Treasury Notes. Treasury notes are intermediate term debt securities sold by the Treasury. Initial terms for notes are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years. A Treasury note pays a fixed rate of interest -- the coupon rate -- which is paid to an investor semi-annually.
Mount Hood (45.4N, 121.7W) is the tallest mountain in Oregon (11,237 feet, 3,426 m) and popular with skiers, hikers, and climbers. It is 45 miles (75 km) east-southeast of Portland, Oregon. Mount Hood is a stratovolcano made of lava flows, domes, and volcaniclastic deposits. Most of the volcano is andesite composition. The main cone of Mount Hood formed about 500,000 years ago. In the last 15,000 years the volcano has had four eruptive periods.
There are few more powerful symbols of the Pacific Northwest than Mt. Hood. At 11,245 feet, Mt. Hood is the highest point in Oregon, and the fourth highest peak in the Cascade Range. Like other dramatic peaks in the Cascades, Mt. Hood is a dormant volcano. Believed to have been formed 11 to 14 million years ago, Mt. Hood has had at least four major eruptive periods during the past 15,000 years. The most recent eruption occurred shortly before the arrival of Lewis & Clark in 1805.
