AI APPLEGATE
A very Intorc'rtlnj; dobato was hed
at the. Applegate school last Saturday
nlKlit. Tlie subject, wua "Hebolved,
That Wood Is Moro Useful Than
Iron. Tho affirmative was supported
by did Applegate team composed of
Jose Wright, Edith Kubll, and Bes
slo Headland the Itueh team consist
ing of James Illce, Frank lioone and
Lois nice upheld the negative. 'The
debate was characterized by the witty
and sarcastic remarks by which each
side met the strong arguments of
their opponents. Doth sides showed
careful preparation and good delivery
hut this decision went to the negative.
It was considered that tho argument
wns unusually good ono for boys and
girls of tho eight grade nnd first year
high school.
Thn boys and girls of both schools
showed their school spirit by yells
and Hongs. Tho Applegate Glee Club
rendered a good sou'g to help tho en
tertainment. After tho program sev
eral pairs of boys took turns at a
pillow fight, the combatnnts sitting
astldo a' pole and facing each other.
Ladles of the community had con
tributed about 75 pumpkin pics and
Mr. (Jrubb had furnlshod the mater
ial for n barrel of elder so that all
of Ilia 200 or more people present had
umplu refreshments.
This Is but one of a scries of con

DEBAT
BRING THE REFUGEES' HERE
AjSt organized effort should he made lo eoiohizo n por
tion of the Rogue Kiver valley with Helginh refugees.
The Belgians are the most filugal,' industrious, enpahle in
tensive farmers in the world. They would make this val
ley produce a thousand fold grout er.
The Rogue River Canal company could do nothing hot
ter for the advancement of their interests than to place a
colony of Belgians upon Roguelands. It would he a prae-
i 1 .1 i li il . Hit 1
meal demonstration ot too vaiue 01 inoir nroneri v.
The kind of farmers the Belgians are is shown hy the
results. Their wheat production averages above thirty
Seven bushels to the acre, as against fifteen bushels to the
acre in the "United States. TJiey grow fifty bushels of bar
ley to the acre, where we grow twenty-fotr; ;U2 bushels of
potatoes to tlie acre, where we grow ninety, and other
'crops in proportion.
Thousands of acres of land are held in this vallev idle
because the owners are either holding it for speculative
purposes, hoping to reap an
tion through the, industry of
cause they are fob'hi'v to tann it. JSueh land could well be
utilized by tlie homeless from Belgium conferring a beli
ef it upon the valley and the Belgians.
Tluu-c is no question but that an attractive proposition
could bo made these refugees, that thousands of acres could
be turned over to thorn to farm, to be paid for on long time
and easy terms. All that such land requires is industry
and that is what the Belgians possess and the Oregoiiian
lacks.
No better way of upbuilding and developing southern
Oregon can be devised than by colonizing tlie land with
Belgian refugees.
INSPECT THE
; A VERY citizen of the Rogue River valley who can
. should go on the excursion over tlie new Siskiyou
grade, being arrain'ed by the !M"edford and Ashland Com
mercial clubs and the county court for Thursday.
The new highway is the' finest in the northwest. Tt is
almost finished and the excursion will afford the public a
chance to view the road before the winter rains set in.
There has been a great deal of nou-iutelligent criticism
directed toward the Pacific highway work, and this ex
cursion is designed to show what has been accomplished.
Those who have traversed the new grade have nothing
but praise for the engineering and construction work.
