HIGH DEFEATS
TILLAMO0K TEAM
JUDGES GIVE UNANIMOUS DE-
CISION AFTER DEBATE
LAST NIGHT

The interscholastic debate between
the Astoria and TiIlamook High
Schools In the Astoria theatre last
night ended In victory for the Az
toria team.
The decision as announced by the
judges, Rev w. S. Gilbert, John H.
Whytc and Gustaf Hemple. was
unanimous, and that 1t met with the
entire approval Of the audience was
manifest BY the quick applause that
followed and the many expressions In
regard TO the matter heard from indi-
viduals, While the three judges we're
all Astorians, that very fact probably
made them all the more careful In
rendering a verdict in favor OF their
own city, and presumably none will
question in the least that they allowed
their natural local pride to influence
them in the least in giving the de-
cision.
After the debate the visiting de-
baters and a large crowd Of the AS
loria High School students, including
the local team, Of course, wenEto the
III. O, O. r hall to sit down to the
repast that had been set forth there,
The theatre was well filed, there
being perhaps an audience Of upwards
OF 400 present. They listened to the
debate with interest and many appar-
emily paid a keen interest in the
points as they were made and driven
home by the various contestants.
For Astoria the three debaters
were Mary Kelley, Alex Sigurdson
and Lawrence Dineen. For Tillamook
they were Eliza Dawson, Helen Biby
and Nellie Hannenkratt. The subject
was the ownership by municipalities
Of all public utilities, and Astoria
High had the affirmative. Both sides
seemed to have the subject matter
well in hand, and though il had been
feared that the local debaters might
not be as well prepared in the momor-
izing and handling OF the subject
matter as their opponents, many APP
parently thought they were even bet
ter prepared than the Tillamookers.
The judges evidently thought that the
local debaters had the best Of il all
around, and they had no hesitation in
arriving at their verdict.
Upon the whole the debaters were
very good. While it Is but natural
that there is more drag" to a debate
of this kind than to bright and live
" play, nevertheless the contest last
night was sufficiently wideawake and
lively to keep everyone interested and
on the qui vive,
After the debate was over and de-
cision announced the students cheered
their victorious team and then also
cheered the visitors from Tillamook,
and as the crowd of students wended
their way TO the banquet hall their
progress was market by constant
cheering in honor Of the High School
victory,

ures compiled, showing that the ave.
rage price secured for beef by the
stOckmen is six cents pound, while
the average price the dairyman Sc
cures for his butter fat is twenty
seven cents per pound. Further, it
costs just as much to produce the
pound Of beef as it does the pound OF
butter fat, and when this fact is re-
allied by the new settler, he is not
going to devote his attention to beef
animals but to dairy animals.
after all lands susceptible to irri-
CATION and all adopted to dry farming
are settled upon, thousands of acres
will remain which will be only fit for
range purposes. The range will not
be one unbroken expanse, but will be
segregated by innumerable ranches
which will make it impossible for a
single individual to run large herds
of cattle. This will exert a tendency
toward the dairying rather than the
beef business.
1.-The Montana farmers are waking
up at last. We have gone into the
heart of the condensed milk country,
where despite the fact that thousands
of cattle grazing OH the ranges, never
an animal was MIXED, and the stock
man USED the condensed article pur-
chased at the country store.
'The dairying business has proved
most profitable to those interested in
it, wherever the business has been
conducted OH anything like large
scale, and the states Of Michigan and
Wisconsin are examples of what
dairying will do. Fifteen years ago
the farming communities were in
bad way. Then a few farmers pur-
chased dairy stock and grazed their
herds in the cut-over timber districts.
Creameries were established and the
dairymen made money. Others en-
gagged in business, more creameries
were established, scientific methods
were adapted, and today you can no
where find more prosperous and
contented class Of people than the
dairymen of these two states. The
possibilities in Montana are far
greater and they are fast being real

that I am crazy" continued Mr..
Ingram. "But that is what was said
when the first settler came and plant

other garden stuff, and finally fruit
trees.
"But there is sound economic rea-
