The railroad blockade was relieved j
Jan. 19. The engine and mail
car of the outgoing train of Tuesday '
broke through the drifts two miles
this side of Elgin WednesUay morn-'
ing, the other cars being derailed.
The track however was cleared about '
2 p. rn., the coaches righted on the
track and traffic resumed. A train
from La Grande reached Enterprise '
at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday evening, j
Both! trains are again making regular j
trips. ,
The Observer of Jan. 19 gave

On the main line the trains are
moving each way and Dispatcher j

Rotary Brtfiks Down.
Last night, or rather early tliis
morning, the rotary came to a sud
den halt in its work of clearing the
main line near Telocasset a task
vainly kept up for many hours. '
A break necessitating considerable
time in repairs resulted. To hold j
the advantage already won in the
war with the wind and snow and to
get the trains through, two light en-!
gines tackled the drifts of eight feet l
in depth with vigor, and one pas
senger train waa able to pass the
drift about 3 o'clock this morning.

Ms
La Grande negative won from the
Wallowa County high school affirma
tive iu the debate Friday night by a
unanimous vote of the three Jilges.
At the same time the Wallowa
County negative team composed of
Irl and Aaron Olmsted and Miss
Julia Marvin met Elgin affirmative
iu the latter city, and were success
ful by a vote of 3 to 1.
Ia Grande won from Elgin at La
Grande and is thus the winner hi
this triangle.
The question was "Resolved that
tLe Galveston plan of government
applied to New York City would cor
rect the prevelant political vices, of
that city.''
Assembly hall of Wallowa County
high school, mMe gay with pennants
and streamers In which were inter
mingled the blue and white of La
Grande and the garnet and grey t
Wallowa, was filled' with a responsive
and enthusiastic audience.
Miss Amy Olmsted presiding grace
fully and gave an opening address
explaining the working of the debat
ing league. The program waa punc
tuatal throughout by the school yells.
Miss Nellie Stubblefleld was the first
speaker on the affirmative. In a
clear, distinct voice and unaffected
manner Miss Stubblefield presented
the advantages of the Galveston plan,
and told of the boodlimg and corrupt
ion of Ne.w York politicians. The
solution of the problem of their eradi
cation must lie In undivided responslr
bility. "The people are not grafters,"
said the speaker,
Joe Ingles, the leader for the affir
mative, had such a frank, pleasing mar
ner that the Judge couWnt be blamed
for1 agreeing to every proposition he
made. He said that the Galveston
plan was uu-Anieilcan; to plate tne
government of a city like New York
Ui the hands of five men would be
a step In the direction of dictatorial
government; no rererendum, no re
call, no veto power for the mayor.
He suowel that reform must come not
In change of form but In change of
men. A great disaster always brings
forth the best men to meet the crisis.
It was so In Galveston, and to this
may be attributed the success of her
government.
Asa Craig for the affirmative told
of the growth of New York, and her
present system. He was clear and
direct In his argument, showing how
the commiiision would be responsible
for the expenditures and Improve
ments. Will Hamilton, La Grande's second
speaker, said the Galveston plan was
tried 15 years In Sacramento and 12
years In New Orleans and was a
liiwmal failure in both cities. No
better plan had ever been tried than
the present system In New York.
To be rightly governed the people
must know what they need they are
not getting, and what the officials
are doing. His speech showed good
thought and carried .weight.
Fred Holmes made the closing argu
ment for the home team. He said
Sacramento discontinued the Galves
ton plan by legislative action of the
state and not by vote of the people.
Mr. Holmes has a very easy delivery
and is especially good at rebuttal.
He put up a fine argument Inter
spersed with considerable humor.
Arlo Myers, third speaker for La
Grande, said the per cent of crime
is greater proportionately in Galves
to.i than in New York. He ridiculed
the Idea of attempting to govern New
York with her 4,500,000 people In the
same manner as Galveston's 30,000.
Mr. My res has a well modulated voice
and utfls It effectively.
The judges were O. C. Maxwell
principal of the Imbler school, Orlle
Hampton of Pendleton high school,
and A. G. Smith of the Lostine school.
A large number of high school
pupils from Lostine, Wallowa and
Joseph were present. Prof. Stout,
principal of the high school, accom
panied the La Grande team.
CHINOOKINQ ON IMNAHA.
There Is every appearance that the
usually long cokl spell in this county
will be broken up by a chlnook soon.
The weather turned waimer Thurs
day night.
It is already chbiooklng on the
Ironaha. Leonard Johnson phoned
oikt to that effect Thursday evening
and said the temperature was 42.
It rained quite hard on Alder Slope
Friday night.
Scotch R.part...

pened to diue wltb some learned law
yers of the Edinburgh bar. He appro
priated to himself a large dish of
cress, upon which he fed voraciously.

his discourtesy to the other diners, re
marked: "Doctor, you remind me of Nebuchad
nezzar in bis degradation."
