RAILROADS ADOPTING
SAFETY APPLIANCES
State Inspector A. w. PerIey Says
Equipment Shows Marked
Improvement.

SEATTLE. Feb. 19.-"Railroads in
the state are showing an earnest de-
sire to comply with the state laws re-
garding safety devices on train equip
ment," said A. w. Perley, state in
spector of tracks and safety applian-
ces. 'While all of the roads in recent
months have made reductions in their
forces of employees they have not laid
off the men whose duty it is to oper-
ate safety appliances.
Equipment in the state is in bet
ter shape than ever before. When the
law first went into effect it was no un-
common thing for me on inspecting a
round house containing so or 35 en-
gines to find 20 or more lacking some
thing required by law. Now it is hard
to find anything wrong. The tracks
also are improved. For months the
Great Northern has been employing on
an average 500 men on track work or
800 miles of track in the state. The
Great Northern roadbed, hence, is in
better shape than it has been before in
10 years"

standing he sits in a corner of the cell,
facing a blank wall, and for hours
keeps his eyes fixed on the wall He

a word to his cell mate. Dickson says
that for 40 hours he has been afraid to
sleep.

WHITMAN DEBATES
WILLAMETTE
FRIDAY EVENINGS CONTEST ONE
OF IMPORTANCE TO LA
BORING MEN.

One of the greatest labor problems
of the day will be discussed at Whit
man college chapel on Friday evening
when Whitman college and Willamette
university thrash out the Japanese
migration question. The question is
stated, Resolved: That the United
States Should Continue to Admit the
Japanese on the Same Basis as Eu-
ropean Immigrants" Whitman has
the affirmative and Willamette the ne
gative side of the question.
This debate will be one of three
which take place on the same evening
with the same question in contention.
Whitman meets Willamette in Walla
Wala and Pacific university in Forest
Grove. while Willamette and Pacific
meet in Salem
Whitman has met Pacific three times
in debate and has beaten her each time.
but in the one debate which Whitman
has had with Willamette the local team
was defeated, SO the contest in the
chapel on Friday evening will be un-
usually hard fought by the local coll
lege boys.
The students who will uphold the
affirmative side of the question for
Whitman are Calvin Crumbaker, Les
ter Livengood and Frank Fletcher OF
the freshman, senior and junior
classes respectively. While none of the
boys have ever represented Whitman
in an intercollegiate debate before they
are all men of experience gained either
in high school or in the college debat-
ing societies. Whitman has confidence
in them and believes that they will win
the victory. Fletcher is leader of the
team and will do the rebuttal work.
The Willamette debaters are WAL
lace G. Trill, Neil Zimmerman, and
George Neuner, all jebaters of high
rank in their institution. Zimmerman
VIII do the rebuttal work for his team.
The attention of laboring men is es-
pecially called to this debate since the
japanese question is one of momen-
tous Importance among the laboring
classes. The opportunity to hear both
