The Washington Historical Quarterly Vol 1

Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906 In the Pacific Northwest - composed for historical purposes of Oregon, Washington and Idaho - \vashington is the most rep resentative of them all. She has practically as many Indian and American names, and more English, Spanish and French names than either of the other two states. Oregon has a few Spanish names; Idaho has none; both Oregon and Idaho have a few French terms. ()wing to the presence and activity of the Hud son's Bay Company, \vashington has more designations of Eng lish and Indian sources due to the Englishmen than either of the other states. Indian names are well scattered through them all: while both Indian and American, in their proportion in the three states, depend upon the demand for names bv the increasing population.
