WHITMAN TO HAVE MORE DEBATES
Are Arranging for Contests With
Teams From Pullman and
Idaho Colleges.

Efforts are being made by the Whit
man Debate Council to put off the COM
ing debate with Pullman and overtures
have been made to w. S. c. looking to
that end with no reply as yet. The
debate as now scheduled will take place
in a little over two weeks. The alb
sence of Greenslade, leader of the team,
in Nashville, Tenn, where he is at
tending the international convention of
the Student Volunteer movement. will
make it necessary to place a substitute
on the team unless the contest can be
postponed.
The tryout for the University Of Ida
no team will take place shortly. This
contest is expected to be one of the
most strenuous in which Whitman ever
engaged. 1t is the ninth debate in the
series, in which Whitman and Idaho
have each won four. AS neither of
these schools have lost series except
to each other this contest will decide
the debating championship of the north
west. Whitman never lost to Pullman
and has won both debates from Oregon
State university and from Pacific uni
versity, which is champion west of the
mountains.

Rough.

The late Henry Harland, author OF
The Cardinals Snuff Box" and other
graceful stories, was once recountlng,
at the Authors club in New York, MS
experiences as editor of the famous
yellow Book"
Mr.. Harland praised Aubrey Boards

Though only boy of q or So he
said, "Beardsey was as clever in the
editorial as in the contributing capac-
ity He was, indeed, practically the
art editor of the yellow Book

three days walking trip with him. He
sketched, of course, on the walk. He
MADE a number of sketches in oil col
ors And they were very artistic and

The Sahara's Popularity,

The Sahara desert has become popu-
lar as a winter resort. In the GASES of
palms nearest to the Mediterranean
coast a number of palatial hotels have
arisen. 1t is now possible to winter in
the Sahara as luxuriously as at Or
mOnd.
The deserts popularity is in great
part due to Robert Hichens' novel
The Garden of Allah In this novel
Mr.. Hichens beautifully describes the
Saharas charm in winter Many per-
sons, awakened by him to the beauty of
the great waste of yellow sand, now
seek the Sahara as they once sought
Monte Carlo.
a New York man wrote to Mr. HIGH
ems and asked him just where the scene
of The Garden of Allah" was laid
Mr.. Hichens replied-from Taormina,
in Sicily
My tofn of Beni-Mora is drawn from
Biskra. and there you will find garden
like Count Anteoni's-also Arabs much
like Larbi. Batouch and Hadj."

VioIet-tipped Cigarettes.

His cigarette was tipped with violet
petals. When he opened the gold case,
there emanated a delicate and sweet
odor of violets that the aromatic Egyp-
ton tobacco could not overpOwer
''These cigarettes" he said frankly,
"cost $40 a hundred They are import
ed from Cairo, and after their arrival
my tobacconist tips them with flowers.
The idea is stolen from a member of
Prince Louis suite.
Il like violet tips the best. The per-
fume is jolly, isn't it? With a lavendar
shirt and handkerchief the violet looks
awfully we'll, too.
Sometimes l have tips of rose petals
Red and pink and white roses are used.
The white rose tips are for the even

The red are for gay, feverish functions

Bertram Lippincott. of the Lippincott
company, has awakened at last to the
realization that his project was only
a bottomless well into which he poured
over 100000 Of his private fortune and
fourteen years of wasted labor.
The work. which was to have been
called "Lippincott's Dictionary of the
English Language" suddenly was aban-
doned vast week in stae of incomple-
ton, with its final plates cast down to
the word ESTEEM" and the skeleton in
the rough complete to the end of the
alphabet.
Ill health and worry caused by many
delays in completing the dictionary,
for it was expected to be completed
years ago, was the reason stated for
giving up the work.
For fourteen years the dictionary
has been before me- said Mr.. Lippin-
colt. 1T cost me hundreds of thou
sands of dollars and it seemed no near
er the end. 1t would keep me awake at
night, thinking about the thing. and

sible task Words that have been used

The Sherlock Holmes Spirit,

The Bill club of Missouri is compos-

Bill" Its members include some of the
leading men of the state.
At the Bill clubs last meeting in
Excelsior Springs, the well-known de-
tective, Hilary K. Adair. was a guest of
honor.
Mr.. Adair, in responding to a tast,
talked about the Sherlock Holmes
spirit.
This spirit he said, reveals to it's
fortunate possessor startling truths in
the most prosaic happenings. Every in
cident of life, to a true Sherlock, is full
of wonderful significance-as full of
wonderful significance as an incident
that witnessed in a grocery the other

