In their way before they can reach that 11. Whichever way the debate goes it la certain that the audience will hear a clash of wit and argument well worth listening to. The debate is scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock. One of the mooted questions of the country is to be threshed out tonight in the Methodist church when the debating teams of the Pendleton and Hood River high schools mee to ar gue on the methods ofconservingour natural resources. The local team will uphold states rights, while the visitors will contend for national con trol. The question reads, "Resolved, That national conservation of natural re sources is preferable to state conser vation." This Is a new question for both teams and It will be a fair field with no favors. The Judges for the debate will be Prof. Dun more of Whitman college, Mr. Moffltt of Wal la 'Walla and Edgar W. Smith of Van sycle. . The result of the debate tonight will decide whether the Pendleton team or the Hood River team will meet the Grants Pass team in the final contest for the championship of the state. An article in connection with the pictures of the Grants Pass team in Sunday's Oregonian was calculated j to give the impression that the cham pionship had already been won by the southern Oregon trio but members of the local team are of the opinion that they have one more serious obstacle Mary's a Grand Old Xante. Anyone who doubts that the name Mary is not given to as many girl babies in the present generation as in the days of our ancestors only have to look at the title of a suit recently filed In the local circuit court to be convinced of their error. There are fourteen women named as defendants, thirteen of whom were christened Mary, the fourteenth being yclept Louise. The case Is the one Institut ed by F. W. and J. G. Payne against the Milton, Freewater and Hudson Bay Irrigation company et al and the wives respectively of W. C. Gallager, M. O. Beauchamp, J. B. Krumbach, F. B. Smith, J. W. Jones. G. M Lock wood, F. C. Morley, Fred Greisler, R. E. Record, Herman Markman, W. F. Gentry, R. H. Wellman and F. J. Hel hoff are called Mary, wKIla Obi m- ception is the helpmeet of J. E. Boy-er. Two More 15ij Autos. Prank Ourl, the well known far mer. !?us just received his new six cylinder, model D, battleship gray, torpedo bmly Franklin automobile and it Is certainly a thing of beauty. Antone Vey, the big sheepman, has just purchased a six cylinder touring car of the same make and It will be here shortly. To Arrange for Teachers' Moot. County Superintendent Frank K. Welles is In receipt of a letter from Superintendent Churchill of Baker, who Is chairman of the executive committee of the eastern division of the State Teachers' association, an nouncing that the committee of which Mr. Welles is a member, will hold a meeting in the near. future to arrange for the next convention which will be held during Thanksgiving week. Epworth Ieogne Elects Officers. At the business meeting of the Ep worth League held In the Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday evening the following officers were elected: Pres ident, Wm. E. Waters; first vice president, Jewell Roorke; second vice president. Ida Hlnderman; third vice president, Mrs. Letta Hunter; fourth vice president, Fannie Wylle; secre tary, Flossie Kimbrell; treasurer, Ed na Earle. Nine new members were added to the roll. wa.' blown out also, which will afford grounds for a contested decision for disappointed guessers. Revival Meetings. The Free Methodists continue their meeting In tho South Methodist church, .corner of W. Webb and Aura streets every night ot 8 p. in. Con ference Evangelist M. L. Schooley preaches and Pastor Guy Dennoy of Athena leads the singing and devo tional exercises. Do not confound the Free Methodists with either the South or M. E. churches. We have a distinct mission, and were we the same as either of the others, there would be no excuse for our existence. In the beginning, in I860 our people were thrust out of the M. E. church because we Insisted on standing by the landmarks of Methodism, from which the other church was drifting. As there was no other organization which held as we did the organisation of this church became, and still con tinues, to be a necessity. We do not antagonize other churches, but hold to original Methodism. Tho discip line of this church Is based on the M. K. Discipline of 1S56. Our busi ness is to "Spread scriptural holiness over the lands." We hold that the re rellglon of Jesus Christ demands "separation from the world," and vital experimental Godliness In heart and life. We do not resort to worldly and fleshly schemes for raising money, nor go into the amusement business to "hold our congregation." If you believe in old fashioned religion, come to this meeting. COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD NAMED. Work on New Bridge.

