Here in the Klamath Basin we have the need of making a compilation of such names and their history. To some extent we can depend upon the book "Oregon Oeographlc Names" by Lewis A. McArthur, which, while containing a world of information In regarding the names of the state of Oregon still leaves much work to be done In oui particular region. With - the death of McArthur this particular phase of history has become more or less static until some new his torian takes up the task. From time to time tills column will carry the stories behind the place names of the Klamath Basin and we welcome any suggestions or corrections that can be made to our knowledge of these points of lpterest. As a matter of Interest let us look at the "A" series of names as they occur In McArthur's book as applied to Klamath County, they are: . ' "Agency Hill; Agency Lake; AI goma; Altamont; Anderson Spring (Crater Lake); Annlo Creek; Ap ' plegate Butte: Applegate Peak: Arant Point (Crater Lake); Aspen Lake" and that is It. You can gee that we do need to take some active Interest in the names of our country so that when ques tions are asked an intelligent an swer can be given as to their origin. I am sure that without much thought any resident in ; Klamath County could give a much i longer list of place names begin ning with the letter "A" than is ' to be found in McArthur's work ' and this column would welcome suggestions so that that Information may be printed here and thus bc ' come a source of information that ' may be saved by all who are In terested. The scope of the Klamath Basin la much greater than Just Klamath County and so In the pursuit of . our elusive game, our hunting ter- rltory will reach outward to all , ' the points that have a bearing upon the historical development of this particular area. 1 McArthur has written an Inter esting analysis of the origin of names as they apply to Oregon, I but the same la true for all the i Pacific Coast. "The origin ot geographic names m Oregon may be traced roughly to six periods In the history of the ststv, and in most Instances j the names themselves Indicate ap . proximately the epoch In which they were applied. The six periods may be described as follows: "First The period of aboriginal Indian life, which la reflected in Oregon by the existence of a con siderable number of Indian place ' names, some of which were ap plied by Indiana themselves, and some later on by whites. "Second The period of explora tion by aea along the Oregon coast, with resulting names strong ly Spanish In flavor with an Eng lish admixture, ."Third The period of overland exploration, extending into the era of the fur trade,., the application of French, Indian, and additional names of English and American origin. "Fourth The pioneer period, re sulting In the application of a large number of eastern place names to Oregon communities, generally for sentimental reasons, and also re sulting In the use of many pioneer family names for Oregon features, particularly for streams and moun tains. "Filth The Indian wars and the mining periods, resulting in the application of the names of sol diers and also of the plcturr.so.ue nomenclature that always follows the early pursuit of gold.- "Sixth The modern period ot made up names, real estate phrase ology, and the occasional praise worthy ellort to apply a suitable historic or Indian name to some- around. contented and delighted with everything and everyone! She Is very special." What makes her so special? A publisher friend of mine says this would describe any author he has ever known. I am glad to ace this book on astrology for cats published. For years I suffered from an allergy to cats, which, happily. was able to conquer. For many more years, however, I have suf fered from an allergy to people who believe in astrology. This al lergy. fight it though I try, I can do nothing about. Even the dictionary defines as trology as a "pseudo science," and the dictionary usually has a nice word for everything. The Idea that people aolually believe events on earth are controlled by the posi tion of the stais and planets thor oughly depresses me with the fu ture of the human race. When I aee a man who attends church buying an astrology maga zine i can i ncip wondering; wnc he Is trying to make a fool of his Ood or hlmaell. People who believe In astrology i cannot neip but classify with those who have a blind confidence ihnt picking up a toad will give thcin warts and that it they leave a horse's hair in a bottle of water for six weeks It will turn into a snake. Recently I nicked ud a Cleve land paper and was astounded to note it estimated that 50.000 oen. pie In the area read astrology pub lications reguiariy, for flays I've pondered what to do to save them trom themselves. Is there no pnuanthropic society willing to float propaganda balloons. Into Cleveland and led these lost fin. COO souls about how wonderful life is in uie outside world? Paganism is at least worth philosophic consideration, but as trology? neverl For numans. that is. a cat shouldn't find it too hard to be lieve in astrology. After all. a cat doesn't believe In people, so It has u oeneve in something. ine volume at hand. "Horn- scopes for Pussy Csts," offers this sound warning to cats born under the slim of Aries, from March 31 to April i: "You are susceDtlble to heart. aches and weakness ot.the. kid neys. Don't eat too much "Ho or you may suffer from a tng over. Take more milk." Perhaps this is a hidden warn ing to the 50.000 astrology fans In Cleveland. Who knows? uncs you believe In astrology tua bm yuu pc sure 017 was the easiest looking handyman! no matter how enthusiastic. Cer- lob that I ever botched. Everything came by freight, Just like the man said, to make an efght-footwlde disappearing door, I got it preassembled, as was promised. In a couple of hours. Being too heavy to handle alone, I called In Will Oardner, genuine carpenter and mechanic next door, to help me hang It during his lunch hour. Well, Will waa there two days, both of us working like beavers, before we got the door working. And it wasn't the door's fault. Before ordering I had measured the door opening correctly but failed to test it for squareness. I knew better and had I done so I never would have bought the door. The garage had sagged on one side. The opening was out of plumb, the corner angles not square. The door waa square snd wouldn't work otherwise. We had to tear out the big door frame, square and rebuild it, and put in a new threshold which cost more than the bargain door. That s what I mean about look lng behind instructions and being prepared for the job. Don t be discouraged: every time you'll learn a little. Doing it yourself will make you more self reliant, more contented and proud thing that bears an unsatisfactory title." Though McArthur Bpent years In the pursuit of names he stated that even with his compilation, an exhaustive analysts of the orig in of Oregon names would be pre mature since he recognised the fact that his material was exceed ingly sketchy. He went on to state; "There are probably 60.000 gro graphic features tn Oregon suffi ciently Important to be dlstlna UIMird by names. At least half of these features deserve but minor consldorallon. For the most part they bear simple descriptive names with no historical background. There are Innumerable Drv, Alka li and Fish creeks, and Bald. Rocky and Huckleberry mountains. The remaining 25.000 names of urcgon geographic features are oruvy oi serious study." McArth ur has Information on about 3.400 headings in his book, and these headings cover approximately 5.000 fealures, or as he esllmated, about one-filth of the more Import ant names of the slate.

