WIN TRYoUT FOR WASHING
TON STATE DEBATE.

Gordon Watkins and Horace Davis
will represent the university in the
coming debate with Washington State
college. These two men We're chosen
at a try-out in assembly hall last
night. Mr.. Boldly and Alva Baird
also took part in the try-out. 1t hap
pened that two of the competitors last
night supported the affirmative of the
question and two the negative. In
view of his fact the subject was de-
bated pro and con under the rules us
and Boldly took the affirmative and
Davis and Baird opposed the question.
The question on which the men
spoke and which will be debated when
Montana meets Washington state is,
Resolved, That a Minimum Wage
! Scale to be Operative in Workshops,
Factories and Department Stores
Should Be Provided for by Law, Con-.
stitutionality Granted" Montana
will take the affirmative.
This is the question on which m
other Montana team will debate a trio
of speakers fro mthe state agricul-
tural college next month. In this
other debate Montana will take the
negative. The debate coach had
planned to have both Montana teams
take the negative in order that they
might work with ZACH other. Delays
ove which the coach and the kaimin
seem greatly excited, but which
haven't stirred the student body to

BRIDGE PAVEMENT
IS NO GOOD
COMMISSIONER PRICE EXPECTS
TO SEE NEW ROADWAY
LAID THIS YEAR.

The pavement on the roadway of
the Higgins avenue bridge will prob
ably have to be torn up and relaid
during the coming summer. Street
Commissioner Price came to this con-
clusion after an inspection of the
"buckled' pavement yesterday. There
seems to be no escape from the an
nual spring fight against u~pheavals in
the pavement so long as the present
wood blocks are kept in the street.
The cost to the city each spring APP
proximates $500 and it will be cheap
err for the city to put in a new pave
ment and end all trouble forever.
The blocks in the present pavement
We're not sufficiently creosoted and
absorb water whenever there is a
thaW or a rain. Freezing weather
after a soaking causes the blocks to
expand and buckle" This difficulty
has been encountered every year n
it has cost the city a good deal of
money to stamp the blocks back into
position. Each recurrence of the
trouble seems to be worse than the
last one-certainly the upheaval with
which Mr.. Priceais now contending is
the worst that has ever occurred.
There are hu,nmocks in the roadway
every five or six feet and even the
pavement between the car tracks has
buckled and cracked. Il don't believe
that the pavement touches the bridge
anywhere" said Mr.. Price yesterday.
Every square incl of it is raised
above the concrete flooring"
One cause of the trouble is in the
concrete guards on either side of the
street car rack. The wooden curbs
at the edge of the roadway don't give
much trouble, but water seeping under
the concrete curbs beside the track
gets under the pavement and boosts
the pavement into the air.
For the present Mr.. Price will go no
farther than to cut the pavement
down to fit the bridge. In the sum-
mer a pavement of thoroughly creo-
soted blocks that will not absorb
water will probably be put in on the
bridge.
