This is probably equally true of every county Under the rules of the board every stream should bear one name to its longest source, and every branch should have a name of its own. The wisdom of this rule can be readily illustrated with Applegate river, which is a good name, and of course should be retained. These should have names of their own however: Little Applegate creek, south fork of Little Applegate creek, east fork of Little Applegate creek, north fork of Big Butte, creek, south fork of Big Butte Icreek and niany others that could be named. v i ii'-vJi- Here are a fewj that ought to be changed : Fish lake, Fourbit creek, Frdg creek, Jackass creek, Jenny creek, Mule creek, Squaw lake, Graybaek mountain, Sucker creek, Louse creek and many others equally absurd. There is scarcely a county in the state that does not contain an Antelope creek, Bear creek, Beaver creek, Fish lake, Frog lake, Squaw lake and an endless variety 6'f other relics of stupidity. It has been suggested that Graybnck mountain be chang ed to Marble mountain, which is appropriate, particularly as it contains the great marble caves. In that event Sucker creek should' be changed to Marble creek. Now that Fish lake is to be the source of Medford 's water supply, a bet ter name should be given, and Lake McLaughlin has been suggested, which is appropriate and carries the idea of our water coming from that rugged peak of the Cascades. PAMPHLET CONFISCATED. K! ' (Kugene KegUter.) Several iluyn ago the Hegister pub lished a portion of tin editorial from a Medford paper in which tlio Oregon Unit Realty eompnuy of thin city was roasted to a frnzzlo for tooling pftin- iiMpIh Hottinir forth tho glorifit of the I 1 B j niimineiiH vniwy, uui cniua uy uw jmpiTH of that city with piaK.arixu.ff and iiHinp; Hoffiio River valley wits and wntenps and apply nig them to this , vulley. Ah hoido parties intcrcated in 1 the company lire attacked had a news- 1 pnpor nt thir cominaml the KegistiT ! publislied hut n part of the severe ar- raiJtiiifiit, expi'ftiii); that they would proceed to explain tit;- matter and, if I jMiscible. make sonio show of exonerat I iiitf the I'onipaiiy, but (lie paper remain- j rd silent under tho sever arraignment. ' 1muiri('s as tn who constitute the said j On-Ron I'nit Itcalty company w leave I the evening paper to answer, since it; is said to be the chief instigator and j bead of tht organization, which includes I councilman and a business firm, all of ' names were biveu in the Medford arti cle, but omitted here. j It wns tin intention of tbe Register to publish the Mcdfmd article in full, j showing the flagrant nbuse of privilege! indulged in by appropriating southern j Oregon pictures and wrlteups, as Wil lamette valley assets but we have since ' learned that the Medford Commercial club, having taken up the matter with tho postal authorises under fraud pro cedure. Manager Hartog of tho Eugene Commercial club wrote to the Medford ehib as peacemaker that the fraudu lent pamphlets had been confiscated and that tho Kugene organization in whose interests they were printed had denied authorizing their St. l'nul agent to in dulge in such plagiarism, anil the whole matter has been dropped. Wo are glad for Kugene and Lane county Hint the matter has bien straightened out, for it is a well known fact that Lane county does not desire to seek advancement through fraud nnd deception; in fact, in advertising our re sources we do not have to go outside tho county to find pastoral illustrations j nnd facta and figures sufficient to con-j vine the moat skeptical that we have the best all round country tho sun shines j on. Let tho experience through which this section has just gone and which we are ' all charitable enough to charge up to tho Ht. Paul fellow, bo ample warning ngainst any further attempt to boom our section at the expense of another. Let each section stand upon its own merits, and if Lane county cannot win out in this way it deserve to fail. We want no more such arraignments of Eugene through unscrupulous folly, such as appears in n Medford paper. Lot this experience enxry its Important and lasting lesson. Tf the local men bad nothing to do with the rank proced ure or tnoir St. ram representative, they should see to it that he i put off the job, so that he does not perpetrnte j somo other scheme equally as dangerous ( to tho integrity of this section of Ore- j gon In matters pertaining to its mate- i rial advancement and prosperity. m the state. 4- AMUSEMENTS.

Proftsaor iZHeblln,. glancing around to see where tho money would do tho most good, comes to bat with a sufr gestlon that we pension the mothers of the land. There Is nu Idea tbnt may meet with the approval of ull, nor should those who fear paternalism Is a slow kind of poison raise a howl that could be heard a block away, as the measure would be strictly maternal in Us nature. Mother would certainly know what to do with the money, nrid futber would atntul n round ou pay day as po lite and attentive as a book ugeut who Is explaining the latest things In llter uture to a millionairess. To the members of the family it would be like having money in the : bank. They would nlways know where they could borrow a quurter while ! mother had money- On the whole, it looks like n good thing.

Before I took the Emulsion I had no appetite; was weak; had lost nearly fifty pounds of flesh, and now I eat well and am gaining every day. I find Scotfs Emulsion to be very easily digested and a good food for all weak people."-FLORENCE BLEEKER, No. 1 Myrtle Avenue, Bridgeton, N. J. This is only one of thousands of cases where Scott's Emulsion has given an appetite. It's so easily digested that it doesn't tax the digestive organs and they rest; yet the body is wonderfully nour ished and built up. The digestion is improved then ordinary food is sufficient. Growing boys and girls, who need so much food to keep them well and strong, and also growing, should be given a bottle of Scott's Emulsion every few weeks. It does wonders for them. It pre vents their getting run down and spindly. Nothing does them so much good.
