that the county appropriate $4,500 for
this purpose. Dr. G. S. Wright stated
there was reason to believe that the
county could get $10,000 more from
the state next year. W. T. Vinton
amended the motion to make the
amount $7,500, the same as Tillamook

On Saturday evening, January 15th,
the wielders of firey words and
weighty arguments, the debators of
the Tillamook High School, will
meet the Scappoose High School rep-
resentatives in forensic battle, The
local negative team composed of Del-
mer Powers and Clifton Martin, will
coach
travel to Scappoose with
Crockatt, while Lee Doty and Ernest
Crockatt will defend the local ros
trum. The question "Resolved: That
the United States should adopt the
essential features of the Swiss sys
tem of military training and service,”
is one of the big questions of the day
and the local boys have worked for
months until they feel that they have
got to the bed rock on the subject
Delmcr Powers the leader of the neg
ative team is a convincing speaker
and Clifton Martin wins his audience
at the start with his witty way. I.e<
Doty the first speaker on the affir
mative has developed a fiery delivery
that promises to burn up his oppon
ents and Ernest Crockatt leader of
the affirmative team has debated for
three years in Pendleton High School
under one of the best coaches in the
state. Coach Crockatt is deserving of
much credit for his work in develop
ing the boys and it is an acknowledg
ed fact that without a good coach no
high school team can hope to succeed.
To Form New Organization.
A meeting was called on Wednes
day evening at the Court House, to
hear reports of the delegation that
went to Portland to attend the meet
ing of the Oregon Development
League. The meeting was not attend
ed by business men as it should have
been, there being about 20 persons
present.
Messrs Claussen and Walls gave a
brief account of what took place in
Portland.
Mayor Brodhead handed in some
correspondence in regard to letter
writing week, which was handed over
to the newspaper men to publish.
The matter of reorganizing was dis
cussed and the chairman appointed
Messrs. Robison, Callahan and Hen
derson a committee to revise the by
laws and make recommendations as
to what is best to be done.
The meeting adjourned until next
Tuesday evening, at the Court House,
writh the request that everybody make
it a point to get the business men out
that evening.

There was a great enthuiasm man
ifested last Suhday when the an
nouncement was made that our at
tendance was 31 greater than that of

help us keep the lead.

there will be a series of, sermons
preached at the morning hotft on the
uniform S. S. lesson.
Next Sunday morning the theme
will be: “The Coming of the Huly
Spirit." These sermons will be ar.
ranged with the thought and fiurpcse
of mutual helpfulness to all.
“John the Baptist and his Message”
will be the evening theme. An evan
gelistic sermon full of life, interest
and instruction. Come once and we
believe you will want to come again.

Lyceum Course.
After a month’s intermission, the
fourth number of the local lyceum
course will be held on Saturday, Jan.
22nd. The program will be rendered
by Mr .and Mrs. Glen Wells, enter-
.ainers who are well known for their
zersatility and cleaverness. Each of
-hem is capable of giving an entire
evening's entertainment alone.
The committee which has the ly-
c.eum course in charge has arranged a
special rate of $¡.00 for the remaining
three numbers of the course and it is
expected that a better response will
be given than heretofore. The re
maining numbers include, besides the
Wells Entertainers, the Old Town
Quartette, a male organization, and
Totten, a magician and illusionist.
Thé quartett will be here early in
February and Totten in March.
Basket Ball.
In a fast and exciting basket ball
game at ’the opera house on Wednes-
day night, the local high school team
walloped the Alumni to the tune of
20-4. The game from whistle to
whistle with excitement and many
brilliant plays were executed, The
most interesting of the game was
when in three minutes of play the
high school worked together for
three field baskets, shot one right
after the other by Ray Erickson,
adding 6 points in short notice. The
Alumni, although all good individual
players failed to connect with the
basket because of poor shooting and
team work. Ray Erickson as usual
was the high school star making
four field baskets or 8 points. Crock-
att in the second half niade 6 and
Jones, Crimmins and Lucas each
made two points in the half they
played.
The game clearly showed the super
iority of the school boys and is much
more decisive in score than the last
game which was 16-14 in favor of
the high school. The lineup was as
follows. Alumni, Buel, center; Ebin-
ger and Lamar, forwards; A. Boquist
and F. Erickson guards. The high
school, Edwards and Lucas, centers;
R> Erickson, Jones and Crockatt,
forwards; J. Erickson, Crimmins and
Fletcher, guards. Foster referee and
Sanders umpire.
The high school basket ball team is
getting a stiff workout this week
preparetory tp the big games of the
future by playing the Alumni on last
Wednesday night and playing the
Garibaldi team on Friday and the
local town team on Saturday night.
There is plenty of material out of
which to pick a good
team and
Coach Sanders is continually switch
ing the men in different positions. The
local team is probably much better
than the average school team of this
state.

Proclamation
Designating
Letter
Writing Week.
o------
Whereas, it appears that much ben
eficial publicity will result for Ore
gon and all its communities by the
writing of letters descriptive of our
State to our acquaintances, friends,
and relatives who have not the good
fortune to dwell in Oregon; and
Whereas, it is pointed out that the
best results in such a letter writing
campaign can best be obtained by
organizing and setting aside for it a
definite period; and
Whereas, many organizations have
already interested themselves in in-
dividual efforts along this line;
Now, therefore, I do hereby pro
claim the week of January 17th to
22nd, 1916, as Oregon Letter Writing
Week, and during that week it is de
sired that the people of the organiza
tions and communities of our state
bend their energies to dispatching as
many messages as possible to people
in other states and countries descrip
tive of the opportunities, resources,
and attractions of Oregon; and I fur
ther suggest that our newspapers,
officials, school teachers, and com
munity organizations will do well to
give the purpose and plans of Oregon
letter writing week recognition and
their hearty co-operation, so that or
ganized effort for intelligent and far
reaching publicity for Oregon may be
achieved.
In testimony thereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the State of Oregon to
he hereunto affixed this eighth day of
January, 1916.
