House owners are sometimes, rather
unfortunate In their selection OF. names
for their abodes, and In suburbiaY house.
naming Is occasionally rather ludicrous.
Thus The Naples" has never q ma
pie near, 1.-THE Rosary" only exists In
imagination. "Sunnyside'' il the most
depressing villa residence, and houses
named after the English lakes no more
suggest the lake district than Fleet
street suggests the Bots de Boulogne.
The AngIo-saxon WORD "hyrst," sig
nIfying a forest or wood. has become
hurst in house naming, and wood
and 'holt" have the same meaning.
All house names ending with these ter
limitations are pretty and not unsafe to
choose.
1t is curious to note that In Hastings
and St Leonar6s quite a number OF
houses have typicaIly Saxon names,
perhaps to commemorate the great
Saxon tragedy OF which tho name
Hastings is reminiscent.

IMPORTANT DECISION

A matter of great importance to the southeastern portion of Alaska is the fact that the appellate court at San Francisco has sustained the decision of Judge Wickersham in the case of c. M. Thorndyke, ct al. versus the Alaska Perseverance Company In regard to the decision the Juneau Transcript says
 "The suit was brought to enjoin the defendant company from the use of the waters of Lurvey Creek, the evidence in the record showing that the corpora tion's grantor posted a notice on the east branch of the creek and diverted the water below the junction of the two branches. It was shown that the cor poration never used over 150 inches of water until after the time of the plain tiff's location and diversion and diver sion, but it also appeared that the com pany was all this time prosecuting it's work in the opening up of and develop ing of its mines and gradually appro- priating the water and applying 1t to beneficial use as circumstances required, and Judge Wickersham held that the corporation had shown due diligence in prosecuting their diversion of the water, despite the length of time intervening.
 "Probably no case from Alaska has ever caused so much harsh comment as has this case. The Seattle papers at the time were filled with adverse opinions from Alaska lawyers and others, and Judge Wickersham was the recipient of much blame for the decision he made. The appellate court, however, fully up- holds his views of the matter, and even the bitterest enemies of the judge should now be thankful that a man of his abil- fly and learning heard the case.
 "The decision is of particular import ance to Juneau, for it means that the big mines in the basin will now be prac- tically free from the litigation that for years has retarded their full develop ment. What the full operation of these mines will mean to the city can not be estimated ln Collars and cents, for 1t is conservative to make the statement that there is enough ore to make dozen Treadwells.
 "The case has been an expensive one, and both sides have poured out money like water, each side believing itself in the right. Now that decision has been reached it is hoped that the bitter ami mosities engendered will be forgotten. MT. Thorndyke and his associates are said to own much other ground as rich as any in the Perseverance locations All parties to the case should work to- gether in harmony, standing shoulder to shoulder for the best interests of tue district"
