Pendleton Schools Open.
Pendloton, Sept. 11; With a brand
new suit of clothes or a new red
sweater Pendleton's school population
flocked to the various school buildings
this morning for tho first time for
three months. Most- of the children
seemed happy to return to their stu
dies but here and there a boy or girl
went to greet his teacher with a
sheepish expression. '
Many children will not enroll for
the fall term until after, the Round
Up. The grade schools were well
filled however, this morning. Today
is 'being taken up with the teacher's
getting acquainted with' the pupils.
Tomorrow the real work of the year
will commence. '
The teachers report the largest
opening day attendance ever. At the
high school the attendance will bo al
most 300. By noon today 150 had
signed their enrollment cgjrds, had
the signatures of their various in
structors and the card turned back to
principal Harry T. Drill. Last year
the opening days' attendance at the
high noon was 245. .
The attendance at the Washington
Bchool showed an increase of 11 pu
nils. The attendance this morning
: was 257 as against 246 last year. The
i Hawthorne school showed a total reg
istration this morning of 245 students
as against 283 last year. The Lincoln
showed a small decrease there being
208 registered this morning as against
245 last year. This, decrease, .is ex
plained by the fact that a number of
students came without their books and
were counted absent until this after
noon. The afternoon figures are not
available but it is safe to say that the
1916 enrollment is expected to reach
the 1000 mark today.
Fifteen children are enrolled at tho
Fields' school. The total morning en
rollment was 875 students.

W. S. Hart
In The Aryan
If you like real Western pictures that
correctly portray the bad men of our
country their actions and passions
you'll enjoy W. S. Hart in 'The Aryan'.
You are taken far across the country to
tho Mojave Desert, into the heart of a
lawless mining camp wrhere the bad
men of the country live utterly disre
garding the rights of women.

Plan System of Water Koutcs.
Philadelphia, Sept. 13. The plan
for a system of inland waterways to
insure the transportation of freight
and passengers in the F.astem part of
the United States in case of a general
railroad strike will be considered by
the annual convention of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways convention that
opened here today. An inland water
ways system connecting all navigable
rivers, lakes and canals, delegates
pointed out, would serve the dual pur
pose of rendezvous for the navy in
time of war and of a means of trans
portation during labor troubles. Al
though Congressman J. Hampton

Generals William M. Black and Tas
ker H. Bliss and Brigadier General E.
M. Weaver and other3 confined theit
remarks to plans for the Atlantic
coast, other speakers later will urge
similar plans for the Gulf and Pacific
coast states. About a thousand dele
gates from Atlantic coast towns and
cities are here. The convention will
last four days, during which, it is ex
pected, addresses will be delivered by
United States Senators and Congress
men of the Rivers & Harbors com
mittee and the Commerce committee.
im-j flAnies is to sneak
' before the convention Sept. 16 at the
League lslana wavy iara. lomur
row the delegates will move their con
vention to Trenton and the following
day to Chester, Wilmimjton and Delft
ware City to examine cannls. At Del
aware City Thursday President Wil
son is expected to address the dele
gates after an inspection tour of the
ri.DcDnBnU and rialnwnre canal, "the
' Kiel of America," as the delegates
call it. It the rrosiuent cannot come,
someone will be present to represent
him. One of the most important
phases of the convention wi'.l be taken
up at Delaware City: the transforma
tion of the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal into a body of water iBrge
enough to float the largest battleship
built, building or contemplated. This
would atTord a quick and safe passage
for the sea dogs from the important
Chesapeake bay, from whence it
would go to the denfense of Baltimore
and Philadelphia via the Delaware
river.

Italy Took Gorizia With Aid of Miners
Rome, Sept. 13. Thanks to thou
sands of Italian-American miners
who came back from the coal fields of
Pennsylvania and Colorado, Italy took
the stronghold of Gorizia from the
Austrians. They hewed galleries and
solid rock and tunnelled a way for
the advance of the Duke of Aosta and
his troops. The question now is: Can
they blast a road to Triests and Vien
na? They believe they can.
