the same time made it clear that the opposition to the change which was voted in the senate Monday at the request and on the representations of Sen- ator C. C. Dill is. not based solely on the ground that there is no historical basis for it, nor in any spirit of enmity or animosity. The committee said: “The name Mount Rainier was bestowed by the dis- coverer, Captain Vancouver, in 1792, as were the ma- jority of the geographic names on Puget sound. No substantial proof has ever been presented to any other name having any authority in history, except the Indian name ‘Peskehouge,’ vouched for by Dr, Tolmixe, of the Hudson Bay Co., in 1833. “There has been no demand to change the names of Mount Baker, Mount Hood, Puget sound, Vashon island, Hood’s canal and a score of other places which were named in honor of Britishers and at the same time that Capcain Vancouver gave Rainier its name. Mount Vernon, the most sacred spot en American soil, is named after a British admiral; Baltimore after Lord Baltimore, and a score of other cities and places were named after Britishers in early days. oe s¢F—OUT entirely aside from the matter of sentiment and what is right and what is wrong, to change the name of Mount Rainier and Mount Rainier National park at this time would be economic madness. Millions have absolutely been spent in making known to the world the beauties and attractions of Mount Rainier National park, the chief beauty of which is Mount Rainier, the most supreme scenic object in the United States proper. “The Rainier National Park Co., composed of public- spirited men in Seattle and Tacoma, has spent very large sums of money; they have provided the best of accommodations in the park and have advertised’ it very extensively. “Because of the advertising given the name Mount Rainier and Rainier National park by the government, the National Park service, the railroads, steamship com- panies, by all government publications, by geographies, by touring companies, by the state of Washington, by various communities,-including the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and the innumerable agencies and individuals SEATTLE, WASH., THURSDAY, APRIL 24, ‘Tacoma Dream May . The Mountain Photo copyright by Ashsel Curtis which have spent millions in advertising, Rainier is the world's best known mountain.’ | 40 ‘i “Th the last. two Yéars” Rainier has shown a larger attendance increase than any park in the national system. Attendance has jumped from 9,000 in 1909 to 123,000 in 1923. “Now, to cap the climax, the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington lines, in their million-dollar adver- tising fund, are making a great’ feature of Rainier National park. The Milwaukee railroad is this year plan- ning to feature Rainier on a scale commensurate with the advertising done by other lines for Yellowstone, Gla- cier and Yosemite parks. On April 26 this railroad will have a full-page color advertisement in the Saturday Evening Post advertising Rainier National park by that name. This ad costs $8,000 and is but one of a series. The Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific, in their advertising this year, as in the past, are featuring Rainier National park. “(HANGING the advertised name of Rainier National park and Mount Rainier would be as insane as changing the name of Ivory soap, Gillette safety razor blades or Wrigley’s chewing gum, after millions had been spent to make known a trade mark. It cannot be expected that this great outlay of money by the railroads and other companies would be continued if, for political rea- sons, the name of an internationally known park and mountain were ordered changed. “It would be first necessary to spend millions in adver- tising to get rid of the name Rainier before a start could be made to let anyone know where and what Tacoma National park is. It would be an economic crime against WOMAN SLAYS WIFE ESCAPES SHOTS MURDER DEFENSE IS FOOT, MOUTH SCARE; THOUGHT MAN, BEAST OS ANGELES, April 24.—Mra. Margaret B.

We do not see Bellingham people making any move to change the name Captain Vancouver gave to Mount Baker they do not wish to destroy the invest- ment they have already made in advertising Mount Baker. é CHANGE the name of Mount Rainier National park and Mount Rainier will mean that every government map and chart and all literature and all documents must be reprinted, and Senator Dill’s bill stipulates that the government must go to this expense. Every time table, every railroad map, every geography and innumerable other plates would have to be revised. This change would create as much confusion and ex- pense as if Yosemite park were changed to Fresno, Cali- fornia park, or Yellowstone park to Livingston, Mon- tana park, or Zion park to Salt Lake park. Imagine the confusion if the Straits of Juan de Fuca, which were named after a Spaniard, suddenly became Port Angeles straits. “It has been falsely stated by Senator Dill.on the floor of the senate that there is no real opposition in the state to this proposed change of. name. He said this in spite of the fact that more than 100 organizations had sent protests to Washington, D. C., and they came from civic bodies from Walla Walla to Aberdeen and Lew- iston, Idaho, to the Grays Harbor country. ee © “The Seattle Chamber stands for the development of the Pacific Northwest and every part in it; therein lies Seattle's destiny and Tacoma’s destiny. It is for any- thing that Tacoma wants that it can help secure that is within reason. It has proved that recently in helping Tacoma on the Camp Lewis situation. But it cannot stand for the destruction of the international prom- inence given to Mount Rainier and Rainier National park at so great a cost.” The Chamber has asked Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, who questioned Senator Dill when the bill was up for hearing Monday relative to sentiment in this state and of the history of the mountain, to request re- consideration of the vote taken Monday on the grounds that he was misinformed by the answers of Senator Dill. Press dispatches quoted Senator Dill as saying that opposition to the change was confined to a “few of the older residents of Seattle, who have the old preju- dices,” and that the mountain has borne the name “Rainier” only since 1880. The Chamber was advised today that many people within the last 24 hours have written to congressmen from the states in which they formerly lived asking them to vote against the change when the matter is considered in the house of representatiyes in the near 231 TAKEN OFF COAST SHIP jLiner Ruth “Alexander Dis- | | abled on Way to Seattle 'H.