TURN ALL PAPERS OVER
TO SECRETARY.
WILL ALL Be DECIDED IN ONE SUIT

PENDLETON, Or, March 1.-March
10 has been designated by Judge Ellis
as a date for trial of the Tribune case
and at that time the attorneys for E.
p. Dodd and associates must file a reply
to the answer recently made by A. D.
Stillman, attorney for the employee
stockholders. The date was set by
Judge Ellis after an extended argu-
ment between Attorney Fee and Still
man, in which the former contended
for 80 days in which to make his
reply.
The demurrer which the DOdd attor.
neys filed to the suit brought by the
employees was overruled by Judge FL
lis. All Of the points at issue between
Mr.. Dodd and his fellow shareholders
have been condensed into one suit, and
everything will be disposed Of when
the coming trial is held.
In the answer which the employee
stockholders recently made to the suit
brought against them by E. P. Dodd,
the court is asked to cancel the order
making F. w. Vincent receiver of the
Tribune and to require him to ac-
count for his actions while serving as
receiver; it is also asked that E. p
DOdd be required to turn over to c.. W.
Myers, secretary of the company, all
books, notes, accounts, contracts and
property of every other kind belonging
to the company, and that Mr.. Dodd al
so be required to make a full and fair
accounting of all business transacted
while he was serving as president or
manager of the Tribune company.
Likewise, it is asked that Mr. Dodd be
compelled to answer under oath before
the court all material questions that
may be propOunded to him relative to
the business or property of the Tri-
bune company.

expected that the provisions recon-

Former Envoy 10 America Says
lis All Right.
DECLARES CHINA IS AT A CRISIS
THE PEOPLE GENERALLY FEEL
THAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS
MANY REFORMS.

L
former minister to the United States
from China, when interviewed for the
first time on the existing situation in
China, sopke in favor Of the boycott
Ting Fang is now living quietly
in Picking, devoting his time to codify-
ing the laws of China, one of the nu.
merous reforms now under way. He
suffered for a long time from deafness
from the effects of the explosion of the
bomb near him at the railway station
last September, but has now recovered.
Speaking of present conditions, WI
Ting Fang said:
China is in a crisis and is passing
through transition stage. Her states
men and people feel that China needs
reform, but there are great differences
of opinion regarding the means. There
are those who speak foreign languages
and who have been abroad and who
have had experience on both sides of
the question. They favor sensible and
useful reforms, but not too radical. so
as to make China first able to stand
upon her own feet The number of
these sensible reformers is few. 1 am
one of them.
1.-The ruling classes also know that
something should be done, but they
are at their wits end to know what
to do.
Students Are Rash.
1.-The third class is composed of
young students. who are too rash. They
need training and experience.
Financial reforms should be car
ried out in the first place, but without
foreign advice and capital it would be
impossible to do so under present con.
ditiOns.
Il was working out scheme which
had to be abandoned because it was
necessary to call on foreign advice
The new coinage is a stop-gap.
"One thing upon which the majority
of Chinese are agreed is, that China has
been deprived of many rights by con-
cessions and territorial grants and by
the way her people have been treated
by foreigners in China and foreign
countries.
Many Chinese who have gone
abroad to America, Australia and the
write home complaining of
arbitrary determinations made against
the Chinese which dare not be at
tempted against other foreigners.
Therefore everyone is angry and hence
the boycott of American goods, illus
trating the feeling against the unjust
exclusion laws. 1t has spread over all
China and is solely in retaliation
against unjust discrimination, and is
not anti foreign.
Not Hostile to Foreigners.
''The Chinese people and officials
are On good terms with all foreigners
and have no hostile feeling toward
them. The Chinese merchants have the
best feeling toward foreign merchants
THE majority of the people in the
interior are Indifferent to all foreigners
in the interior, who write
that they are we'll trea led, with no
signs of hostility against them.
These rumors of anti foreign feeling
Ire not well founded. Sensible men
advise boycOtters and agitators to be
reasonable and only to boycott goods
and not to treat persons unkindly but
% continue their friendship as be-
'ore.
Unfortunately, disturbances in sew |
eral places are now arising from the
boycott, but this is no hign of an out |
break against foreigneds.''

