RESIDENT LOT PRICES
SURPRISE REALTY MAN

Allan L. Leonard, who is here in the
interest of the Beaumont Land Co., of
Portland, says that he is very much
impressed with the progress of this
city. Mr.. Leonard is an experienced
real estate man and has spent the past
year iii developing residence tracts in
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. This
is his first trip to Hood River. He
says that he has often heard the place
mentioned because of the progress it
has made, and because of the wonder
full apples grown in the surrounding
country. In his travels throughout
other fruit sections of the northwest
he finds that a great respect prevails
everywhere for Hood River apples.
However, Mr.. Leonard says that the
local conditions surpass his expecta-
tions. He finds that everybody here
seems to be satisfied and prosperous.
zone of the things that surprises me
most" he said, "are the prices they
are asking and getting for city lots
here. While people tell me that my
proposition is good, they think they
can make better profits by speculating
on home lots. " Seattle, he says, has
been over-exploited on the residence
lot propoition.
In mentioning Hood Rivers streets,
Mr.. Leonard says they could and are
being improved but they are far better
than those of the average new town of
the northwest. Another thing that
he noticed, and considered remarkable,
is the very large number of country
residents who are spending the winter
in the expensive tourist district of
southern California.
The!real estate in which Mr.. Leonard
is interested in Protland is the cen
trally located Beaumont district. 1t
has height of 270 feet, the highest
point of the peninsula, and is lao feet
higher than the surrounding territory.
The district is going to be developed
along the most improved lines. Con-
rete sidewalks and bitulithic pave
ments are to be constructed.

from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys exCrete a clear, amber

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy. or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the

Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Here's Hood River

c. Ranley, 7l8 State Street, Hood
River, Oregon, says: 81 was troubled
by steady pain across my loins and
my back ached great deal. The Sc
cretions from my kidneys were un-
natural and their irreguarity in pass
age caused me much annoyance. Since
learning of Doan's Kidney Pills,
have taken them whenever | have had
any trouble of this kind and they have
always relieved me. Other members
of my family have used this remedy

Personal LIFE SKETCHES
Oregon Nomenclature.
By Rev. G. W. Kennedy.

There is much in a name. 1t either
paints and coIors with the beauties of
the rainbow and the melody Of music
or mars forever, with disfguration.
Our commonwealth was christened in
romance, veiled in mystery; but eX-
ceedingly fortunate in name.
Oregon: rhythmic as poetry; bcauti-
full as her evergreen forests; brilliant
as a sunrise on old Mt. Hood. It's
origin will forever remain a mystery,
whether it be native Indian, Spanish
or Of other language. Thanks to old
Jonathan Carver who, one hundred and
fifty years ago, met some Indians from
beyond the Shining Mountains" who
told him Of the "impenetrable woods,
Where Rolls the Oregon" Our nomen-
clature, running through the entire
geography of the state, is a rather
strange miXup: but not strange, since
so many nations and tribes of people
were mingled in It's pioneer history.
So far as we have the original Indian
names, we are fortunate, but the
English attempt to change these was
a sad misiit.
Capt. Vancouver sailed into Puget
Sound IN 1892 and put English names
on almost all prominent locations. He
named Puget Sound for one of his
officers, Mt. Rainier after another and
when he sailed into the Columbia
River after Capt. Gray's discovery, he
came in sight Of Mt. Hood and named
it for Capt. Hood Of the British Navy,
who had never seen the Oregon
Country. The Indian name for that
mountain was Wyeast. When Lewis
and Clark came in 1905 they named it
jefferson" for President jefferson,
the promoter of their expedition.
This was certainly the fact for the
mountain which the English had pre-
viously named Hood was the only
Oregon snow peak that they saw while
on the "trip. When the missionaries
and early settlers came they trans
ferred the Lewis and Clark name to
the next snow peak south and retained
the original, Hood.
The Great River OF the West was
named for Capt. Gray's ship of dIscov-
cry the Columbia. Snake River was
originally named for the Indian tribes
living on its upper valley the "Sho-
shone. How sadly marred when 1t
was changed. The original Indian
name for the site Of Portland was
Multnomah Of Salem, was Chemeketa :
place Of peace. The name Of the
beautiful and dashing river Of Southern
Oregon was changed from Rouge to
Rogue. But we have still some beau
tiful Indian names. Molala what
could be more rhythmic? Yaquina,
Tualatin, Clackamas, Umatilla, NAL
heur, Owyhe, klamath, Walla Walla,
(meetng of the waters,) Chelan,
beautiful water,) Tacoma, (white
water WalIOwa, (place Of rest, and
so forth. Our Deschutes was named
by the French tryppers, as also The
Dalles.
We are not sorry that the wonder
fully named mountain which stands at
the head of our valley retained the
English name and this valley, its nat
ural product, took on the same. It's
fitness has been acknowledged by the
wide world. Here is a valley as grand
as the mountain and whose Inspirations
are as lofty and glorious.

