There are some very peculiar names

"In Corvaills lives a man named Calf;

a Mr. Henn and a Mr. Plgg. Mr. Hogg,
the former presfHent of the Oregon Pa
cific railroad, is pretty well known In
this state; there Is a Bull and several
Bullocks living in Portland; but the
only man whose name Is really Mudd is
a grocer, and lives In Cathlamet, Wash.
The force of the state abrevlatlon In
this instance is lost in its obvious ina
bility to do Justice to the subject."

To the Editor:
In this evening's Budget I am an
nounced as a candidate for the city
superintendent of schools. 1 wish to
istate this publicly, that I am not a
candidate in any sense of the term. To
my mind no one can fill the position of
principal of a school and at the tame
time do the duties of city superintend
ent, without neglecting either on? or
the other or both. The only extra vir
tue I claim in this matter Is that I
have sense enough to know it. Re
spectfully,
JOHN D. HAWES,
