over Miss Wilett and Mr.. Simpson. Ef-
fectlve argument was offered by both
teams and we'll presented and had the
Coltax debaters been a trHe stronger on
rebuttal the decision wouId nrobehIv
nave been harder. As it was, the stu
dents of the University Of Puget Sound
awaited the judges decision with much
anxiety and suspense. Along with the
cheering and applause over the final re-
suits three rOusing cheers were given for
the COlfax debaters.
Miss Ryan opened the debate for the
affirmative. Miss Ryan is most ef-
fective speaker, with delightfully."- easy de-
livery and splendid full, clear voice. Her
argument showed careful preparation
and intelligent study OF the subject of de-
bate. She quoted various authorities
and pointed out instances where the ini-
tlatlve and referendum in the Oregon
constitution had proved a benefit to the
people OF the state and declared it did
away with corruption and boss rule.
Miss Ryan was followed by Ralph
Simpson, who presented telling argument
against the initiative and referendum
and the evils which the system creates.
He advanced authorities and instances
to prove the system a radical one and a
mere experiment, which had not been
successfully tested by any of the states
in which it is effective
Walter Strickler for the affirmative, is
an eloquent orator and has easy, conf
dent delivery. He contended that the
initiative and referendum is the most eff
fective opposition the corporate interests
had ever had to fight and that it is
death to lobbyists and corrupt legisla-
tors. He said that while the Washing
ton legislators could not be considered
a corrupt set it is true that no legislative
body is perfect and without it's graiters
Miss Willett, for the negative, present
ed probably the most effective argument
OF the evening. Her points were well es-
tablished and her argument was remark
able Tor unity. She defined each point
clearly and clinched her contentious in
telIectually. Miss Willett's delivery was
easy and natural.
In rebuttal Mr.. Simpson made telling
points for the negative. Mr.. Strickler
presented the rebuttal for the affirma-
tive.
Following the debate a banquet was
served on the lower floor of the assembly
hall and the visiting teams and friends
OF the students were guests. number
of clever imprOmptu addresses were Civ
en-. Among the schools represented at
the debate last evening were Auburn,

ART OF FRUIT RAISING
Spokane & Inland Fruit Special
as Seen in COIfax.
Addresses by Professors Smith
Thornber and Meianger--Fine
Display of All Products.

The Spokane & Inland ectric Rail-
way fruit special reached Colfax last week
as The Gazette was going to press, hence
we could not enlarge on the proceedings
which took place in the court house The
weather was inclement, however, which
kept many from attending. The
audience was composed mostly Of fruit
growers, who took deep interest in all
that was said.
Prof. C. L. Smith, formerly of the State
College, but now an Orchardist Of Moran
prairie, lectured on How to Make the
Orchard Pay" He said in part:
Ten acres of orchard will earn as
much as 120 acres of wheat land, and
that there is a growing demand for or
chard products which exceed the output,
and fabulous prices are being paid for
the same.
TO hold moisture by good cultiva-
tion is Of vast Importance This being
done, fine fruit can be raised in the In
land Empire. Don't trust to luck, but
follow successful Orchardists. Box the
kind the market calls for, and never put
two sizes or colors in the same box. Be
honest in your packing, so your brand
will be a guarantee and an established
reputation will increase the value OF your
production % per cent"
Prof. W. S. ThOrnber talked on How
to Make the Orchard Bear" He said
Make conditions right by starting
where the orchardists start. Begin with
good varieties and get trees that are in
the habit of bearing"
How to Save the Apple Orchard 2
was discussed by Prof A. L. Melander.

TACOMA WINS DEBATE
The University of Puget Sound
Team Gets HOnOrs.
Coifax High School Team Spoken
OF in Praise by Tacoma Papers
Live to Fight Another Day.

