ficulty By the next legislature. The
last assembly and the governor had
pledged their support to any law that
met the requirements.
Governor Mead drove at the center
of the matter by declaring that he be-
licved the chairman could at any time
appoint the committee upon which all
seemed agreed as the needed course,
and said If the action were taken with
even fair degree of support, the ac-
ton OF the committee would most
surely receive the attention of the
legislature.
w. H. Redman, regarding the pro-
posed code, thought that out of all
the suggestions made, good law
should be obtained. He thought the
and did not believe there was any
great danger of litigation arising. Mr..
Redman recognized the necessity of
an engineer and authority to enable
him To act. lie endorsed r. X. Nj
shol's theory that the law should
govern all water regulations, drain
age well as irrigation. and he con-
Guided. we need the law and we
can't set it any too quick"
Chief Newell, speaking at the even
ing session, said the reclamation SER
vice did not desire to take the mi
tiative in the matter of securing a
code. but rather preferred the people
to obtain what they most needed. He
thought the movement was toward i'm
provement of existing laws, and not
a n q o. haa
gested. Mr.. Newell protested against
the inference that had been drawn
by some that the service officials had
any ak to grind in the selection of
any official to carry the code or
amended law.
Hon. A. ]. Splawn offered a motion
providing that the chair appoint a
committee of seven, to include three
attorneys, three practical irrigators
and one competent engineer, to be
selected from different portions OF the
state to frame an irrigation code to
be presented to the next legislature.
His motion was duly seconded. W.
Fl. Redman objected on the grounds
that some one of experience in manag-
ing canals should be included instead
Medill rose to a point of order. and
asked who was to pay the members
of the commission for their services
and expenses; also why the Yakima
Commercial Club had come to take the
initiative in appropriating the commits
sion.
Senator Splawn thought there were
many men in the state who would
be willing to act, if requested, without
recompense.
The motion was put and unanimous
ly carried. Chairman Fraser announc-
ed that he would take the matter I'M
der advisement and would announce
the committee within the next few
days.
Following the close of the irrigation
conference, an hour more was devoted
to a discussion of the subject of ad-
vertising the state of Washington, and
discussing the most effective methods
of giving publicity to the states re !.
sources and possibilities. Interesting
talks were made by Governor Mead,
Commissioner Ross, Mr.. Smith of Spo-
kane. Leigh r. Freeman and others.
Before the meeting adjourned Judge
Blandford of WalIa Walla extended a
cordial invitation to all who were in
attendance at the conference to be-
come guests of the city of Walla
Walla and its commercial club. Presl-
the Yakima Commercial Club to all
delegates remaining in the city for

POETIC NAMES FOR HOMES
Helps for People Seeking Titles that
Mean Something and Are "Beau-
tifully Me1odious."

Many a happy cottager is indebted to
that virile thinker. Mr.. Edward Box, for
his suggestions that Indian words be Sc
iected as names of country and suburban
homes The old Crest Ridges" and Rose
Dales" and ''Woodlawns'' have suffered a
staggering blow under the masculine on
slaught Of Mr.. Box and such dreamy, sug-
gestive, musical names as Egchugluk
Guntbunk, Snoqualmie and Matakakwat
have supplanted them, each telling it's
poetic tale Mr.. Box insists that these
Indian names are not only beautifully
melodious," but full Of poetic meaning"
There is no doubt of IL. Look at this of
names for country homes which the crea-
tive Box submits:
Tekenink, meaning I'm the woods"
Wompanand, meaning God OF the dawn"
Munnohannit, meaning ION an island"
EI2SS vE, meaning Near BY the river"
Nanokomuk; meaning "A landing place"
Wadchukontu, meaning Among the
Wosumonk. meaning brightness"
sowania, meaning "Southerners."
Wastena, meaning Pretty"
NeboshshOn, meaning Bend OF q river"
Ishpiming, meaning "Above ALL"
Kemah, meaning I'm the face of the
Mushkoday, meaning "Meadowland."
Pshata, meaning Blue hills"
Acting upon the hint, a friend of the
Post and of mankind has scanned the lists
of the Indian Office and extracted num-
Der of melodious and poetic names which
may serve admirably In designating subur-
ban homes, apartments etc. In some of
them the Box muse is palpably distanced
The Box suggestion for an inn or road
house is Wehpittituck. meaning LET us
eat together" How much more musical
ant and motto ta
kids there7" Or Honkahonk, meaning
Song of the red devil2' AS for suburban
homes, our contributor fills a long-felt
want by furnishing names which are In
hercntly poetic, while subtly conveying a
hint OF actual conditions. There is COM
bination OF beauty and utility in his Sc
lections which seems to be wanting in the
Box list. few, taken at random, with
out rhyme or reason, may be cited:
Chukaluk, meaning 'Tnstallment villa"
u, Hnkamote, meaning washing on the
P,ishaming. meaning Land of the mos
Noloniti, meaning View of the car line"
Ogmatuck. meaning "Neighbors fool
Moomooantic, meaning Cows in the
wanota, meaning mot much malaria"
Nardnik, meaning Divorced"
ppseeNWhiS' meaning Uphill pull"
Onions" ="
Wakamup, meaning Rooster fight at
dawn"
There are other highly suggestive and
poetic Indian names which might be COM
piled by real estate agents and given to
prospective buyers. Indian folklore is pc
cuiarly rich in these directions Some OF
the names are a little highly spiced.

