HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING
CAMPAIGN ENDS
A.toria Defeated in Final Contest for
State Championship at Eugene
Question of Proportional Represen
tation Discussed Series of State
Debaters Closed After a Mo Suc
cessful Season
Pendleton high school students will
be Interested in the following account
of the high school league debate In
which the Lebanon team defeated
Astoria and. thus became the cham
pion high school debaters of the
state. 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.

Twenty-four hours or more before rain

REVIEW OF WALLA .
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
