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.

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.
