HOW is Chrlatmaa spent In the far

who live In Oregon-s busy city
or In Oregon's pleasant towns Chrlst
maa come with It traditional and
multiple accompaniments. In you the
Christmas mood la stimulated by a
hundred things by tables set with
feasts, by post cards, gifts, trees, can
dles .and personal Santa Clauses: by
church services, gay window of shops
and InsUma of the day In the way of
aeals and ribbbona on- your mall and
packages: by. an Increased tendern

In the absence of these stimuli would
Christmas rtill b Chrlstmaa?
Would Robinson Crusoe celebrate the
day? Would his parrot say to him on
Ihe mornlns of the !5th. -Merry Christ
mas, Kobln Crusoe?"
Chrlatmaa la Vaiversal.
I believe that Robinson Crusoe
would celcbrste the day. I believe
. t. wm,--nt wrntilrl ereet him With
tho aero-old chrase of good will. For
Chrlntruas la universal. It Is every
where. There Is no soul so uncon
ventional lnlt attitude that It doesnjt
like aome ceremony, that It doesn't
practice some observance. Thus In the
absence of all things else our own
heart contain a resource for Chrlst
maa. No matter where we are or
what we are doing. Its annual recur
rence Is Inevitable. Christmas Is In-
. - ....ra
It touches childhood with greatest
emphasis: It Is most tangible In the
cities: but It Is felt by th blase and
the old: It reache to place most dis
tant and remote. '
Certainly on December 25 th Christ
mas spirit Is omnipresent In Oregon.
It hovers with the fog over the Oregon
valleys: it Is with the wind upon the
Oregon pralrlea: It Is with tho snow
upon th Oregon hills: It Is with the
surf along the Oregon beach.
Those who live In the faraway places
of Ihe st.tte feel It. and celebrate It
the lightkcepers. the loggere. the pio
neer school teacher, the forest rangers
and the homesteaders.

How Is thl spirit manifested at the
Oregon lUhthouses? The lights at Ban.
don. Gardiner anO Newport are close
to town. n whose Cnrislmae festivities
the keepers and their famlllea may
minglo. But Capj Blanco. Heceta and
Tillamook lights are Isolated and their
Christmas cheer Is of a different kind.
At Cape Blanco there are no children,
so Santa' Ciaue on his way from Ban

no means bereft of Christmas re
sources, having a conriderable quantity

On the 23th the bunkhou'se, which in
this instance Is a great, big nuilding.
Is transformed first into a dining-room
and subsequently into a ballroom.
Talk about things to eat! All the
culinary resources of the whole Gib
son's Mill country" Is represented on
the burdened tables, which now stand
aa one table .extending from one end
of the long room to the other. The ca
pable women who have prepared this
feast have not presumed to dictate In
what order these delectable and mul
titudinous edtbles shall be consumed.
If the food were segregated Into courses
there would be 100 at least. But there
are no courses of a dictatorial sort,
only those that each person maps out
for himself. If he wants to eat pie
first he eats pie first. Here is true
gastronomic democracy. Is there no
Joy in this heterogeneous consumption?
Is there? .
Dancing Is Began.
