HONOR IS FREMoNrs
PATHFINDER" CREDITED WITH
NAMING golden GATE"
First Gave II AppelIatlon of "Chrys.
opolae," ForeseeIng That 1t Would
Outrival Famous Golden Horn
of Byzantlum.

The name given to the entrance of
the bay of San Francisco was not sug.
gested. as is sometimes assumed. by
the discovery of gold in California,
although its bestowal occurred nearly
concurrently with that event.
So far as we know, the first per-
sons to enter the harbor through the
Golden Gate were the crew of vessel
commanded by Lieutenant Juan Manu-,
ell de Ayala Of the Spanish royal navy.
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
This was on August 5, 1775. They
were shortly afterward followed by
Bruno Heceta, who was under orders
to cooperate with Juan Bautista de
ANA, who had been dispatched on the
bay of San Francisco. Heceta sailed
from San Diego, and, after protract-
ed voyage, arrived in the harbor and
laid the foundations of Fort Point.
SO far as written records are con-
cerned, tiey are silent on the subject
of naming the entrance, and it is prob
able that no one took the trouble to
apply a particular designation to 1t,
although the islands and points about
the bay were promptly supplied with
appellations. De Ayala is credited with
giving to what we call Angel island
the name of Isla de los Angeles, but
he forgot to christen the opening
which gave access to it from the
Pacific.
Numerous vessels passed through
the entrance during the period be-
tween the foundation of the mission
of San Francisco and the American
occupation in 1916, but there is no
intimation in the records which cap
tains or their crews have left for US
that it had been named. The opening
and the bay we're described by several
shippers, and particular Joints were
referred to in manner that makes
then recognizable, but no one seemed
TO think that 1t was necessary to con-
fer name on the front door of the
harbor, whose beauties and import
ance they extolled until an American
thought it worth his while to do so.
To John C. Fremont belongs the
honor of comforting the appellation
Golden Gate, but curiously enough. lin
accordance with the tendency which
had not yet run It's course, he called
it "Chrysopolae." This designation
appears on the map of Oregon and
California which accompanied the
geographical memoirs published by
him in 1S4S.
These memoirs were written before
the discovery Of gold at Suffers mill.
which was made in the same year,
and in them Fremont took pains to
make clear why he had selected the
Greek title. Like all the discerning
pioneers, he was profoundly impressed
with the belief that the harbor would
one day bear great commerce on its
waters, and that it would outrival
Chrysoceros, the Golden Horn OF
Byzantium.
The pioneers accepted the name.
but promptly converted it into Eng
lish, aud doubtlessly many of them
who had no acquaintance with the
geographical memoirs of Fremont
imagined that 1t was the steady
stream of gold passing through the
portal which suggested the happy
title.

HUsTING WINS IN HIGH COURT
Granted Writ Of Mandamus to Get I'M
mediate Election
Decision.

Madison.--Se nator-elect Paul @.
Husting won decision in his plea in
the supreme court, that the state can
vassing board forthwith obtain and
canvass the original returns on the
United States senatorship, fetching
the returns from the three counties
wherein pending recounts are holding
them.
The court, five to two, overruled the
motion of Gov. McGovern and the at
torney general to quash the alterna-
tive writ of mandamus and sustained
the preliminary order requiring the
state board of canvassers to act as
asked by Mr. Husting The order Low
is that the state board must obtain
and canvass the returns not later than
Dec. Is. Chief Justice Winslow and
Associate Justice Barnes dissented.
This means that the counties of Mil
waukee, Dane and Douglas must send
in the original count on the senator
ship and the state board win then,
doubtless, issue a certificate of cleo
ton on the basis of this count, which
shows that Mr.. Husting has been
elected by a plurality of about 1000
votes.

TEACHING EVE TO OWN LAMB
Among Other Plans Advocated Is That
of Taking Skin From Dead AMI
NAL and Placing on Another.
By F. NJ. NELSON. Oregon Experiment
Station

CBy f. NJ. NELSON. Oregon Experiment
Station.l
Nearly every year one lamb or
more dies, even out of the small fiocks
that run on the general farm. In such
cases the ewes may be made stepmoth-
ers. But, Of course, it will be neces-
sary to get the eve to own the strange
lamb This may be accomplished in
either of the following ways
The skin may be taken from the
dead lamb and placed over the lamb
to be adopted. Ewes recognize their
lambs by the scent, and the odor Of
the lambskin will make the eve be-
lieve that the lamb is her own. The
skin should be removed in about forty
eight hours, or sooner If necessary.
The eve may be caught and held
every two or three hours for the new
lamb 70 suck. In few days, generally
five Cr six, the eve will own the lamb.
Sprinkling a little of the ewes milk
over the lamb win be great help in
this method.

