IU, DEBATERS MEET NEXT WEEK DEBATE BETWEEN LA GRANDE, ELGIN AND W. C. H. S. POST PONED ONE WEEK. Word has been' received from La Grande high school asking that the date of the delate be postponed un til next week, as- it Is Impossible for them to be here on Friday, January 7,- as announced. The date has ac cordingly been changed to Friday ev ening, January 14. The students of the W. C. H. S. are eagerly preparing for this con test with their opponents from La Grande and Elgin H. S. It promises to be a heated contest, and one In which the victory wil'.il be wellJneriiled shice the teams have been, chosen by a system of try-outs and so con sist of ' some of the best talent . of the schools. The ''students of the W. C. H. S. have done all In thciT power to compile statistics and gV.her argument which they are con fident will make holes in La Grande's fire and bullet-proof parchment. (According to the new Constitution oi .the Oregon Debating ' league, in each district Is formed triangles of oh res schools each. By this plan ejich school Is required to prepare cyo ' teams one negative and one affirmative thus making' It possible for all three debates to be held the same evening. In this district the W, C. H. S. negative goes to lE'.gln, he Elg-ji negative to La Grande, and La Grande's negative to Enterprise. The affirmative teams remain- at home. This Is the first of the ln-ter-dljurlct debates, and it i a matter 4 no small moment who shall be the winner of this district. Wallowa county is pitted against two parts of Union county. Who shall be the winner The question- la "Resolved, that the Galveston Plan of City Govern-tr-nt.,t Applied .to. New York City Would Correct the Prevalent ' Pollti sal Vices of that City." The gov ernment of the great American city is becoming more and more a com plicated and vexing problem to Our eaders of government, and it la a problem "upon which our statesmen and greatest th'nkers of today are concentrating their thoughts' and energies; It da a broad question,, and Lnce It Is one that confronts the rising generation, lt discussion and leba'.e are worthy of our united loy alty and support. It in true that a man generally believes the side wlltfi which he lis moat familiar. It ie hen a matter for congratulation to our students that since they are equally conversant with both aides )f the question, each team Is equal ly firm and confident that it- is on ihe right side of the question. The most of the people of the town Temember the enthusiasm with which the city celebrated the vic tory of our hiUh school over the Pen iletoa debaters year before last, Again this year the students lift high jhe banner of W. C. H. S. and cry, 'Victory or Death'" Then everybody, iltogether. one two three "Three cheers for the success of the W. C. H. S." PARADISE. Paradise. Dec. 31 Several Inches of snow last night.
