DEFEATED LAKE CRYSTAL.
Minneapolis Central Hi~h School
DoWned the Village Debaters.

| Minneapolis, March 5.-I.ake Crystal:
debating team went down before The
| Central high debaters Saturday night il
contest held in the east high schoo
auditorium. The judges made the awaf,
! for the affirmative. two to one. Thi,
victory enters the Central high in The
semi finals of the State High School De
batting league.
Central was represented by Bessie
Hull, Ruth Bridges and Theodore Thorn
son, Lake Crystal was represented by
Arthur Goldenstar, Clara Radichel and
Alvin Gutterson, j. NJ. Guise, superin-
tendent of schools at Lake Crystal, was
timekeeper. The judges were Judge G.
b. Elliott of the state supreme conrt
President w. A. Shoemaker of the ST.
Cloud normal school and A. w. Rankin
state superintendent of public schools.
Professor Maria Sanford of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota presided.
The Central High Glee club, headed
by j. Austin Williams, sang several Sc
lections. Twelve team supporters from
Lake Crystal We're present.
The question was: "ResOlved, That
all elective state, district, county and
city officers should be nominated by di-
rect primaries held under state regrla-
ton, rather than by delegate -conven-
TONS" .f
The affirmative held that there was
no reason why the city and state officers
should be nominated by a different sys-
TEN. Ii. the people can select men to
make laws, they are capable of select
ing those who are to execute them. The
direct system has the advantages of a
secret Australian ballot; it brings the
people into direct touch with the candi-
dates; it makes the candidates twice re-
sponsible to the people; it brings out a
vast attendance at the polls; it sep
arates local and federal elections and is
uses.
The negative professed to stand for a
reform of the present caucus and tn"
elimination of its abuses. 1t held that
the direct system fails in remedyinS the
evils of bad city government; it de
stroys the efficiency of organization OF
state parties, eliminating the advantage
of convention conference; it is unconsti-
tutional in declaring certain voters !;
that rational reform lies along the dimes
of the present system.
In the rebuttal the affirmative was un-
usually skilful and undoubtedly won
votes i'm the finals by its eX-
cellent REPUTATION of the arguments
advanced by the negative.
Nearly all the speakers talked fast
and some good points made by the see
ond district team were given at such
high speed as to be almost uninteIllS-
ibIe. The debate was well handled asa
whole and was well worth the aoteEtion
OF the extraordinarily large audience,
considering the storm that ragged ont
side.

He Gets Off Easy.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Martin Rotus, who was arrested Sat
uriay on the charge of disorderly con-
duct, preferred by his wife, was taken
before Justice Whitcomb in the after
noon and entered plea of guilty, and
was fined SO and costs, wsich he paid.
1t appeared that short time ago he
bought a team of horses, and that dur
ing his absence of few days from
home his wife arranged to have the
horses sold. When he got home and
found the team gone he tried to brighten
his wife into telling him where the
horses were The court therefore took
a lenient view of the matter and let
him off lightly.
Rotus said some unpleasant things
about his wife after his arrest, and II
appears that their relations are not
ideal.

OVER BIG NEW MEXICO CAMP

C. T. McElroy an attorney of Mil
waukee, wis, and w. p. Cook of
Oconto, wis, who are the owners
Of the Copper George group of mines
at Santa Rita, were in the city last
night on their way to that camp. They
have recently put in a concentrator
and a big plant of machinery and will
ship their concentrates to the Conan
che smelter at Silver City. They ex-
pect to make heavy shipments of ore
and concentrates in the future.
Santa Rita is the Oldest and great
est producer of native copper in the
United States today" said Mr. Nc
Ilroy at the Alvarado last night "The
camp was worked by the Spaniards
originally, who shipped the copper to
El Paso on burros. John d. Rookie
feler owns 102 copper claims at Santa
Rita and his property produces a car
Of native copper daily, which is worth
about $4,000.
I'VE own twelve claims which are
between the Rockefeller and Phelps

syndicate has been shipping all of its
copper ore to Douglas, but viii i'm the
future shin to the Comanche smelter
at Silver city as they have agreed TO
pay that smeter the New York mar
ket price for all of its copper matte,
which is good thing for both
parties
Both of the visitors are of the opin-
ion that New Mexico is destined to be-
come a great mining territory in the
near future and claim that al that is
necessary to develop it is capital, men
who have thorough knowledge Of min
ing and sufficient energy and push.
