280 ning Creek in the northeast part of the county. It was named for the Haas family, pioneer sheepmen.

, Linn County. This stream is near the South Santiam Highway. It rises in Tombstone Prairie just east of Tombstone Summit and flows eastward into Fish Lake. It bears the name of Abram Hackleman, one of the first settlers in Albany and one of the organizers of the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain WagonRoad Company. Hackleman was born in 1831 and came to Oregon in 1847. He moved to Crook County about 1880. His name is often spelled Abraham, which is wrong, according to a letter from Willard L. Marks of Albany, dated February 26, 1943.

, Lane County. Hadleyville is the name of a locality on Coyote Creek about four miles southeast of Crow. Recent maps show a Hadleyville school in the area. Hadleyville was named for a local family. For biography of H. G. Hadley, an Oregon pioneer who settled in Lane County in the early '50s, see Illustrated History of Lane County, page 486. Hadleyville post office was established October 3, 1890, with Frank Hadley the first of four postmasters. The office was closed to Crow on October 31, 1903.

, Lake County. Hager Mountain, about ten miles south of the town of Silver Lake, was at one time known as Hagerhorst Mountain for a pioneer settler in Silver Lake Valley. For many years it has been called by its modern name, which seems well established. The Klamath Indian name for Hager Mountain was Chok-chock-lisk-se. Some old maps call it Bald Butte.

, Multnomah County. About 1889 a real estate addition was laid out in the southeast part of what is now Portland by Louis and Maria Feurer. This addition lies a little to the south southeast of Powell Boulevard. Most of the streets were given German names, presumably by the Feurers. These German street names became subject to criticism in World War I and some of them were changed. As is natural with an activity of this sort there was a good deal of confusion. The name Karl Street was changed to Haig in honor of the great British field marshal. At the time of World War II so much traffic developed north of the Brooklyn yards that it was necessary for the Southern Pacific Company to extend its double track southward through east Portland. The railroad adopted the name Haig for the end of this section of double track and a station with this name was established for operating purposes.

, Baker County. F. W. Castor, postmaster at Haines in 1926, informed the writer that the community was named for "Judge" I. D. Haines, of Baker, who owned land on which the town was situated. The community was started in 1883, the year before the railroad was constructed through Baker Valley. The post office was established in November, 1884, with Florence A. Dorsett first postmaster. For story about the early history of Haines, see Baker Record Courier, July 2, 1936.

, Lane County. Hale post office was near Elk City about five miles northwest of the place now called Noti, and was given the family name of the postmaster, George H. Hale. The office was established August 4, 1886, and was closed out to Elmira on May 23, 1907. Lumbering was the chief industry.

, Linn County. Hale Butte is about two miles west of Jefferson and has an elevation of 427 feet. It was named for Milton Hale,
