Locals have the better of question on
, all but. one phase. . .
After having' attained a higher po
sition in forensic circles than it has
ever been the lot of this city to en
joy, the La Grande high school team
last evening met defeat in the bands
of Peiidleton on the L. D. S. ros
trum. The audience resembed that
of the average prayer meeting, but
what few did attend were excellently
entertained, for, as Chairman T. H.
Crawford affirmed, it was a pleas
ure to listen to young men and wo
men who are so well versed in the
problems of the day. Using the nega
tive side of the commission form of
government, Pendleton proceeded to
outline a system of government that
was not exactly of the commission
plan but included all the virtues of
that form. ; The line of argument by
Uitt ttuii man km cicai , out oppai-
ently, the reason that the fudges gave
the decision to Pendleton was that
the local debaters failed to round up
the numerous points brought out, V
La Grande covered an enormously
wide scope In structural argument,
while on the other, hand Pendleton
'displayed a less wide knowledge of
the subject but had in' hand more
concisely, the few points they did
present La Grande was manifestly
the better fitted to handle dictation,
English, rhetoric and oratory than
the Pendleton people.
La Grande has won a decided string
of victories this year. Teams falling
under their influence include Elgin,
Enterprise, Baker . City, Ontario and
Cove. ,

Dog poisoner continues to kill valu
able animals by poison route
" A temporary humane society has
been formed by necessity in this city
and the chief object of the organiza
tion is to apprehend and have pun
ished the miscreant , who persists , in
poisoning dogs and cats. C. P. Fer
rin, Mr. Martin X K. Wright and
others are among the last to lose
valuable animals from this cource. .
A reward of 50 has been posted
and will be given to the person dis
covering the identity and having pun
ished the person doing the work.
,' So Incensed has the public become
that stringent action has been deem
ed necessary and the Observer lets
fall a gentle admonition to the
person whoveer he may be that dis
covery will coBt something more than
attorney's fees right now. 'If ever a
community is justifie d in hustlin out
of Its confines any individual, It cer
tainly. Is in this connection, for a
person that will '.wilfully ttad per
sistently throw innocent; animals Into
pain and suffering by poison, is de
serving of something severe. ' .
