Bismarck high schools banner
waves in victory over ire Magic City's
colors. for the capital city high school
debating team defeated the Minot high
school team at the Bijou theater Fri
day night The victory Of the Bis
marck students places them in the
semi finals for the silver cup. which
is awarded the winner in the State
High School Debating league by the
Grand Forks Herald.
The Bijou was filled with an appre-
ciative and, considering the numerous
counter cttraations Of the evening, a
large crowd. The stage was taste
fully decorated with innumerable COL
lege and high school pennant and pre-
scented handsome appearance.
Governor Burke Ofticiated as presid-
ing officer of the meeting. Following
the invocation by Rev. Bruce E. Jack
son, the high school glee club sang
the Spring Song. All of the young
ladies were in good voice and their
number was heartily applauded. Fol-
lowing their number, Governor Burke
made a few brief remarks.
The governor stated that the ques-
ton of the evenings debate, that OF
the initiative and referendum, was an
important one for the country, and es-
pecially for North Dakota. He said
that he was glad to see high school
pupils taking such an interest in these
questions of the day. He emphasized
the Importance of debating work, and
said that many noted public speakers
had thus gotten their start in debating
in "the little red school house." and
that 1t was very commendable. The
governor then stated the question to
be considered:
"Resolved, that ire constitution of
North Dakota be so amended as to
provide for initiative and referendum.
cit is, however, understood that the
method of amending shall remain un'
changed.)"
The Bismarck team upheld the affir-
native side of the question. Arnold
Nicholson opened for the local de-
baters. He was at his ease on the
platform and showed thorough
knowledge of the subject. His deliv-
cry was also very good. He was fol-
lowed by William Parsons. Mr.. Par
sons had been suffering from an at
tack of tonsilitis, but did splendidly.
Miss Margaret Jones closed for the
affirmative. She made a very favor

ICE GORGE FORMED
near EXPANSION
ISSUED TO POINTS
UP AND DOWN THE RIVER
FROM THERE.
Water Has Risen Four Feet-Repi.
tition Of Last Years Flood Could
Easily Occur Here.

A telegram was received at the loo.
al office of the weather bureau yester.
day afternoon from the river observr
or at Billings, Mont, stating that the
ice in the Yellowstone river at that
place had just broken up.
The weather bureau also informs
us that WCrd was received by the Ben.
ton Packet Company of Bismarck,
that the ice in the Missouri river near
the site of old Fort Berthold, and
near the present town of Rec, broke
up yesterday, and that the ice had
formed a gorge near the town of Ex-
pansion, causing rise of water in
the river of four feet. Warnings were
issued by the Weather Bureau to
points up and down the river for a
distance of twenty miles each way.
Although the ice in the Missouri riv-
err at Bismarc- IS over twenty inches
thick and very solid, nevertheless a
REPETITION of last years flood could
very easily occur, should a gorge OF
ice again form at Sibley Island. 1t
is advisable for those living adjacent
to the river, or having interests near
the river, to keep in touch with the
local Office of the Weather Bureau.

her evident earnestness carried an
added force to her logic.
For MinOt, Howard Huston was the
first speaker He is natural orator
and won the attention of his hearers
from the start, He was followed by
Walter Chapmlin. Mr.. Champlin's
presentation of the subject showed
the result of deep study and hard

The rebuttal arguments followed,
each speaker appearing in reverse Or

debating Of Arnold Michaelson for
Bismarck and Howard Huston for
Minot was especially good
While the judges were making their
decision several musical numbers
were interspersed. Ethel Bolton sang
very pretty solo, and was followed
by a special St. Patrick's day recital.
This was opened by the high school
trio. which sang an Irish song in a

Governor Burke then announced the
decision of the judges whicr was to
l in favor of Bismarck. The house
went wild for a moment, and after
cheering reartily, ended by giving
three cheers for Minot, to which the
Minot boys on the stage, although
there were only three of them, re-
sponded by giving hearty cheer for
Bismarck. The spirit shown by the
boys from the Magic City was GER
tainly commendable, for as soon as
they heard the decision they fastened
to the capital city team and extended
congratulations and then offered the
latter all of their manuscripts which
they had used, so that Bismarck would
have them to use against any other
team it might meet. There were
many good words spoken regarding
their gentlemanly and sportsmanlike
conduct.
There are now only four teams left
in the state championship race. These
will he paired off and the two winning
teams then left in the field will meet
at Grand Forks in the final debate,
which will decide the state champion
ship and which will entitle the win
ners to the silver trophy.

Dsoinnino Of the Drama,

The thcater in the only sense that
is worth considering was born in
Athens. Roth tragedy and comedy
spring from feasts in honor Of Bac-
chus, and a. the jcsts and frolics were
found to be out Of place when intro
duced into graver scenes separate
province-the true drama-was formed
and comedy arose. The father Of the
Greek comedy was Aristophanes, who
had lots of fun lampooning the public
men of Athens. The creator Of Greek
tragedy was Aeschylus. born B. C.
525. In sublimity Aeschylus has new
er been surpassed. He is to the drama

How Music Affected Boswell.

Boswell had a good deal more feel
ing for music than DR.. johnson and
suffered at his masters hands. Once
in a moment Of expansiveness he told
johnson that music AFFECTED him. to
such a degree as to agitate his nerves
most painfully, producing alternative
sensations of pathetic detection, so
that he was ready to shed tears. and
Of daring resolution, SO that he was
inclined to rush into the thickest of
the battle.

never hear it at all if 1t made me such
