(b) A list of all places known by two or more names, with statements tending to show which names ought to prevail, and the reasons therefor. " (c) A list of places having no names, with reasons for bestow ing names upon them, and sug gestions for names for particular places. The Board will be under great obligations to the State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, to the county superintendents, and to the conductors of teachers' in stitutes for any help they may see fit to render teachers or pu pils in the way of advice as to the methods of carrying out the above suggestions. For the guidance of those in terested in this work, the follow ing rules are submitted : Euphonious and suitable names of Indian, Spanish, or French origin should be retained Names suggested by peculiar ities of the typographic features designated such as their form, vegetation, or animal life are generally acceptable, but dupli cation of names should be avoided. Names of living persons should be applied very rarely, and only those of eminence should be honored. No personal names should be attached because of relationship, friendship or per sonal interest, nor should names of obscure persons be given. Names of eminent men now dead may be thus perpetuated, particularly those of early ex plorers. Long and clumsily constructed names and names composed of 'two or more words should be avoided. It is a foregone con clusion that such names will not be adopted by the public. If the name selected consists of more than one word, thewordi should be combined, if possible. ' The multiplication of names for different parts of the same-; feature, such as a river or-mount-ain range, should be avoided. Only one name should, be ap-1 plied to a stream or mountain range throughout its entire length ; in the case of a river the name should follow up its? longest branch. In most cases independent names should be given to a river's branches," and the use of "North Fork," "East Fork," etc., should be discour aged. For the present communica tions should be sent as follows : All matters relating to Multno mah, Clackamas, Hood River, Klamath, Jackson and Josephine counties should be addressed to Will G. Steel, 424 Lumber Ex change, Portland. All matters relating to Benton county-and all of Eastern Oregon except Klamath county, should be sent to J. B. Horner, Corvallis. All matters relating to Clatsop, Col umbia, Washington, Tillamook, Yamhill, Polk, Lincoln, Marion, Linn, Lane, Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties should bo sent to Joseph Schafer, Eugene.
