Mr. Hlmcs letter and your editorial Indorsement of the plan to change the name of Mount Pit to Mount McLoughlin have been read with a great deal of pleasure. As expressed to me by Mr. Gannett, of the Board on Geographic Names, In .a letter recently received, "It Is up to the people of Oregon to move In the matter." The decision of the board at present is "Pit," but If good reasons can be shown for a change, backed up by a desire of the people for such change. It will be made. Mr. jumesWfa the best of reasons, but we need niage and Intelligent action. First, let us quit using Pit. Let The Oregonlan set the example. supported by the press) of the state and writers everywhere. Make no mention of Pit. but call it McLoughlin. without parenthesis or other explanation. .Let the Legislature take Kup the matter and officially declare the name to be McLoughlin, then let the Oregon. His- Board-on Geographic Names, and there Will ba no question as to' the result. WILL G. STEEL. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is Cutting Teeth. Be sare and use that old and well-tried remedy.
