Former Is Given the Decision by a Divided VoteLarge Audience in Attendance. Special to The Journal. Owatonna, Minn , Dec. 18 The de bating season in the State High School league for the first district opened last night m this city when the Blooming Prairie and Owatonna high school teams met before a large audience. The decision was awarded the Bloom ing Prairie debaters, who supported the affirmative of the question "Re - solved, That American Cities and Villages Should Own and Operate Their Public Utilities " The Blooming Prairie team was composed of Misses Regina Guthrie, Gena Ostby and Ella McAdams. and Carl Trisko, Atlee Gudke and Clara Peterson represented the local high school. The Metropolitan was well filled with an enthusiastic audience and the debate was hotly contested on both sides and very interesting. The decision was not unanimous. The judges were Owen P McElmeel, Ralph Stanford and Edward P. Stan ford all of Minneapolis. A delegation of about thirty-five, headed by Superintendent Isaacs and several of the teachers, came from Blooming Prairie with the team of that place and returned after the con test with the laurel of victory Pupils of the Owatonna high had organized a rooters' club and were ready with megaphones and other noise produc ing contrivances to celebrate a vic tory. Bu t it was not needed and the demonstration was only moderate one on the part of Blooming Prairie, as it was away from home and its army of partizans could not be heard from. Music for the evening was of an excellent order and was heartily cheered. The high school orchestra and glee club of Owatonna contributed to this feature and Miss Warner and Miss Philpot, both of Owatonna, sang a duet. Superintendent Merrill of the state school for indigent children presided and announced the decision of the judges. Blooming Prairie will next be pitted against the winner at Austin to-night when the teams of Austin and Albeit Lea meet The third meet ing of the year will decide the dis trict championship and result in the selection of the team for the semi finals. $3 Full Dress Suits and Tuxedos.

GUTTHEWIRE AMENDMENTS ALDERMAN POWERS WEDIi FIGHT FOR THEM I N COUNCIL. Petitions for Permission to Erect Electric Wire Poles Will Bring on the ContestQuestion as to Cutting Stone for North Town Bridge Lake Calhoun Level. NICOllCt. Several petitions for pei mission to erect poles for electnc wires will be presented at the council meeting this evening and Alderman Fred M. Pow ers has already put on his war paint. To every motion or resolution he will tag an amendment providing that the wires shall be cut without expense whenever they interfere with the proper use of the street, particularly for house moving. This will undoubt edly precipitate several fights. Another matter which will awaken interest will be the report of the com mittee on roads and bridges recom mending that the stone for the sub structure of the bridge at Thirty-sec ond avenue N be cut in Minneapolis instead of at the quarries City En - gineer Rinker stated to the commit tee that the added cost would be from $1,500 to $2,000. Some of the alder men are, therefore, opposed to the committee report. The council will also consider the report of a council committee estab lishing the normal stage of water in Lake Calhoun as 144 feet, or six inches higher th an the present level. This action was taken on the report of City Engineer Rinker giving the elevations of the lake for several years past and a comparison with the elevations of Dean boulevard, which was overflowed last summer and fall by the high water m Lake Calhoun and the Lake of the Isles. RETAILERS OBJECT. They Do Not Wa nt Old City Hall Made a IiOdging House. The Retail Dealers' association is trying to prevent the conversion of the old city hall into a lodging house and a committee consisting of W. L Harris, M D. Rothschild and C. J. Gutgesell has been appointed to pre sent a protest to the city council this evening. There is a feeling among the citizens against degrading the somewhat historical building to the uses of a cheap lodging house The merchants favor turning the building over to the Salvation Army to be used for charitable purposes and in order to defeat the lodging house plan Mr. Harris says he will offer as much rental as Emil Johnson will pay, which is $3,000 a year It is a question, whether the old city hall can be used for a lodging house, inasmuch as the new building ordi nance provides that all buildings over three stories high which are altered into lodging houses must be of fire proof construction.
