FEMININE NAMES IN OREGON.
Some days ago inquiry was
made of The Oregonian by a stu
dent of Agricultural College at
Corvallis about the origin of the
' name of Mary's River ; and of
Mary's Peak, near this place.
These names were given by Adam
E. Wimple, earliest actual settler
there. He was from Oneida
County, New York; was a bach
elor, and named the town Marys-
ville, for his sister Mary, who
never was in Oregon; and gave
her name also to Mary's River
and to Mary's Peak.. He said,
"I wiJl make my &ister's name
known forever "
But Marysville was a name so
commonly , used that the Legis
lature ac an early time, while
Oregon was still , a territory,
changed the name to Corvallis.
The territorial capital was-once
changed from Salem to that
place, but after much wrangling
was soon taken back to Salem.
At the time when the name of
Marysville was changed to Cor
vallis the name of Albany was
changed to Tekenab,- but 'the
name failed to obtain ipprovat
and "Albany" was restored.
Feminine names are not abund
ant in the geographical nomen
clature of Oregon; but another
occurs at this moment, whose
origin is worth remark. It is
that of the county named Jose
phine. It was named for' a young
girl, Josephine Rollins, daughter
of an early settler and gold miner
there. The county was created
in January 1856. Josephine
Rollins, had been a heroine in the
Indian troubles of the country
and if we mistake pot was one
of the victims of the savage war
fare. Several postoffices in the state
have feminine names, some of
them from pioneer women; others
from old mythology. It is re
membered that the name Meha
ma. in Marion County, was from
Mehama Smith; that of Albina,
now incorporated with Portland,
from the wife or daughter of the
late W. W. Page. Anabel and
Clarnie the latter named from
the first syllable of Clara and the
last syllable of Jtnnie are sub
urbs of Portland
It would be worth while, doubt
less, to explore this field further.
A.few streets in Portland, and
perhaps in other towns of Ore
gon, bear feminine names, of lo
cal origin; but on the whole our
women have not been honored as
they should be, in our geographi
cal and local nomenclature. The
town of Florence, in Lane Coun
ty, was named, we think, for
A. B. Florence, member of the
Senate from Lane, in the first
Legislature of the state. Ore

SEW MUSICAL SOCIETY
BEST DAIRY COUNTRY.
T. H. Schribner, president of
the State Dairymen's Association
of Wisconsin, jn a recent address
before the Albany Commercial
Club, said that Oregon is the
best dairy country in the world
and that dairying can be carried
on here in the Willamette Valley
more cheaply and with better re
sults than -anywhere else in the
United States for the reason that
the mild climate here provides
green feed almost all the year.
and this is resDonsibie for the
small expenditure ' required in
dairying. Because of the favor
able climatic conditions, farmers
here' are hot required td house
their stock so many months a"3 in
some states. - So great are the
dairying possibilities of the Wil
lamette Valley, Mr. Schribner
said, that , hundreds of Eastern
people will come here in the next
few years to engage-expressly in
that industry.' " ' : Ji
' Tariff Changes Considered.
With few exceptions the inter
ests affected by schedule" A. of
the Dingley tariff, which includes
over 100 articles under the head
ing of chemicals, oils and paints,
do not desire any changes' in the
rates of duty now operative. This
was indicated at the first hearing
for consideration for revision of
the tariff held before the House
committee on wayo and means.'
The majority of the - ways and
means committee claim that it is
necessary for this country to
adopt a tariff with a maximum
and minimum rate of duty in or
der to conform with the tariffs
adopted by France, Germany and
Russia. In this way the United
States could gel the benefit of the
countries in return for the mini
mum rate of duty of our tariff.
In foreign countries .which have
adopted .. such a tariff there is a
reduction of about 20 per cent in
the minimum rate. The manu
facturers who were advocating
a protective tariff want the com
mittee on ways and means to
make the present rate of duty the
minimum rates in the new tariff,
but which would result in a con
siderable increase in the rates of
duty for countries which have no
"favored nation" clause to offer
the United States. -
WELCOME NEWCOMERS.
According to the latest reports
nearly two thousand newcomers
took advantage of the recent low
colonist rates and came out to
Oregon during the ; last three
days-in October, the Harriman
lines bringing in over a thousand
of these prospective settlers.
Most of them were people from
the East and Middle West, who
are coming into the country with
a view to . making new homes,
and, if they are made of the right
stuff, they will never regret their
coming. They have arrived in
a state where five-acre farms
support good-sized families and
where people have grown rich
from, the output from ten and
twenty acres of land. There are
still plenty of trackless forests to
be subdued, and plenty of virgin
soil to be broken. Naturally the
pioneers in the country did not
select the poorest land, but that
which is still available at ' low
prices is so far ahead of much
that is obtainable in the more
Uncle Joe Cannon will, in all
probability, succeed himself as
speaker of the 61sc Congress.
Many members who have fcoen
closely associated with Mr. Can
non during his occupancy of the
chair assert positively that there
will be no opposition to him by
the time the Republicans meet to
caucus on the Speakership. This
means that the affairs of the
House will continue to be run by
the "Big Five;" the speaker and
Representatives Payne, DalzelL
Tawney and Mann, of Illinois,
who will probably succeed Sher
man, since the promotion of the
latter to the Vice-Presidency re
moves him from further partici
pation in Congress.

Speoialties ef the Friggitriej In Naples'
and Genoa. ; . ct
Huge meaty chestnuts are found ev
erywhere in Italy. Peeled and boiled
Ux a. reddish broth seasoned with-laurel
leaves and caraway seeds, the nuts
are palatable. 'About two dozen of the
large kernels are. sold for a penny; In.
both Genoa and Naples the friggltrici'
are interesting, and some of "their spe
cialties are well worth a trial if "one
can forget the unappetizing appear
ance of cooks and cooking appliances.
One friggitrice attracts attention to a
tray of golden balls which she piles in
a pyramid. The golden balls are arti
chokes. They are boiled In salted wa
ter until tender and ore put in a pan
over, steam to keep them hot until a
customer appears For threepence the
Tender will take brie from the steam
ing pan. dry it. dip it into batter, and
pop it into the hot oil. A moment
later a golden brown ball, delicious
and crispy On the outside and tender
and succulent on the inside, is handed
to the purchaser. The frying is man
aged in such a way that when .the
fritters are taken from the kettle they
are very hot. but so dry on the outside
that they scarcely soil the fingers when
eaten from the hand. Another frig
gitrice specialty is that of cheese balls.
They are made of paste .filled with
grated cheese and fried. Mashed chest
nuts, rice, chopped chicken and many
vegetables are used to . vary the fillings
for the popular fritos. Some of the
frying kettles are portable, and the
friggitricl have regular routes like the
milkmen, where they tap at the base
ment door, get their orders, take their
tiny bellows and blow up the char
coal until it glows and then cook the
breakfast of meat balls or rice cakes
or artichokes, which are sent in hot.
