In a The debate last evening between the Columbian Society of the Portland Uni versity and the To-Logeion Society of the Portland High Schdol was Tn easily bj the latter. The question was: "Resolved. Thai the United States and the several states should establish courts of compul sory adjustment of disputes between em ployes and private corporations which pos sess franchises of a public nature" The winning team took the affirmative. The Judges were: Messrs. J. F. Ewlng. R. "W. Montague and Dell Stuart, whose rinding was m points for the university, and S? for the High School. Arthur E. EreeCe acted as chairman. Frank Hayek, of the To-Logelon Sodety. opened the debate, lie gave as a remedy for the Injunction, the present relief, a commission of three men under the Court of Equity, one to be appointed by the corporation, another by the employes, and the third to be agreed upon by the em ployers and the employes. Mr. Hayek ex plained the position of his team wellvand became very enthusiastic In his d-scourse. The opening for the negative was macs by E. A. Dunlap, whose principal argu ment wasjlhat the proposed scheme was contrary to the law of liberty. He said that no commission should be given the authority to soy what a man should work for. "It Is an acknowledged right," !"ild he. "for a man to say, "I -will work for you for a certain sum,' and it is also a right for every employer to refuse to pay that amount and offer a lower one." He added that It will also kill the competition be tween corporations, and showed the dis astrous effect of this. The next speaker was H. "W. Bailey, for the High School. He averted that the present system of the Injunction was not what was best His four reasons for the same were that It Is an ex parte measure; denies the right of tr.al by jury; deals only with results, not causes;, and that It Is Issued only after the strike has been precipitated. To show that the proposed plan was practical he pointed to Kpw Zea land, France and Massachusetts, where, he raid. It la working to perfection. He concluded with reasons why compulsory arbitration should take the place of blocdy strikes. C G. "Wakefield was the next man to come forth for the Columbian Society. He thought that unions in general wculd be encouraged. In the hands of which there J Is already too much power. He declared that labor should be able to accept or reject, but should not be able to make the proposition. "It Is Inconsistent" sa'd he, "to economize laws. And then gov ernment has no more right to meddle with a corporation franchlsed by the public than It has to take a hand In the affairs of private corporations. The laboring class antagonize the rich simply for jeal ousy." Raymond TV. Steel, the next speaker, probably won the most po'nts for the To-Logeions. His delivery was excellent, and he tore down his opponents argu ments with seeming ease. He showed that the negative was nsing suppositions, and then proceeded to quote from various prominent people to show his authorities. Te told how easily it will "be for the pro posed law being enforced and the lack ol additional cost, both of which arguments the negative had brought up. lie also took a decided stand ag-ilnst the present inter commerce act which he thought was un Just J. H. Snlvely closed for the university. His delivery was especially good. In con. elusion, he said, his argument was os the line of impracticability of the pro posed law, going on to show that outside people could not decide a labor question. Steel closed the debate with rebuttal for the High School. He brought up every one of the arguments of both sides, and h's treatment of them brought forth great ap plause. At the announcement of the decision the . Ctlumblan debaters gracefully shock hands nith their opponents, and were In turn greatly cheered by the. audience. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Severe Bicycle Accident Other Mat ters. Alex Strong, who lives on East Burnslde street sustained a fracture of his left shoulder yesterday evening in a bicycle collision on Grand avenue, at the corner of East Stark street He was riding northward on the west side or Grand avenue the wrong side ot the street and J. Griffith was com ing southward along the same side. Mr. U ninth, of course, had the right of way, but It seems that Strong did not sec him coming. Griffith expected that Strong would turn to the right and thus get out of the way. but he did not do so. They were then within 10 feet of each other, and it was Impossible to avoid a collision. The wheels cams together with great force. Griffith, in order to save Strong from being hurled headlong on to the plank, seized him by the arm and held him up, but could not prevent his being Injured. Strongs wheel was badly wrecked. Griffith, who escaped with only a severe shaking up, took Strong into the near drug store, where it was found that the tatter's shoulder had been fractured. He was sent home and his Injury was at tended to. The accident seems to have been the result of no fault of Griffith, lie was on the right side of the street, and did all In his power to prevent tho acci dent and by holding Strong from going down on the street doubtless prevented more serious Injury. Griffith remained until Strong was properly cared for. Preliminary Surveys Mode. The operating committee of the City Water Committee has caused surveys to be made for the proposed water main in the vicinity of the Doernbechcr factory, tho object being to obtain an estimate of the probable cost of the main. The sur veys extend out the Sandy road, and also along East Twenty-eighth street south to a connection with a 4-inch pipe line. At the meeting of the Water Committee re cently held the petition for a C-lnch main was referred to the operating commit tee. On completion or the factory plant, wafer will be needed for the boilers and for the large number of men employed there. Mrs. Hawthorne proposes to erect 10 cottages north and 10 south ot the gulch. There will, no doubt be other buildings go np when the factory is in operation, and the main will likely pay Interest on the money it will cost The committee will not lay a main on an un improved street, however, and can only extend one out the Sandy road. The in tention Is to Improve East Twenty-eighth street from Burnslde to the Sandy road. and extend a spur from the City & Subur ban Railway on It The plah proposed Is to make a circuit A C-lncb main will be laid out the Sandy road to East Twenty eighth street then extend south along East Twenty-eighth to a connection with the main that supplies Mayor Gates' ad dition, and also northward through the Dcernbecher factory ground, across tsul Uvan's Gulch, to a connection with the main on East Broadway, thus making a complete circuit Of course, it Is by no means settled what will be finally done, but there Is hardly any doubt but the main will be laid at the proper time, as the Interests involved are large.

