DEBATE DATE HAS BEEN FIXED
WHITMAN AND PACIFIC WILL
MEET IN FOREST GROVE
FEBRUARY %.

The date of the Whitman Pacific
university debate has been fixed for
February %. The president of the
Whitman debate council was advised
today by the secretary of the Pacific
council that they had settled upon the
exact time. The contest will be held
in Forest Grove and Whitman will be
represented by the three seniors Sc
lected in the tryout just before Christ
mas. They are Louis c. Sutherland,
James Gilbreath and Edward D. Bald
win. Pacific has to line up against
these debaters, the strongest team she
ever had, with w. B. Rasmussen, the
finest college debater in the northwest,
to lead the team.
Whitman will defend the affirmative
of the question, Resolved, that the
interstate commerce commission should
be given the power to fix railroad rates
in disputed cases; such rates to be
in force until reversed by the higher
courts"
The Whitman team will be coached
by Rev. Austin Rice and Professor

Nine Survivors May Yet Perish.
The situation at the scene OF the
wreck this morning was much more
favorable for lifesaving, as during the
night the sea had gone down and the
steamer Salvor, which had evidently
been lying at Bamfield. set out for the
wreck to see if any aid can be fur
nished. Meanwhile another and. If
possible, more terrible chapter in the
whole affair is being written on the
coast at Telegraph Huts, where nine
survivors drifted ashore on the day OF
the wreck. Only intermittent COM
munication mas been established with
them and several attempts to get to
them have been fruitless. This morn
ing reports from Bamfield state that
the nine surviving men are in a ter
rible condition. They are unable to
walk and some are even unable to
stand. There are those unable even to
get to proper places of shelter and they
are sitting destitute, cold and starving
They nave no provisions excepting a
meagre' amount carried by a party of
three which left Bamfield yesterday
and who managed to get some susten-
ance to them. One has sprained
ankle and others have no boots. All
are exhausted. Last evening the en-
tire party attempted to cross the
swollen stream to go to the wreck and
one nearly lost his life. Logan and
Daykin, the two men who started two
days ago to help these people, with
ropes and gear could not get across the
stream. The wreckage is coming
ashore all along the beach and it is
reported that the bodies of a woman
and child have also washed ashore

TRAVELLED ON VALENCIA.
WaIia Walla Volunteers Taken
Manila on Wrecked Ship.

WaIIa WaIIa Volunteers Taken to
Manila on Wrecked Ship.
The wreck of the steamship Valencia
is of more than passing interest to
many young men of Walla Walla.
During the Spanish American war the
Valencia was used as a government
transport and made several trips to
Manila carrying troops. On her Sec
ond trip she carried the second bat
talon of the First Washington regi-
ment, Company of Walla Walla being
one of the companies in the battalion,
and on the third trip portion of the
Fourth Cavalry was taken to the
islands. When crossing the ocean with
the Washington soldiers the Valencia
and the steamer Senator travelled to-
gether. When the boats were about to
enter the China sea they ran into a
small typhoon and had a strenuous
time of getting through the storm.
The Senator being a much better boat
succeeded in making some Roadway
and weathered the storm. The Valen-
cia, however, was not equal to the oc-
casion, and her captain, not caring to
take any chances, turned his craft
around, beat back into the Pacific
about 100 miles and waited until the
storm had subsidized. In speaking of
that occurrence today one of the former
members of Company l said that the
Walla Walla soldiers thought that
their time had come and hardly any
of them believed they would ever reach
land again. The seas ran high and the
boat f1oundered about in the water all
night, the crew having a hard time to
keep her from being swamped by the
waves. The next morning the storm
died down and the Valencia proceeded
on her voyage, arriving in the harbor
at Manila about II hours after the
Senator had reached port.

THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

One of the boodling state senators
of New York, who is about to be
brought into publicity for his COM
plicity in the Insurance frauds, says
he wishes the art of printing newspa-
pers had never been invented, says
the Pendleton East 'Oregonian.
One of the convicted public officials
of Oregon also remarked during his
trial that if it wasn't for the damned
papers he wouldn't care.
Oh, but the damned papers" do
play havoc with the schemes of ras-
Gals! They are searchlights which
cannot be hidden, and once a man gets
into the glare of the light and all the
world see him, close range, as he is.
How merrily would the rascals steal
and plumber and maraud We're it not
for the power and the alarming alac-
rity of the press?
How the public would be hood
winked and bluffed and fooled by
smooth and insinuating culprits We're
it not for the interchangeable exposures,
the daring assaults, the tireless vigil
lance of the press!
No wonder the rascals wish the art
had never been invented!

