Gary, thanks but  I'm afraid I'm not going to earn that beer.  I've had a love-hate relationship with Mathew Deady for more than  20 years, ever since  I discovered his marvelous diary.  But if I had to make the call on the denaming I'm still not sure what I'd say. 

 As Leroy Lane's article today suggests, our brain prefers simple, black and white answers.  And there's none of that here for those who really  know  Oregon history, Deady and read the historians' report.
   Cheers,  Doug
