from country to country, from the
Italian Cimabue down to the modern
men, Whistler, Sargent, the French i'm
pressionist Monet, and Japanese Gaho.

MILLIONS OF TROUT
Streams Stocked by Denver G Rio
Grande Railroad.

Fishing is going to be unusually
good along the lines of the Denver <
Rio Grande railroad in the next two or
three years. 1t is good every summer,
because for some years past the
streams have been systematically
stocked all over the state, but it is
bound to be better. More was done in
that direction in 1905 than ever be-
fore. Maj. S. X. Hooper has been hav-
ing some figures made showing the
number of fish put out. In the year
1904 the road transported and helped
place G,32G,O0O young trout in the
streams. OF these 1880 900 came from
the state hatchery.
/. Last year the Denver & Rio Grande
distributed 100000 young fish in Col.
orado and Utah. OF these 2,967 200
came from the state hatcheries and 4,
100000 came from the government
hatchery at Leadville. The fish are
put in when about two inches long and
big enough to care for themselves
They were about equally divided as

Ancestry of Washington Can Be
Traced for Centuries.

The name Washington is derived
from that of the town in Durham
England, which was originally Was
singatun-the town of Wass. Accord
ing to tradition, Wass-this name is
now found in the London directory
colonized Britain long before the Nor
man conquest. If Wass is derived
from the old Morse word hvass, the
original meaning is keen. bold: hence.
perhaps, the illustrious name Gustavus
Vasa, king of Sweden.
Before the name Washington was
evolved, many changes We're rung on
the original orthograph - Wassinga-
tun. Among different forms were
Wessyngton, Weissigton, Weissing-
ton, Whessyngton, Whesshyngton,
Wassengtone, Washington, Washing
ton-finally Washington. Even Ques-
sington is one variation. The village
of Wassingatun is mentioned in a
charter granted by King Edgar in 973
In Tennessee we have a town called
Wessyngton.
The settlers in this country were
the great-grandfather of George Wash.
