Portland.
Frank w. Pettygrove of Seattle has
the penny that named the city Of
Portland, Ore. On the toss of this
coin depend d the question, whether
the Willamette metropolis should be
known as Portland or Boston. Twice
the coin turned tails" and the town
was named after Portland, Me-, the
former home, of Mr.. Pettygrove's
father
A. l.. Loveioy of esachusetts, a
me '7ber of the party tat laid out
Portland, desired to J me it Boston,
after the most impcr Mt city in his
state, Pettygrove wanted to name it
Portland, after the r'ost important
city in Maine, his native state. They
agreed to toss penny, heads to be
Boston, tails to mean Portland, the
best two in three to be the choice.
Pettygrove won the first toss; Love.
joy won the second, and the third
proved to be tails and Portland 1t was.
The younger Pettygrove still has
the identical penny and would not
take any ans int of money for it. His
father kept it for a poc.get piece, and
it has been handed down to the son,
who bears his fathers name. 1t Is
dated 1885, and is one Of those large
coins in vogue at that time, about the
size of the quarter of the present day.

work of DR.. McAtee and L. E. Dilling-
ham, and were made In the Republican
office this week. The cut of the big elk
used yesterday was also their work, and
was made on three pieces of steel, there
being nothing in the Office large enough
to make it in one. After making the
parts on the three plates they cast the
cuts themselves and matched them to-
gether according to the picture in the
paper. All the pieces may be seen in
our front windows.

Cu'-ivate the Memory.

Many psople complain of having a
poor memory. and yet that faculty can
be developed as easily as can the
biceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to
20 to any professor of memory or to
master any elaborate system in order
to accomplish this result. One does
not have to go to a gymnasium to
strengthen the arm or back. Chopping
wood or rowing boat will do it.
Similarly. memory may be cultivated
Ivy an effort and amid ordinary pur-
suits.

Women Need Pockets.

Ohio State Journals: Woman's need o.
n pocket is never more clearly evident
than the last week before Christmas. AT
this joyous season her purse Is well filled
and her arms are so occupied with parcels
that she does not always maintain a firm
grip OH her shopping bag. To use their
own phrase, it is an easy matter for
crooks to relieve Santa Claus feminine
agents of their quick assets. Our news
columns of the last few days show it. :
But It will be many years, we fear. be-
fore the drcssmakers consent to allow
women to have pockets. The fit of the
gown must not be jeopardized at any cost.
The only possible excuse for mentioning
the pocket heresy at all is that our brief
remarks upon the subject serve as ar in
