How the Months Got Their Name

The months Of the year obtained
their names from widely varying
sources. January was named from the
Roman god Janus, the deity with two
faces, one looking to the east and the
other toward the west. February comes
from the Latin word februo, to purify.
1t was the ancient Roman custom to
hold festivals Of publication during
that month. March owes its name to
an old god Of war. Among the Sax
ons this month was known as lenst,
meaning spring, which was the origin
of our word Lent. 1t is claimed by
some that April was named from the
Latin word aperire, open, in significa-
ton of the opening buds. In Saxon
days it was called eastre, in honor of
Eastra, the goddess Of spring, from
which comes our word Easter. May
was named after Maia, the Roman
goddess of growth or increase, and
June was from the Latin juvenis
(young). Julius Caesar himself named
July in his own honor, and August was
likewise named by Augustus Caesar.
September is from the Latin word sep
tenn, meaning seven, it being the sew
enth month of the year according to
the old Roman calendar, and October.
November and December likewise re-
tain the names they were known by In
the old Roman calendar.

Notes on the Fair.

People who visit the Fair will
find places to get something to
eat. Besides the hotels, restur-
ants, boarding houses and lunch
counters the women of the town
are providing places where meals
and lunches will be served,
notices of which appear elese-
where, and it is hoped no visitor
will be forced to wait an un-
reasonable time for meals or go
hungry.
S. L. Kline has given the
w. c. T. U. ladies free use the
Mrs. Lille King boarding house
on Third street, during the Fair.
The house is furnished through
out and Mr.. Kline donates the
use of furniture, beds, bedding
and cooking utensils and the
ladies are to rent rooms and
serve meals, the money to go to
the w. c. T. U.
The undertaking is praise
worthy from the standpoint of
Mr.. Kline's generosity and the
ladies' as well, and being close to
the court house square the place
will no doubt be literally patro-
nized.

to a slip of the pen that he joined

EASY WAYTo ADVERTIsEsTkTE
And Tell Our Eastern Friends All
A bout the Superior Opportunities
We Possess.

On April z9th last the Oregonian pub
lished a special industrial edition devot-
ed exclusively to the exploitation of
Oregon. 1t probobly contained more
special and miscellaneous inform ton
about Oregon than any one publication
that has ever been issued. 1t is peculiar
ly useful and valuable to- the home-
seeker, because it gives the latest and
most reliable information about so many
different subjects that the homeseeker is
naturally interested in. Almost every
department of industry is specialized,
and both descriptive and statistical in
formation of highly valuable character
is given extensively and in tertaining
form. j 5's
Residents of Oregon who know its ad-
vantages as compared with the congest-
ed and depleted East, and who still have
friends back there whom they would like
to see here enjoying the good things OF
this favored state, can aid in splendid
work now without cost and very little
effort. If you think your friend would
be interested in knowing more about
Orego and might eventually become
valuable citizen, send his name and adj
dress to the general passenger agent of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany Southern Pacific at Portland, and
copy of this special edition, with COM
plete summary of the several subjects
treated carefully indexed, will be mailed
10 him promptly. In this manner you
will be the means not only of doing your
friend good turn, but helping to stimu-
late the growth and prosperity of Ore
gon.
Don't forget that commencing Septem-
Der 1st and continuing daily fol two
months, tickets will be on sale at almost
every railroad station in the East to all
points in Oregon and the Northwest at
what has come to be popularly known as
"colonist rates." These rates are the
cheapest general long distance rates ever
established. and enable one to reach
Oregon from any part of the United
States at but trife more than one cent
mile. They are the greatest incentive
to colonization and progressive home
building of any known agency, and if the
restless, dissatisfied resident of the East
is made to know before hand the advant-
ages he can enjoy here, the problem is
solved, and the star OF empire will con-
tlnue to move steadily westward.
Now is the time to spread the gospel OF
Oregon, so that it may be heard and
needed by the time the rates 60 into
effect. Send one name or two, or q
dozen, and you will be exerting worthy
influence toward the upbuilding Of our
state. Send them to your nearest South

the small boy nodded, and the doctor
laid the little blue flower carefully in

Unpaid bills were the reason that, in

had not indulged in romance. Notwith-

That night he took an account of

he must still travel the path of loneli-
