FEMININE NAMES IN OREGON.

SOIuS udyS ago inquiry was
made of The Oregonian by stu
dent of Agricultural College at
Corvallis about the origin of the
name of Mary's River and of
Mary's Peak, near this place.
These names were given by Adam
E. Wimple, earliest actual settler
there. He was from Oneida
County, New York; was a bach
eIor, and named the town Marys-
vile, for his sister Mary, who
never was in Oregon; and gave
her name also to Mary's River
and to Mary's Peak. He said,
I will make my sisters name
known forever ="
But Marysville was a name so
commonly used that the Legis-
lature at an early time, while
Oregon was still a territory,
changed the name to Corvallis.
The territorial capital was once
changed from Salem to that
place, but after much wrangling
was soon taken back to Salem.
At the time when the name Of
Marysville was changed to Cor
wallis the name of Albany was
changed to Tekenab, but the
name failed to obtain spprovai
and ALBANY" was restored.
Feminine names are not abund
ant in the geographical nomen-
clature of Oregon; but another
occurs at this moment, whose
origin is worth remark. It is
that of the county named Jose
phine. 1t was named for a young
girl, Josephine Rollins, daughter
of an early settler and gold miner
there. The county was created
in January, 1856. Josephine
Rollins had been a heroine in the
Indian troubles of the country
and if we mistake not was one
of the victims of the savage war
fare. -,
Several postoffices in the state
have feminine names, some of
them from pioneer women; others
from old mythology. 1t is re-
membered that the name Meha-
ma, in Marion County, was from
Mehama Smith; that of Albina,
now incorporated with Portland,
from the wife or daughter of the
late w. w. Page. Anabel and
Clarnie 1.-THE latter named from
the first syllable of Clara and the
last syllable of Jennie] are SUBJ
urbs of Portland.
1t would be worth while. doubt
less, to explore this field further.
A few streets in Portland, and
perhaps in other towns of Ore
gon, bear feminine names. of To-
cal origin; but on the whole our
women have not been honored as |
they should be, in our geograph;- |
cal and local nomenclature. The
town of Florence. in Lane Coun-
ty, was named, we think, for |
A. B. Florence, member of the |
Senate from Lane, in the first
Legislature of the state.-Ore-
gonian.

 In this connection it was sUg- gested that in no other voca ton would the state reap such ben efits from education as it would from the education Of the far mer.

 By way Of Illustrating what can be done on Arkansas soil, the governOr-elec called attention to the Italian colony at TCnt:- town in Washington county Ten years ago he said, this colony was established and each Of the families was given ten acres of land that had been regarded by its owner as worn out; and the story of the wonders worked on those little plots of ground reads like fiction As high as $500 has been derived from the sale of the product from single acre dur ing one year, he said. The soil which was regarded as exhaust ed had been cared for and be come more productive than it was when first plowed.
 Surely" declared Mr Dona- ghey, eff this can be done by ig- norant foreigners it can be done by Americans who have the ad- vantage of training.
 In explaining his plan for the
The Prescott daily news., 1908-12-30

betterment Of the opportunities for agricultural education in this state. Mr. Donaghey said the first thing he would do would be to wake the agricultural school at the University of Ar kansas from it's long slumber and put it in shape to be of some ben erit to students, who desired to pursue an agricultural course. It should be developed and put on a plane with similar institutions, in other states"
 AS a second means for obtain ing the desired result, Mr Don aghey suggested the establish ment of schools where boys could be taught farming and girls could be trained to do hOuSework This, he thought, would come nearer reaching the solution of the problem than any other means.
 The govCTnor-e,ect then pledg- ed himself to recommend to the next legislature the establish ment or three of these schools in localities where they would be Of the greatest, benefit to the farm CTS, in that they would be so To- cated as to be easily access. .b,e Follow .nG the establishment Of these inS t!tutiOns it would be ne- cesaary, he thought. to arouse the interest of the farmers and secure their assistance in mak- ing the schools successful.
 As a means Of increagIag tho interest of the farmers in agri- cultural schools, he suggested having all matters Of more than ordinary interest at the agricul- tural school printed in bulletin form, so that they could be dis tr.buted among the farmers. These would deal with soil an- alysis, increasing the productive ness Of soil, the rotation of tfOpS anu lue DeHt method or caring for livestock.
 The cooperation of the school teachers in this work of better ing the opportunities Of agricul- tural education was emphasized and it was suggested that an az ricultural school be established in connection with the State Nor nal, so that the teachers could be trained to teach subjects of value to farmers, in the schools of the state. In this way he said the Fundamentals of an agricul- tural education can be inStilled into the minds of the children so that their desire to pursue this education still further will be formed early
 The establishment of industrial and agricultural departments Tn the high schools of the state was also mentioned as one way of bettering the possibilities to be derived from an agricultural ed UcatiOn

