JULY 22, 1982. GEOGRAPHY. It is unfortunate that a sente of geography does not naturaHy grow on one as he enter* the newspaper profession. -There are several mistakes that have become do common to the Portland press that they excite no more resentment but merely a feeling of pity . • . - One of the most common of these is the confusion between Morrow county and Moro a city in Shopman county. This mis take may be noticed every now and then and it seems a particulari- ? ly foolish one. - . 4 : - tl < ’ * - — . Many persons in other parts of the state always presume that ' Wasco, the city, is located in Wasco county which it is not, al though it was named when a part of that county. Lately in the public prints there has appeared the account of the wedding of one John Kitzmiller, noted as a handler of football opponents. He was reported to have been married in Dallas, Ore gon, a W illamefte valley town, and in The Dalles, Oregon, a Col umbia river town some 160 miles away from Dallas So confus ing have been the reports that we don’t know yet where the fam ous athlete did take his marriage vows. But the mistake that grinds most heavily on us is that error- of calling Sherman county Sheridan county. This county is not new. It has been on the map for over forty years. It has consist ently been the producer of the second largest amount of wheat of any county in the state. ¡It has the greatest percentage of culti vated land in any county in the state. It’s quality is very good although in point of quantity it is small as Oregon counties go. Really, we think it is of enough importance that it deserves to be correctly named. • ---------- 0---------- TAX PAYER RELIEF TOO. --------- o---------- A railroad man in San Francisco asks newspaper support to help take the government out of business.

The resignation of Leslie Scott from the highway commission > at this time is a matter of regret for every taxpayer in the state. In v his short time as a member of the road body, Mr. Scott has dem onstrated his ability as an organizer and has shown his interest in the men who are paying for the work done by the commission. His stand for a lower wage for unemployment work, which caused his resignation, was based on the value of such work to tbe highways. In these days of machinery, hand labor is expensive and it has been impossible for the state to spend the automobile o a ner,s money effici- ntly for hand labor, v Mr. Scott’s statement that the highway, commission was not cash to merchants demanding cash a charitable institution was correct as long as he was at tbe head and charge elsewhere- Credit will be of that body.
