above sea level, and 1869 feet above lake level. A bay at its foot is called Llao Bay. These two features were named by Will G. Steel on August 15, 1885, for a Klamath Indian deity supposed to be associated with the lake. The rock was once called Mount Jackson for Colonel James Jackson, U. S. A., veteran of Indian wars and a well-known resident of Portland for many years. He was at one time in command at Fort Klamath.
LLEWELLYN, Lane County. Llewellyn was about eleven miles west of Eugene on the old Crow stage road, where it crossed Coyote Creek. The post office was established February 18, 1886, with Mrs. Lilias Llewellyn Perkins first of three postmasters. The office was discontinued September 17, 1904, due to the extension of rural free delivery. The name was of course taken from Mrs. Perkins' middle name. Henry Clay Perkins, her husband, was a prominent pioneer farmer and nurseryman, who had a place on Coyote Creek.
LOBSTER CREEK, Curry County. This stream is tributary to Rogue River a few miles above Wedderburn. It was doubtless named for the native crawfish or crayfish, as there are no real lobsters in Oregon waters, although there are many on land. The name was applied in very early days. Glisan, in Journal of Army Life, mentions the name several times when he was stationed at Fort Orford in 1855-56 and indicates that the expression Lobster Creek was already established and well known. There is another Lobster Creek in Lincoln, Benton and Lane counties, apparently named for the crawfish, but the compiler does not know the circumstances. A post office called Lobster was established on the Benton County list in March, 1883. It was in operation until July, 1896. Old maps show the place in Lobster Creek valley about a mile east of the west boundary of Benton County.
LOCKIT, Wasco County. Lockit is a station on the Oregon Trunk Railway named with the Chinook jargon word for four, since it was the fourth station from the north end of the line up Deschutes River. Lockit BUTTE, Deschutes County. Lockit Butte, in the north part of Paulina Mountains, is named with the Chinook jargon word for four, it being the fourth butte of a series named all at the same time by the Forest Service.
LOCODA, Columbia County. Locoda is a station on Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway northeast of Clatskanie. It was formerly called Bradbury. The name Locoda was made by taking letters from the corporate title of the Lower Columbia Co-operative Dairy Ass'n and telescoping them into one word. Locust GROVE, Douglas County. A pioneer post office with the name Locust Grove was established on the Umpqua County list on February 9, 1858, with Richard Smith first and only postmaster. The office was discontinued September 10, 1863. Locust Grove, which was obviously given a descriptive name, was in one of the parts of Umpqua County that was annexed to Douglas County. Locust Grove was on the route of travel about six miles south of Yoncalla on the road to Oakland, but the compiler does not know its exact location. Old maps show it near what is now known as Rice Hill.
LOG CABIN, Klamath County. Log Cabin post office was short lived. It was situated at the Log Cabin service station and lunch rooms on The Dalles-California Highway about five and a half miles south of the north boundary of Klamath County. The post office operated from June 13,