Besides hearing the trials ol Walter Llndsey and Dan Downey for disorderly conduct and of George M. Howard for selling liquor with out a license, he was confronted with four men who had been arrested while drunk. These men, Charles Wilson. Frank Daily, John Wallatzie, and Wild Bill, the latter two Indians, all pleaded guilty and were given three days in jail with the exception of Wallatzie who drew four. Has Taken Reo Agency. The Pendleton Auto Co. yesterday received a shipment of five new Reo autos of the latest models, having Just accepted the agency for this make of car. They are a cheaper car than the Franklin, ranging in price from $1175 to $1550. Mr. McCormmach's big garage, which at the time it was built, was considered by many to be far too large for this city, is now so crowded that it Is with difficulty that room could be made for the new ma chines. An addition will probably be constructed in the rear before long and the shops moved into it. Suffragette Hen Makes Call. 'Urauiy," the crowing hen of M. E. Keys, made a call at this office this morning following her first ap pearance In print yesterday evening. She resented the imputation in the story yesterday that she was Inferi or to a rooster In that she did not have a big comb or a pair of spurs and exhibited splendid examples of these chantecleeran characteristics. The spurs were fully an Inch and three quarters in length and one was broken down as a result of the fights In which the unsexed hen has par ticipated. Mr. Keys swears that she U not a rooster for, during the nine years of her life, he claims she has laid many dozens of eggs for his fam ily. Mr. Keys Intends to put her and her two daughters on exhibition at the next foultry show. fr.--f..r -r. rrr rnmii.Trr m 30C Phone Main 28. "Quality Grocers." Next to Post Office Fighters Are Given Trial. Waiter I.indsey and Dan Downey who were arrested the other day for fighting, were tried this morning in police court on a charge of disorderly conduct. Llndsey was fined ten dol lars while sentence was suspended on Downey as the evidence plainly showed that the former was the ag gressor. It seems thnt Llndsey Is put ting up a feed stable on West Webb street much to the annoyance of residents nnd that Downey has been circulating a petition of remonstrance. According to the testimony, Llndsey called Downey across the street and assaulted him with a scantling where upon Downey used his fists much to the damage of Llndsey's countenance. Llndsey testified he was drunk at the time. Candle Almost Causes Fire. Gray Eros. Grocery had a narrow escape from fire last night as a result ff the guessing contest on the burn Ing candle which 1 being conducted by that house. About 10:30 Cllve Cheshire stopped at the window wherein the tallow was slowly melt Ing away and while deeply engaged In mental calculations whereby he hoped to win a can of baking powder, a small bug flew Into the flame and fell burning upon the paper covered stand which' supported the candle. Major Moorhouse, who happened along at this Juncture, went In search of Harry Gray, while Mr. Cheshire kept his eye on the little fire which was prevented from Igniting tho pa, per by tho molted grease. The pro prletor w'as nowhere to bo found V.ut Night Officer Sheer was summoned. By thta time the paper had Ignited nnd was blazing up quite freely. Un fible to gain entrance through the door, the men boosted young Georse H.'icklthorn over the transon, tho t'r.or was unlocked and the fire was (Continued from page one.) slon provided for by the new law. This wcAild mean that a taxpayer would pay ten cents additional for every thousand dollar worth of tax able property. "Most of the country districts con tain much more taxable property In proportion to their expenses, than do the city districts, hence the special school taxes in the cities average four or five times as high as the levies made by the country districts. None of the larger towns levy less than five mills special tax every year. If all of the school districts outside of Pendle ton levied as much for supervision, In proportion to their wealth, as Pen dleton does, they would have about $2500 a year for supervision; a very much greater sum would be needed for this purpose. Hopea for Much Good. "If the school directors will work with the supervisors, the latter should be able to accomplish much good. Every schoolhouse will be cleaned and put in good condition for the opening of school. The many little things that are always needed in the school will be provided for the opening day. A suitable teacher will be employed ear ly and there will be no delay In be ginning the school. Man of the lit- tie duties for which the directors and district clerk are now responsible, can be performed by tho supervisor, thus relieving the district officers of con siderable re.iponsibiWty and annoy ance."
