The Oregon Dally Journal's Eugene corespondent says: Lebanon won the state lnterschol- astfc championship last night In the debate with Astoria by a vote of two to one. The judges were W. W. Cot ton of Portland, Senator I. H. Bing ham of Eugene and A. X. Preseott of Salem. The question was. "Resolved, Thai members of the legislature of the state of Oregon should be chosen by a system of proportional represen tation." Lebanon supported the negative, and the work of the Linn county rep resentatives showed great construc tive ability. The Astoria team, though they put up an excellent ar gument, were unable to break down Lt'lianon's strong attack. Snyojwls of Arguments. Lebanon's argument was based on the grounds that proportional repre sentation had never proved success ful in any large country; that the rule; that few matters of a political nature ever come before the legis lature; that there would be lack of party responsibility; that there would be more corruption, and that politics would become too local In character. Astoria contended that all political parties should be represented; that the system of proportional representa tion Is simple and Just; that It would give members of the minority parties a chance to be heard; that the repub lican party controls Oregon's legisla ture and the democrats are not really represented, and that often elections are so close that a few votes will de cide either way. Ijfaictie Irove! a Success. Miss Birdie Wise, the leader of the Astoria team, was the best speaker, and showed great ability. The mem bers of the teams were: Astoria Miss Birdie Wise, closer; Carl Thomas, Miss Jennie Jeffers. Lebanon Miss Annie McCormlck. closer: Miss Elsie Lillard, Miss Pearl Aldrlch. State School Superintendent J. H. Ackerman presided and Introduced the speakers. Hon. S. H. Friendly, dean of the state university regents, presenter the "Regents' cup" to the winning team. The university quar tet sang, and Miss Jessie Farrlss gave a piano solo. After the debate the member of the two teams and all connected with the debate were tendered an elaborate banquet at the , Theater cafe. 1 Th success of the league 1 now as sured, and henceforth It will be a prominent factor In high school de velopment throughout the state. Ita success this year has far surpassed the expectations of Its most sanguine supporter. WRITE IN SECRET. Ths Way Chinese Court Historians Do Thsir Work. There are court historians In Chlnn, as there are lu other countries, but there Is one striking difference, and It lies In the fact that the work of the Chinese court historians does not see the light until the reigning dynasty comes to an end. In this way these Celestial historians t son have on opportunity to describe most truthfully the virtues and vices of the valorous rulers and the real signifi cance of the events which take place durlug their regime. They can write what they p!e;se without fear of con jure, for they Uuow that their work will not I published as long ns the reigning dynasty lasts. This has been the rule for more than 2,000 years, the tlrst court historian having been appointed by the impe rial house of Han. which relguedfrom 208 B. C. until 23 A. D. The duty of these historians is to write plain accounts of all the events that occur during their tenure of of fice. At regular intervals tbelr com pleted work Is taken from them and Is locked up in nu iron safe or vault. There It remains until the first mem ber of n new dynasty ascends the throne. It is then given with all the other histories in the vault to the court historian, v. ho is then living, and from the mass of tlnwinients he Is expected to prepare a truthful history of the dynasty which has just expired.

WALLA CHOP CONDITION Uixl Big Holding of Old Wheat Sold ! Lnsi Week Snlu Called for 40,000 Itusliebi at 80 Cents Acreage for the Year About Sunie nu Linn Yew ! 'Sacks Will Ho Clieanvr. The Walla Walla Statesman pub. Ilshes tne following review of the wheat market, crop outlook and gen eral conditions In that city and coun ty: Practically all of the old crop of wheat has been sold and the ware houses are' empty and ready for the crop of this year, suys the Statesman. With the sale of 40,000 bushels of wheat by W. P. Reser a few days ago the last big sale of the season was consummated and there are but a few scattering lots left In the houses through the valley. The price paid, for Mr, Reaser's wheat, 80 cents, was about the top of the market for last year's crop and there is no doubt that If this price is sustained It will rid the store hous es of the lust sack. Last year's crop, while large, was well handled and the car shortage was not nearly, so noticeable as was that of the year before. Prices flue tuated greatly and the sales were run in bunches accordingly. Nearly all the farmers held for 80 cents, but the price was so long com ing that not all secured It. Indica tions for a good price on the new crop ure good, according to wheat buyers In the city. Grain dealers are now getting ready to handle the sack trade during the weeks Just preceding the harvest While In some places tho farmers' unions have combined , and bought their sacks In large quantities, not enough have been secured In this manner to appreciably affect the lo cal market. Penitentiary sacks are to be cheap and sacks shipped In from the coast will be, also, on account of the new freight rate made by the . rail roads this year. ' Indications for a big wheat crop this year are good, In fact, they never have been much better and with the promised moisture In the near future there will bo a crop that will rival even that of last year. Farmers and dealers are making all preparations for a big yield and there Is little doubt that this will be realized. ' The acreage is practically the same as that of last year, the amount of summer fallowing being Just about tho same. Grain is not quite as far advanced as it was at this time last year, as the spring has been colder On Eureka flat ' Ilere's to tho rich American girls, Who capture the dukcst And lords nnd earls.