ton of their duties nor is the presi-
dent bound to one state in their ap-
pointment.
However, it is the policy of the gov
eminent, even in the minor places COW
cred by the civil service, to give all the
states their quota of appointments 1t
would be so in the first class Offices
even should we adopt the English sys-
tenn of appointments.
The practical working out of this
system would be to eliminate the post
master from senatorial politics. 1t
would be nothing to the postmaster of
Chicago whether Mr.. Cullom or Mr..
Yates were senator from Illinois. He
would be looking to a record Of eff
cheney in mis- office which would put
him in line for postmaster of New
York, and the postmaster of Cincin-
natl or Cleveland would have in mind
not Mr. Foraker's political interests,
but his own office and the hope of be-
coming postmaster of Chicago with a
larger salary and greater opportu-
mites. The serving of the people with
their mail would become somewhat
more of a science and a convention of
poStmaSterS would become a cOnven-
ton of professional men rather than a
caucus of astute politicians.

WILL STUDY PROBLEMS OF HEAT
PROFESSOR BROWN, OF WHIT.
MAN COLLEGE INVENTS A
NEW APPARATUS.

Professor B. H Brown, of Whitman
college, is working night and day this
week preparing the physical laboratory
for the new classes in the study of the
problems of heat and electricity which
will begin next week. The experiment
part of these courses will be carried
attempted.
Some of the new apparatus which
the professor has himself constructeI
during the past week will be used to
find the exact amount of force which
is given off by the combustion of
wood. Another ingenious continuance
will show just how much bar of iron
will expand when bathed in a jet OF
steam for a given time while another
will measure to the fraction of a MILL
meter the expansive force of any gas
Of liquid.
The instrument for measuring the
results of combustion or "calorie-
METER as it is called by Professor
Brown is an invention of his own. 1t
is so contrived that every particle of
the heat obtained from the burning
can be saved and measured. In the
ordinary engine about so per cent is
lost. The startling result is ObtaineL
when no force is lost in this manner
that the burning of single match in
the little tin box of the "caloriemeter"
will generate power enough to raise a
ton several feet
The instrument for measuring the
force of gas will be used by Professor
Brown to test the expansive force Of
the city gas Experiments in this di-
rection are also being conducted by
Professor Brubaker, of the chemical
department, from his standpoint. He
intends to nave complete apparatus
installed for analysing city gas The
preliminary experiments also begun
have been very successful and will be
resumed after examination week is
over.

Story of a Survivor

was given to get out the boats. Two
of them on the weather side were
launched and were smashed like egg
shells as soon as they struck the
water. Then came an attempt to get
out one at leeboard. Purser O'Farrell
took charge. Four women and a num-.

At the local offices of the Pacific
Coast company the statement given out
that information has been received
from the wreck Office that one life raft
and one life boat are yet unaccounted
for. They had gotten away safely
from the Valencia. On one raft were
eight women, it is said, while no one
knows how many were in the life boat.
The raft which it is said contained the
women may be the one picked up by

PRESIDENTIAL POSTOFFICE
REFORM.

The National Civil Service Reform
league, which has recently been dis
cussing ways and means of getting
presidential postmasters from under
the clutches of the senators, had
pat Illustration of the evils of patron
age placed before it while it was in
session. The term of the postmaster
at Chicago expired. Mr.. Coyne had
made an exceptional record in the
recommendations, reported by a close
friend of the president who evil
IDENTIFY had seen the documents, were
the most remarkable which had ever
been laid before president" Yet Mr..
Coyne had to go because of the ext
gencies of the senatorial campaign in
Illinois. Yates and Deneen are fighting
Cullom and Hopkins for the seat now
filled by Cullom. The purely business
function of collecting and distributing
mail somehow got mixed up with it
and Chicago gets new postmaster.
There are now in the country about
$500 presidential postoffices and
enough foreign ministers, district at
and others to bring the total presiden-
tial Offices up to 1000. These offices are

over them. In few instances the
president himself makes the appoint
ments, but in nine out of ten the ap-
pointment is that of the senators from
the state in which the official is sta
toned and is merely recorded by the
president.
The Civil Service Reform league says
this is a state of affairs to be gotten
away from. The congress of the Unit

How to bring about a change with

1t would also meet with local political

would think it strange that a man
from Massachusetts SHOULD come here
to act as postmaster. But then if the
postmaster of Walla Walla by making
a record stood a chance to be called to
Philadelphia or Boston there would be
compensation. The main problem
would be to divorce from the public