Tlioufh major in a y, u By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D, Several correspondents have In quired regarding white patches on the tongue and Inside of the mouth which Is a condition known as leukoplakia. 'In replying to these, without quoting any one of the questions specifically-, I should like to emphasize that this Is a condition which should not be ne glected since these patches can become cancerous. Not all of them do develop into cancer, of course, but thev should ne kept under observation and an effort should be made to eyre them. A person with leukoplakia of the mouth should avoid smok ing or chewing tobacco altogether and permanently. Such a person should svoid al coholic beverages, highly sea soned foods, and" placing anything In the mouth which is irritating. In some cases local treatment, addition of vitamin A to the diet, or other measures may also be In dicated. Under certain circum stances, surgery or perhaps the use of radium is advisable, but, of course, this or any other meas ure should be used only under ex pert professional advice. The Important nolnt about nlf. oplakla is, I think, that this is not a simple condition which will cure itseir. Q I am almost 1 years old and, as yet, my breasts hsve bare ly oegun to oeveiop.

Generally speaking, it Is wise not In Int.r. fere with nature's plans, and since you are not yet 16 the chances are you csn count on further develop ment as time goes on. Q Please tell me If either liquor or tobacco could poison a man and keep on Increasing the harm for three years sfter both habits are completely stopped. H.M. A 1 1 suppose It is possible thai permanent harm could have been caused by too much alcoholic bev erages or possibly even tobacco over a long period of time; Ordinar ily, however, one would suspect that the harmful effects would lea sen after the habits had been dis continued and not get worse. Q Will vinegar kill tuberou losls germs? Mrs. E. M. A Assuming that you mean vinegar taken by mouth and its effect on tuberculosis germs in the body tissues, the answer is "No." I suppose that a culture of tuber cle baccllll placed In a strong so lution of vinegar for a long enough time would eventually die, but I am reasonably certain this Is not what you mean. Q Could cancer or polio come Irom what is put in bread to keep It fresh longer? Reader. A The finger of suspicion Ins not been pointed at auoh substan ces either as a possible cause ot cancer or polio. Q Do you think cabbage Juice has any value for stomach ulcers? Mrs. S. A I do not think so or at least that it Is In any sense a substitute for more convention al methods of treating peptic ulcer. lalnly It is a pretty toed index ef a man a general status in tne par ty. But It is not "delegate" talk- As the time for lining up dele gate draws near, the leaders points of view change from an easy doling out of fulsome praise to practical political trading". Those who think they have some thing to gain by bargaining stop acting as it tney weie reaay to give away their delegates for nothing. Recent developments in the south oner illustration. Both Ste venson and his friend Stephen Mitchell, former Democratic na tlocal chairman, labored hard in ihe southern vineyards to rebuild party strength after president Ei senhower's heavy 1952 Inroads. They felt thereby they had greatly advanced Stevenson's own cause for 1936. Very likely they have. But they got a surprise wnen sen. Rlcnary Russell of Geoigla not long ago mentioned Onto & Democratic Gov. Frank Lausche as a good pros peci lor 1936. Though Lausche no doubt would have a considerable appeal to southern conservatives, he was not being seriously advanced nominee. It was Russell's way of reminding Stevenson and any oth- rrn northern candidates that the South will not deliver its support for the asking. It will want, to know what the party proposes to ao platform-wise and perhaps on the vice presidential nomination to give the South recognition commensurate with Its strength ootn in tne convention and at the polls. This is the standard Dolltlcal pattern or tne months leading to the convention. The days of glib i m ior Aaiai" taiK are gone. Stevenson is in fact poweifullv placed t get the nomination again. But ha clearly will have to trade for It and fight for it. The prize is too big "to be given away oftsn by Politicians who are trained to exaot their "auid Dro quo" in rtturn for favors extend ed. If ha doesn't already know them, - Stevenson Is now learning the hard facts ef political lift.
