White Salmon Man Disappears.

A White Salmon dispatch to the Ore.
gOnian says that no trace has been
found Of Charles Frck. who disap-
peared from his five-acre tract three
miles up the White Salmon three
weeks ago.
Frick feared that someone would
steal his place and was perturbed
when visitors walked on his land to see
the NarroWs, one of the picturesque
spots of the Valley. From the Under
wood station, three miles away, he
wheeled out all his goods in a barrow
and picked out the little piece of land
that no one else wanted He hand
picked it for stones, did his own
grubbing, and had several one-year-old
trees out.
The Pacific Power & Light Company
men came along and asked him for
right-of-way, telling HIM they were
willing to pay literally for his acre
age. AS soon as the right of way men
left Frick dropped his grbubing-hook
locked the cabin door and fled, evident
ly believing that by keeping out of
sight he will not have to give up his
land
Frick lost 500 recently, all the
money he had. Loss of his purse
preyed on his mind and may have led
to arrangement and his strange dis
appearance.

carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press: are published as
facts, people become sktpticaI. On
one subject skeptcism is raridly

experience Of our citizens and their
public utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the

can see every day, leaves no ground
for the skcptic to stand on.

LOCAL DEBATERS
DISTRICT CHAMPIONS

By unanimous decision here last
Friday night in the debate with theil
old opponents, the team from Newberg,
that of the local high school won the
championship of the Columbia River
district Of the State High School De-
batting League. The question on which
the contestants centered their skill
was, Resolved, That the Chinese Ex-
clusion Act Should Be Extended to All
Asiatic Peoples Newberg upheld the
| affirmative and was represented by
Misses Lillian Reuter-, Bernice King
and Gladys TraW. Miss Viola Nickel
sen, Lester Murphy, and Earle Spauld-
ing, yictOrs of past argumentatiye en-
counters again won laurels for them
selves and areputation for Hood River.
In speaking of the debate Principal
j. o. Mclaughlin said: 1T was very
close. The contestants Of both sides
had excellent delivery, but Hood River
eXcelled in the argument presented and
IN the arrangement Of it. Howevers
X. II. Caine, president Of the White
Salmon schools and one of the Judges
was Of the opinin that Hood River had
eXcelled at every point. Miss Reuter-
was very good, " he said, but New
berg's other two representatives in no
way equaled any Of the local speak
ers. "
The Newberg speakers took the view
that this country had no need for
Aslatlc laborers. They made an effort
to prove that a great number tf them
were of a criminal tendency and were
grossly immoral; and dwelt strongly |
on the necessity of an impossible and |
repugnant assimilation as conse-
quence Of an emigration from the far
East. Hood River, however, rebutted |
the point that the labor was unneCes-
5ary and maintained that a race ques-
ton was not imminent because of the
transltory residence of the laborers
as to the money sent out OF this
country to their homes, it was stated,
that the wealth created by them more
han offset it. Furthermore the local
iebators showed that such an exclusion
act would violate the spirit of treaties
with Eastern nations and would be
contrary to the United States Consti-
ution.
For the purposes of the debating
aague the state is divided into five
districts. Mr.. Mclaughlin states that
hood Rivers next opponent will prob
Ibly be the winning team of the East
rn Oregon district. The date, place
nd subject for the debate will be an
Ounced later.

SUGAR coMPANYs OFFER.

The proposition made by Mr.. Bran
we'll for the sugar company to ad-
vance money to proved sober and in
dustrious men to buy irrigated tracts
is not only Of great Importance to
such men, but of great importance
o this city and the entire valley.
There is no doubt Wallowa valley
is too rich in soil and water is too
abundant to be used only for grain
raising. More intensive forms of ag
riculture and dairying are the natur-
al uses to which the land in this
valley should be put, because more
profitable.
When the Land in this valley, from
upper Prairie Creek to Lower Valley,
is put to ITS highest and most profit
able use, ten families will make their
living off it where one family does
so now.
Whether sugar beet culture is one
Of the highest and best uses for the
land is a question that should be
carefully and thoroughly investigat-
ed. Experience so far has been favor
able. or else the sugar company
would not be willing to make the
investments 1t proposes, and farm
ero who have leased land for sugar
beet culture would not be willing to
renew leases.
This proposition If fully carried
out would mean several times as
many people living near each town
in the valley and is therefore of
great Importance to the towns.

