by two or more names, with

which names ought to prevail,

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.

The best play that has been
seen at the Seattle theatre this
season, with the best producing
company and the most effective
and artistic stage settings, is this
week's offering, "In Wyoming."
Filled to the brim with breezy
Western comedy, there is not a
dull moment during the entire
play. "In Wyoming" is a com
