Not a moment was lost in getting

swamped. we got 1t anoat.
Ned Carlton and Probart. the car

BY the wild. weird glare that rose
in frlghtful columns from the main

The grounds and buildings have

WESTERN NOMENCLATURE.

Movoment to Change the Curious,
Quaint Names of Oregon Towns.
1t is difficult to shake off the names
attached to streams and mountains by
the pioneers of new country. With
few exceptions Washington state has
Jared well in nomenclature. In a ma
jority of instances Indian names have
been retained. and usually they are
easy and poetical. But in some cases
the individuality OF the first settlers
prompted them to an effort to improve
on the native names of streams and
sections, and in some instances they
were not happy In their originality.
The word Hangman has clung to the
little stream which skirts Spokane on
its western border and repeated spas
modic efforts to center the public mind
on the more melodious name Latah
have failed of their purpose. Now Sem
ator Plummer of this county has intro
duced a bill at Olympia to make thir
change and as no objection can attach
to the measure 1t will probably pass,
and may exert sufficient force to bring
about the desired change. A few
years ago an esthetic movement swept
through the Oregon legislature. and
number of pioneer names were turncl
down for more polite ones. The good
people of Alkali. in eastern Oregon.
imagined that the name was not one
to conjure eastern capital, and dropp
it for Arlington. new name was de-
vised for Bully creek. and Yaller Dog
and Bake Oven were tabooed as primi-
tive and unpoetic. Bake Oven has ad-
hered, and Is still the name of a post
office. Indeed, much room remains
for Improvement of the nomenclature
of Oregon, which includes in its list
of postofIlces the towns of Burnt
Ranch, Gooseberry, Haystack. Lobster,
Long Tom, Mule, Shake, Shlrk, Starve-
out. and Sucker. A few names in Ida