AS this is election year, l think every
member should have our principles in con-
densed form in it. Like this:
The Peoples Party stands for
Equal rights to all, and exclusive privileges
to none.
For government money only to be loaned
to the people at low rates, not over per
cent, so that the country may be developed,
panics ayerted, thereby insuring prosperity
all the time.
For government savings banks. They never
fail.
For government telegraphs and telephones.
For government ownership of the railroads

knows what he will be next; | suppose any
thing to satisfy that presidential bumble-bee
that has buzzed in and around his ears these
fourteen years. But [ don't like the idea
Of his nicknaming Democracy, do you? No!
But, pshaW! planks are made to get IN on,
you know, not to stand on. So Democracy
may mean just anything after you are in.
Cleveland Democracy is just as good as any
other after you are in. I mean for the sugar
trust. You know, Bryan Democracy is equal
~ good for national bankers, and Just any old
kind Of Democracy will do the other trusts
and combines, just SO they are allowed to say
what the platform shall be and who shall
stand on it, Taft or Bryan, for both are
Democrats, you know.
But where, oh, where, is the Democracy Of
our fathers? Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none Oh, "where are we at''?
How long, dear friends, shall we continue to
follow after such leaders as Bryan, Parker,
Belmont, Taggart & Co., plutocrats instead of
Democrats, wolves in sheep skins? Soon the
chains of slavery will be so securely fastened
about us that it will be impossible to extri-
cate ourselves. We, our wives and dear

PENNSYLVANIA.

TO the Populists of Pennsy lvania:
1t is hardly necessary to remind you Of the
fact, because it is a matter Of history, that
some time ago, our candidate for governor
on a Greenback ticket polled over $4,000 votes,
in three cornered contest, another Of our
candidates for governor somewhat later, this
time on the Peoples Party ticket, received
as counted nearly 10000 votes despite the
fact that the election machinery was in the
hands of both old parties each equally hostile
to our organization and working conformity
and singly hard to beat us down.
(You are aware that the election laws now
are different as what they were then, even
the Socialist having minority representation
on the election boards now)
We also know, that since the Inflated fusion
with the Democratic party in 1896 our Orga-
nization went asleep, while large number of
our members were engaged in the self imposed
task to reform the Democratic party from the
inside. From the beginning success seemed to
crown the efforts and great was the rejoicing
at securing the cooperation Of the Democratic
party to the reform cause. But alas, as soon
as the People S party had gone out Of business
for awhile and the old beast thought itself
safe again, it wendell its way back, lesurelv
but surely back, to the old stable owned by
such patriotic institutions like the Standard
Oil Co., and mortgaged to Wall Street. The
work of reforming the Democratic party
considered somewhat of a failure then, but
now when we see such eminent statesmen
and unselish reformers like "Fingy' Connors
and Murphy Of New York, Taggart Of Indiana
Smith of New Jersey, Sullivan of Illinois and
other compatriots Of like standing mani
pulate and boss the democratic machine it is
about time to throw up the job and quit for
good.
A revival of the People S party is at hand.
The old battle-scaTed veterans bringing new
recruits with them are falling into line. The
ranks are filing up rapidly. The People s
party is coming to its own again In fight
for principle victories and defeats are but
incidents, the great fight for reform will 90
on until the demands and principles Of the
Omaha platform of 1892, that beacon light
of constructive craftsmanship copied by
Bryan and partly adopted by Roosevelt and
Taft, are put on the statute books, SYM
bolizing victory of the man over the dollar.
If you are interested in the cause which
the Peoples party represents, send your name
and address to,
JOHN RANCH.

HE JRFFERSONLAN.

he refused to vote for southern man for
speaker of the House Of Representatives just
because he was an eX-COnfederate soldier Tell
me, if you please, how an ex-Confederate sol
der, his son. or grandson, or a friend of those
brave men or cause for which they fought,
can vote for William j. The civil war closed
in 1865, and we received this blow from the
said William J. twenty-six years after the
war had closed and the south was doing more
than its full duty in the support Of the gov
eminent, and now in 1908 seventeen years
later, this same William J. has the cheek to
ask the south to support him. My friends,
if he gets it, we, the sons of those brave men
who wore the gray and fought for what they
believed to be right, will be disloyal to our
fathers, and God forbid that we should ever
be guilty Of such crime
This same said W. J. B. gave us another
slap in the face when he condemned Presi-
dent Roosevelt for discharging those negro
soldiers for shooting up the town of Browns
vile, and they went to the said W. J. B. with
their troubles; [ do not know the exact words
used by the "peelless' one, but he wanted
the negroes to understand that if they would
give him their support and by doing elect
him, the great and "peeress leader Of the
Democratic hosts, to the presidency then they
could shoot up as many southern towns as they
pleased, and he, the head Of the nation, would
just pat them on the back and say: "Enter
thou into the joys of thy lord; you have done
we'll YOU gave those southern fools what they
deserved"
My! My! What dose! Will we' swal-
low it, or will we spit it back in his face at
the polls in November? Boys, 7 for one, could
not swallow it if I had stomach of steel

"That is WELL" said the Judge.
"The burden will rest upon them to connect
me with his death, without one tangible clue so
far as can learn They cannot do it; and II by
any possible chance-from the causes you have
mentioned-they hold me for a trial. it will
be from these circumstances alone, out of which
they could scarcely make a case"
"And these circumstances" said Judge Ran
doph-evidently weighing them all carefully in
his own mind. "These circumstances if proven, as
believe they can be from what you and Sothern
tell me-and there are others no doubt, of which
you have not yet informed me-would furnish
the most powerful motive for the deed, known
to the human heart. motive my boy, strong
enough to prove any guilty, perhaps, but
at the same time strong as to acquit any man
before any jury in this state"