RAILROADSSPENDT THOUSANDS
Make Improvements and Expansion on
Gigantic Scale in Douglas,
UNION PACIFIC AND NORTHWESTERN LEAD
Formers Series of shop Buildings and
Cut-On and Latter's Vast Ter
minaIs Latest Moves In
This Direction.

Thousands upon thousands Of dollars
have been expended by railroads in Omaha
within the last year or two; in fact, this
great campaign of improvement and ex-
pansion has been going on for more than
two or even two times two years, but in
the immediate past enormous expenditures
have been made. To say nothing of the
completion of the Illinois Central bridge
the establishment of the Great Western
terminals, the Union Pacific and North
western are now engaged in the process
Of laying out cold thousands within the
limits Of Omaha, and the influence Of these
gigantic expenditures will reach far into
years to come in behalf OF Omaha, Me-
braska and the vast west behind them.
The Union Paciho's expansion includes
new shop buildings already built and I'M
der way. new car shops which will be built
before fall, commissary building, the
Lane CUTOFF the double track to Valley
and trackage in Omaha. Announcement
also was made by General Manager Mob
Ter some time ago that a new headquar-
tiers building was to be erected. Mr.. Moh-
Ter made this announcement before he had
secured his site, and before this was
bought the price of every available sito
was raised out of reach of even as rich q
corporation as the Union Pacific.
Some Buildings Now I'm Use.
The sum Of 100000 was set aside for the
shops buildings, which are now completed
or under way. These include a complete
office building. Mr.. McKeen, superinten-
dent Of motive power and machinery, had
ideas Of his own, which he carried out In
the construction of this building. He has
bath rooms, Longing rooms, reading rooms
with library and every modern convenience
with plenty OF working room. A stripping
shed also was built which is something
new for railroad shops yard. Generally
the engines are stripped in the open air
and the parts left to lie around. Here Is u
building, which cost $4,000. which is used
to house old material. These new buildings
are in accord with all the rest Of the
shops. The sum of $4,000 has been set
aside for new car shops and the most
complete shops of any In the country will
soon be under way. The plans are COM
pleted and the contracts will soon be let.
In these shops 1t is the idea of Mr.. Moh-
Ter and Mr.. McKeen to be prepared to
manufacture new steel cars, which modern
railroading will demand. The advantage
OF these new steel cars Is so apparent to
all that the road is forced to make some
fast move toward replacing the old
wooden variety. These steel cars are still
in the experimental stage and are now
being worked out by Superintendent Nc
Keen. Steel cars built on the lines of the
wooden ones, are too heavy and bulky
and some new designs will be worked out
which will make better use of the added
strength of steel and still reduce the
weight. Mr.. McKeen worked out this idea
considerably when he built some OF his
motor cars. which are of steel.
