Between 5000 and 5000 immigrants
will probably make their homes in
the Willamette Valley within the next
six months. This at least is predicted
by many who have noted the eager
ness with which Fasteners are
already taking advantage Of the
colonists rates westward. A GER
tain proportion OF these will come to
Polk county and to Dallas. Just how
great or how small that proportion
shall be rests with US. Practically
every community in the Willamette
Valley is now thoroughly imbued with
the spirit OF publicity, or as the popu-
lar phrase has it, boosting" Sur
rounded by counties and cities that
are eagerly thrusting forth their var
ious merits to the prospective settler,
Polk county and the cities of Polk
county cannot afford to be silent. 1t is
up to them to get into line and do the
same, if they desire their share of the
lew and desirable population that is
low coming into Oregon.

An experienced breeder says that in
the case of twins it is well to pace
them with the mother in small, sep
arate pen for a day or two, in order
that they may become acquainted, and
to avoid the danger of one OF. the lambs
straying away, which may cause trou-
BILE. When lambs are born weakly
more care is required, and unless the
shepherd is with them to see that they
are sucked soon after birth they are
liable to become chilled and die. II
the lamb is too weak to stand up and
suck, it should be held up and some
milk MIXED into it's mouth, when ii
will soon take the teat and help itself
or the eve may be gently laid upon her
side and the lamb brought to the teat
on it's knees or side, and held, as above
indicated.

Winning His Name.

No doubt many persons have Won
dered where and how Admiral Evans
got his name of Fighting Bob" 1t is
q name that is in thorough accord with
the admiral's rugged face, every line
of which denotes the power and pur
pose Of the soul within.
Fighting Bob Evans he is called
by the people in the same tones of af-
lection and admiration with which
thew speak of President Roosevelt as
''Teddy; :" and it is probable that in
this aspect the layman will like best to
lingeringly consider him - this sailor
chieftain with the homely, scanned
square-lined countenance that would
serve Rodin, the sculptor of rugged
ness. perfectly for the model of a fight
ing face.
1t must not be thought that this pop
ular name came to Evans out of any
banquet hall grafton, nor, in the least,
has he ever bid for the tinsel glory of
being a newspaper-made hero. 1t was
given him before he could raise mus
tache-in fact, before he could raise
even the mere wisp of a mustache.
Out of his modestly worded book,
"a Sailors Log" is best to be found
the origin of the nickname for courage
and aggressiveness that he bears. Sew
enteen years old and an active ensign,
he was a member of the naval brigade
that assisted the Union army in the

With four wounds in his body, prone

to a bitter fire for more than five
hours. Three men who tried to rescue
him were shot dead in his sight. But
when night came two sailors found

1oy-these make the home and these

so apprehensible to us all as when it is
expressed In these terms, when to be
loving to our own, to plan and sacrifice
for them, to share our joys and to-
gather closer in the home circle be-
comes an act of religion.
These simple common elements make
Christmas so nearly q universal re

belongs to us all. We worship at a
miracle Of love, the same through
which we had our being and about
which all our homes are knit
The sense of this home significance
brings us hurrying from afar to spend
this day at our own hearthsides; this
moves us to pity for the homeless and
desolate on this day and gives the
deeper pain to thoughts Of vacant
places about the table and by the fire.

Faith finds expression through the
home We give ourselves again to our
own; we who have been so engrossed
with our daily cares once more smile
with the children or take our places
again as children in the old home, and
so fill the parents cup Of happiness
to overfiowing. A broad feeling OF good
will for the whole world is not worth
much just here If it is leaving SOME
