WOK BY HIGH SCHOOLS.
Defeated rortland I'nlverslty
Debate.
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"

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. "WARREN.

Seven-Day Mall Needed.
HEPPNER. 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.

EXCURSIONS TO PORTLAND.
Visitors Coming Here This Summer
Vim the Rock Iiland.
There are very good prospects for sev

the general passenger agent of the com
pany, to the Western Passenger Associa
tion for special excursions to and from
Colorado and Utah points. This was neg
atived. A tnessage received here yester
day from Mr. Sebastian states that hU

the blight was caused by an undue accu

excellent yield of Italian prunes. The out
look for prunes of other varieties is very
satisfactory.
