PARK PLACE TIES
II. R. IN DEBATING

The Hood River High School de-
baters went to Parkplaoe Saturday
night and lost to the students there
by judges vote OF two to one and as
that is the same score by which the
local students won the week before In
the debate here, the Two schools are
now tied for f0rsenic honors. Just
how the tie will be decided is a ques-
tion and Proi. b. E. Coad, OF the 10.
cal schools, says that W. W. Wiley, OF
the Newberg schools, is the director
for his district and 1t will be up to
him to lind way OF deciding the
affair, The question for debate Sat
urday night was the same one used
here q week previous and Olga Han
sen, Fay French and Leland Hen
drioks again represented the Park
place, supporting the affirmative.
The negative of the proposition that
life Imprisonment, with restricted
power OF pardon, should be- subeti.
tuted for capital punishment in Ore.
gon was upheld by Herbert Phillips,
Burten Jayne aud Earl Spaulding Of
the local high school. Plof. Coad
says that the audience WAS convinced
by the Hood River students, but the
judges, who we o inexperienced, were
probably moved to their conclusions
a good deal by their personal beliefs
on the subject.

WATER BONDS GO
AT GOOD PREMIUM
100000 ISSUE BRINGS $OO,726
Municipal Securities Bring Coed Money
lu Spite of Poor Market For Five
Per Cent Bonds.

Tuesday the city council accepted
the best bid on the municipal bond
issue of 800, 900 for city water sys.
tenn and awarded the handling of the
securities to John Nuveen & Com
pBny, bankers, of Chicago, who will
pay a premium Of S726 for the paper.
There we're five bids sent in for the
issue but the bid of $50, 800 by A. }.
Hood Il Company, OF Detroit, was
rejected because they failed to accom-
pany their offer with certified check
for vi 600 as was required by the ad-
vsrtissment The other bids from
eastern houses we're within $500 of
one another while the bid of Morris
Brothers, OF Portland was only SS5. 90l
showing the difference in the value
OF five per cent securities marketed
on the coast and In the east. s. A.
Kean Il Company, Of Chicago, bid
$50. 45o and the Central Savings Bank
i Trust Company, of Denver, offered
800, 800.
The company which got the bonds
agreed to furnish lithorgaphed blank
bonds for the issue. The bonds will
be In denominations of 81, 900 dated
February Is, 1910, and will run for
70 years drawing five per cent in
terest payable semi.annuully.
The sale Of the bonds for a premium
is regarded as extremely fortunate by
persons familiar with the finanoi ial
conditions az the recent flooding of
the bond market with large issues of
six percent irrigation bonds has made
the sale of securities paying lower
rate Of interest rather slow.
John Il. Ulen, of indianapolis, re-
presenting the American Light &
Water Company, a constr uotion firm,
Of Kansas City, was here when the
bonds we're sold and he expressed
great surprise that they should have
gone so we'll as recently similar
issues have been turned down In Ore

Mr.. UIen's company recently put IN
a big water system, which included
