Petrograd, May 29.-Russia will
fight twenty years II necessary until
Germany is forced to accept allied
terms Of peace. Michael Rodzianko.
president OF the douma, told the
United Press in an exclusive inter
view today. He scoffed at the danger
OF revolution in the cars empire.
There is no peace party in Russia. "
said Rodzianko. THAT Is a German
invention. The douma is solid in its
demand that Russia continue to fight
until Germany puts her cannon in q
pile and accepts the allies condi-
tions.
"The emperor, the douma and the
peasants,a are united in this. Tell this
to the people OF the United States as
emphatically as you can"
Rodzianko has just arrived from
his home in time for the re-opening
of the douma today.
You need not accept my word ex-
clusively," he said. "You are well
come to the floor Of the douma, where
you can talk to any one. All will tell

Germany to accept our terms. Peace

Russia would refuse to accept II the
allies woodland the allies would
not. Peace propagandas now in cir

Rodzianko was asked II the douma
would attempt reforms.

ANOTHER VERSION ON NAMING
THE CITY.

~~ 49,
The naming OF Grants Pass has
caused many an oldest inhabitant''
to hold forth with interesting account.
but all brand as unfounded the ortho-
dox classic. which has the greatest
glamour as "tellable" romance. The
commonly-told tale reports that in
the SOS General Ulysses Grant. then
q captain in Oregon Indian fighting,
was sitting in q game Of poker in an
old cabin to the north OF town. He
had been on a strenuous trip. and
was very drowsy. though still in the
game, when q picket rushed to the
door and shouted, Jump quick. cap
tain, the Indians have attacked us. I"
Grant is said to have merely blinked
his eyes as he managed to say, ~
pass" Whence the later settlement
is said to have derived Its name,
Grants Pass"
As a matter Of fact. however.
Grant was never in this vicinity. ac-
cording to H. B. Miller. head Of the
School Of Commerce of University of
Oregon and the first storekeeper in
Grants Pass. Mr.. Miller has looked
up the matter In government records.
and for his own satisfaction traced
out the origin of the name soon after
he came here.
1t seems that the name has direct
connection with Grant, but that he
was thousands OF miles away when
the honor was conferred, and prob
ably never heard Of it. When Mr..
Miller established the first store on
the site of the present city, the old
road-house on the San Francisco
Portland stage line. located on Tokay
Heights, had come to be designated
as Grants Pass" The post office
was then in the road-house, and when
It was transferred to the Fl. B. Miller
store the name was retained, and has
ever since been the official designa-
tion OF the town.
The name was traced back from It's
use at the road-house, and was found
to have been applied originally to the
low divide or pass, now known as the
Merlin divide, through which the
stage road was run when the first
route over the Louise Creek hill
proved too steep and roundabout.
This was in 1865 or 1866. and when
the question came up as to how the
new route should be distinguished
from the old, the men who were
working on the road decided to call
it the Grants Pass route" by way Of
celebrating Grants great victories of
1855 in the South.
