The negative debating team left here Friday morning in a sleigh for The'Dalles, where they were scheduled to debate that ev ening. A lter riding eighteen miles they were compelled to walk a mile on account of a ma- licious horse, to the nearest house fpr aid W hile there a telephone message was received stating that Wasco bad postponed the debate, without consultation with M oro.. The team was within three miles of the train, and had to return home very much discouraged, Thursday evening the freshman and sophomore classes had "the tim e of-the season.” They held a big coasting party on the town track. The party was called at seven o ’clock and after a little dif ficulty over securing the bobsled, which was being used by the children of the grammar grades, starting coasting immediately.

Fairness and fidelity to duty has always been uppermost with Judge M oore and when a man who has so proven to be occupies such an im portant position as Judge of the Supreme Court of Oregon he should be retained in office. Edited by Rosa Am ick. L. V. W alton returned recently from a trip to Indiana. H . E. M otrow is recovering from a severe siege of lagrippe. The thermometer registered twelve below zero one day last week. Earl Boardman received an eighth grade diploma as a result of the recent state examination. The following pupils did not miss any words in spelling con test lust Friday afternoon: Lottie Young, Viola Young, Margaret Gates, and Johnnie Haynes. The question tor the eighth grade debate last Friday was: "Resolved, That the art of man is more attractive to the human eye than nature." Affirmative speakers. Viola Bennett, Melvin Schadewitz and Jennie Hogue. Negative, Rosa Am ick, Lola Young an^l Wren Hogue. The decision was in favor of the af firmative. As soon as weather conditions permit Wasco county w ill begin work on a new "scenic" road from The Dalles to the Meadows, a distance o f 28 miles. This route w ill connect with the proposed road on the east and south base of M t. H ood, which Congress man N . J. Sinnott is now en deavoring to have constructed by the foresrty department from Hood River valley, completing the loop around the mountain to Portland by way of the Columbia highway. The new road w ill leave The Dalles by way- ot H ood street and w ill be built on a five per cent grade. The chap who minds his own business, doesn’t interfere with the affairs of others, pays his debts, works from sunrise to sun set, looks after his fam ily and greets you with a ch ery smile on a frosty morning, is a pretty good citizen, though not often receiv ing his dqe. However, this com mon plain man supports the com munity and keeps things going. During the past two years 525 vehicle drivers on the Pacific- coast have tried to drive through gates that were down at railroad crossings according to reports of the Southern Pacific Company, which show this number of cross ing gates broken by reckless drivers. - , .r:.

M uro. The Wasco team failed o f arrival at M oro and some one telephbned The Dalles from Wasco that the M oro team would not go to that city, because of cli matic conditions, when as a mat ter of fact the M oro team had drove to Biggs in time to catch a train for The Dalles. W hen Prof. Dunton heard o f the cancellation he had to bring the team back as the judges arranged for had been notified their services would not be required. It is expected that both debates w ill occur this wéck. The question for the fifth grade debate was: "Resolved, That travel by railroad affords more pleasure than travel by boa»." To affirm, Joe W ilson, M arvin H ow ell, and Johnnie Haynes. To deny, R khard Bennett, Floyd H owell, and Louis Schadewitz. The decision was in favor of the affirmative. Burlap importers and dealers announce that supplies are prac tically exhausted, with very little burlap of any sort to be had.
