A Joint Debate.
(New Haven Journal-Courler)

fNew Haven Journal l-Courier).
 The Hughes national college league has accepted a challenge sent by the Wilson college league to debate the issues of the campaign. We may be sure that, as a result, a first class struggle between wits and wise men will follow which will help amazingly to clear the atmosphere of doubt and confusion. The situation needs clear Ing up and this will help.
 We recall with much interest two debates which were held in this state many years ago. One was held, or rather a series of meetings were held, in the eastern towns of the state be- tween David A. Wells of Norwich, an economist of great learning, and Charles A. Russell of Killingly, then a member of the federal congress from the third district, a man of
 nimbl wit and quick intellectual re-
 sources The subject was the tariff
 laws The other debate, upon the
 same subject, was that held in this
 city between Joseph B. Sargent, a 1nanufac cturer and a profound student
 of economic laws and trade currents end N. D. Sperry a man saturated with the practical impressions of public life These debates attracted 8 statewide interest and played a large part in the elections which fol- lowed them.
 Another could be held this year that would attract even wider atten- ton than is provided by the states boundaries. There are no two men
 more alert in their studies of current political events than George P. Me
 Lean, now United States senator from l this state, and Homer s. Cummings of Stamford, who is a candidate to succeed him. Each is the master of the aims and aspirations of his politi- cal party; each understands the phil osophy of his political conclusions; each is fully equipped to meet the other in the presence of their politica masters and discuss the future as it must affect the welfare of the nation. If such series of debates can be ar l ranged, the campaign in Connecticut will take on air of hustle and stir which is needed to arouse the voters to a sense of their duty.

Whenever town girl gets too proud to marry a man with 100 acres of land and twenty red pigs just because he cant tell the tango from a sloe gin rickey you can set it down as a fact that she will either die an old maid or marry $6 a week clerk with head full of ozone and only one change of hOleproofs. We would rather see her hooked up with some fellow who wears 49 cent overalls and knows when to hit the top of the market than to be yoked to some Cuthbert who plays the mandolin, smokes Turkish cigarettes and lives off his fathers pension. Still, there's 8 no accounting for tastes. That's why they are establishing courts of do- mestic relations here and there,

"Nothing to Live For"
Providence Journal. )

A Chicago man, aged eighty-four. is believed by his son to have died of a broken heart. T have nothing to live for now" the old man is said to have exclaimed when he went on the city pension list, a few weeks ago. Rather than quit, I would work for nothing.'
 For sixty-four years he had been in the service of the city. He would have liked to go on indefinitely, but the municipal pension law had to be

R0nnran1a s Chief Seaport, C0nstantza, q W0peL City

Washington, D. C., Sept. 26.-"From now until peace is declared Rou- mania's chief seaport, Constantza, will consecrate her modern docks and quays to the import trade in Russian soldiers whereas before the war this thriving little city of 27,OOO inhabi- tants handled practically all the sur plus wheat raised by the Roumanian peasants which did not find it's way up the Danube to the great flour mills of bulletin issued by the National Geo. graphic society.
 "A large percentage of the Czar's fighting men who will pass through Rouman1a bound for the Hungarian and Bulgarian frontiers will embark from Odessa, 17O miles north east of COnstantza via the Black sea lane traversed in peace times by pas senger ships of the ROumanian state owned steamship lines. 190 miles to the south of Constantza is Constanti- nople through which the allies hope eventually to secure the vast stores of grain now held in Southern Russia, as well as the coming seasons of wheat crop of Roumania.
 Until hostilities began in 1914 Con- stantza was the transfer point for the extensive passenger service from Lon don, Paris Brussels, Berlin, Vienna and Budapest to Constantinople and the Near East Here express steamers connected with the de luxe trains from k hn rim lime Porte overnight.
 Millions of dollars have beer spent on the harbour and docks or Constantza since the town became & Roumanian possession by the +r""N of Berlin, which transferred the Do- brudja province to this country. The prin ncipal Improvements were begun Tn 1896.
 "Constantza, or Kustendje, with it's wide clean streets, it's numerous mosques Synagogues and churches, oc- cupies the site of the ancient Toml, TOmiS or Tones, the metropolis Of the Euxine. The remains of many columns and fragments of statuary testify tc the importance and the wealth or the city in those days In the fourth cen tury Constantine the Great changed the name of the port to Consantiana, in honor of his siser. During the reign of Theodosius it experienced an era of great prosperity as the metropolis of Pontus, but after it passed under the control of the Bulgars and later or the Turks it's decline was rapid. In the Russo-T Turkish war of 1872 1t was bombarded by the Russians and seV- enteen years later surrendered to the same power without a blow in it's de- fence.
 "Probablv the most noteworthy event in the history of ancient Tomi was it's designation by the Emperor Augustus as the place of exile of the great Latin poet PubIius Ovidius Naso, familiarly known as Ovid. The poets offense was the publication of "Ars Amatoria," which enjoys the questionable distinc- tion according to no less an authority than the Oxford scholar George Sid ney Owen, of being perhaps the most

