Horse Not Being Displaced

In spite of the rapid increase in
the number of automobiles and trolley
hold his own. According to figures
published in the last report Of the de-
partment of agriculture, the number
of horses in the Uniter States in
creased from 13,5S7,OOO in 1900 to
1892 900 in 1908, the total value 5i
/ the same having risen from 5000. 600
900 to $1,S67,000. The fluctuations
in the average price of horses have
been remarkable. In 1893 It was SCI;
in 1897, $37; $44 in 1900. and sos in
1908.

BY far the most important scholas-
tic debating contest ever held in PEN
dleton will occur next Thursday
night 1t will be the seml-finals in
the race for the championship and
Newberg high school, champion Of
the Columbia river district, will be
Pendleton's opponent
Te local debaters have already de-
feated La Grande, sherman county
and Baker high schools, making them
champions of the eastern Oregon DIS
trlct They are again to- debate the
ship subsidy question on which they
have already won two of their three
victories. and they are again to han
die the negative side of the question.
II would therefore, seem that the
chance for another victory is good. In
ease of success the PendletJn spielers
will meet the champions of the south
ern Oregon district for the cham
pionship of the state and Pendleton's
reputation as a school town win be
heralded broadcast.
AS the expense OF bringing the
Newberg team and the judges to
Pendleton will amount to about $500,
and as Pendleton people have shown
81 lack of interest in. debates in the
past, the management of the contest
is making heroic efforts to interest
every patriotic resident of the city in
the matter, and not only interest
them, but persuade them to buy
tickets. The price of the tickets. fif-
ty cents, is within the reach of all.
and it will be necessary to sell 400
Of these to make expenses. As this is
about twice as many as have attended
any single debate in the past, 1t would
seem that the activity of the high
school boys is justifiable.
Thursday night IS the time and the
Methodist church is the place.
