THE DEBATE A BIG EVENT A VICTORY FOR THE AFFIRMATIVE The Dalles Attends With a Special Trala and High School Baad. The decisloo was given to The Dalies. It was a contest in which a great deal of interest was taken by both sues, 1 tie Uallea oomlng down by special train, and Hood River dllinu the spaoious Odd r'ellowa baU to the doors. Ever since Hood UWer won the de bate lust year at l u Oitllea, a sore ness ha rank ed 1 , the hearts of The Dalles eruv d. aud wi.ro it was decid ed to bate h djbate again this year they resulted to leave no stone on turned to reverse the decision of a year ago. It is said they were coached by legal talent of high ability, while the Hcod River boys bad no assist auce outside of their own ettorts. Rote tides made a good showing, and the majority of the Hood River Hudienoe were surprised at the decis ion while even many of The Dalles crowd admitted they weie equally surprised to reoeive the decision. Yet the defeat is taken graoefally by Hood River.altnougb it pats them oat ot the state contest tor tlila year. Ihruugh the generosity of lbs Dalles business men, a speolal train was furnished the school children, aud over 100 students and others earns down from The Dalles about live o'clock Friday afternoon, together with their High School band. Xbe crowd thronged through the streets, visiting the progiessiva stores of the city, aud after supper went op to the ball, where 100 seats bad been re served tor them In advanoe. A (ew minutes after the floors opened there was not a vacant obsir. and the late comers bad to stand. The time previous to the opening of the debate was taken up by selections from The Dalles band, . class yell From each side, ' and musioal selec tions from the Hood River Ulee olub. composed of young ladies. Waving pouuanta ot each side made a gaily uppearauoe, and added to the tutbus- iHKUi aud interest In the event ot the evening. , Prof, tl E. Joad acted as chairman of the meeting. The question was: "Resolved, that the Government Should Own and Op erate the Railways of the United States." ... . (lurry Nitsohke was leader of the affirmative for The Dalles, and the Urst orator of the evening. He out lined the argument for bis aide, and made a good talk, although laboring urnier the enects or recent illness, aud threfore somewbst nervous. The opposition was led by Hurler Cash, of Hood River, who at once proved himself the principal orator of the evening. He stated bis side ot the case in a clear, oonsica manner. and the debate was started witb in creased interest. Mr. Cash bad the advantage ot the others on bia side 00 acount of previous experience and a natural iltness for the platform. He made a good impression, and in the opinion of the majority of the audi enoe, the negative was having the best or the argument. llsi Jennie Millioan was tha sec ond speaker tor The Dalles. She is an experisuoed debater, has a good address, pleant voice, and ber argu ment snowed oonsideisble preparation and study. Merrill Oessliug followed for Hood River, and his talk was of moderate length and tj the point.. He direoted several points of saioaam towards bis opponents, and while it created mer riment, may not have wen tbe favor from the judges that was intended, yet bis points were well taken., Ray Harper was tbe third apeakei for The Dulles, and he bandied bis subject witb confidence, and made a good impression. Karl Outbank then took tbe plat form, and bis argument was one of faots, showing a good deal of study and a knowledge of the subject which should have clinched tbe battle for Hood River He was under the die- advactag however, of a weak voice, many in tne dbck part or the nail not being able to bear all of his discourse. Hurley Cash olosed the argument for the negative. In a masterly wsy be presented a dear, forceful argu ment, citing opinions from learned men to prove his side of tbe case, and in the raattei of points, Hood River bad tbe best of the srgument, la the opinion ot tbe audience. 1 Harry Nitsobke closed tbe argu ment for Tbe Dalles. - He presented many arguments that suggested tie help from . older beads, yet tbe audi ence was uot yet convinoed, and the decision showed that but two of the three judges were won over to tbe side of the affirmative. ' The judges were Prof. Robinson and Prof. White, of Portland, and Prof. Bryant, of Moro. . , , The result of tbe decision was fol lowed by a chorus of yells And music from The Dalles band, and the crowd dispersed. A large crowd of . Hood Kiver students escorted their viotori ous opponents to their special train, which did not pull out until after tbe departure of the night trains from Portland. A One banner wnion adorned the side of a cosoh on the Hicoial train was torn from its fasten iugs by tbe local contingent, and tbe irophy was fastened to the yard arm of tbe semaphore at the depot, to tbe effect that at least some of tbe laurels had been w rested vfrom their oppon ents. A dov. with tbe Hood River colors attached, was liberated soon after tbe speaking commenced, and