Jabs the Railroads.

Jabs the Railroads.
Here the governor gives a few para
graphs to the fight the railroads are
making against government regulation
and declares the railroads must be ex
PEELED from politics, and the right TO
give free passes to public officials and
delegates be abolished. He continues:
1.-The interference of the corporations
in the nomination and election of can
didates for office presents the funda-
mental issue at this time have taken
a stand on it, and during the four years
in which 1 have been governor 1 have
taxed my strength to the very limit in
checking the advance of corporate am
btion and avarice.
"A majority of the republicans of
Iowa believe that the principles that l
have attempted to define are essential
TO good government, and that the issue
l have suggested must be settled and
settled right, no matter how long the
struggle may be.
For months past the republicans
from all parts of the state have been
insisting that it is my duty to stand
for denomination. They cannot be con-
WINGED that they are On the right side
when they stand shoulder to shoulder
with Mr.. Blythe and his associates.
They feel safer when they know that
they are not suppirting this manager
of railway politics. They have made
it clear to me that 1 am not free to
follow my inclination, that my task is
not yet finished and that 1 can serve
the common welfare more effectually
ity r..
Il have yielded to these solicitations
and demands, not because l want an
office. but because there are thousands
of republicans who insist that render
the state and the country some further
service, and because it would be cow
ardly to abandon the field while the
fight is in progress"
The letter closes with a declaration of
belief in the principles and doctrines
of the republican party. No reference
is made to the tariff. other than to
say his views on this subject are we'll
known.

White, although but 10 years of age.
was considered by the Seattle officers
as a dangerous criminal, and several
holdups and thieving crimes were
traced to him after his arrest for killing
Murphy His criminal instincts, 1t is
said. were developed early, and much
of his life was spent around saloons
and in the company of vicious char
acters Whites father was a drunk
ard and his mother died back in Michl-
gan of a broken heart as a result OF
drunken abuse heaped on her by her
husband. White was left to shift for
himself when a mere lad and he lacked
the environment that might have made
a better man of him.

Governor Of Iowa Announces His
Candidacy for Reelection.
He JABs THE RAILROAD COMPANIES
ANNOUNCES TO REPUBLICANS
THAT HE DESIRES ANOTHER
TERM AS GOVERNOR.

DIES MONIES, Mar. 1.-Governor A.
B. Cummins has issued statement
of the platform on which he will ask
a third term. 1t is contained in the fol-
lowing letter to the republicans of
Iowa:
You have twice honored me with
the office of governor In asking a
third nomination it is due to you that
l shall state with the utmost frankness
the reasons for my candidacy.
THE effort on the part of our govern
ments, national and state, to curb the
growing power, abolish the evil prac-
tees and regulate the management Of
corporations has created the most vital
issue since the civil war 1t has been
established by abundant experience
that if railway companies are permitted
so to do, they will consolidate to de-
stroy competition. They will use I'M
limited quantities of stocks and bonds
simply to make the people pay divi-
dends and interest upon them; they
will charge excessive rates; they will
give rebates to favored shippers and
unjustly discriminate between localities
and kinds of traffic. 1t is likewise
known that if industrial and manufac-
turing concerns be let alone they will
form monopoles, restrain trade, ruin
rivals and inf1ict the most grievOus in
justice upon the unprotected public.
