Now that central railroad station
| for the colony is assured near 18th ave.
| the question of haming it is beng con-
sidered. At the same time, with q view
| OF making the names OF Risley postoffice
| and Estelle station agree, it has been
| determined that the station shall here
after be called Risley. The postal au-
thorities would not permit the pOstoffice
| to adopt the stations name, because of
it's similarity to another Office in the
| same county, no, as the mountain would
| not 20 to Mahomet, Mahomet will go
to the mountain and trains will here
after go to. Risley. With this much
settled, the next thought was to make
| the central station Estelle, SO that the
name under which the colony was born
might not be lost, but here the railroad
company objected for fear of causing
confusion in train orders. Since then
other names have been proposed and
the list of involuntary candidates has
been reduced or two, Sterling and DOro-
thy, both of which have strong advo-
Gates. Dorothy is a pet of Supt. Beach,
of the South Jersey road, and is ad-
mittedly pretty name for a girl, but
Sterling is thought by Others to be a
j STRONGER title and more indicative of
worth, besides being the name of tho
president of the Hydraulic Pressed Brick
20, which owns twenty-eight acres OF
clay land near the new station. The
advocates of Sterling are not trying to
affect the political complexion Of the
colony or to change silveritPs into gold
bugs or fifty-three cent dollars into
sterling money.
