and without doing any offense to their
sense of propriety. Cleanliness is next

conduct. 1t may not be a virtue Of

Strange Freak of Fate.

Says the Portland Oregonian: 1T is
the belief Of some historians that the
name Oregon is .Aragon in disguise,
that it was given to this country by
the early Spanish voyagers and that
American explorers so interpreted the
word given them by the Indians. The
theory is at least plausible and indi-
Gates strange freak of fate. The
name Spain proudly brought to this
distant coast returned to the West In
dies 800 years later to destroy the
power of Spain on the seas. Little
thought De Euca when he sighted this
coast in 1892 that some day it would
b.ild 4 wacship which. under the name
Of Aragon. or Oregon, would be lore
most in tic battle that marked the END
of Srain's dominion in the new world.
