THE NAME OREGON

Many theories are extant as TO the
origin of this name. none OF which
can he substantiated beyond the fact
that It first appeared in the book OF
Captain Jonathan Carver, whose
work describes his travels In the
northwest.
Here is what Carver says: From
the intelligence gained from the
Naudowessie Indians tDakotas).
among whim I arrived on the 7th
day of December tl767. and whose
language I perfectly acquired dur
ing q residence Of Ave months. and
also from the accounts I afterwards
obtained from the Assinipoils. who
speak the same language. being q
revolted band OF the Naudowessie,
and from the Killistinoes. neighbors
Of the Assinipoils. who speak the
Chipeway language and inhabit the
heads Of the river Bourbon. say
from these nations together with my
own observations. I have lesrned
that the four most capital rivers Of
the continent Of North America. III:
The st. Lawrence. the Mississippi.
the river Bourbon, and the Oregon.
or River OF the West (as hinted
In my Introductory have their
sources situated in the same neigh
borhood. The waters Of the three
former are within 80 miles o: each
other, the latter, however, is rather
further west"
Again quoting from Carver. The
River Bourbon empties itself into
Hudson's Bay, the water Of the 81.
Lawrence, the Mississippi and the
River Oregon, or the River Of the
West, that falls into the Pacific
ocean at the Straits Of Anian."
There is a theory that the name
originated from the Spanish words
'Orejons" meaning big ears, and
based on the supposition that In.
dams along the Columbia river orna-
mented their ears in such a manner
as to greatly enlarge them. Thii
theory is exploded by the fact that
no such practice ever prevailed along
the Columbia river.
II IL also claimed to have origin.
ated from "Ariganum," species Of
wild sage, common to the region
and from "Oyer-un-gon," Shoshone
word meaning place Of plenty"
Hall ]. Kelly says in 1852: "Ore.
gon, the Indian name OF this river
was traced by me to a large river
called Orion, in Chinese Tartary."

oREGoN's LATENT WEALTH


Dawn seems Just appearing over
the eastern slopes of Oregon. and
We welcome it, even though it comes
from red fields Of blood. The war
10 creating an unprecedented call
Tor the things that Oregon has to
cell and she is preparing to sell them
IN enormous quantities.
Aeroplanes, ships. clothing and
an the accessories. which means
lumber, millions of 1t. steel. vast
quantities OF it. and wool without
end. Factories, shipyards, logging
camps, mines will bristle with 90
tivity and an ever lengthening pay
roll will gladden. the hearts OF all.
The government has taken over
the railroads and proposes to run
them at the least possible expense
consistent with good service. II
this plan is carried out in good faith
It means a great deal to Oregon.
Heretofore enterprise has counted
as against the laws Of nature and
privately managed railroads have
carried their trafic a mile In the
air to get over the Cascade range
and deliver the goods to Seattle. The
cost was greatly increased, but, en-
terprise scored against nature, fol
a water-level route has always ez
listed down the Columbia river from
the Inland empire TO the SEA.
II this fact is recognized BY th'
government in railroad manage
nent, it means that vast amoun
Of shipping will be transferred from
Seattle to Portland, which, together
with the wonderful shipbuilding in.
dustry that Is springing up there
will make It one of the great sea
ports of the world.
Another feature that will go faI
to build up both places will be the
impetus that is about to be given tc
the development OF water power by
the government. Very few stop to
consider what that means to this
state.
Take an example-The Sandy riv-
er rises on Mount Hood and flows
into the Columbia river just east
OF Portland. II is small affair.
compared to all the streams OF the
state, but, it is estimated that its
present available force amounts to
10000 horse power. All Penn
sylvania only uses about IA times
that amount Of power.
The undeveloped resources Of
southern Oregon are a sealed book,
but, the time is here when we should
give the matter serious considera-
tion. We have iron and other COM
modities that the government needs
In this great war. Let us look them

THE WORDS OF A SOLDIER

Few finer things have oeen said
than the words of General Leonard
Wood in bidding good, ,hye. .t9ttHe S9th
division of the nationh SrH4y as 4e
latter departed for France without
him, after he had expected to lead
these soldiers in active warfare. The
words show the spirit of the true so11
der who realizes that orders must ha
obeyed even thoe he, and the rest Of
the country as well, thinks he is ell
titled to the command abroad that he
had reason to Believe would be his
when he had the division trained. Cen
Wood fills the popular eye as the ideal
soldier and certainly he is the idol of
his men. He has seen long years of
active service, is deep student of
military affairs, he has been under fire
on the battlefield and is said to be un-
excelled by anybody in or out of the
army in military knowledge. But he
was, told he must remain at home.
Just why this is So the administration
has not made clear and the soldiers
under him-although they are soldiers
and therefore obey orders without
open protest-did not hesitate to OBJ
ject to the order refusing General
Wood permission to 60 abroad. Blu,
heresis what General Wood, himself,
the soldier, said:
