LARSEN, Real Estate, Insurance 6538 Foster Road Business AnL 636-30 The quest for the origin of the name Oregon has been forwarded somewhat in recent years. The name as it now stands is first recorded So far as known, in Jonathan Carver’s “Travels Through the Interior Parts of North America”, published in 177S Recent study establishes the fact that Carver got the name from a fellow soldier. Major Robert Rogers, who spelled the word Ouragon in one place and Ourigan in another. The rew material in the case is summer • eq bv T. C. Eli.ott in the current Quarterly of the Oregon Historical So-iety. Major Roger. who was a frontier fighter in the French and Indian war. being detailed to receive the surren der of the French forts as far west as Mackinac in 1760, conceived the idea of an exploring expedition to lo cate the northwest passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific which was greatly desired by seamen. W’ith this end in view he presented two pe titions to the English government, one in 1763 and the other in 1772; in the first he speaks of “the river called by the Indians Ouragon” and in the second he mentions “the great river Ourigan Rogers loaned both his plans to Carver who was enabled to draw on them in preparing his own book. This disposes of the question as to where Carver found the name Ore gon, but it leaves the origin of the name still to be determined. Mr. Elliott offers the conjecture that Ouragon is the same as the French word “otiragan”, meaning windstorm, hurricane or tornado; the great river of the wlbt was “supposed to rise in western M nncsota and flow west ward through Dakota and Montana, w-here blizzards in winter and torna does in summer are still known to prevail”. The conjecture is more reasonable than others that have been put forward.

The perMiasivs appeal of intelli gent. truthful advertising, nersistrnlv applied, ia the only thing that really can bring .the volume of sales to n peak that will permit the reduction of profit on individual items. W hen you buy advertised goods you have the satisfaction of knowing that the dealer who sella them does so with a confident belief in their merit. It is natural that the lavishing nf wide publicity on any product should tend to elevate the quality of that product. The manufacturer, through advertising, creates a demand for the article or articles he makes. If he ex. pects to hold the market resulting from that demand he must make a worthy product. TYe volume of his production built up by the constantly growing market, due to advertising, lowers manufacturing costs and ena bles both the manufacturer ami the retailer to take a minimum profit on their sales. The alert retailer cashes in on the reputation established by honorable manufacturers and stick* with their goods. He knows it will hold his o—" trade and result in quick "turn ovens.” The advertising columns of the new -papers -ketch briefly and attrac tively the buying opportunities of the day. They lead the consumer to the counters of reliable dealers from whom he may aspect square dealing and dollar-for-dollar values They constitute an authentic guide to the legitimate stores in every community. liecause this is true it will pay you to read the advertisements closely and constantly. Compare values and make the most of your expenditures. You’ll save hours in time and dol lars in money by knowing what you want, where to get it and. approxi mately, how much it will cost you.

Z Seeing Is Relieving Sure, everyone has a few persons! friends who can be made to believe he is a merchant, when he isn’t even a good storekeeper, but there are thousands of people who would be re minded all the time that he was in the game regularly if he carried an ad in the Mt Scott Herald. Seeing is believing, and more than ever so,since old man Volstead took a shot at us. And when a man sees, he has to believe. Where, do you stand on the ques tion? Do you keep your light so hid den that only the bushel basket shows? You have heard of the man who wouldn’t let loose of a dime un til he saw the milled edges of two dollars ? “You ain’t it.” Do you want the Herald to guarantee the re sults? Come in and talk it over. II Defective Plumbing The law of sanitation requires that prompt attention be given to all defective plumbing. It prevents the spread of sickness and disease. The law of self-interest requires that you employ a firm that works quickly, acurately and without excessive charge. We install new plumbing and repair anything in that which is defective.
