origin Of surnamss.

No one can say with any certainty
when the practice Of taking surname
became general The Greeks. Assyri-
ans, Egyptians and other ancient peo-
pies had no surnames; the later Ro-
mans had each one real personal name,
4 oWhich they sometimes added a clan
name or nomen, family name or
scognomen and q nickname or agno-
men. The personal or Christian name
was the only name recognized by early
SEngiish law; surnames being words Of
description used to identify persons Of
the slmk name from each other. The
NofiiHanss had introduced into England
the AAbit Of using surnames, but this
sWas,eendned to the upper classes. BY
degrees even the common people be-
gan to be distinguished by names re-
ferring to personal characteristics, as
Armstrong, rank or profession as
Smith. fathers name as Jackson, etc.

sand-ss,ooo ! Ton.

Wilmington, Del, has a dozen Of
the most expensive sand piles in the
world. It costs $1,000 a ton, says the
Portland Oregonian.
The reason for this. and incidentally
reason for high-priced gloves. was
revealed the other day by p prominent
leather merchant.
Wilmington is the chief slazed.kid
center in the United States. About 20
per cent of the raw skins entering the
United States come from China and
are imported at the rate Of about 81
. pound.
what, them" asked the merchant,
@wonld be more natural to the cum
ming celestials than to increase the
weight Of the skins by sprinklins sand
on them?'
That Is just what happens and the
result is huge piles Of sand at recciv-
ing plants here, where the hides are
dried and prepared for manufacture.

Action on Bean
Barrett Bonds
Held up Again

Declaring that the day of four and
one half percent money, seventy five
cent wheat and one dollar day wages
are things of the past, s. Benson.
chairman OF the state highway COM
mission in a telegram received by the
state board of control this morning
urges immediate sale Of the $l,U00,-
90 0issue of Bean-Barrett bonds at
the high bid of 5000 offered by the
Lumbermen's Trust company or Port
land Tuesday
Considering the present current
rate of interest the bids received for
bonds very satisfactory" Benson's
telegram in reply to query of the
board of control, reads. Interest rate
will certainly go higher In near fu-
lture. Obligations incurred demand i'm
mediate sale of bonds. -Four and one
half percent money, seventy five cent
wheat, ten dollar lumber and dollar
day wages are things of past hope
permanently"
The action OF the state board of
control on the bids submitted this
morning for the purchase of the ST.
100000 issue of Bean Barrett bonds
will depend in large measure upon re-
plies of the state highway commission
to kilograms forwarded this afternoon
asking as to the urgency Of the need
for this money
ssDo YOU consider situation as To
contracts and obligations Of highway
commission Of such serious nature
and demanding such immediate at
Itention as to- require acceptance at
such low figure" the query Of the
board OF control reads referring to
the bids submitted today ranging
from 5000 down to SS.19 and involv-
ing discount. Of approximately 500,
900 on the $1,000, 900 issue If the high
big should be accepted.
Unless the commissioners urge the
necessity of sacrificing the issue at
the bids submitted in order to save
the credit Of the state and protect the
contractors engaged In the construc-
tion of post roads and forest pro-
jects, it is freely predicted here that
the board will reject the bids at their
meeting Wednesday morning.
The $1,000,00O issue now under con
sideration Is part Of $2,500,0O0 re-
quested by the highway commission
several weeks ago the entire amount
being represented as necessary of inn
mdiate issue at that time.

Exhibit Puts
Nor thwest Artists Work
Before Salem People

The exhibition of works by artists of
the Pacific northwest which opened in
the sample room of the Hotel Marion
this afternoon, under the auspices of
the Salem Arts league, inspires one
with confidence, not only in the north
vests artistic future, but in its artistic
present. There are a number of things
about the pictures that show a mark
ed assurance. A number of exhibitors
are not as yet represented, however.
owing to delay in shipping. The ex-
hibition is free to the public, hours of
viewing to be from 2 to O'Clock in
the afternoons and from 1880 to 8
o'clock in the evenings, the days of ex-
hibition to include Thursday and Fri
day.
Every lover of art in Salem should
avail himself of the opportunity of
seeing so splendid an exhibit, which if
not large, is at least representative.
and higher in quality than any here
tofore brought to Salem. Nor should
one visit suffice. An art exhibition rel
visited the second time confirms sober
Judgment, skaters first impressions,
undeceiyes and discloses new beau
ties. One is apt to be misled by ones
personal taste for color or particular
object at first glance at canvas.
Some. for instance love trees, noun
tains or sea. 1t seems difficult to make
them inartistic, yet it is possible.
The unfolding of new beauties is
one of the pleasantest sensations imag-
Unable. Some quiet picture in a corner
develops an endearment suddenly, and
that alone is worth going far to obtain.
Among the notable canvases is
"Pool in the Desert" by Robert Aiken,
which has been lent to the league by
Mrs. +. w. Spencer, a cousin Of the
celebrated artist. The picture was

after the artists death. For a long
time it hung in the Metropolitan Art

lures words, are inadequate, for as
Stevenson said: But of works of art
little can be said; their influence lis
profound, and silent. like the influ-
ence of nature; they mold by contact:
we drink them up like water and are
bettered, yet know not how"
During the various periods of show
ing of the pictures local folk versed in
artistic things will be present to ex-
plain the merits of the various works,
and answer questions. They have been
given the following assignments:
