Of the Colorado river INTO the Salton
Sink and the havoc ii is causing. is ad-
mirably set forth in the May issue Of

text and pictures Of the localities with
which 1t Is accompanied, give a vivid
idea of what the mon have to face who
are sent out to save the fertile valleys
which the flood has threatened so seri-
ously.
II IS a tale which gives n wonderful
conception Of the power OF water uncon-
trolled and the writer. Wilbur Bassott,
has handled It very we'll indeed. His des-
cription OF the conditions which have
brought about the present state Of things
In the valleys which extend back for
miles from the river banks, and his tale
of the rivers terrible destruction of
every barrier which has been set before
It Is very remarkable. How the water
has cut its way down through the soft,
yielding silt OF which the surface soil "a
composed, and what 1t will do IL It Is
allowed to go on unchecked-or II the en-
%Ginecrs fail IN their efforts to check II,

NAMING OF OUR CITIES.
Embassador bryce Calls Attention TO
the Difficulties Caused by DUPLICATION.
G'rom the Washington Herald.)

GHrom the Washington Herald)
Shortly after he returned to Washing
ton from his recent visit to Canada. James
Bryce, ambassador extraordinary and
pleuipotentiarv from the British govern
ment to this capital, voiced a complaint
which. We are sure. reflects the senti-
ments of practically every American ci.,-
zen. He declared that there are alto
gether too many Implications Of the names
of postoflces In the United States ana
Canada, and said that should lie at any
time he inclined TO embark on a reform
movement It would be in the direction Of
a revision of such names.
There can be no doubt that the British
ambassadors charge is we'll founded.
While he was in Canada, for instance, he
wrote a number of dispatches to his gov
ernmcn' and addressed them 20 London.
They were promptly sent to London. Ont.
Similarly, practically every one of the
United States contains a town called
Washington, and many of them have
counties of that name. The names Of
presidents have been used commonly.
there being 20 towns in this country which
are called Jackson and 40 which are called
jefferson. 20 say nothing Of II Buchanans,
81 '''NfliflCS ava III ROOSPNeltS.
The names OF men arc also in general
use the country over. thcre being 50 post
offices to which have been applied the
names Of Williamsburg or W%illiamstown
or Williamsville. or some other form Of
the Christian name William. No less than
go %postohlces bear names OF which the
work "oak" is the basis-Oakdale. Oak
vile, Oakview, etc, and similar cases are
the rule rather than the exception. This
will furnish AZ least an idea of the trials
and tr!bulatiOns Of the governments pos
tai clerks, TO say nothing of the enormous
number of people who use tho mails.
The officials OF the postofice depart
ment. might. with rropricty. we think.
give some attention to this matter. Names
which arc proposed for new postoflces
are submitted to them for approval. 50
that 1t Is quite within their power to pre-
vent Implications in tho future, even
though they may not take steps to bring
order out of the chaos caused hy tho he
stowal Of the same name on many differ
ent towns in the past.
Of course. il is not easy to find design
tons which have not been given to some
Of the thousands and thousands of post
offices already in existence. but tho tasli
IS not Impossible by any means, notwith-
standing the circumstances that one town
