An Oregon newspaper, backed by public sentiment, proposes to rename several hundred of the towns In that state which are today striving grow under the handicap of most grotesque and outlandish pellations, says the Register to the Leader of Des Moines, la. There Is nothing like a euphonious and unpretentious cognomen. The life activities of many a man have been seriously hindered by the un fortunate significance, or absurd sound of his name. Men who for any lawful reason find their family names a source of inconvenience or humiliation, are permitted to choose some other title. The people of Oregon think that the same right should be extended to towns. A person studying the map of Oregon would discover in unblushing print a civic nomenclature which would outdo in bizarre ineptness the infamous titles chosen by the grace less young officers of the British army a few centuries ago when they were required to rename the Jews of London. The map is spotted with towns bearing such names as "Mur-! tlprer's Gulch ." "Crooked River." "Desolation Creek," "Rattlesnake," "Pistol River," "Muddy," "Needy," "Sucker," and scores of others which are no less ridiculous. All of these towns, assert most of the people in the state, ought to be renamed im mediately. There certainly is reason in such a movement. There would indeed, be much wisdom In appointing some sort of committee to rename a cer tain per cent of the towns of a half dozen other western states. A town which Is known to men as "Murder er's Gulch," must have an arduous time of it trying to convince pros pective residents that it is a decent and proper place to live. The liter ature disseminated by the booster's committee of "Desolation," no mat ter how specious, would defeat Its own purpose by the mere name of the town it celebrated. When white men first invaded the western country they had little thought of acquiring permanent res idences. Most of the early settlers hoped to make their fortunes and return to the east as speedily as pos sible. The Idea that the rude camps they formed would endure and be come Identified with wealthy states, did not come until later. Conse quently, when the names for such camps were chosen, the temporary residents had no hesitancy in giving expression to the grim humor which was an essential part of their rough lives. Tho old pioneers were a light liearted, careless, irrepressible breed of men who could laugh at their own misery and homesickness, and who named their towns with facetious re gard for thpir desperate condition. Tho names of these western towns served them well enough a few yoars ago. But tho west Is chang ing. Great prosperity has come to tho country, and dignity. Many of tho towns will eventually become cities, and figure largely In tho com mercial worjd. It is time that tho wostorn towns prepare for their fu- turo greatuess by preparing, first of nil, to do business under responsible names. HOLIDAY SNAPS.

If a Coos Bay woman is unable to preserve her complexion she begins to pickle It. You may have noticed that there are more Coos Bay men with block heads than wooden legs. The day has passed when you can pretend to know things. People want to be shown. Lots of -Coos Bay people Imagine there Is something wrong with them If they haven't got a cold. It's surprising how many things the average Coos Bay man can find to criticise and how few he will com mend.
