changed the name to Roy. A post office was established in 1882 with the name Roy. The compiler does not know the reason for selecting either of the names Frankfort or Roy. In 1880 a narrow gage railroad was built through the locality and in the following year a station was established with the name Fillmore, in compliment to James M. Fillmore, an official of the railroad company. Father Adelhelm Odermatt had received his theological training at Engelberg in Switzerland, came to Oregon in 1881, and was soon in charge of the parishes at Gervais, Fillmore and Sublimity. After overcoming many difficulties, Father Odermatt succeeded in establishing a Benedictine community in Gervais in 1882-83. In 1883 a pilgrimage chapel was built on the summit of Lone Butte or Tapalamaho, and in the same year Father Odermatt applied the name Mount Angel to the butte and the community. He had the name Mount Angel adopted both for the railroad station and for the post office and the old designations Fillmore and Roy were discarded. In 1884 the Benedictine establishment was moved from Gervais to Mount Angel. See under SAINT BENEDICT. For history of Mount Angel and its Benedictine institutions, see Mt. Angel, Oregon, 1848-1912, by Sister Ursula Hodes, University of Oregon Thesis Series, No. 20. T. W. Davenport, in OHQ, volume V, page 36, says the Indian name for the butte southeast of Mount Angel was Tap-a-lam-a-ho, indicating a mountain used by the Indians for communion with the Great Spirit. Early settlers called it Lone Butte, Lone Tree Butte, and also Graves Butte for John P. Graves, a nearby resident. The new name Mount Angel quickly superseded the old forms.
MOUNT ASHLAND, Jackson County. This mountain lies about eight miles due south of Ashland and was named for that community. In the past it has been known as Ashland Peak and .sometimes Siskiyou Peak. Of late years there has been a strong tendency to use the name Mount Ashland and that form is shown on the USGS map of the Medford quadrangle, published in 1938. The new style is apparently here to stay. The elevation is now accepted as 7530 feet. Accurate mapping indicates that Siskiyou Peak, elevation 7147 feet, is about three miles to the southwest. The two points were formerly confused one for the other.
MOUNT AVERY, Curry County. This mountain is near the headwaters of Sixes River. It was named for Frederick S. Avery, who owned a small ranch just west of the mountain and lived there for many years. Mount Avery has an elevation of 2613 feet.
MOUNT BAILEY, Douglas County. This is an important peak in the Cascade Range and has an elevation of 8363 feet. It lies west of Diamond Lake. The writer has been unable to get much information as to the origin of the name. Older maps show the mountain as Old Baldy and Old Bailey. It is possible that Old Bailey is the result of a draftsman's error. The summit of the mountain has a bald, burntover appearance. The compiler has found no record of any person named Bailey connected with the peak, but it has been known as Mount Bailey for many years. Will G. Steel wrote in 1927 that the Klamath Indian name for the mountain was Youxlokes, which meant Medicine Mountain. According to Indian tradition, the medicine men and priests often feasted on the summit of this mountain and communed with the upper world.
