VETERANS SHOULD FILE
THEIR CLAIMS NOW.

Hundreds of war veterans dischar-
ged shortly after the armstice was
signed have but few days more to
file compensation claims with the
United States Veterans bureau for
disabilities due to war service. It is
urged that every ex-service man who
may be entitled to government bene-
fits make official application for same
Immediately as the f1ve-year period
allowed by the federal law for making
compensation requests expires in
many instances shortly after Novem-
Der II Of this year. The director Of
the bureau may extend the applica-
ton period one year If good cause is
shown why the veteran failed to make
the request for compensation during
the time allotted.
The Veterans bureau is anxious
that every ex-service man and woman
know the law in this respect in order
that no war veteran with even the
slightest service disability vii, fail to
make proper application for govern
ment compensation within the time
limit. Filing Of a claim protects the
veteran in case the war injury or dis
ability. now slight and non-compens-
able, becomes aggravated at a later
date. The claim will he on record
and the case may he reopened at any
time. The imnortant thing is to file
the claim within the allotted time and
then make every effort TO prove ser
vice connection Of the disabilities az
legged.
II is also urged that all ex-seryice

WASHINGTON NAMES.
(Spokane.)


"Skeetsomish' and ''SkeetshOo"
were early names applied to the Spo-
kane Indians and Spokane Falls, from
which the city and county of Spokane
derived their names, according to
Professor Edmond S. Meany of the
University of Washington, who has
devoted section Of his new book en-
Washington names to that district
Lewis and Clark wrote of the In
dams and the falls in 1905, referring
to them by the name 'SkeetsOmish.'
Professor Meany says. "On June s
and August IL, 1911. David Thompson
of the Northwest Company of Mon
treal referred to the Spokane river
and Spokane House, while Oh his map
the river Is charted as 'SkeetshOO.
The Spokane House mentioned by Mr..
Thompson had been established under
his authority in 1910 by Jaco Finlay
and Finan Mcdonald at the junction
of the Spokane and the Little Spokane
rivers. A short distance away the
Pacific Fur company {AstOrians) built
IA rival Fort Spokane in 1912.
although the river then was known
Icy another name and although the two
trading posts were abandoned, they
helped materially to fix the name. on
The country. The Astorians' post was
taken over by the Northwest company
OF Montreal during the war of 1912.
THE Northwest, company was absorb
ed by the. Hudson Bay company In
1891 and in 1927 that company estab-
lished Fort Colvine' and abandoned
Spokane House, In the meantime

''For a time the upper. part OF the
river from ths.. junction Of what is
now Little Spokane River to Lake

the name Spokane river. was extended
to the lake and the tributary became
known as Little Spokane river.
"The first law to organize Spokane
county was approved by the legisla
ture of Washington territory on Jan
uary 20, 1858. The city was incorporat
ed in 1881. For years the official nam
of the city was Spokane Falls.
