 season and out, until he succeeded in drawing the attention of "many persons in public and private life." In 1830 he issued A Geographical Sketch of Oregon, which contained 80 pages and a map. Space does not permit a full discussion of Kelley and his difficulty in reaching Oregon, which he did in 1834. Five years before, in 1829, he drew up a plan for a city in Oregon on the peninsula between the Columbia and Willamette rivers. Real estate men note with interest the prescience of this gentleman one hundred years ago. He even got out a "prospectus." He left Oregon in 1835 and died in Massachusetts in 1874, still writing about Oregon at the age of 85 years. It is appropriate to attach Hall J. Kelley's name to the point where he predicted there would be a great city. The development of Portland is ample vindication of Kelley's judgment and nationally known docks and shipyards are within a few miles of the spot he chose for his metropolis. For information about Kelley's proposal to name mountain peaks in Oregon after various presidents, see under. For information about Kelley and his influence on N. J. Wyeth, see Scott's History of the Oregon Country, volume I, page 199. Broughton visited the mouth of the Willamette River on October 29, 1792, and named the southeastern point Belle Vue Point. However it seems apparent that at that time there was a different arrangement of channels and islands in this vicinity from that which exists today. Federal mapping agencies have applied the name Belle Vue Point to a locality on the east shore of Sauvie Island just northwest of the mouth of Willamette River. See under for additional information.

, Douglas County. S. D. Evans of Roseburg wrote the compiler in July, 1927, as follows: "The above name was given to a place kept by two brothers, Lyman and Barney Kellogg, on the Umpqua River, where freighters hauling from Scottsburg to the mines in southern Oregon found accommodations. A post office was established in early days and may be there yet, but I think it was discontinued a few years ago." This post office is no longer in operation. For additional information about Kellogg see the Oregonian, June 21, 1927, editorial page.

, Clackamas County. This stream flows into Willamette River at Milwaukie. It was named for Joseph Kellogg, a pioneer of 1848. The widened part of the stream at Milwaukie is known as Kellogg Lake.

, Lane County. Kelly Butte, near Springfield, was named for John Kelly, a native of County Wexford, Ireland, who came to Oregon from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, about 1843, in the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company. He returned to the United States and took part in the Mexican War, and came to Oregon again with the U. S. Mounted Rifles in 1849 as wagonmaster. He traded in stock between Oregon and California, and finally took a donation land claim near Roseburg. Later he became engaged in milling and other enterprises near Springfield. He married Elizabeth Parker. He was one time collector of customs in Portland, also register of the land office at Roseburg.

, Multnomah County. Kelly Butte bears the name of Clinton Kelly, a Methodist preacher, who was born in Kentucky, June 15, 1808, and came to Oregon in 1848. He took up a donation land claim east of the Willamette River, in what is now the east part of Portland. He platted Kelly's Addition to Portland. See the Oregonian, January 6, 1872, page 3. He died at Portland June 19, 1875. See OPA Transactions, 1887. His biography appears in the Oregonian, June 21, 1875,
