lJamlon high school dpbntlnf? team,
upholding tlio nftlrmntlvo of tho rov
nnn int ownership o( railroads ques
tion, (1 of en ted Medford lilph school in
Kugeno yesterday afternoon, by a
two tn ono decision. Tho llnndon
tram mlinl now debate Snlcin high
school and tho winner then will dc
bato tho enstorn Oregon champions
for tho chnniiilonBlilp of tho state.
Tho affirmative In this debate con.
tended tjmt government ownership of
tho railroads is necessary for tho com
plete economic growth and develop
ment of tho nation, on tho contention
that railroad Investments nro no
longer desirable; that tho proper
function of a democratic government
is to extend Its railroad facilities
with tho resulting expansion; and
thirdly, thnt government ownership
has been successful, ns evidenced in
43 dlffcront nations, and also in tho
Panama canal zone.
The negative denied the chargo
that tho railroads control American
industries or American finances, and
thoy contended that government own
ership of tho railroads is financially
impossible. Tho valuation of tho
American railroads it contended Is
$10,000,000,000 and to purchase
them outright would multiply tho na
tional debt 1,7 times. This It was as
serted would depreciate the valuo of
federal bonds. It was contended
that it costs tho government more to
Inilld and operate than prlvato cor
porations, through lack of competlvo
forces, and cited alleged waste of
$40,000,000 in tho construction of a
Canadian transcontinental railroad.
Tho government, it said, is a political
and not a commercial organization.
Tho victorious Bandon team was
composed of George Stolr, Fern Be
long and Jack Kronenbcrg. Tho Med-,
ford team was composed of F. C.
Purkeypllo, Hugo Lundbcrg and Earl
Hubbard.
The Judges were Dr. Joseph Scha
fcr, .of tho University of Oregon. Pro

versity of Washington and Percy Col

OLD NEWSPAPER MEN
NEW YORK, March 31, John
Urlshen Walker, formerly a magazlno
publisher hero, now retired to a
Colorado estato, announced through
tho Editor and PubJIshor today an
Offer to glvo a alto of 40 acres at
Mount Morrison, Colo,, to establish
a homo for nowBpnper mon. Mr.
Walker stated that ho had reached
tho decision to offer tho gift after
conferences with Now York Journal
ists, ,
In his announcement Mr. Walker
declared that "although no profes
sion makes more sorlous demands
upon tho health of Its members than
that of Journalism, no attempt has
beon mndo'up to this tlmo to estab
lish a country homo whoro those who
have given their best efforts to tho
press may find a retreat in tho event
of a temporary or pormnnont breakdown,"
Ry ROGER W. UA11SON.
GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, March 27.
From Ecuador tho usual tropical
fruits are exported, also soffo, cot
ton, tobacco and rubber. Tho last
named may bo gathered and brought
to market every month In the year,
and all over the world there Is an
Increasing demand for It. Sugar
cane Is raised In little mora than suf
ficient quantities for home consump
tion, though a little Is sent to other
countries.
Tho extensive forests contain trees
of many valuable varieties. Including
besides rubber, and the various palms,
tho cinchona, from which quinine,
over necessary In this climate, Is
obtained, tho mangrove, an agent of
the tanning Industry, and the silk
cotton tree, whose fibre Is known to
the commercial world ns kapok. Cat
tle and sheep nro raised, as there
are extenslvo grazing lands, especial
ly In tho uplands. Hides bring good
prices and are largely cxpor:ed, as.
arc also goatskins and alligator skins,
Tho wool produced Is snld to bo of
very flno quality.
Tho mineral wealth of tho country
Is known to be large, but Is little do
vcoplcdod owing to tho Inadequate
means of transportation. Gold, mer
cury, copper. Iron, lead, silver nnd
platinum havo been found, as well
as largo deposits of sulphur In cer
tain districts. Petroleum has also
been discovered In paying quanti
ties. It that Is the fuol of the future, It
might bo very profitable to havo a
dopot of supply on this coast. There
are groat coal fields in tho Interior,!
but little developed. Increased rail
road facilities will almost certainly
bring wealth to those developing t,ho
mineral resources.
Ecuador has ono shoo factory, em
ploying 100, output CO, "On pairs n
year. Tho manager Is a North Am
erican, who received his training Jn
Now England factories.
Manufacturing, however, Is n lim
ited industry, howovcr, and much of
tho work is dono in a rather primi
tive way by hand. Guayaquil makes
important articles of consumption,
even Including lco. Ono of tho most
successful manufactures mentioned Is
that of matches. A woll-equlppcd
tannery la also in operation at this
port, and smaller establishments pro
duce bags, cotton fabrics and mo
saics. Tho intenso heat at this lowland,
swampy placo must dlscnurngo very
active endeavors in any lino. Tho
higher lancLi, however, boast more
manufacturing, Quito having flour
millB, foundries, sugar refineries and
ico factories. Shoos, wagons, sad
dlos, embroideries, laco and other
things aro mado by hand,
Quito is notod for the largo amount
of religious painting and sculpture
dono by Its artists and sent to other
countries.
Though this city Is almost oxactly
on tho equator, yet Its elevation of
over 9,000 feet makes it a pleasant
climate, and far more healthful than
tho lowlands. There Is less rainfall
and n shorter winter season than nt
Guayaquil.
At Quito nro oltunted most of tho
higher educational Institutions, nnd
thu National Astronomical observa
tory Is a very Imposing building.
The governmont expends about $KiO,
000 annually In tho maintenance of
tho universities nt Guayaquil, Quito
and Cuencn, nnd n law school nt l.oja,
flic president recommends tho em
ployment of more foreign teachers
In these Institutions nnd nlo tho es
tablishment of a school for the train
Ing of teachers.
A printing press was sot tip hero
among these almost Inaccessible
mountains ns far hack as 1700. This
was Introduced by the Jesuits and
they published a small periodical for
a few years; but later tho press was
used only for rollglouB tracts, and
court nnd public announcements.
A regular newspaper was started
in Quito, howovcr, In 17S5, and no
