It is a rule of the department not to permit any double names to be adopted. In this Idaho case it was particularly desirable that the designation chosen by the colony should be adopted by the government. Mr. Wilson's application was denied by all the subordinate officials, but he carried the matter to Postmaster General Wilson and secured an order from him making an exception to the rule in favor of teh New town.
