SCHOOLS MEET
DEBATE TONIGHT
PEXDLETOX WILL OPPOSE
HOOD RIVER TEAM
Result of the Debate Win Decide Who
Will Meet Grants Pass In the Final
Championship of the State.
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

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.
The first actual step towards con
structing the new Main street bridge

the Coast Kriage company, which has
the contract for constructing the
bridge, began hauling sand for the

ing sand and dumping It near the

The abutments and the pier will be

The steel for the new bridge is not
expected until July 1 and the bridge
Is to be complete and ready for trav
el August 15.

Long Session for Police Court.
Judge Fitz Gerald had an unusu
ally long session this morning as he
remained in his chair from 9 o'clock
until 12. 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.

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.

would pay ten cents additional for
every thousand dollar worth of tax

"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
