Last Day Shopping Rush Surprise to Albany Jlcrchants ALBANY (Special) An almost phenomenal last day rush of Christmas buying Monday caught many local merchants napping and boosted the sea sonal volume in most lines here to an all-time high.

The lesion, entitled "Christmas as Des cribed by Missionaries in Other Information, CANNIBAL MOUNTAIN Nineteen centuries later a sign daubed upon a board at the out skirts of Oregon City pointed to ward a morass that was the road to The Mills that became Salem. Come With Auto In horse and buggy days the need for road signs was not urgent. Hardly anyone ventured beyond a known territory with Old Dobbin. Event of the practical automobile brought the need for numerous and reliable road signs. They came in profusion after 1!)20. Now Oregon stale highway de partment, counties and cities paint signs and engage crews to erect them. And it is a growing bus-: iness. A remote country cross roads without its sign is an ac cusation of negligence on the part of some authority. Sometimes folks are heard to complain about the mulliplicity of signs. But to try to get along without them would add cuaos to contusion. Some Amusing Some road signs are amusing, others stimulate inquiry. Some do both. Such is the sign for Hungry Hill Road midway between Scio and Crabtrec. Did the hill get hungry?" Non sense! But those who lived on this 655-foot butte in earlier days prob ably did. The soil there was so thin and rocky that the struggling farmers gave up in despair and moved away. Thereafter the hill was Hungry Hill. Another hilt in Ihe Jefferson area is called Hard scrabble for the same reason. And over in Clackamas County there ' is a community called Needy, not because of area unproductiveness but because some early settlers there were in a destitute condition. So much for poverty row in pio neer Oregon.

At first It was New Jerusalem road; a later generation dropped the "New." Tourists approach ing Lake Louise In the Canadian Rockies are confronted by 19 signs (lower right) pointing to grandeur but attached to a single post. (Capital Journal Photos) ' son to suppose that folks from Hungry Hill and Needy resorted to cannibalism on Cannibal Moun tain in Lincoln County. Iteally, no one seems to know how this J 946 foot peak did get its name. But this writer who on occasion found himself in that region famished and bewildered had a disposition to eat his wife. , . So, his facetious explanation for the name may be as sensible as some already pub lished. Jerusalem Hill Derivation Derivation of the name Jeru salem Hill Road between Dayton and Hopewell was determined by ringing doorbells and not from McArthur'a "Oregon Georgraphic Names." i About 1900 a dozen or so families of Adventists settled in this locality and named the road New Jer- ' usalem out of consideration for tltoir religious precepts. After the old family heads had disappeared , a younger generation dropped the , "New" and settled for Jerusalem Hill Road. Other signs along Oregon high ways and byways likewise reflect names for piety and divinity. Over in Clatsop and Tillnmook Counties there is a Gods Valley, so named presumably because famished and thankful hunters found vension in that vicinity. The sign pointing to Gods Val ley obviously originated, and re cently, in some highway sign shop. Gods Valley sign is a fre quent target for vandalism. But pious folks in the neighborhood are not cynical about their sign. WATCH! WAIT SAVE ClgPf Section 4 Page 3 Derivation rrtv-.T3 They castigate those who would tamper with it by a quotation from Jeremiah (44:29) "And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the Lord, and I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words surely stand against you for evil." Saints Give Namei Marion County has its Sublimity, Linn county its Providence and nearly every county in the slate has a place named for some more or less prominent saint. Oregon is not deficient in names significant to the Christian religion. Its Indian names are not much used because they are incomprehensible and un pronounceable. Even those born within and not traveled beyond their county boundaries get a cosmopolitan feeling from reading a Linn County road sign that points to such cele- r P,ace, namea as merlin, Waterloo and Lebanon. Cynics who soy these place names are "Corn" foisted upon the community by some hick school teacher are in vited to read the other sign on that post: "Sweet Home, eight miles." Tourists approaching Lakt Louise in the Canadian Rockies are impressed by a sign on a single post that directs the travellers at tention to 10 major scenic attrac tions. The landscape is an inspira tion. But Ihe conversation reverts lo the post and its signs. "Say, Ma, wouldn't that post with all its signs make a great hat tree for our lodge hall?" FOR PENNEY'S!"
