FORENS|CS ADVANCES
TO THE FOREGROUND
HIGH SCHOOL HAS
SELECTED DEBATING TEAMS
Two Teams Chosen This Year 10 Com
pete for Honors i'm Interscholastic
Association-This Years Material
New But Promising.

Debating Is now one of the leading
features of student activities at the
high school and from this time on il
will probably claim a large share of
the attention of the students. despite
the popularity of basketball Two
teams have been formed and Will be
maintained throughout the debating
season.
one of the teams is to uphold the
affirmative side OF the questions to
be debated. while the other side will
defend the negative. SO far but one
alternative has been selected, but
II is expected that a second alternative
will be named within a few days.
Heretofore the Pendleton school,
like all the others. comprising the
state league, has only put out one team
each year. This year at the annual
meeting of the league officers 1t was
arranged that the leading schools in
the state be represented by two teams.
A number OF other schools in the state
viii also be represented by teams this
year, which heretofore have had no
representation in the league. Among
these are Weston and Athena high
schools.
The debating tournament will be
opened soon after the holidays, ac-
cording to present arrangements.
when the local high school teams will
meet the teams from Weston and
Athena on the same evening.
The six regular debaters who have
been named are Peter Crockett,
James Hartwell, Arthur Jordan, Pan
sy Ireland Harvey Mcpherson and
Chester Fee. Elmer Dahlgren is the
alternate No leader has yet been ar-
pointed for either team.
These are~ all new students in the
realm of debating, but according to
Principal Hampton they are all good,
hard working students and he feols
that the school will be ably represent
ed by them in the coming contests. ~
far they have been showing up eN-
ceedingly we'll for new debaters
1t will be remembered that last year
the team representing the local
school won every contest up until the
last one. losing the state champion
ship for eastern Oregon. THIS year it
is hoped to do as well, though every
member of the team is new. while last
years debaters had had considerable
experience,

Baker Man Finds Herd in Mountains.
Spokane, Wash.-Sportsmen in
Spokane and throughout the north
west will give w. r. Parker of Ba-
ker City, Ore, every support in his
efforts to secure state or federal
protection for a herd of ibex on
Mount Eagle in Oregon. Parker ad
vocates the creation of a preserve on
the mountain SO that the only known
band of ibex on the continent may be
saved from slaughter. He has hunt
ed big game in eastern Oregon for
years and possesses wide knowledge
of The trails and canyons in the noun
tains, and believes that since the
hount of the herd is known to others
the animals ought to be protected to
prevent extinction When he first
announced the presence of the band
in the mountains some of the veteran
hunters asked for proof which was
forthcoming by Parker bringing out
dead buck. doe and fawn. Parker
looks upon the ibeX as big asset in
a sporting way for the entire north
west.

PEARY CONFIRMS COOK.
Former Pole Explorer Says Evidence
of Two Are Identical.

San Jose.-Maurice ConneIl, observ-
er at the United States weather bu-
reau here and member of the Gree
ley North Pole expedition, defends
DR.. Frederick A. Cook from the at
tack made by Walter Wellman Mr..
Connell declared that instead of hav-
ing to take food from Annatok, dis
tance Cf 700 miles to the pole, the
Cook party killed so much game dur
ing the first part of the journey that
when reaching Cape Hubbard, 400
miles from the Pole, they had a
greater quantity of supplies than
when they started from Annatok. The
fact that Cook, three days out from
Cape Hubbard, cut down his party to
two Eskimos and &c picked dogs, ae-
cording to Connell, is further reason
why he could have made better and
unimpeded progress.
'In a country where supplies can
not be replenished." saidConnell the
fewer the men and dogs used the few
cr loads they are to haul"
"Wellman tells us that he could
manufacture a latitude observation
at any time. Certainly that is not
very convincing" adds Connell. But
Cook could not well manufacture
time observation or a longitude OBJ
servation neither could he manufac-
ture magnetic variations and above
all, how could he state whether the
north pole was on land or on sea un-
less he had been there?
"If anything was needed to con-
firm Cooks claim that he reached the
pole in April. 1905, Peary's narrative
of the journey made by himself in
1909 would confirm it. Cook stated
that no land exists at the pole; so
says Peary. Cook stated that the ice
tloes were of larger extent and
smoother as the pole was neared, and
that there were fewer pressure ridges;
SO says Peary. Peary in every detail
confirms Cook, even to the peculiar
color of the ice at the pole"

Amalgamated Copper company. clos

strike of railroad switchmen which
paralyzed traffic throughout this sec
ton. Three thousand men are thrown
out of employment because of the
action of the mine officials.
The inability to secure the trans
portation of ore to smelters at Great
Falls was gwen as the immediate
cause of the mines closing Because
of the resulting ore shortage. the
Great Falls smelters are compelled
also to close, and their 1900 opera
tives are idle today. Freight traffic

Rickard. who is allied with Jack Glea-
son would get the Johnson-J -Jeffries
match, and that he is satisfied, is be-
lieved here to mean but one thing,
that the local promoter Will be in on
the deal. Coffroth went into the af-
fair with his eyes open, and even If
he was outbid, he is bound to have
an ace in the hole. In entering a
combination with Gleason it is safe to
assume that the agreement covered
everything. and that wherever Glea-
son went Coffroth went with him.
There are some who affect to believe
that Coffroth really did not want the
match himself, and that in doubling
up with Gleason he played his trump
card.
1t is understood here that Pro-
moter Coffroth is in a deal with r ck-
ard and Gleason and that the fight
will be held in or near San Francis

big income from moving pictures and
