[edit] table format

I find the tables of voters visually a bit jarring. I just found a set of templates that might be an improvement, like this: -Pete 04:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Pleasant M. Armstrong Ira Babcock Dr. William J. Bailey Alanson Beers J.C. Bridges Hugh Burns Charles Campo William Cannon Harvey L. Clark

Medorem Crawford Amos Cook Allen J. Davie William M. Doughty George W. Ebberts Francis Fletcher George Gay Joseph Gale William H. Gray John S. Griffin Webley John Hauxhurst David Hill Joseph Holman John Howard

Gustavus Hines Thomas J. Hubbard William Johnson L.H. Judson George W. Le Breton David Leslie Reuben Lewis Étienne Lucier François X. Matthieu Joseph Meek William McCarty Charles McKay Robert Moore John L. Morrison

Robert Newell James A. O’Neil J.L. Parrish John Edmunds Pickernell James R. Robb Osborne Russell Robert Shortess Alvin T. Smith Sidney Smith Solomon H. Smith Calvin Tibbetts David Weston Caleb Wilkins A.E. Wilson W.H. Willson

Works for me, the original didn't look great but a long single column list would have looked worse. Aboutmovies 07:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Names

The final list of those chosen to implement things ends with a "Doty", but that name is not on the lists of those voting above. Given all the other names are on the list of those voting in favor, I suspect (but do not know) that this name should be "Doughty". Was this an entry typo, or is there an issue in the historical record? -PeteJacobsen 02:36pm 7 October 2007 (PDT) —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I just noticed this post. The thing is with the early period is records are scarce, and mispellings abound. Unlikely it was just plain Doty, but both a William Daugherty and William Doughty appear in the records, though I'm sure it is the same person. As to which of those is correct, I'm not sure, but the Men of Champoeg book is propably a good place to look. Aboutmovies (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Champoeg name

Anyone have an Oregon Geographic Names book by chance with some name origin theories? Personally, I think it was Native American and Champoo-ick, but the pronunciation slowly changed to Cham-poo-ig. Then the Americans thinking it was French bastardized it by pronouncing it Champooee. But I don;t think I've seen that exact theory out there. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:22, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
