I'laco Names
By KEN MCLEOD
The history of any community
1 locked up In the place names
given to the various geographical
' features of its countryside. 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.

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.

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

Q Will vinegar kill tuberou

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

time would eventually die, but I
am reasonably certain this Is not
what you mean.

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

Though Lausche no doubt would
have a considerable appeal to
southern conservatives, he was not

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

Stevenson is in fact poweifullv

How To Carve

NEW YORK (UP) How to
carve a Thanksgiving turkey,-or,
no matter how you slice it, you

Here are 10 simple rules
' l. Be prepared. Pick a auarrei
