Saddle horse races, horse shows and square dances are among the special events which have been scheduled during the four - day fair, which runs through Saturday. Fair manager Lee Pruitt said that, from early indica tions, the number of entries Duplication of Oregon Area Names Generates Confusion By PRISCILLA AVERILL Mail Tribune Correspondent Grants Pass - Considerable heat has been generated around the state lately over the confusion caused by the duplication of some Oregon place-names. There are, it has been complained, too many "Salmon" rivers, "Fish" creeks and "Bald" mountains. There is even another "Rogue" river - in Polk coun ty. This current confusion might never have resulted if our more prosaic forebears, who named, some of these places, had used the ingenuity displayed by southern Ore gon's pioneer prospectors in dreaming up names for their mines. There is ample evidence In Josephine county mining rec ords that the early-day gold seekers hereabouts were not handicapped by the lack of Imagination which handed down to us an overabundance of "Bald" mountains and "Sal mon" rivers, Had the owners of the "Steam Beer Placer" and the "Bone of Contention" mine got their heads together on naming a mountain stream, for instance, it's a cinch they would have come up with something more original than "Fish Creek." When it came to thinking up terse titles, the miners were without peer; whole stories can be read into the names they chose for their lucky (and sometimes not so lucky) claims. One was called the "Tough nut Property." (Did they suc ceed in cracking it?) Did it give them as much trouble as the "Holy Terror" mine? It's ten to one that the gold in each of them was a lot harder to get out than that of the "Free and Easy" mine.

Many hint of luck; such as "Lucky Dog Placer" and "Four Leaf Clover Pla cer" - but the name of the 'Surprise Mining Company" hints that its discoverers nev er expected to find it in the first place. Some pet names, like "Lit tle Dandy," "Little Gem," and "Little Marvel," snow their owners' affection for the source of their sudden wealth; but the one we like best is the "Humdinger Mine." It must have been. Some names reveal the miners' hopes for vast riches: "King Tutt Prospect" and "Bullion Mountains, Inc." (Now there was no piker!) Other miners, more frankly interested in the end results, hung on such titles as "Ten Mine," "Legal Tender Group" - and "Green back Mine, which is still in operation to. day just north of Grants Pass. True or not, the very names of these mines make one sus pect they must have yielded more wealth than "Hole in the Ground Plncer" or "Dry Diggings," "Lost Prospect," or 'Last Chance Placer." Some names hint of the miners' joy at the time of the strike, such as the "Happy Day" mine; but one wonders if they hadn't celebrated not wisely but too well when they christened the "Blue Mule Claim" and "Red Elephant Claims."

Collier said the the tabul ation was made by John B. Marshall, Senior Statistician of the State Board of Equaliz ation. "These figures appear to indicate that Siskiyou coun ty is in a favored position with respect to receiving more from the State than is paid by the county's taxpayers," Marshall told Collier. Marshall's c o m p utations showed that Siskiyou county taxable sales were .15 per cent of the state total, and personal income was .28 per cent of the total, however, personal income tax was only 1 per cent of the amount collected throughout the state.

It's only to show that had they been discovered in the first place by such men as our early gold miners, their names would not now be a "Bone of Conten tion." Marshall tabulated the fol lowing $3,660,409 in state al locations to Siskiyou county during the 1961-62 fiscal year: state subventions: education, $1,877,600, public health $25,442, county roads and grade crossing $102,430, other public works $9,601, social welfare $504,451, ju dicial $13,400, other pro grams $7,199; subventions total $2,540,213.