REFORM OF COURTS.

Nine-tenths of the palayer about
reform of courts is twaddle, and is
made by those interested in no re-
orm. The usual remedy proposed
more judges, more courts, more
cost, more excuses for appeal, more
delay, more buncomb.
All men know that compared to
England and English colonies the ad-
ninistratlon of law in the United
States is farce and crime. The
hardest thing for an American to
bear when travelling in English lands

ure made of law administration in

TO bear because we know 1t is true.
Even the Canucks look upon our
courts as being on a par, or even
lower than those of Mexico or
South America
Why make more judges and courts?
There are so many now that lawyer
legislators are kept busy finding
york for them to do, by devising
new excuses for appeal, delays, more
echnical procedure, etc.
One of the common remarks Of
ten heard during trials in circuit
courts is, "It doesn't matter which
way it goes here; it will go up to
the supreme court anyway" The
ause of such remarks is a crime
against taxpayers. If the case is ''go
ing up anyway" why not start it at
the top and be done with it in one

If true reform of law administra-
ton is desired, copy a little after

cred supreme court, sitting in lux

And FINALLY disposed of, mind
nou There is no appeal or review
except because of new evidence or
;omething equally vital.
Judges, corresponding to our "su-
1reme" Judges, hustle over England,
% or II months of the year, going
every court town, hearing and de-
iding on the spot the cases Of larg-
II importance. And again there is
10 appeal or review except for gray
st of reasons, such as new evidence.
There are no lawyer delays, for the
mere purpose of delay. The case is
called and both sides must be ready
or take the consequences. The issue
is joined in the simplest, most speedy
manner Pleadings are made to ar

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

The county big n school is having a
very prosperous year. The enroll
ment is pushing the ninety mark, ov-
er one-half OF whom are from out
side the Enterprise district. Every
part of the county is represented.
The scholarship is excellent and
splendid progress is being made
along all lines.
We believe the next step the coun-
ty school board ought to take should
be to eQualize the expense of attend
ance between students in this dis
trict, who can live at home, and
those from outside districts who are
compelled to board. A dormitory
with kitchen and dining hall, where
a boarding club could be run with
small expense, would do that, the
outside students getting free use of
building and utensils, but sharing
pro rata the cost of food and its
preparation.
This Is similar to the proposal

THE CUSTOM OF CALLING.

The interest taken by the women
Of today in athletics, in the world,
in the affairs OF public tenor. has
brought about at least one welcome
social change--the abolition of the
social call.

is reckoned as SO much wasted time
by the busy women Of society.
This gradual disappearance of the
calling custom does not mean con-
sequent damper upon social activity.
What 1t does signify is more sin
cere and more natural phase OF
sOciability. Today woman rings
up a friend she wishes to see on the
telephone and arranges for a friend
ly little visit The stif rose and
gilt OF the front parlor have yielded
to the coy depth Of the living room

sation of the reception room to the

leader from which continued alb
sence spelled social oblivion. Many
a heartache originated in these draw
ing rooms of the dictator, where cuts
were dealt right and left and the
arrows sent out by sarcastic or
satirical tongue caused a sting which
lasted for weeks. A wise of stiff
silk, burning patent feathers and
other insignia of correct dress are
not conducive of kindness and good
cheer, especially on warm day.
For these very obvious reasons We
hail with joy the passing of an era
of silly formality, fastening to well
come in its stead the custom of "just
dropping in for a chat" or an after
noon visit.
