And Remember, Too

---about how he sold his land and went on
a wild-goose chase in search of the far off
land; sold his old land to an enterprising,
energetic young chap who noticed yellow
specks in the rock where the former own
er had clicked his heels? Yes, you know
it all, how the young man promptly tore
down all the old stone walls and dug up
the poor, old farm" for the rich gold ore
that was in it, how he became rich and
powerful while the other fellow chased
the elusive pot of gold at the end of a
rainbow!
The point is-are YOU dreaming of
successes which MIGHT come to you in
other places, or are you looking with see
ing eyes for the opportunities right here
at hand? Omaha is full of them, oppor-
tunities for the live young man who will
grasp them.
Take property, for instance: Real es-
tate which was bought. for "a mere song"
a few years ago is now quite valuable, and
likewise that which can be bought rea-
sonably now will command much more
later on. Because Omaha is advancing,
surely and steadily moving on in the for
ward march of progress.
1t would be wise if you should turn at
once to the real estate columns of THE
BEE and look with seeing eyes at the
many opportunities which await you
there. Reliable realty men and builders
wish to serve you.

FEDERAL SCOUT
LOOKS OYER FIELD
Assistant Attorney General Cum
shoes In to Investigate Timber
for Vacant Judgeship.
LETS NO ONE KNOW HE Is HERE

Assistant United States Attorney
General Graham was in Omaha two
days during the week, quietly look
ing over the judicial timber offered
10 take the place OF the late Judge
William II. Munger, on the federal
bench OF the Omaha division.
Mr.. Graham's visit was made
quietly. He didn't even call at the
federal building, but he consulted
with a number OF men IN a position
TO know and he made every effort to
discover the qualifications Of the
many men who are seeking to serve
their country on the bench at $1,000
a year for life.
Many Mentioned.
Who the lucky man will be Is about as
uncertain as any question could be. At
least twenty men have been mentioned
for the place I'm Omaha alone. Some of
these are eminent lawyers who would be
splendidly fitted for the place, but who
wouldn't abandon a law practice con-
siderably more lucrative for the goodly
salary OF Uncle Sam.
'Barkis lie within" say most Of the
mentioned" ones. But the department
is evidently demanding some qualiflca-
tons besides willingness. as the quiet
tour OF interrogation and inspection of
Mr.. Graham indicates.
As the situation maintains at this time,
the most promising prospects are: VIII

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.
Work Of Uncle Sans Board That Re-
visss and Corrects Thorn.

v'eS~ ~
An obscure but interesting gov
eminent institution is the United
States geographic board at Wash
ington. Not many people know of
its work, which consists in deter
mining for the government depart
ments the correct names hat are
used in postal guides, in official re-
ports and on maps.
A great many things interfere
with uniformity in geographical
nomenclature. The postofice de-
partment sometimes calls a p%ostof-
fee by a name hat does not CORE
spond to the name of the town
where that postofice is.
Then there is the corruption Of a
name hat comes with time. Lon
don's "Rotten Row." which was orig
inally "Route du Roi," is perhaps
as remarkable an example as can be
found anywhere. Thus Coanjock
bay, in North Carolina, becomes by
local usage Coinjack; Minister, in
Ohio, becomes Minister, and Roll
land, in Michigan, becomes Row
land. Sometimes these corruptions
are so generally accepted that they
take the place of the original. Thus
Valcken Eylandt Falcon island),
named by the Dutch in 1914, is
CORR oted into Fawkner's island,
then Falkner's island and finally
Falkland's island. The accepted
name at present is Falkner island,
and this name has the sanction OF
the geographic board.
Where there has been an abso-
lutte change from one name to an
other the board consults local feel
ing, and if the verdict is nearly
unanimous it follows local usage.
Usually such changes are in the d.
rection of greater refinement. Thus
Hog island in Maine has become
Applcdore island, and Hog island in
Long Island sound is now known as
Center island. Sometimes the de-
sire to change a lame is inspired by
other motives. The people of Vir-
ginia, wishing to honor the memory
of the first state geologist, attempt
ed to change the name of Elliott
knob to Rogers knob. But, since
the first name was well established,
the board gave it sanction, and Ell
lott Knob is now official.
In some cases confusion arises be-
cause explorers have discovered"
the same spot and given it different
names. Cape Disappointment, on
the coast of Washington, got its
name from Meares in 1888. Four
years later Gray named it Cape
Hancock, and for some time it was
known indiffercntly as Cape Han
cock or Cape Disappointment. The
original name has now been re-
stored.
The board exists only by virtue
Of executive order and has never
been recognized by congress. Its
members are officials from a few of
the departments and bureaus at
Washington, who serve without
compensation. - Youths Compan-
ion.
