II is refreshing to note, from a legal
notice which appears in this issue of the
Democrat, that the name of Indian orr
gin, "Aziscohos," has at least . degree
of official sanction az applied to the new
lake created in northern Oxford County
by the corporation controlling the water
power of the Androscoggin River. 1t
would have been too bad to break up the
style Of lake nomenclature so nearly uni
form in this state Of lakes, by lacking on
plain Anglo-Saxon sppellstion to this
large body Of water. To be sure, the
man who conceived the creation of this
artificial lake may be entitled to recogni.
ton, but the dam which makes the lake
is . massive monument to its builder.