Fred w. Graham, immigration agent
of the Great Northern, spent Sunday
in Oroville. Mr.. Graham is nothing
|if not up and coming always. Time
does not stale his infinite variety
when that variety is studying ways
and means of catching immigrants
going and coming, and discovering
new means and methods of populating
and opening up new country under his
jurisdiction. 1t was largely through
his representations that the railroad
company has made a trial of running
two daily trains, Sunday included, be-
tween Oroville and Wenatchee, an ex-
pertinent it is hoped will prove suffi-
GENTLY profitable as a business getter
to justify the railroad in continuing
indefinitely. When a man feels some
what oppressed with the idea that his
efforts for the building up of the coun-
try he is working for are not bearing
fruitage, or at least not as promptly
as he desires, he gains new inspiration
for further effort whenever meeting
with Fred Graham, a prince of good
| fellows personally, hustler by nature
and intuition.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM ACCEPTED.

During the past week the directors of the
west Okanogan Valley irrigation district
formally accepted the irrigation system
from the contractors as completed and
nave assumed the management of the
project. Thorough tests demonstrate con-
clusiVely that the work comes up to the
lull standard of efficiency provided by
the plans and specifications under the con-
I tract ana has been completed within the
pellou provided ana promised In spite OF
thc most unfaVorable climatic conditions
that have ever interefered with the carry
ing out of similar work in the west. The
chef essence of the contract was in the
provision that the system should be tested
under 80 per cent flow of water The
test has been made throughout the full
length of the project on both sides of the
valley, and the new bitches. fumes and
siphons have stood the strain far better
than could possibly have been expected
The following statement contributed bV
j. c. Stevens. engineer in charge and a
man who i'll every respect is capable of
passing judgment upon that class of work.
shows that the system as completed is one
of the best and most substantial of the
kind that has ever been carried out on the
coast:
" On July Z, 1916. just one year from the
date of signing the contract the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation project was
completed. and the irrigation works pasesd
into the hands of the board Of directors
for operation and maintenance.
AS an example of rapid construction
this Is almost without parallel In spite
of very long and severe winter, during
which construction work was practically
suspended for three months the work was
completed within the time limit named In
the contract viz: in time for irrigation
during the season of 1916.
Heavy winter and spring thaws. an
exceptionally high June flood. severe rain
storms and cloud bursts have put the
structures to a very severe test and ii Is
gratifying to know that the canals. fumes,
pipes and bridges have Withstood these
tests with no damages and no sign of
weakness.
After the works were completed all the
main conduits We're put to the test of car
ryinp 60 per cent, or more, of their max
mum capacity. All lines stood this severe
test without the slightest evidence of
weakness. When we consider that irriga-
tion canals are rarely, if ever, given such
a severe test when freshly built and before
banks have had time to settle, this show
ing is most remarkable and speaks flu
entity for the stability and thoroughness of
the construction work.
Having passed successfully through all
these tests there is absolutely no doubt
whatever as to the future success of this
irrigation system.
"A. Guthrie & Co, contractors, deserve
a great deal of credit for the rapid and at
the same time thorough manner In which
the construction work was performed and
the district Is to he congratulated upon
having fallen heir to so complete and sat
sfactory a system of irrigation works"

in THE TENTH YEAR,

In another column of this issue is
published statement of the condition
of the First National bank of Oroville
on June 30, 1916, issued in response to
the regular calls of the comptroller of
the treasury. This report is worth
looking over. 1t is a very flattering in
dication of a growing and substantial
banking business, even at a season of
he year that is considered the dullest,
and concrete evidence of the solidity
OF this local financial institution. Every
item that enters into the representa-
ton of a flourishing banking business
shows an improvement over former re-
ports. 1t is most creditable showing,
satisfactorily alike to the stockholders
and the public at large. The bank is in
a position now to pay dividends, re-
turns from the investment that have
not been forthcoming for long time,
and that always interesting feature for
the beneticiaries promises to become
a regular habit in the future
In this connection it may be stated
that the First National bank has been
established for ten years this summer,
and 1t goes without the saying that it
has proved valuable adjunct to the
business interests of the place. The
process of expansion has been SLOW
but nevertheless sure. 1t has kept pace
with the growth of the town, and its
tenth birthday sees the institution on a
most excellent footing. Much of the
more recent success of the bank is
due to the energy and activity of the
young men directly in charge of the
business affairs of the establishment
A. p. Murray, as president, and S. B.
|Starrett, Jr., as cashier, have given
their constant personal attention to the
handling of the business and they have
contributed largely to the growing
popularity Of the house by their unde-
waiting courtesy in their treatment of
patrons and all having business to
transact at the bank. May the First
National continue expanding and grow
ing until it becomes one of the impor-
tant and leading banking houses of the
northwest.
