There are many questions involved In

of the Portland Railway, Light & Power
company, which refuses to pay its share

Because of this fact the officials are
afraid to sward the contract without

that one obvious reason 'for the name

i'ookookapok Is not the name of a
pond In Hturbridge town, Worcester
county, Massachusetts. This will
doubtless, come as a severe Jolt to the
antiquarian folk who cherished the I
name or PookookaooK. There is some
thing soulful about the simple name i
rookookapog, something suggestive of
me simple aborigine who once, may
hap, toasted his prisoner of war before
a hardwood fire on the banks Of the
historic and romantic pond which, alack-a-day,
the board on geographic names
says Is to be called Alum Pond.
Podunk Is a historic name whirr.

town somewhere or other, bore the
name Podunk. The pond was also
known by some as North Pond, but "the
board of government savants has de
cided that its name is not North nor
Podunk. but Quaboag. This is doubt
less a blow aimed direct at tha vmith
