The sunshine bright fall no more from the

And cease the soft kiss of the nectared

Whose absence leaves deathless memory,
So glad and sweet, though sad, 10! 1t may

How OREGON Got Its Name.

We believe it most probable that the
name of Oregon arose out of some
explorations under direction of the
French. Earlier than the English, the
French had pressed on westward from
the great lakes to the Red river. to
the Saskatchewan and to the foot or
the Rocky mountains. They were
ranging the country of the upper Mis-
sissippi in search of furs and for trade
with the natives; they were full OF
curiosity and active in inquiry about
the great distant west and the un-
possessed Spanish charts and probably
used among the natives the word
"Aragon,' as a homonym of Spain.
When Jonathan Carver of Connecticut
was on his expedition to the upper
Mississippi country, in 1767-176S, he
made all possible inquiries, he tells US,
about the country toward the west,
the western river and the sea and the
word Oregon" and the name was
written for the first time, SO far as we
now know, or possibly can ever know,
in Carver's book, published in London
in 177S. 1t is a book of little i'm
portance or value. except for the fact
that it gives to the world the name Of
Oregon. which Carver says he got
from natives in the country of the up
per Mississippi. Recent writer's have
shown that much of Carver's book is
made up of unacknowledged extracts
from French explorers before him,
particularly from Hennepin, Lahontan
and Charlevoix; and as Carver had no
scholarship it is believed the book was
compiled in London. partly from Car
ver's own story and partly from the
records of French and English ex-
ploration. 1t is significant, further,
that in Carver's book tribes of Indians
and various objects are often desig-
mated by French names or terms

WILL LIKELY GET

ter from the SECRETARY of the navy,
in which Secretary Meyer says: 'T
beg 10 acknowledge receipt of your
letter of the 29th inst, in which you
request to be informed If there are
any guns from the battleship Oregon

I'm reply, have to inform
you that there are at Mare

ceipt of their formal application, to
have them assigned for donation pur-
poses"
Mr.. Hawley has sent the letter to
Governor Benson for his action.

JAPAN SENDS CRUISER
TO PACIFIC COAST

Washington, April 1.-The Japa-
nese cruisers Aso and 1jichl will visit
San Francisco about April 25, accord.
ing to advices received at the naval
department. The two japanese crui-
sers are being utilized for training
purposes and carry $50 cadets. The
ships are under command of Admiral
Ijichi. They were captured during
the japanese war, and were
formerly called Bayan and Variag.
The entertainment Of the japanese
visitors is a serious problem. The
navy department has no special en-
tertainment fund, and the only thing
that can be done is TO take a small
amount from the contingent fund
A certain sum has been set aside for
the purpose by Secretary Meyer, but
II Is not enough to give the Japanese
sailors nearly as elaborate an enter
tainment as the japanese gave to the
sailors of the American fleet. After
visiting san Francisco the two crus-
ers will go to Seattle.

rates follow.

agree to the inspection of any addi-
tional dairy animals they may pur-
chase so as to insure their herd
against contamination and they must
agree not to sell a diseased animal
without first securing the approval
of the bureau of animal industry.
Thus far DR., Mcclure has done no
work for the local dairymen, but he
has made a number of inspections in
other portions of the state. At Soap
poose he recently inspected a herd
of 90 dairy cattle for Harry West and
not an animal was found affected.
But a herd that was inspected near
Portland was found affected, 10 ami
mails out of herd of 81 having the
disease. In a Salem herd that was
inspected none of the animals were
affected excepting bull that had
just been purchased.
At Baker City the dairy COWS are
being inspected by a local veterinary.
Thus far SIX animals have been
found affected with tuberculosis.
As he is interested in the fight
against tuberculosis and believes that
much of the disease comes from the
use of milk from tubercular cows,
DR.. Mcclure is in hopes that the To-
cal dairymen will take advantage Of
the governments offer and have their
herds inspected.