Serious Delay in Traffic Caused.

On account Of a washOut and land
slide about twenty miles this side of
Portland the O.-W. R. & N. Co. an
nulled all of its trains through Hood
River last Thursday. The city was
completely isolated and without mail
from six o'clock Wednesday evening
till about the same time on Thursday,
when a train arrived from the east.
A train was brought through from
Portland at about ten o'clock Thurs.
day night. A number of the O.-W. R.
Il N. west bound trains were sent
through over the North Bank road.
Reports show that all of the western
Oregon cities suffered more or less
from the excessive rain of last Wednes-
day. In Portland, although the loss Of

property was rather insignificant.
nearly every line Of business suffered
from the delay in traffic. Besides the
trouble of the O.-W. R. Il NJ, Co. the
S. P. trains of the Shasta Route had
to be sent over the West Side tracks.
The shipping along the water front
was thrown into confusion because of
the high water and ice foes in the
river. The street car system suffered
more seriously from the prevailing
deluge than from like cause in all its
history.
As a result of the high water one
fatality occurred at Salem. Joshua II
Smith, an aged and respected citizen
of that place, while horseback, rode
off a bridge into swollen stream AID
lost his life.

PRESIDENT TAFT
AT CHICKAMAUGA
VIEWS BATTLE GROUNDS-vISIT
NOT A POLITICAL ONE.
Col. Gorgas, Head of Sanitary Work in
Canal Zone, Comes in for Executive
= Commentator.

Chattanooga.-After a day spent in
travelling through Tennessee, President
Taft Friday afternoon was driven for
S5 miles over the battlefield of Chicka-
manga, where historians conceded one
OF the bloodiest conflicts of the civil war
was fought. More than two hours the
president motored over the hills and
through the valleys where Gen. Bragg,
at the head Of the Confederate army,
and Gen. Rosecrans on the Union side
fought 4s years ago, with a total loss Of
more than $4,000 men. With the presi-
dent rode former Congressman Grosvenor
Of Ohio, wsO was Northumberland of
the Eighteenth Ohio battery, and who is
now a member of the ~Chickamauga Ma
tional Park commission, and ex-United
States Senator Frazier of Tennessee.
Immediately behind him rode many
men who fought OH one side or the other
in that great battle. The president was
whirled by scores of monuments that
bore testimony to the valor of the thou
sands who fought at C~hickamauga, and
paused more than once to read the in
scriptions on shafts of stone and granite
to the men who died on the field around
him.
Mr.. Taft's second day in Tennessee
came to an end here. He began his trip
across the state at Nashville early Fri
day, addressed 1.-THE students at the Uni
versity of the South at Sewanee a few
hurs &Iater and wound up the days jour,
ney With an address in the auditorium
here. -
The president declared that his visit
to Tennessee was not political, and to
the students of Chattanooga University
he defended his appointments to the
United States supreme court.
Before speaking of the treaties, the
president discussed the Panama canal.
He praised Col. Gorgas, an alumnus of
the University of the South, who is now
at the head Of the sanitary work in the
canal zOne. Without Col. Gorgas, the
president said, the great canal could
hardly have been completed.
