FRIDAY'S CONTEST.
Most Extensive later-State Oratorical

. The largest and most extensive inter
state oratorical contest ever held upon
the coast will take place in Oorvailis, on
Friday evening, May 22nd, at the Col

North about thev negro being so
much , abused is wrong. I have
never seen, one mistreated since
L was in the South, but I have
seen it in Washington. . : "
KThe South should be let alone
and they will solve the problem
all right. The mayor of George
town told me that he thought
the best solution of the negro
proble would be to kill off all the
buck' negroes and the race
would soon bpcome white, and I
guess there is more truth than
poetry in the proposition. " -
"This is a quaint old city and
very interesting. I here is a
great deal of history connected
with this old place. I was down
to the battery this morning and
saw the historic old Forts Sump-
ter and Moultrie.
"To-morrow lam going to the
Isle of Palms, which is said to
be one of the most - beautiful
places in the South. It is an
island in the Atlantic not far
from mainland near Charleston
and is covered with a dense
growth of palmettos and the hand
of man has assisted nature in
making it a perfect paradise."
ORANGE DEFEATS PACIFIC.
The Uaiveraitv Lads Lose to the Farmers
by a Score of 46 to SO.
Although the farmers defeated
the Pacific University lads by a
score of 80 to 46 in the field meet
on Agricultural , field last Friday
afternoon, no one who witnessed
the contest will say the victory
was easily won. A difference of
a few - inches in a number of the
events would have given the
points to the visitors. In the
100-yard dash, Williams, Peter
son and Moores, could have been
covered with an umbrella at
the finish, and Williams and Pe
terson were almost abreast when
they reached the tape in the 220
sprint. " -
Considering the weather and
the condition of the track, some
of the performances were remark
able. Although a cold drizzling
rain was falling, the 100 yards was
run in 16 3-5 seconds; the 220, in
23 15 sec, tieing the Pacific
Northwest record; the 440 in
53 3-5 sees; and the hurdles in
excellent time. Swan vaulted
10 feet, but sprained his wrist
and had to withdraw, los ing to Gil -bert,
who cleared the bar at 10
feet, 1 inch; Tackson put the
shst 39 feet, 4 inches with ease
and is undoubtedly the best mau
me same, wnne otners win. rate cross
country drives, some in hay racks, any
way to get there.
The extraordinary interest shown by
Oregon people grows out of the fact that
the two .orators who won first place in
the recent state contest at Dallas will be
in the contest to' compete with' the win
ners of Washington and California, - and
it will be bo ordinary material which
they will run up against, as Berkeley
University and University of Washing
ton and Whitmore College, are among
the schools of the other states which will
be in the fight. All of these institutions
will Bend orators who have come out vic
tors in their respective states. : ' .
. The orations have all been written up
on some phase of the prohibition ques
tion. Sixty-five students this year upon
the coast wrote orations upon this sub
ject, and, the six orators who are to speak
Friday evening. May 22nd, in this city,
have after a series of contests proven
themselves the best among the sixty-fire.
In connection with the contest w 11 be
held the Annual Interstate College Pro
hibition Convention, and at this conven
tion will speak fifteen of the leading pro
hibition speakers of Oregon,' Washing
ton and California . Among them will
be A. C. Milligan, of the University of
Washington, a member of the debating
team which defeated the University of
Idaho, Rev. G. F. Phelps, of Hillsboro,
I. H. Amos, of Portland, Prof. R. W.
Kelsay, of Pacific College, Chester P.
Gates, of Dallas,' Prof. W. T Shaw, of
O. A C.,V Rbert Kirk wood, of Forest
Grove, " W. P. Dyke, of McMinnville,
Pres. B. B- Emerick , of Philomath Col
lege, and Virgil G. Hinshaw, national
traveling secretary of the intercollegiate
work, This lasts from 2 :30 to 5 :30 Fri
day afternoon and from 8 :30 to 10 :30
Saturday. Citizens as well as students
are invited and will be expected to at
tend this convention, and many will no
doubt take; advantage of the reduced
rates granted by the Southern " Pacific
and will be present at both contest and
convention. " " v1
A similar contest will be held in Ohio
among the Eastern erates ana in xowa
among the Middle states, conducted by
the same association, there being six
hundred college students this year who
will proBounce orations upon the prohi
bition question. ;
As it is seldom that an effort embrac
ing so many coueges comes within our
reach, people are expected to journey
from distances hitherto unknown- in
tiroes of intercolleg'ate meets. '

As a great many people will no doubt
visit Portland on the occasion of the Pres
ident's visit to that city May 21st, it is
anticipated .that the railroad company
will be unable to provide facilities to
handle the crowds on one day. Excur
sion tickets will therefore be on sale from
all stations . into Portland oa May 19th,
20th and 21st, and it is sngees'ed that
the people do not wait until the lsst day.

Wait and see," is their
only remark, when approached
on the subject and very little in
formation is to be obtained.
A meeting is to be held in
Eugene today to further the in
terest of the company. '
The supposition here is that a
proposition is on foot to build a
line from Eugene to Corvallis
and possibly on to Portland with
probably a branch on west from
Eugene to Siuslaw Bay, tapping
in its seaward course, a belt of
the finest timber in Oregon.
It is said that the best efforts oH
a number of Lane and Benton
county's shrewdest capitalists,
together with a few trom Port
land, have been put forth during
the past few years to make the
plans a go, but just how near
maturity these plans are, is only
known to a favored few.
