WASHINGTON.

FRIEND BALDWIN MAKES A SUGGESTION, Editor of THE BEE: In my communi. cation to the Chicago Trade Journal, which you kindly copied last week, l headed it "Washington Depot' and stamped it the same with my business stamp but they changed it to Washington Station" have had one or two other Western editors do the same thing, in- cluding triend in Omaha, Neb., who addresses all his letters and papers to me at Washington "Station,' which set
 me to asking myself, why thusly? And 1 have come to the conclusion that it is because depot is as distinctly build ing as 8 church or schoolhouse and can. not correctly be made to cover & large extent of territory, or on this privilege, the people on the Green, might have the
 name of their place changed,to "Washing. ton Church" and have all mail matter addressed to "Washington Church" and bill heads and letters dated "Washington Church." or New Preston people have the name of their place changed to"New Preston Sch0olhouse" and all mail matter
 addressed to "New Preston School house., and so on. Doubtless we first got our name because the Depot was the first public building of importance after
 the railroad came, when it would be cor
 rect and proper to say "I'm going down to the depot." And after Baker 6 Brins- made established their store it was so near the depot that folks got to saying, "Pm going down to the depot," when they were going to the store and thus it covering additional territory but to have
 a depot enlarged to cover the whole hol- low and outlying edges for mile or two is expanding it far beyond it's proper di- mensions and is incongruous and absurd.
