It Is possible to build up a Teal high school, imbued with tho high school spirit, so long as tho pupils are surrounded by and under i the influence of the rules and spirit that should characterize the lower -grades. But there Is still another Wnd of "high school spirit" besides that found Immediately In tho school Itself, and that Is the spirit of tho community, toward tho high school There should bo a strong enthusia stic spirit of encouragement amon; the public for everything educational undertaken by the high school. A community is most always judged by the degree of this spirit. For in 'Btance, mere is in existence now a Stato High School Debating League. This was founded by tho advice of the state superintendent, the presi dent of tho state university and other leading educators throughout tho state. Tneso debating leagues are an Important feature of higher edu cational work, In the east, today, and deserve every possible encourage ment, as of tho greatest possible val "ue to secondary schools. The Marsh field High School is a member of the league, and the championship for the Southern district, embracing Klam ath Falls, Medford, Grants Pass, Rosdburg, North Bend and Marsh- Held, n6w lies between Grants Pass and our own high school team. This la no Slight distinction in itself, yet 'wo seo very little of tho school spirit manifested, and no enthusiasm among 'the general public or press of tho community to encourage our ,. team. The championship is to be deter mined by -a debate between Grants Pass and Marshfleld at Itoseburg, on the 2S Inst. The league ruj?s requiro each team to bear its own expenses when meeting on mutual ground. If one team visits tho homo city of another team, tho visiting team are at no expense, tho homo team defray ing them all. Tho rules also allow each team to bo accompanied by ono member of tho high school faculty, In tileinterests' of fairness, and If thero aro ladies on tho team, by a chaperon, nil expenses to be born by tho school sending tho team. The cost to tho Marshfleld team to Itosoburg and back, with Incidental expenses of attendants, will bo not less than ?135.00. Thero Is lemalning from the receipts of the last dobato about $35.00. Tho question Is, how is tho other $100 to bo raised? Let our pub lic spirited citizens show a llttlo of the school spirit that, characterized Tho Dalles in their preliminary de bate with Hood River. Tho prominent business men of tho town, among themselves raised enough money to charter a special train and decorate it brilliantly, inside and out with bunting, ponants and other forms of school colors. Then over a quarter of a thousand of the leading people of the city accompanied tho team to Hood River, when, under tho impetus of tho enthusiastic work done, victory was assured. Now, cannot our peo ple do at least as much as to raise tho necessary funds for our trip to Itose burg for tho championship, without tho humiliation of our having to ask for it by circulating a subscription list? Start a spirit of enthusiasm. Lot our high school team feel that interest is takon in tholr efforts, and, If they como homo tho Qlipmnlpug of at"P district, gvo them ft rotislnc ro - JVUon, one. that will bo nil oyont In their lives. Wo have u high school. Its pu 'n'lls, in tho thoroughness and accura cy of their work, stand among tho best. Show them by an enthusiastic public spirit that their work la worthy and their efforts aro appreciated. F. A. GOLDIiNk If you want an IncubnVor, write or call ou G. E. Mickey, North Bend.

Another Illustration of tho re gressive, spirit of the Myers Store, North Bend, will be given this week when on Friday and Saturday 5 per cent of all its sales will go to the Mercy hospital of that cfty. Visitors will find the commercial atmosphere universally synonimous with busi ness establishments, conspicuous by reason of Its absence on Friday and Saturday; for, not only will tho In terior of the Myers Store bo metam orphosed Into a veritable fairyland, symbolic of spring, but, on this oc- caslon, the store will bo turned over to the Catholic ladies who will re- ceive and entertain the visitors. In the basement of the store an original and unique idea has been carried out. The basement is of the same floor dimensions as the main floor. One half of It ha3 been turn ed over to tho carpenters and they have transformed It into a typical California summer garden. Ever greens, rustic walks, minature lakes and grottos combine to form a real istic picture which ellcts unsparing praise from tho surprised visitor. As a climax to the whole, in one portion of tho "garden" ono steps Into a lit tle theater, with footlights, drop curtains, stage and background. The auditorium of this novel playhouse will seat comfortably 55 people. Its financial success is a foregone con clusion. What theatrical treat the ladies intend for the public, they are holding in reserve until Saturday afternoon. It will be in the realm of music however and Mrs. Langen berg will be in charge. Titere will bo a program both in tho afternoon and evening. Friday afternoon the reception committee will give a musicale on the main floor balcony and will also servo punch.

PKEDICT HUGHES XOMIXATIOX Slu-cml Man Says Hughes Will Get Bulk of Cannon's and All Knox' Votes On tho Breakaway From Favorite Sons. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. Three of tho shrewdest political observers in tho country, men with many years' experience in National campaigns, af ter two weeks' canvass and confer ence at tho expense of tho Washing ton Post, predict tho nomination of Governor Hughes. Their analysis of the ballots at tho convention shows: Oregon four for Hughes and four for Taft; Washington four for Hughes and six for Taft. Tho following is tho basis of tho predictions: Taft will on first ballot lack about 150 of nomination. His total may Increase In the subsequent ballots, but not sufficiently to nomin ate him. Hughes will bo 25 or moro behind Taft on tho first ballot, but Will increase on every ballot until ' nominated," I Oil no btiiiut Will u majority of any i candidate's, vote be transferred to , Tate-, tho candldato who, although i his Voto may bo large to begin with, Will lose votes quickest, Is Cannon. "Whon tho majority of Cannon's voto goes to Hughes, following tho break away of somo Cannon votes to Taft, I tho Pennsylvania voto will follow tho . bulk of tho Cannon voto to Hughes. ( On the same ballot, when that move-, ment Is seen, tho Fo raker voto will go to Hughes. Tho Fnlrbanks and La Follotto votes will onduro longest, but, if tho balloting is prolonged, enough votes to nomlnato Hughes will go from them.
