TtENAMING THE LANDSCAPE.
The Oregon geographic board will find a rich field of
labor awaiting it in Jackson county. 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.

THE LAST ACT.
Mow Touslehead ts fixed for bed
And, following her habit, -Darts
In aud out with romp and shout
With no more ttyin a rabbit
On ber wee form to keep her warm.
But frarmenture Is stupid.
And such as she need not to be
Clottied any more than Cupid.
At least at night for pillow fight
And rush ami roll and fumble
Such things as clothes and shoes and
hose
Just help one to a tumble.
And. though she felt no grief at all
Coinos to her where she's wriggling.
She glvns a roll Ood bless her soul I
And up she scrambles giggling.
And very soon to lulling croon.
In her pink nightie smothered.
She'll softly creep, almost asleep.
To a lap to be mothered,.
And. snuggled down for Srumbertown
And for the journey mounted.
Pokes out her toot and coaxes sweat
To have her "piggies" counted.
"This little pig' that means the big
One "went to market buying.
This plggie small went not at all.
But staid at home a-sighlng.
This plggie wee had roast beef he
Had purchased for a penny. j
And this pig small let loose a squall
Because he hadn't any. '
"This plggie wee wished some, for he ;
Imagined he would love It
He sgueakcdi 'Wee! Wee! Give some I
to me! .
Now. you give me some of It!' ;
Did he get It? Nay; not a bit 1
And nearly died of weeping"
Here's whero t go out tippy toe, ,
For Touslehead Is sleeping.

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. Let us phi;
for the mothers' pension.

"I have taken Scoffs
Emulsion for six weeks
and have found it a won
derful remedy. 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.

Beys.
- Medford people "endorse this:
Mrs. J. H.-Banssnm, corner Twtlftb
and C streets, Medford, Or., says: "I
suffered so severely from kidney troublft
that I was anabU to do any housework.
The kidney secretions were irregular
and caused ms ranch annoyancs. . My
back pained me intensely and when
stooping or lifting I had sharp twinges
in my loins. My health was much run
down, and at times I felt very miserable.
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought ts
my attention and I proenred a box at
Haskins' drug store. They helped me
from the first. X continued and was
soon entirely esred. I have recommend
ed Doan's Kidney PiKs to other suffer
