The subject for debate in: "Re Holved, that a system of postal Rav ings banks should be established by the federal government." Now just what does this contest mean to you as a citizen? Have you thought of It? If you have, no doubt you have realized that their winning Is worth while and means something for the welfare of Grants Pass. Slr.ee Grants Pass Is beeornlng bet ter every day the schools should keep pare. In order to do this they need your assistance and co-operation. If the members of the debat ing team and their coach are willing to work and give their time, surely we should be willing and glad to stand by them and lend a hand. Since the debate comes off In Klamath Falls, the team and coach will not be able to hear our cheers and rahs, but we enn assure them bpfore Rtartlng of thu fact that we will be thinking of them over there and the victory they are winning This will help them greatly. Yes victory, for we will win. Last year we won the first place In the Btate, and the team this year, consisting of Errol Gilkey, Roubalx Rlchey and Ierne Ahem, Is Just as competent. Errol Gilkey has served on the de bating team for three years now and his ability speaks for Itself. He throws himself right Into his work, has a winning way and Is perfectly at home with his audience. His de livery, argument and extemporane ous work are certainly splendid, j Roubalx Rlchey is gifted along i literary lines nnd debates in a very creditable manner. Although he has had little experience in the work, his reasoning Is very logical. The speech he expects to give In Klamath Is full of strong nnd convincing nrgnment, which by nil means ought to give us the decision. ! Ierne Ahern comes to us tills year from Wall Lake high school In Iowa. In the few months she has been with us her charming ways and winning , personality hnve won hosts of friends Who will wish her well Just becnuse they like her. She has proved to be one of the best all round students In the Junior class. In debate she has a thorough grasp of her subject and reasons In n logical way. The debntlng team has been work ing hard and much of the victory for wn will win la ilnn r diu v. rollout coach, Miss Marker, who has screwfd their courage up to the sticking point nnd given them the Spartan motto, "Ho or die." MIhb Hurker came to us last year from Simpson college in Iowa, an Institu tion that numbers amongst Its alum ni such men as President Homan, of Willamette university, nnd ex Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw. She has college Idens and that way of doing things which Itself as-! sures success.

Roost for the new high school building, and everything In connection with high school. Tell everybody about our team, our coach -the best In the world, we think. Remember last year's success and last year's team, The high school lost two-thirds of the best team in Its history when Josephine Randle Hnd Henry Norton graduated Inst spring. Hut don't worship the past to the extent of for getting that their places are filled nnd well filled, we believe, bv Mis Ahern and Mr. Rlchey the two new members of the team. ! Boost everything, nlwns. If overv ! cltlen does this victory will come to us to stav.

The evening week day newspaper Is becoming more and more the one of satisfaction and value, not only to the rest of the family, but to the man of business himself perhaps, Indeed, especially to him. In the morning he has little time to read, He can scarcely do more than glance at the headlines during his breakfast, for there are the other members of the family to visit with a little, and he has no time to loiter over the meal: an soon as it Is con'-luded he Is off to business. This ocoiples him mrrmletf.lv through the diiv. and it Is only after he has gone home, has had his dinner, has become comfort- ine their sides with laughter, ably seated In his favorite chair and A peculiar freak or the high waf"1 donned slippers and shed his coat, was the depositing of a bridge and as he smokes bis post-prandlal were a man had decided he nut-t cigar, if he smokes, that his is ready build one.

The high prices are driving people from the cities Into the country to make their living on the farms.

Neuralgia of the Pocketlmok. (Copyright, 1910, by Lewis D. Samp son, Editor Town Development.) Neuralgia of the Pocketbook dif fers from all other known diseases. It attacks the patient in the region of the ventnrl, or the dorsal, jeans. The pain is almost unbearable, and often superinduces excitement of the heart If there is a heart. In Its malignant form the disease not only affects the sufferer, but" also gives his neighbors a pain. Doctors confess they have no speci fic for Neuralgia of the Pocketbook. It baffles tha medical profession. A peculiarity of the dread disease Is that It Is prevalent mainly among the well-to-do. The patients never fully recover and they never die young. Either event would be a welcome relief to the community! Town Development has observed that the malady 13 greatly aggravated in a progressive town. The atmosphere of public! enter prise does not aj,ree with the pa tients. It Is apt to penetrate thdr sensi tive pocketbooks. A chamber of commerce Is an eye sore to them. Development plans make them timid and retiring. They frequently retire to back streets nnd private offices while the subscription paoer Is being passed around so that it will pass. It has been proposed to colonize all such unfortunates. Rut no place In the civilized world wants them. The ideal retreat would be a quiet, peaceful, thoroughly dead town, in a hat climate, where the houses have no doors, and lawn mowers, baby carriages, wheelbarrows, apple carts and Ideas have never been Intro duced, and where, therefore, It is un necessary ever to push ANYTHING. Here is a chance for 'a dead town to be made famous as the home of the tightwad! Lots of towns have lots of tight wads, but no town has them all. OREGON'S GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN Jim'phi;-.e County Conies Second in the Production of Gokl In Oregon. Oregon hn3 -lately been producing from $900,000 to $1,000,000 annual ly in gold; from 40.000 to 80.000 fine ounces of silver; from 250,000 to 500,000 pounds of copper; and a small quantity of lead, In 1908 there was a material falling off In the quantity of ore mined and work ed. An Improvement in silver out put Is expected from the returns of 1909, but the gold production has apparently decreased. Raker county continues to be the greatest gold producer of the state, the principal source being quartz mines. Over half of the gold output of late has been derived from Baker county alone. Josephine county, the second largest producer, relies mainly on Its placers for its rank In gold produc- Kodol For Will Relieve You Kodol unrpHes the name dlfrertlTe Juices that are found In a Iiealtliy stomach, liclng a liquid, it etarta digestion at once.

The iv.tr.ber of placer mines In the state is Increasing, but the number of quart', mines remains about the same. There are less than 250 pro ductive mines of all classes in Ore gon. The main decrease in gold out- net has recently been In deep min ing operations, though It Is also shown in hydraulic, mining. The lessened yield has not been due to cessation of work on any Important mines, but to a general reduction in the yield of many large and small mines. The average output of metal per ton of the ore mined has in creased in recent years, though the quantity milled has been much less. Some of the operators ran their re duction plants for only a portion of 1908, b.it were developing and pre paring for steady runs In 1909. The counties of northeastern Ore gon, Including Baker, are more pro ductive than th" group Included In southwestern Oregon. The largest producer of silver Is Grant county, but the yield of Baker county Is only slightly less. The low price of cop per hps caused a material reduction In output of this metal In Josephine county, whh is usully the largest nrod'ieer. Thr are now 15 coun ties in Oregon which are making an annual mineral output. The estimates of the mint Indicate r cold output in Oregon In 1909 of 712,90O, against $905,900 In 1908, and a silver production of 71,100 fine ounces in 1909, against 56.100 fine ounces in 190S. Civil Service lVnsions. A dispatch from the national capi tal says that each year we get near er to the establishment of a "civil pension list," or at first it may be called a "civil service retirement." There are hundreds of clerks In the departments who, by reason of old age, or being otherwise Incapacitated, are a charge upon the government, and whose salaries are practically pensions. So evident has this become that It does not need any argument to convince congress that something ought to be done to relieve the situ ation. But congress hesitates to es tablish a civil pensions list. There Is something in the name that is fear some, just as "ship subsidy" scares a lot of congressmen.
