NEW NAME GIVEN
TO RIVER JUNCTION
ANTHONY SELECTS EUPHoNIous
TITLE FOR HIS PosToFFIcE
AND STORE.

Rondowa is the Official name of
John Anthony's town at the mouth
OF the Wallowa river, known here
tofore as River Junction. The name
has something of a Spanish Indian
sound, but it is in reality coinage
from the names of the two rivers
Grande Ronde and Wallowa. The
name was suggested by Engineer II.
A. Brandon, who had charge OF the
construction of the Wallowa branch
Rondowa will become a postoffice
with Mr.. Anthony as postmaster He
has forwarded his bond to the post
office department and is daily expect
ing the arrival of his commission
The townsite is in this county, east
of the Grande Rolde river and north
of the Wallowa and of the railroad
track. Several small buildings have
been erected, in one of which An
thony has stock of groceries and
another is hotel.
Whether the new name is better
than the old is a matter of opinion
and so far it is mostly Anthony's
business as he constitutes a clear
majority of the population. How
ever. the old name, River Junction,
expressed the location and sounded
busy-like-you could almost hear the
noise of boiler shops, foundries, ETC.;
whereas the new name expresses

roads backed them out. The public
highways must be improved before
this country can be attractive to the

properly applied on the roads would
enhance the value of real estate

BARREL FUND
Ramsey County Judge Holds Law
to be Unconstitutional.
Attorney General Immediately
Takes an Appeal to the
Supreme Court.

Inc pork barrel appropriation
OF 5000, 600, passed by the last legis-
lature is unconstitutional according
to Judge Rascal r. Brill of the Ram
sey county district court. He so
decided on Monday in an action
brought by Senator Cooke of Wa
basha and granted a temporary in
junction to restrain the state auditor
from issuing warrants to the various
townships, cities and counties under
the act.
The language of his decision makes
it certain that a permanent Injunction
will be granted, unless the supreme
court interferes. An appeal has been
taken by Attorney General. Simpson
to that tribunal and until its verdict
is announced no money from the fund
can be paid for building roads or
bridges.
Two questions were raised at the
hearing last week. One was whether
the acts of the legislature authorizing
the payment of $500, 900 out of the gen
eral fund of the state we're constitu-
tional and the other, whether the action
could be maintained, the state holding
that the issuance of an Injunction
would be an unlawful interference
with the executive powers of the state
by the judicial power.
The law provides that the state can
never contract debts for work of in
ternal Improvement or be a party to
any such contracts. The auditor al
legged that roads and bridges are not
works of internal improvement. Judge
Brill decides that they are, and says
it is ''too clear for argument.
AS to whether the action can be
maintained or not, he says:
eff the act is unconstitutional the
auditor would proceed without author
ity of law and outside the authority
conferred on him by the state. He
would not be acting for the state, and
an injunction to restrain him from
acting is not an interference with the
performance of his duties as an exec
utive officer of the state. The action
can be maintained -
