GRANTS PASS WINS
IN SCHOOL DEBATE
POULTRYMEN WILL MEET
NEXT WEDNESDAY .
Prepare to dig deep In your pock
ets or the family purse lying on the
dresser for much coin with which to
pay the vegetable man, for people of
Grants Pass and Rogue River valley
will be compelled to bear the bur
den of losses by frost to California
vegetable growers since Rogue val
ley people continue to refuse to grow
their own vegetables, one region in
the world where they will grow to
perfection.
H. M. Axtell, of the Wholesale
Market exchange, has Just returned
from a trip over a wide area of Cal-
fornla, and to a representative of The
Courier he states that killing frosts
recently reported In that state have
not only cut the fruit crop, but have
played havoc with vegetable crops
The season has also been put back
month and when the Grants Pass
housekeeper goes to market this
spring it will require more money
than usual. It will be a case of big
money and little bundle. It Is a
long way from Grants Pass to mid
dle California, and besides the scar
city of vegetables there now and to
be. freight charges add anotner
mortgage that must be raised by the
housekeepers here before the beans,
the peas, the corn, the tomatoes, the
lettuce, the cucumbers and other
much-wanted dainties can be set upon
the table.
Wby the people of this valley con
tinue to neglect the growing of veg
etables is beyond me," said Mr. Ax
tell today. "Of all the places in
Oregon the Rogue valley is the
premier vegtable region. . There is
no excuse under the sun why we
all must buy and eat California veg
etables when they can be grown here
In abundance. The Southern Pacific
railroad and express companies and
the California growers get much
money from here when we, the peo
ple of this vicinity, should be ship
pers Instead of buyers.
"The new potato crop has been
put back a month and there are few
of the other kind. The coast has
been drawing potatoes out of Mlnne-
sota, Wisconsin, Idaho and elsewhere
until It looks that soon potatoes will
be quoted by the dozen, Instead of
by the hundred pounds.
"It Is high time the people of this
vicinity should raise their own vege
tables, and the prices they will be
compelled to pay this season will
convince them of thatfact."
Poultry fanciers and poultry j
breeders generally of Grants Pass
and Josephine county will meet !
again Wednesday night of next week ;
to further plans for organizing the j
Southern Oregon Poultry association, j
Meetings were held Thursday and
Saturday of last week and the meet- j
Ing. next Wednesday night will be i
addressed as beofre by D. M. Lowe, j
of Ashland, one of the moving spirits
In the proposed organization. Com-j
tog from Ashland with Mr. Lowe,
will be a number of Ashland men
and probably some of the women,
chicken fanciers.
Deputy County Clerk E. S. Veatch
also states to The Courier that he
expects a generous turnout at the
coming meeting, and that explana
tions by Mr. Lowe and others will be
so convincing as to the value of an
association that he expects the or
ganization to soon be a fact and do
ing valuable work in breeding more
and better chickens In Southern Ore
gon. Everybody interested in
chickens Is Invited to participate in
the meeting.
PROSECUTE ON CHARGE
OF SELLING LIQUOR
With a vote of two to one by the
judges Grants Pass High School de
bating team last night won the con
tett with the team from the Lebanon
high school, and In the victory gave
great pleasure to the student body,
faculty and the people of the city.
Subject for the debate was: "Re
solved, that national conservation of
natural resources Is preferable to
state conservation," and the home
team took the negative. The win
ners for Grants Pass were Helen
Allan TTorrlplr find V.rp Rest.!'
Personnel 'of the Lebanon team waffoiiit f testimony Is already at
Gebhardt Huber and George
Sauer are to be prosecuted on
charges of selling Intoxicating liquor
In the city of Grants Pass.
Complaints against the two men
were filed In the county court yester
day and District Attorney B. F. Mul
key has the cases In hand. One of
the complaints charges Bale of liquor
to a minor, which is a violation of
the state statutes, regardless of
whether prohibition Is or Is not In
effect In the city, a matter yet to be
determined by the courts. It Is un
derstood that other complaints will
e made within a few days, as a vast
Katherlne Kirkpatrick, Minnie Wert
zel and Ora Keebler. The Judges
were Trofessor Kilpatrlck, superin
tendent of schools In Oakland, Ore.,
and Percy Collier and Carlton Spen
cer, both students of the state univer
sity at Eugene.
Points on which the Grants Pass
students won prolably were effective
refutation and substantiation of their
argument. Miss Love gnve a logical
discussion and clear outline of the
subject. Allan Herrlck was strong
tp rebuttal, and Ms work In putting
the burden of proof on his opponents
was most clever. Erie Best, In his
forceful delivery and substantiation
of bis nolnts. was effective and
strong.
Lebanon was weak In substan
tiating Its own argument. Probably
the most effective work for the visit
ors was done by Miss Kirkpatrick.
The vlrtory last night was of es
pecial Interest from the fact that
Lebanon three years ago won from
Grants Fass. At that time, as last
night, Ibanon was represented by
three girls.
Grants Pass will next debate with
Bandon, and the contest will prob
ably be held here May 12. At that
time the home team may take the
other side of the question. Should
Grants Pass win, the team will then
enter the final debate for the state
championship, which Is to take plars
at Eugene. If the home team loses
Tutirfnn tbrn Bandon will con
test with either Baker City or Hood
River.
The contest has now narrowed
down and Grants Pass Is to the front
ns a strong competitor for the state
champlons-ilp.
