Origin of Oregon Name Traced to Orejon Tale
The Oregonian’s Archbishop Blanchet essay discusses how the name Oregon likely derives from the Spanish word Orejon meaning big ears. It suggests Captain Carver popularized the term after hearing or writing it as Oregon, influenced by Spanish pronunciation. The origin is linked to early explorers and missionaries in Oregon, Washington Territory, and nearby regions.

Supernatural Tales and Suspected Witchcraft at Bronte Farm
The Pioche Weekly Record recounts legends of rats avoided by a sharpened nail, healers with charms for equine colic, and a "white witch" lineage in Linguagloma. It notes a 106 year old robber with magic, bones unearthed at Pagano’s cottage, and a Bronte priest whose death coincided with a local miracle. A woman receiving the Sacrament later suffered demonic madness attributed to the priest, with exorcism attempted but abandoned.

Unexplored Boramina Plateau Attracts Botanist Hopefuls
In far western British Guinea a high plateau 5000 feet above the tea lands attracts interest as tribes there have lived in isolation. Explorers note cliff faces 2000 feet above the plain and no White man has yet ventured around the foot of the plateau. A British party plans a cautious expedition to penetrate Boramina, facing hard terrain and potential dangers. If successful, the district could yield a rich botanical harvest and new natural history discoveries.
