V , Baker, Or., Dec. (.Tuesday marked a , new era in the history of Baker. Mayor-elect" C L. Palmer and Commis sioners Henry and Flnley , hava : taken their oath of office, and for the next four years thlB city will ; try out the new clan of commission form of muni' clpal government. This plan originated ,wlth the city of Galveston following the destruction of that city ana so success ful lias Uie plan been that many east ern cities have adopted it The function of the new government Is divided into three parts, each cora-mi:-.ioner being; the head , of one de partment, ' i " ' ' 1 he mayor is the executive of the de partment of public affairs, by virtue of his office. . The three departments are named as follows: .- - . - . ' J. Department of public affairs. : 2. Department of streets, sewers and lights, , ; . -' , 3. Department of Water, fire and san itation.'. ,. . i '., ; . ..' ., The "Baker plan"- was devised by a number of the leading business men who believed the time had come when th city should have its affairs 'handled as efficiently, as the affairs of a private corporation. It is believed the new plan will save the city many thousands of dollars. -. '.-' ; '" :-' , ' A ' lively session . was held Tuesday when the old city council met with the new officials, 'at whicS tlm the busi ness affairs of the city were placed in the hands of the new administration. There Is much speculation as to the appointment of a s chief of police and other officers and many candidates are in the field, but no definite statements have been made by the pew mayor and his , commissioners. By adopting the commission 'form of government, Baker goes on record as the first city In the state of Oregon to adopt the modern method of municipal government which stamps the eastern Oregon metropolis . as progressive and abreast of the times. -, Jefferson High : School Notes Boy Scouts Organized." ; .

Athletics .have flourished this week with both, the, toys ana girls. . The boys hive used the gymnasium five nights a wefek bo far, but are now ob liged to divide.- This seems hard, es pecially for the basketball team pre paring for their first game. The girls held a" meeting Tuesday, at which the following officers were elected: Chairman, ' Minnie Menefee; treasurer, ' Ruth Cushion; secretary, Fern Wodrich. The committee on reso lutions submitted a report Which was unanimously accepted. - It was decided that the members would have a candy j sale during the Teachers',-Institute. v, On Thursday the first gymnasium practice was held, with Miss Hand as a leader. ..The. time; of practicing haB been set permanently for Tuesday and Thursday. J - The past week t.as been one of actlv lty,for the glee clubs. ; Extra practicing has been .necessary In order that they might be .ready for the program which, they are to give at the teachers'. Instil tute the 21st - of ; this - month, Three, very pretty songs are under prepara tion under the; leadership of Madam D'Aria. It 1? expected that 100 voices will sing in the mixftu chorus, consist ing of 25 boys and 75 girls. Much en thusiasm has beoi displayed over this particular school activity. , , Friday of last week the Alpha Debat ing society (the bays), became a perma nent organisation when ' the first Offi cers took their office officially and the constitution1 wasr fdopted and signed by 24 young. men. The charter was voted closed, and so the literary work among the boys of Jefferson high has begun. The , first literary program will i be held ' Friday, the 16th. The sub ject under debate is as follows: Resolved, "That Cities Should Control and Operate All Surface Carlines Within the City Limits." Much Interest is be ing displayed in the preparation of this first debate. ' Each member of the so ciety has pledged to do his best for the building up of the work of the organiza tion, and so they all have reason to be lieve that the club will grow and pros per. Following arc the orricers: res ident, Clarence H. Sprague; treasurer, Mr. Thomas; serfreant'at arms, Kenneth Morrison; , critic, Mr. Mellandy, who is also the faculty .nember In charge. -t;' ,' : ' Friday afternoon ' a special assembly of the boys of the school was addressed by Frank Moran of Seattle. MtCMoran is the high school, secretary, of the T. M.. C. A, of that city, giving his entire time to the organizing and promoting of the group clubs or - Bible c classes. These classes conrist of 10 or ,42 high school men in each. They meet at dif ferent homes each week for a; Bible class session, a social time and to transact their buttress.,' This plan has worked excellently well, having enrolled 300 boys last yea, in that work. "Mr. Moran spoke along the line of "True Values," showing:, how so many high school men do not place a right value on their life callings t.rd upon' their school life. Too many fellows are , willing to sell their character that they may be come popular in school life. He em phasise! the fact that the fellow who was popular wul4 not be the fellow who ' would be : remembered in after years, but it would be the fejlow who was doing some good for the fellows he came In contact with each day that would be remembered.' Mr. Moran's talk was very helpful, and was appreciated by those who beard him. v , will take place here the coming week. It is expected to be one of the most interesting International trials that hai taken place for a long time, but the newspaper statements , that the trial is fraught with the gravest possibilities for the peace of Europe are not taken seriously here. , The charge against the two officers la that of trespassing for the purpose of espionage, and attempting to con vey military secrets to a foreign power. The 'trial will not be conducted in se cret and the accused will be given. fair play in the fullest sense of the term. They will be defended by Dr. von Gor don, a prominent International lawyer of Berlin, and Dr, Hans Otto of this city. Permission will be given the British government to be represented at the trial, which will take place under the civil law before seven Judges.
