 to death before he was 27 years of age. He was a revolutionist in South America for several years, then returned to Italy in 1848 to join the revolution in that country. Then for more than 15 years he was for the most part engaged in military activities connected with the establishment and early period of the kingdom of Italy. He died in 1882. The compiler has been unable to associate Joseph C. Champion with the naming of Garibaldi in 1848. In 1848 Garibaldi was just starting the most active part of his career, and it is doubtful if anyone in Oregon knew much about him at that time. Champion was the first white settler in what is now Tillamook County, having come from Astoria by boat in 1850. Champion lived in Garibaldi, but not, however, until he had lived at other places in the county. Garibaldi post office was established August 9, 1870, with Daniel D. Bayley first postmaster. This was apparently the third post office in Tillamook County, although the office at Nehalem may have been established the same day. The Nehalem record is not clear. William Ralston became postmaster on September 17, 1873, and the office is shown as closed on February 29, 1876. Garibaldi office was opened again on February 2, 1880. The name was changed to Hobsonville February 6, 1883. It may be assumed that the office was moved to a new location at Hobsonville, although these early post office records do not contain information about moving of offices. The office at Hobsonville was closed October 26, 1887, and the business was transferred back to Garibaldi, where an office had been reopened September, 1886. Except for a couple of interruptions, the Garibaldi office has been in operation ever since.

GARLINGHOUSE LAKE, Benton County. This is a small slough lake northeast of Monroe. Its elevation is 265 feet. It was named for William Garlinghouse, a pioneer settler nearby.

GARNER, Klamath County. Garner Lundy, a young man living on the east edge of Klamath County, had his first name perpetuated at Garner post office, which was established June 7, 1902, at a point about four miles airline north of Bly. This post office was across the creek from the George Boyd home ranch, in section 14, township 36 south, range 14 east. Jessie M. Boyd was the only postmaster. She ran the office until June 3, 1903. Garner Lundy is said to have been the first student in the local school.

Garrison, Linn County. Garrison post office was in the locality later known as Upper Soda, and was established August 9, 1892, with Charles H. Foster first of five postmasters. The office was closed November 30, 1904. In September, 1946, William R. Mealey of Foster was kind enough to supply some history of various post offices in the vicinity of the South Santiam River, and said that Foster was the prime mover in getting the post route established as far as his home. He was given the privilege of naming his office, which he did with the family name of his mother-in-law, a Mrs. Garrison.

GARRISON BUTTE, Deschutes County. This small butte is about seven miles north of Sisters and just south of the Jefferson-Deschutes county line. While the evidence is not conclusive, it is probable that the butte was named because of its proximity to Camp Polk, an establishment built in the Indian wars, 1865-66. The site of the camp is about five miles south of the butte. The compiler has been unable to learn of any local resident named Garrison.