attracted atteutlon from the debate during tbe evening by flying from one part of tbe room to tbe other. Tbe Dalles Chronicle was represented by Mrs.. I. M. Filloon, ss staff oorres pondent, and gave the affair muob publicity in that paper of the follow ing day. in speaking of tbe impres tiou of tje oity after tbelr arrival, she raid : Tbe Dalles crowd itrolied about tbe thrifty, busy oity yesterday looking at its up to date stores of every kind, aud at tbe pretty homes. The mer cha ts are optlmlstio as to tbe future ind 'say that tbey bad a good fall trade, far better than tbe previous 'year In spite of tbe oloud that dark ened tbe financial aky. Tbey have stores Oiled witb goods that would do justice to tbe larger eltiei. We aaw Messrs. Frank Cism, Irvin Parkins. Charles and 'Arthur Clarke, Vogt tsroa., .lonn Boom ana otner old Dalies boys, who are all enthusiasm over tbe present and future outlook of this pretty riverside citv of Hood River. Agaiu we must mention tbe stores beie, for tbey are olean, wall kept and well deerrvei sou roe of pride, not only to Hood River, but to toe eounty in wnicn it is located. Ibe walks are paved, tbe homes pretty places showing tbe pride their owners take In wanting to bare tbelr plaoa of abode tbe best wltbin their means. Ibe lawns are in good shape and cl an. The hotels are better thau In cities tbrioe tbe size of Hood Rivet, in short tbe olt tens of that place are an eoteiprislng people who exhibit civio pride in everything tbey do that is oommenaaDie, and wasco county bas great cause to be proud of It; and The Dalma la equally proud of Its sistet city. In visiting tha pilot shops where tbe Mews Letter and tbe Glacier are printed, we find Rev. Niokelsen editoi ot tbe former and Mr. Moe editor of tbe latter paper. ine xsews Lietter nss just chanced bands and has new owners. Tbey say tbelr oity Is growing and lots of busi ness Is done there and we believe tbem. Tbe hungry orowd ot 133 Dalles peo ple did ample justice at dinner time to tbe splendid spread set before them at tbe Mt. Hood hotel. This hotel is one of tbe bet in tbe state. On th's visit we notice that every derartment is complete. Every thing that was possible was done to make Tbe Dalles guests feel at home and comfortable ; tbev will appreciate It, and not foraet tbe place- when tbey return to tbe city Deside tne singing waters of Hood River. j Want a Dollar Rate. Editor Glacier: Resolutions were passed In nearly all tbe granges In tbe valley representing a membership of 400 and over that the rate ot 11.50 a month for pbone servloe that tbe Home Telephone Co. proposes to charge, was almost prohibitive to tbe majority ot tba farmers a committee of three from each grange was ap pointed to take some aotion and try to gut some reduction In tbe piioe or uno soma otner remedy for getting pbone service a little obeaper. The committee met January 0, In tbe Commercial olub , rooms and adopted resolutions asking for a flat rate of one dollar per month promising the hearty support of all members and their Influence to seoure for tbe Home oompkny tbe seivloe that was possible fl seoure. me, Home leiepnone Uo. is. as we ire told, a home company and asks tor our support, but proposes to charge tor it at a tate that looka as If tbey bad forgot tbey were also dealing witb home people.

One of the'Committee. To Plant Orchards. The Dalles Is becoming mora and more one of tbe great fruit ahlppins centers to eastern Oregon. Orobard- ists and local business men are realiz ing that tbe surrounding country it well adapted to fruit raisins. 2 Eaob year tbe fruit acreage la In creased and the business men aie tak ing an interest in tbe development of the surrounding section which augurs well and wbiob in the end wlU net good profits to the Investors. Among those wbo are Intending to Increase tbelr orohards tbe coming spring are Ed Williams, B. A. Gilford and Z. M. Chase. . 1, Ed Williams, of tba firm of A. M. Wiliiama & Co., wbo already has sev eral aoiea in orobard, will inorease bis fruit rHsretige by forty acres, chiefly . peaches and cherries of tbe Royal Ann variety. Mr. WiUiama bas faith In tbe productiveness of theMiM oreek soil, believing that any temper ate fruit can be raised it proper care and euitivatlon la given. Mill oreek's fame' has been spread tar and wide by the exoellenoy of ber grape output, lokey and Muscat tbe predominating varieties being unrivaled tor nsa in the fresh tiuit market end the per oent cf the saobarlne aobstance which they contain. Apples and poaobes. prunes and plums, besides smaller fruits and berries likewise thrive, making tbe Mill oreek community a veritable Eden for tbe horticultural-1 l-tt as weU as a mine for tbe investoi and tlnanolei. Truck gardenera wbo find a ready market the year around for tbelr produots at Tbe Dallea do well, a anything will giow If tbe seed eb but put into tbe ground. ' Eastern ers vow that tb oelery grown by tbe gardeners In this vioinity is equal it not auperior In texture and flavor to tbe famous Michigan product. A greater pott ion ot tbe bottom land along Mill oreek has teen taken up, and is held for sale only at almost prohibitive prices, so productive Is that soil for fruit growing. In vector 1 bave found out, however, that tbe soil along tbe road leading to Dutch Flat la identical witb that of Mill creek, and that section is also being rapidly taken up. Z M. Chase, of M. 7j. DonoeJl's drug store and also U. A. Gilford, bave purohased traots In tbia aeotlon and are contemplating the setting out of tbelr holdings to pesobes and cherries. 