WRITE IN SECRET.
The Way Chinese Court Historians Do
Their Work.

Their Work.
There are court historians in China,
as there are In other countries, but
there is one striking difference, and it
lies In the fact that the work of the
Chinese court historians does not see
the light until the reigning dynasty
comes to an end.
In this way these Celestial historians
have an opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
valorous rulers and the real signiti-
canoe of the events which take place
during their regime. They can write
what they please without fear of cen
sure, for they know that their work
Will not be published as long as the
reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years, the first court historian
having been appointed by the impe-
rial house of Han. which reigned from
206 B. c. until % A. D.
The duty of these historians is to
write plain accounts Of all the events
that occur during their tenure of of
flea At regular intervals their com
peted work is taken from them and Is
locked up in an iron safe or vault
There it remains until the first mem
Der of new dynasty ascends the
throne.
1t is then given with all the other
histories in the vault to the court
historian. who is then living, and from
the mass Of documents he is expected
to prepare 4 truthful history Of the
dynasty which has just expired.

OLD CROP ALL SOLO
REVIEW OF WALLA
WALLA CROP CONDITION
Last Big Holding of Old Wheat Sold
Last Week--Sale Called for 10000
Bushels at 80 Cents-Acreago for
the Year About Same as Last Year
Sucks VIII BE Cheaper.

The Walla Walla Statesman pubs
fishes the following review of the
wheat market, crop outlook and gen.
era conditions in that city and coun-
ty:
Practically all of the old crop of
wheat has been sold and the ware
houses are empty and ready for the
crop Of this year, says the Statesman.
With the sale of 10000 bushels of
wheat by w. p. Reser a few days ago
the last big sale of the season was
consummated and there are but few
scattering lots left in the houses
through the valley.
The price paid. for Mr.. Reaser's
wheat, 80 cents, was about the top
of the market for last years crop and
there is no doubt that IL this price
is sustained 1t will rid the store hous-
es of the last sack.
Last years crop, while large, was
well handled and the car shortage
was not nearly so noticeable as was
that of the year before, Prices fluc-
tuated greatly and the sales were run
i'm punches accordingly.
J Nearly all the farmers held for so
cents, but the price was so long COM
ing that not all secured It, Indica-
tions for a good price on the new
crop are good, according to wheat
buyers in the city.
Grain dealers are now getting ready
to handle the sack trade during the
weeks just preceding the harvest.
While in some places the farmers
unions have combined and bought
their sacks in large quantities, not
enough have been secured in this
manner to appreciably affect the To-
cal market.
Penitentiary sacks are to be cheap
er and sacks shipped in from the
coast will be. also, on account of the
new freight rate made by the rail-
roads this year.
Indications for a big wheat crop
this year are good, in fact, they never
have been much better and with the
promised moisture in the near future
there will be crop that will rival
even that of last year. Farmers and
dealers are making all preparations
for a big yield and there is little
doubt that this will be realized.
The acreage is practically the same
as that of last year. the amount of
summer following being just about
the same. Grain is not quite as far
advanced as it was at this time last
year. as the spring has been colder
and not quite so wet. On Eureka flat
the grain is in fine condition and in
the Walla Walla valley proper. not
withstanding the reports to the con-
trary grain conditions are good.

Astoria Defeated i'm Final Contest for

Question of Proportional Represen-
cation Discussed-Series of State
Debaters Closed After a Most Sue
cessful Season.

Pendleton high school students will
be interested in the following account
of the high school league debate in
which the Lebanon team defeated
Astoria and thus became the cham
pion high school debaters of the
state. The oregon Daily Journals
Eugene correspondent says:
Lebanon won the state interschol-
astic championship last night in the
debate with Astoria by vote of two
to one. The judges were w. W. Cot
ton Of Portland, Senator I. H. Bing-
ham Of Eugene and A. n. Prescott of
Salem
The question was. Resolved, That
members of the legislature of the
state Of Oregon should be chosen by
a system of proportional represen-
tation."
Lebanon supported the negative,
and the work Of the Linn county rep
resentatives showed great construc-
tive ability. The Astoria team,
though they put up an excellent ar
gument, were unable to break down
LebanOn's strong attack
Synopsis of Arguments.
Lebanon's argument was based on
the grounds that proportional repre-
sentation had never proved success
full in any large country; that the
rule; that few matters Of a political
nature ever come before the legis-
lature; that there would be lack OF
party responsibility; that there would
be more corruption, and that politics
would become too local in character.
Astoria cOntended that all political
parties should be represented; that
the system of proportional representa-
tiOn is simple and just; that 1t would
give members Of the minority parties
a chance to be heard; that the repub-
lican party controls Oregon's legisla-
ture and the democrats are not really
represented, and that often elections
are so close that a few votes will de-
eide either way.
League Proved a Success.
Miss Birdie Wise, the leader of the
Astoria team, was the best speaker,
and showed great ability. The mem
bers Of the teams were:
Astoria-Miss Birdie Wise, closer;
Carl Thomas, Miss Jennie Jeffers.