States department of agriculture. long
after peace has been restored. War
Is an Unsuitable consumer of horses
ano the available supply must be d.
minishing so rapidly each day the
present conflict lasts that It is in
evitable that there should be, a great
scarcity for agricultural purposes
later on. As soon as International
commerce can be restored to a peace
footing, therefore, the European coun-
tries are certain to look to America
to supply a great part of this lack
The department of agriculture,
however, does not recommend Amer
lean farmers to purchase a surplus of
horses merely In order to breed them
to meet this prospective demand 1t
is much better to secure good mares
for the ordinary farm work and then
breed them to good stations. Only
horses Of high quality may be profit
ably raised today, but there is no
reason why such animals should not
be used for farm as we'll as breeding
purposes.
While inferior horses are always a
drug on the market, the demand for
serviceable animals appears to be al
most unlimited. Together the United
States and Russia possess 5S per cent
of the world supply, and Russia will
need all that 1t can raise itself. The
United States, therefore, must furnish
the bulk of the animals needed to re-
place those consumed by the present
war. War is even more destructive
to horses than to men. In his report
for the year 1865, the quartermaster
general of the United States army
stated:
The service of a cavalry horse I'M
der an enterprising commander has
averaged only four months During
1864 there were 500 horses consumed
per day in the Northern army, with
out considering those captured and
not reported. During eight months of
that year, the cavalry of the Army of
the Potomac was remounted twice,
nearly 10000 horses in all being re-
| quired. During his Shenandoah Val
ley campaign Sheridan was supplied
With fresh horses at the rate of $50
per day. 1t must be borne in mind,
moreover, that the numbers engaged
in the American Civil war were small
compared with those under arms in
Europe today.
Leaving out for the moment the
question of remounts for military pur-
poses, it is said that for a complete
mobilization the German army re-
quires 10000 horses and the French
army 100000. The figures for the
French army probably include only
those for the cavalry and do not take
into consideration the needs of the
full artillery, the transport service and
other military uses to which horses
are put. The great majority of these
animals are not included in the per-
manent military organizations but are
employed during peace Ia farm work.
Now that they have been withdrawn
| from the farms to die of wounds, ex-
haustion or starvation, tremendous
imports will ultimately be necessary.
Farmers in the United States should
prepare to meet this demand.

THREATENS UNCLE SAM
TO FIRE ACROSS BORDER WOULD
BE UNFRIENDLY-cA
Says Such an Act Would Amount to
an Invasion of Mexican
Territory.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Dec. 15-''If the
United States employs force to stop
the firing by Mexicans across the in
ternational boundary line at Naco, it
will be considered an unfriendly act,
Notwithstanding the friendly motives
cloaking the act"
In this manner General Carranza
made answer in statement to the
press to the formal notice served by
the United States on both Provisional
President Gutierrez and General Car.
rama that unless such firing ceased
force would be employed to protect
American territory.
at no time since the receipt Of Sec
rotary Bryan's note, in which atten-
ton was called to the repeated wound
ing and killing of residents of the
town on the northern side of the line,
has General Carranza appeared per-
turbed, but he has had long confer
ences with those close to him and, in
framing his reply, it is said, he has
been careful not to let himself remain
in any uncertain light.
General Hill, who is commanding
the constitutionalist forces at Naco, is
on the defensive" continued General
Carranza, land since his back was to
the line it is difficult to see how he
could be responsible for the firing in
question. The fact is that Maytorena's
men have been the attacking party
and there it appears reasonably clear
that they and only they, could have
been to blame
Il remember similar instances at Ell
Paso, when the Maderista forces we're
attacking there In that case those
shot were, for the most part, the i'm
prudent and curious individuals who
fiocked to witness the fighting as if it
had been a spectacular show, staged
for their benefit.
"As to the use of force, of which Mr.
Bryan talks, that is something the
gravity of which, fear, he does not
fully appreciate. He says it would not
mean an invasion of our territory nor
violation of our national sovereignty.
It would. And, moreover, it would GER
tainl-' be an act directly against the
constitutionalists, who now hold the
town, and in favor of the Villa forces,
who would be left free to continue
| their operations. 1t would be simply
tying General Hills hands and leav-
ing Maytorena free.
Il certainly hope that the good
ct Ia ~.
ward the Mexican people will pEevent
the consummation of Secretary Bry-
ans threat"