Dangers From the Cold and Blustery Sprlns. From New Tork Herald. "Tho present fall of temperature over a largo area of country, and tho probability of its continuance for some time, is very likely to affect the public health, by the Increase of all such troubles as commence with the 'ordinary cold." In this connee tlon we cannot lose sight of the fact that grip is still prevailing, and although It has been on the wane there Is a threat In the present cold wave of a revival of the former malignancy of the scourge. "Wo can hardly congratulato ourselves that the danger from pneumonia is likely to be less with the Incoming and Inclement Spring than It was in the months gone by. It goes without the saying, then, that we cannot take too many precautions." Dr. Humphreys' Specific "Seventy-seven" ("77") restores tho checked circulation (Indicated "by a sudden chill), the first sign of taking Cold: starts the blood coursing through the "veins and so "breaks Up" the Cold.

PRUNES BADLY DAMAGED THEV ARE STARVING TO DEATH, SAYS R. K. WARREX. Thinks Protracted Cold Weather Did More to Destroy the Crop Than Did the Frost. PORTLAND, April a I have Just re turned from my prune orcnara on i Columbia River, In Clark County, and am forced to admit that the Italian prune crop In that county is practically ruined. This fact is plainly evident from a care ful examination of my own orchard, and is confirmed by the testimony of several of the large growers In different localities. Now, as to the cause. "Were the prunes "killed by frost or by the continued cow weather? Let tis review the weather conditions during AprlL Up to the 7th of the month tho prune crop seemed assured. On the attention of that date a cold wind swept over the Northwest, accompanied by hall and snow. Tho Italian prune was Just in the fruit-forming stage. On the mornings of tho Sth and 9th frosts prevailed, but from observations taken In various local ities the temperature did not fall below 30 degrees. Our efficient Secretary of Horti culture has repeatedly slated that It re quires a temperature of 2S degrees to Mil the young prune. Since the dates above noted, the weather has continued, cold temperature ranging from 40 to CO degrees during the greater part of tbe day, with an occasional light frost in the early morn ing of a few days. Now", it Ja & well-known fact that the effect of-frost is indicated when, on ex amination, the young fruit is turned black. Of course, development Immedi ately stops. But on the 26th (when tbe examination was made), I found scarcely any evidence of frostbitten fruit On the contrary, the trees were still holding a large portion of the fruit, which had grown since the frosts of tho Tth and Sth to the size of wheat kernels. On shaking the branches, however, this fruit would fall, and a careful Inspection revealed the tact that the stem had turned yellow for a quarter of an Inch or more from the baw of the .fruit thus plainly Indicating an arrest of sap circulation and a conse quent death of the prune from starvation. Tho cause, therefore. Is plainly-evident, namely, the long-continued cold weather chilled the soil and the atmosphere hin dered a tree circulation ot sap, and de prived the young fruit of the necessary food for its nourishment True, the frost may have kille'd some of the fruit, but had the weather turned warm after the frosts, I am firmly of the opinion that we should now be rejoicing In the pros pect ot'a bo'unteous fruit harvest. I might say, in passing, that In the opinion of experienced growers, frost has never dono material Injury to the prune crop of Clark County. It would seem to be necessary, therefore, in order to Insure a good crop of prunes, to contrive some means of greater efficiency tnan the "smudge" arising from burning piles of wet straw. R. K.

Or., April 27. The people of the Heppner Hills region are much p eased with the new train service, that brings them The Oregonlan the same day It Is pr.nted. and thus keeps them in close touch with tho world. But they, feel that they are entitled to their mall and dally paper seven days a 'Reck, instead of six days, as now. The Sunday Oregonlan, with Its wealth of Interesting reading, leaves Portland fresh from the press, comes up the Co lumbia Valley and alights frpm the east bound train at Heppner Junction. It id still 43 miles from Its Heppner readers, and Is sentenced to sit around there 21 hours whllo its subscribers arc longing for it. Why? Because the good Govern ment has not yet gotten around to giving Heppner people a seven-day mall ecrv.ee. While The Sunday Oregonlan Is still sitting around nt Heppner Junction, doing neither Itself nor anybody else any good. The Monday Oregonlan comes along and says: "You are now out ot date, and might as well not go up to Heppner you have slept on your rights." Losing a whole day at Heppner Junction every week is not only the fate of The Sunday Oregonlan. but also that of many letters which should be in their owners' hands at Hcnpncr and the vast tributary territory extending away to the sou.h for more than 100 miles. The stage for Canyon City and intervening ssttlemcnts does not leave Heppner on Aionuay, De cause there Is no mall to take out It la impossible to take it out when it Is lying at the junction. 4j miles away. Ana in the meantime tho Heppner business men receive Saturday afternoon's business let ters. Involving thousands of doilcrr, which require Immediate attention. Say that answers arc at once written and posted in Heppner. The Government lets them wait here for 2S hours hefore giving tnera a start, and Heppner business men art given undeserved blame for delay. Heppner people hope that their great ana good Government will note all these facts and give them a seven-day mall service. Funeral of Mrs. Denllnger. INDEPENDENCE. April 2S.
