HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE.
Aberdeen and HOquiam Tomorrow
Niaht in CONGREGATIONAL Church.

A great deal OF interest is raised at the
present time at the High school over the
debate which occurs with Hoquiam, Fri.
day evening in the Congregational
church in this city. The High school is
to be represented by Miss Florence Sem
men, Mr.. Fritz Belts and Clarence Hop.
kins. This team has been under special
training for weeks, and is going to make
a strenuous effort to win the decision OF
the judge.
The Hoquiam team has been making
preparations for this event all year and
they contemplate making it a very close
contest, and because of their recent VIC
tory in the Decamatory Contest are,
perhaps. very confident OF victory. The
Judges have not been decided upon, but
will be disinterested, outside parties.
The Literary Societies of the High
school have the affair in charge, and q
nominal fee will be charged at the door,
in order to defray expenses of the con.
test. This being the first affair of this
kind here in the city by the local High
school this year, it is to be expected that
large crowd will be in attendance and
by their presence and enthusiasm help
our team on to victory.

Against The SaSSafraS Route-Will
Work For Chesapeake &
Delaware Canal.
Delaware Canal.

The Wilmington Board of Trade
Will shortly send a delegation to
Washington to urge Congress to
adopt the Chesapeake & Delaware
route for the proposed ship canal,
and it is announced a strong effort
will be made in this direction,
which will be supported by the
Philadelphia mercantile bodies.
The activity indicated in Balti
more for the Sassafras route is the
primary cause of this decision.
Data in support of the present
canal are being prepared. 1t will
state that by the Chesapeake Il
Delaware route it will be cheaper
to haul coal and other products
between Baltimore, Wilmington,
Philadelphia and New York.
The presence of Fort Dupont at
the Delaware end of the present
canal will be cited. and the claim
will likely be made that the open
ing of a free ship canal might com
pei the Government to pay dam
ages to the Chesapeake & Delaware
company.

cornered Tomatoes Still On Hand.

The bankers committee which
has had practical charge of the
affairs Of Smith, Rouse & Webster,
who failed in their efforts to "cor,
ner" the canned tomato pack in
the early summer, will be extended
to next March.
The committee formed soon after
the collapse of the 'scorner" and
took charge of the stock held by
the embarrassed firm. This com.
mittee still has in its charge sew
eral hundred thousand cases of
canned tomatoes which had been
accumulated by Smith, Rouse &
Webster, and which are still un
sold. These have been held, in
view of the advancing market for
the stock and the increasing de
mand. Naturally, the better the
price obtained the more chance the
creditors of the embarrassed firm
have of getting their money or a
large proportion of it.
