PRESIDENTS WESTERN TRIP.
Will Probably Start About the Mid
die of August.

Washington. July 1.-Senator Carter
of Montana called upon the president
today to present him with formal invi-
tations to visit Great Falls, Helena,
Butte and Missoula when he goes west
on his trip. The president says he has
not abandoned his intention 20 make a
western trip if conditions permit. but
stated that he would not be able to at
tempt the trip before the middle Of
August. He could not fix date and
could not say positively that he would
go. He could only say that he desired
to go.
The president added that he would
like to pass through Montana after the
Montana regiment in the Philippines
had come home. This is taken to in
dictate that the president will start on
his western trip late in the summer
and that he will try to go to a number
of the western states which furnished
volunteer troops in the Philippines. In
this way he will be able to shake hands
with the returned soldiers.

DIR. Drummer is not highly pleased

are misleading. The years taken for

st. Louis Man Suggests "Usona"
For United States.
WOULD BE ALL OUR OWN
NEITHER CANADIANS NOR MEX
ICANS COULD CLAIM 1T.
It Is Formed From the Initials of
the Omitted States of North
America" and Has Dis
tinctive Significance - A Term
That Is Agreeable to the Ear.

st Louis. July 1.-The Republic to-
morrow will publish. with favorable
editorial comment, an article furnished
by Professor Waterhouse of Washing
ton university, this city, on the sub
ject of a proper name for this country,
the chief points of which are as fol-
lows:
At present there is no proper name
that distinctively describes this coun-
try. Columbia and America apply to
the whole western hemisphere. The
people of Canada and Mexico, of Gen.
trail and South America, are all Amer
leans, and might justly resent the pre-
tensions which claim that title exclu-
sively for the inhabitants of the United
States of North America.
THE United States is an awkward
expression. 1t is plural in form and
singular in sense 1t does not afford
personal or adjective derivitives United
Statesmen and United Statesian are
unadmissably harsh.
United States of North America is
an exact designation of this country
The first letters of these words form
the word 'Usona-" This term is agree
able to the ear singular in number
and precise in definition. Its introduce
ton will substitute for the incomplete
United States an address so full and
exact that no foreigner could misun-
derstand it.
Our Present Name a Burlesque.
Formerly the press indicated that it's
general information was gathered from
the four quarters of the globe by plac-
ing at the heads of it's columns, North,
East, West, South" From the mi
tials of these words some assert that
the term news was derived.
1t is facetiously said that "U. s."
stands for Uncle Sam and this bur-
lesque personification has found a per-
manent place in our language. The
baptismal names of Generals Grant
and Jackson have been supplanted by
the universally used names which act
or valor give. Physicists have in
vested the utterly inexpensive Watt,
Volt. Ohm and Ampere with the tech
nical meanings and have introduced
them into the Technology of electrical
science.
If fine use can create and popularize
new terms, do not the words ''Usona"
and 'Usanian" so fully subserve the
needs of exact address and grammat-
ical convenience as to deserve a place
in our language?
The press can, if it will, effect the
adoption of these new words.

Baum fifteen months.

able cause and Alexander will remain I'M
der bonds pending his appeal to the su-
preme court. The question involved is
whether or not a certain section of the

the cattle were taken from near the boun-
dairy line of Summit and Wasatch coun-
ties that the jurisdiction would then be in