1 The triangular system of planting will be used to fa cilitate cultivation. Mr. Gifiord in tends to bieak up forty acres of new ground between now and planting time in tbe spring. He will set out cherries and peaches, dividing the two about equally making twenty aorea of each. Mr. Chase, wbo bas eighteen aorea adjoining that of Mr. Gi (lord's, wlU devote twelve aorea to tbe cultivation of peaches. Chroni cle. In a Strong Position. The Froltmsn's Guide, December 21, aaid: "Whether the (commercial) apple erop of tbe country this year turns out to be only 18,000,000 barrels 01 23,000,000 barrels, tbe faot remains that tbis fruit is, from a market point of view. In aplte ot toe late financial squeeze, in an exceeding strong posi tion ao far as future developments aie concerned." HOOD RIVER : APPLES WON IT SENATOR BOURNE DOES THE STUNT la Looking for a Reason .fur the Janlor Seaator Landing appointment, Cred ! U Given to Hood Itivi r Apples. i Senator Jonathan Bourne scored a victory at Washington last week when be secured tbe appointment of Chris Hcbuebel for distuct attorney over tbe beads ot tbe senior senator and oongressmeu. Ever sltoe Mr. Bourne baa been at Washington, it bas been notioeable that be I been close to tbe president. It also be remem bered tint, cieoatt 1 liouroe recently puirbuaed seven,, boxes of cboioe Hood River apples (which, by tbe way, most of tbe city press oailed simply Oregon apples; wbiob be gave to bis friends at Washington, and President Roosevelt got a liberal share. The Portland Telegram thinks tbe influence of those apples helped tbe juniot senator to land the ap pointment for bis man, and discourses oa the tact aa follows : Hood River apples have taken on a political aa well as a commercial val ue. When man it slnkins bia teeth. especially if tbey are as large as pres idential teeth, into a juloy, firm and deliolous produot of Hood River, be feels so bappy and contented that he oao refuse no boon to tbe man wbo gave him tbe herein before mentioned apple. More than anything else were Hood River applea responsible for Chris Sobuebel being appointed Unit ed States district attorney for Ore gon. Ibe lemon bas long played an Im portant part In politics. Tbe plum bas been known slnoe the days of Washington, and pie has a most agreeable taste to those wbo bave a bite, bot tbe apple never aobieved piominenoe after Adam tried one and the oore atuok In bia tbioat, until tbe Hood River variety was introduced at the White House. Senator Jonathan Bourne has been feeding Roosevelt on Hood Rivets tor several months, ao when it came to a test between Bourne on one side and Senator Fulton and Representatives kills and liawley on tbe other, Bourne bad a walkover, lie had leaohed the presidential good will through the er apple. incidentally, of course, Bourne's "seoond-eleotive term" phrase bad something to do with Sohuebel's ap pointment and tbe senator's pull, and aha tbe reward of $1000 offered for au essay on why people ahould vote once more lor Kooeevelt, but any horticul turist in the Hood River district is ready to make an affidavit that H was tbe gloriua apple that did tbe trick. There Is no record of Senator Ful- tou presenting a royal Chinook sal mon to Roosevelt during bia six years in tbe senate, or the matter ot tbeap polntment may have bad a different ending. And, apeaklng of apples, tbe only variety w. V. Bristol appears to bave bad were green. ibe one question beard in political olrolea todsy Is, "WlU Fulton make a ognt against tbe confirmation ot Sohuebel's appointment?" Opinion la divided, sluoe tbe senator himself has olvrin no clew aa to his lntnntlnntL ruiton IH do nothing until be ar rives at Washington other than, poa sibly, sending a few private telegrams to fellow senators. Since the presi dent deliberately turned down tbe senior senator and tbe members of tbe House In favor of the junior senator, friends of Fulton declare that the only thing for him to do la to put up a tight, and, by winning, avenge tbe slight put upon him by Roosevelt. (senator rolton, bowever, is not ot an aggressive nor pugnacious disposi tion, and may not exeroise the power at bia oommand to give Bourne and noosevelt a few eye-openers. Old time republican lawyers are especially hostile - over tbe appointment of Sobuebel through tbe influence of the Oregon apple. Tbey are asking what'a tne ose ot bearing tbe burden and tbe heat of tbe day to see tbe reward for a gdod boy go where few if any of then) wanted It.
