Correct List of Xunies.
The N?ws Is in receipt of a commu
nication from Hen. John B. Horner,
of the OreRon Agricultural College at
Corvallis, which we publishin full.
The communication Is self explana
tory and the matters spoken of should
receive proper attention without de
lay. Following is the letter:
To the Editor The National Geo
graphic society desires to collect the
Reographie names of your county with
their authography and pronunciation
for reference at Washington City and
for the use of those who mnke geo
graphies for the nublic schools. It is
especially desired to obtain this In
formation during the lifetime of the
pioneers who gave these names, so
iat nil disputed points may be set
tled beyond cavil.
That Oregon names may bo forever
f-erlght in this respect, the gover
nor of this state has appointed a geo
graphic nonrd consisting of Will (1
Steel and George H. Himes, of Port
land, J. B. Horner, of Corvallis. Lee
Moorehonse, of Pendleton, and Judge
J. Q. A. Bowlby, of Astoria, to co-operate
with the National Geographic
society in securing all imssiblo Infor
mation nnd data regarding the names
that ought to appear in the school
f eoernphles and maps of Oregon.
While it means much to a com
munity to be correct on the map. the
bmrd has found that manv Important
localities are not so recorded prima
rily for the reason that the maimiak
rs hnve not had adequate Informa
tion at hand. Some names are in
corrertly spelled, others mispronounc
ed, others duplicated, while many are
omitted. Data show that Umpqua is
nrnnounced "Umn-qna." also "UtnD
fcaw"; some say Coquelle, others Co
qullle: Cow Crek, Azale river, nnd
Aznlea river; Willnm-ette. Willamette
and Walamat: Or-egon and Oregon;
Yaaui-na nnd Yaquina; Willamette
Vnilev and Webfoot; Arlington and
Alkali: Mary's Penkl Maps Peak,
Mary Peak nnd Chintlmlnl; Ban-tfam
nnd Santiam; Lacreole and ttickrenll;
St. John, St. John's and St. Johns;
Yachatas, Yarhaats and Yahuts. (
The majority of Oreeon names are
bits of fossil history which should be
permanently preserved by the state.
The board will esteem it a favor,
therefore If principals, teachers, pio
neers and others will furnish anch
Information as may add correctrees
and utility to the mans of our stnte
hereafter published. Ia giving names
Teasons fchould be carefully assigned.
The board has decided to observe
the following rules
1. Preserve the most authentic
names and recommend as few chan
ges as nosslble.
2. Euphonious and ' suitable
names of Indian. Spanish, or Freneh
origin should usually be retained
Names of living should be applied
Tery rarely and then only to those
of eminence. s 1 i : . t
3. Long and clumiy name
should be obviated. If the name con
sists of more than one wrrd, the
words should be combined if pos
sible. 4. Avoid the multiplication of
names. Only one name should he
applied to a stream or mountain
throughout lie- entire lengtn. in
most cases independent names should
bo given to the branches or u river;
and the use of "North Fork," "East
Fork." etc., discouraged,
Fnllnwlnir is a list of Douzlas
county1 names that usually nppear on
the maps. There may be other names
which may be as important as these,
hence should appear; if so, give reasons.