The COlfax High School debating team
met the University Of Puget Sound in
Tacoma last Friday night, and. although
the decision was against them two
to one In the debate, they none the less
came out with cOlors flying and we're
treated in royal fashion. The Tacoma
Ledger OF Saturday morning devotes
considerable space to the debate, from
which we excerpt literally:
BY defeating the Colfax High school
last night, the University of Puget Sound
Academy won its fourth victory in the
annual state interschOlastic debate. The
decision OF the judges favored the u p.
,. team two to one in last nights debate
The question debated was: "Resolved,
That Washington should adopt the ini
tiative and referendum as contained in
the constitution OF the state Of Oregon"
The University of Puget Sound was
represented by Miss Helena Wilett and
Ralph Simpson, with the negative of the
question; the Colfax High school by Miss
Katherine Ryan and Walter Strickler,
presenting the affirmative. The debate
was held in the chapel of the university
and was largely attended.
OF the 40 schools entering in the
debate at the beginning of the school
year there remain now but three contest
ants for final honOrs. These are the
University Of Puget Sound, Spokane
High school and Mount Vernon High
school. The Mount Vernon High school
last night defeated the Seattle seminary
at Seattle by unanimous decision. The
University of Puget Sound has defeated
the Tacoma High school and also the
High schools of Vancouver and Olympia.
On the present question Spokane had
the bye and escaped the contest.
CoIfax Team Is Formidable.
In last nights debate the Colfax High
school presented formidable debating
team. Both Miss Ryan and Mr.. Strick-
Ter had the advantage of the delivery

Waldo G. Paine, general passenger
agent, and John S. Hughes, secretary of
the Spokane Apple Show, made brief ad
dresses.
From here the train went to Steptoe,
Thornton, Rosalia, Spring Valley, Fair
banks, Oakesdale, Garfield and PalOuse,
the largest meeting being held at Gar
field
General Passenger Agent Paine was in
his private car, which was also occupied
by the speakers and guests, and the fruit
exhibit in other cars was what might be
expected-ne plus ultra.
The trip, OF course, was not completed
until Saturday night, when Coeur d'Alene
was reached, where a large aesemblage
gathered and the usual addresses
delivered.
Much good is expected to flow from
this school on wheels" We live in a
great fruit country. 1t is doubtful if it
has an equal anywhere as an apple pro
ducer-this as regards quality and guam
tity. The industry is growing, and how
TO raise, care for and ship fruit are mat
ters OF prime Importance to learn.

McNabb having shown himself to be a
graceless scamp the authorities thought
he should have a taste of the law. Ac.
cordingly a complaint was filed charging
wife desertion. 1t was revealed that
he was at the ancestral home in Harri-
man, RhOne county, East Tennessee, his
father and mother, sister and other
relatives living there and known as
highly respectable people. Armed with
requisition papers Deputy Sheriff Daley
was delegated to bring McNabb back to
Washington. And now comes a strange
story in connection with this affair.

Eo Got tha Prize.

At church function each person was required to wear conspicuously upon his or her clothing some pictorial or other device that should represent in "rebus" form the title of any well known book, and all the others were to guess at the book intended.
 Paradise Lost,' represented by a card upon which five dice had been pasted, and from which two had evi- dently dropped or been removed, was easily guessed Hard Times" was no puzzle. Neither was it hard to recog- nize "A Pair of Blue Eyes," "Innocents Abroad" Vanity Fair' nor Uncle Toms Cabin in spite of the pictorial disguises.
 One of the guests, however, had a ,poser. Attached to one of the buttons \f his coat was a card bearing simply t g inscription, Ter"
 Every one at last gave 1t up and asked for the solution.
 Why, that's easy" he said. ''It means A Tale of Two Cities Man chester and Leicester. Last syllables --tail, in fact-of both. See?"
 That's not fairw said the others. "Its the last syllable of Chester. Lan- caster, Gloucester. Chichester and Ex- eter We protest.'
 '.well,'' he said. T won't insist. Try this one."
 He turned the card over. It was in scrlbed on the other side with these three letters, Ans"
 After severe mental struggle every. body gave this up also.
 That ought not to puzzle you" he said. "It's The Last of the Mohi. ans.'"
 He got the prize.
