County Judge Marsh Is de clared to be opposed to going back to the old policy but what position Commissioner Cockburn will take Is not .yet known. If the county engi neer Fhotild be done away with it would full upon Mr. Cockburn to su ! perintond the construction of the ma ! enr'nm road between Weston and Mil ton." It is a task of some b1s and ' requiring engineering ability. Whether Mr. Cockburn wishes to ossume such a responsibility remains a question. One of the reasons urged for going back to the old system of road super vlxion is that the change would get rid of County Engineer Martin, an of ficial who has made some enemies, possibly some blunders and whose scalp some people would like to see taken. In answer to this those who defend the county engineer system say It is not necessary to abolish the system in order to abolish Mr. Martin. They point out that if he Is unsatisfactory for any reason he should be .removed and another man named. They con tend the system Is more important than the question of who shall be en gineer. It is contended that a countv that does as much road and bridge work as does Umatilla County can af ford to have at least one competent man to say what should be done and how. During the past few years the county engineer has been drawing all bridge plans for the county. If the position should be done away with the county would have to employ special talent for bridge work at con siderable expense or rely 'upon some such system as A. E. Eberhart oper ated under in the days of the old court. . I PSlSSBMSasSaM3lbnMaHBl II. Mill, JW I. I J II I I 111 I I I I p. '.- f r-..-'V2M ?

Frederick Palmer, who will accom pnny the allied armies when they be g'n their drive against the Germans made the above remark. He had Just talked things over with several chiefs of the general staff and knew what their plans are. His opinion later was echoed In another way by General Foch. srho said: "Great event are coming. Then will come peace, but we will put sen. tlment aside and make peace on our own terms. "Both sides hare been holding con ferences during the winter months, preparing, preparing, preparing.

Umatilla courrt7 will participate In the celebration of the opening of the Celllo canal May 5 and If tentative plans discussed at the Commercial Club Saturday evening are carried out the matter will be handled on a big scale befitting the occasion. One pln broached ml which met with nmch favor la for Umatilla county people" to Join in chartering a big river steamer to transport them from Umatilla to Cetil on th forenoon ot Yay 5. It Is believed a steamer can be secured on su -h terms as to pro vide very reasonable fare for the trip snd the plan would afford local peo ple the novelty of a boat ride on the upper Columbia, ometh!ng very few people have ever experienced. Wallace R. fccruble, representing the Portland Chamber of Commerce ws. here Saturday evening and laid the general subject of the canal eel etratloa before members of the Com mercial Club at a special meeting. As explained by Mr. Struble, the pur pose Is to hold a continuous celebra tion along the .i'cr, starting at Lew ision May 3 anj reaching the climax si Celilo May 5. The Lewiston peo ple are planning r.n appropriate pro gram and when the same is conclud ed they will enio.r' on a river trip. ' T!ere will be a n'tmber of big steam- ers In iim and m-iav smaller craft. It is the belief of the Lewiston people they will have no irs than 15 boats of riotous sorts In their flotilla. ' Coming down the Snake to the Co. lun.bia the party will stop at Pasco and Kennewlck 'or a celeratloa May 4. Below Pasco the next stop Will be at Wallula and there Walla Walla will participate in a manner that has thus far not been determined upon. From Wairala the voyage will oe made to Umatilla, reaching there on the evening of May 4. The celebration for Pendleton and Umatilla county will be held at UmaUIla. Definite plans for the local part in the program have not yet been made but the sentiment expressed Saturday evening was that the affair should be organized upon t bifi scale. Including all the towns of the county -and with a particular invitation for the farm ers to part ic I pato in the celebration, as they will be the chief beneficiaries from the canal. The boats wiil remain at Umatilla overnight and take up the trip down stream to Celllo early on the morning of May 5. The Pendleton contingent may make the trip to Umatilla on the local or a special train In the ev er Ing Those not leeirtng to go on to Celilo could return home the same evening or the nrt morning. If a special rtea.ner Is secured to carry the Umatilla delegation to Ce lilo It will be ,Kns:ule for loeal po ii to take train No. 5 out of Pendic le n the morning of May 5 and reach Uriatilta in ample time to connect PARIS, Feb IS.

Mr. Hampton scand this morning that the debate was undoubtedly the btst which has occurred before the student body for a number of years, and both sides oZ the question was well represented. The negative argu ment dealt mostly w'th statistics and recognised fact, while the affirmative advanced a great c"eal of logical and philosophical thought, falling howev er to back it up concrete fact, which resulted in f.ielr defeat. After the debate the Judges with drew and decided on the four beet n-tn who are to be represented in the final contest for the first team which will be held a wek from next Friday.
