Open House, Saturday Open House at Fox Bros, new terminal last Saturday evening was said to be one of the belt parties of its kind ever staged in this area. While no count was attempted, it was estimated by the management that more than 1(XM) people went through the doors between 4 p. m. and mid night. In the 60x80 building, at one time couples were so thick, it is said that dancing was impossible. Mrs. Ross Putnam and her or- gan furnished the music, with dancing between 9 p. m. and 1:30 a. m. Wives of the employees pre< pared much of the lunch served to people who visited the new terminal. Fifteen cases of soda; two hams, made into sandwich es. and countless pounds of po tato salad were consumed in ad dition to other tasty luncheon delicacies. Mrs. Paul Whirry pre sided at the sandwich bar. Fox Bros, reputed to be one of southwestern Oregon’s largest trucking concerns, has just com pleted one of the largest termi nal buildings in this section of the state, which gave reason for the Saturday celebration. Reasons Given For Odd Oregon Names The visitor motoring through Oregon may wonder about some of the state’s geographic names For instance, in Central Ore gon he may wonder if Brothers and Sisters are of the same fam ily; whether Horse Heaven is nice for people, too; if Diamond is a rough little town or whether its citizens ape all of the polished variety or if living is as soft os it sounds in Plush. Actually, Brothers, Ore., is in the same family as Sisters, since it was named in contradiction to its sister-town, which was named for the Three Sisters peaks in the Cascade range nearby. Horse Heaven actually was named be cause it was located at a site where natural pastures were lo cated. Diamond was named for the Diamond Brand used at a nearby ranch of the same name. The little community of Plush was named for an Indian poker player who could not pronounce “flush.” Of course, most places are named for geographical reasons or because o f some landmark nearby, or even because of some event which transpired during the early days. Blitzen, Oregon, for instance, was named for the Don ner and Blitzen river, which was in turn named by Col. George B. Currey’s troops who crossed the stream in a thunder (German. donner) storm. Briday Veil is named for the falls there that reminded early viewers of this Concluded oi page twelve
