One Hundred and Sity Enrolled Ht llcciniiing of Second Term Fifty Six Hoarding Students Mother General of the Order Coming on Tour of Iiisjieetion Lost of Febru ary Building Is Being Virel for Electric Lights. Reverend Mother Agnes, general of the order of St. Francis In the United States, whose headquarters are In Philadelphia, will arrive In Pendleton during the latter part of February' to visit St. Joseph's academy and St. Anthony's hospital, of this city. She leaves Philadelphia on February l'l for a general tour of Inspection of th-J K"b.ools and hospitals maintained by the order" la the northwest, of which the Pendleton hospital and St. Joseph's academy are the chief Institutions. Mother Stanislaus, who Is at the head of the sisterhood of St. Francis in the northwest, and who is directly in charge of both the hospital and academy in this city, is now making preparations to greet the general of the order In an appropriate manner. Mohter Stanislaus has been in charge of St. Joseph's academy since It was established 20 years ago and to her Indomitable courage and tire less energy is largely due the highly successful condition of both these Pen. dleton Institutions as well as the other schools and hospitals In her Jurlsdtc tion. At the beginning of the second term of the school year at St. Joseph's acad emy there are 160 students enrolled. There are six rooms containing from IS to "5 students including a!! b.' grades from the primary- to a grade Uniform with the 12th public school. enlarged In the near future to make room for the increasing paitronage. Electricians are now at work wiring the entire academy building for elec trie lights and when this Is complete the academy will be one of the most complete and convenient boarding school buildings In the northwest. Course Is Very Thorough. Aside from the regular grades taught. Including painting, music. drawing, commercial law. an art course and higher mathematics. A new kiln has just been added to the art department In which china painting Is fired, or burned to give it the required gloss and tints. This Is an Important branch of the art de partment and some excellent work is done. The art department includes china painting, oil painting, needle work, pyropraphy, clay modeling anu water color painting. The text books used In St. Joseph's academy are Identical with those used In the public schools up to the eighth grade, but above this grade other text books are added, making It even more diversified than the public school course. In some respects, Training School for Tenoliers. In the novitiate or training school for teachers and nurses are 10 novices who are now In preparation for their life work. Formerly It was neces sary for novices to go to Philadelphia for final preparation for the sister hood, but two years ago a novitiate was established at St. Joseph's acade my and now the entire northwest is supplied with teachers and nurses foi the Franciscan istitutinns from Pen dleton. This makes Pendleton the headquarters of the entire sisterhood In the northwest and gives the city a prestige enjoyed by few other points In this respect. The novitiates receive special train ing anart from the work of St. Joseph's academy and enter their life work from Pendleton as fully equip ped as though they had completed their novitiate at Philadelphia. NEW ZEALAND MAY GO INTO THE SHEEP IUSINESS IN OREGON. F D. Phillips Was Rom In New Zea land ami Was a Friend There of W. R. Frey, of Pendleton Has Travel ed Extensively Though Never Before hi the I'uited States Funning and Stixkral-lng In New Zealand Largely Conducted on a Co-operative Sys-teni. F. D. Phillips, of Auckland, New Zealand, Is visiting In Pendleton for a few days and is looking over this sec tion of the country with a view of go ing into the sheep . business. While here he bus been the guest of W. ft. Fmy, with whom he was acquainted while the latter was In New Zealand. .Mr. Phillips was born In New Zea land Hiid has passed practically all of his life on that progressive south sea Island. However, he has traveled con siderably, having been in China. Japan, Australia and England, though this is his first visit to the United States. He has been engaged In the sheep business considerably, and has also been connected with a newspaper In Auckland. In speaking of the conditions on the Island, he said that the farming and stnckraislng Industries are run on a co-operative basis, and the ranches are known as stations. All of the larger stations are provided with rail road connections. While the sheep industry Is Import ant there, It is conducted differently than In this country, as the land Is all adapted to diversified products and consequently the sheep are usually In small bands. However, there are some concerns running large bands and using hundreds of thousands of acres. After further investigating affairs here, Mr. Phillips may go to Gilliam and Wheeler counties for the purpose of looking over the situation there. PLAINTIFF GOT THE MILE.

Does Food Distress You?! the respective friends of the two men. Many contend that Hayes was abusive toward Mortimer and was the aggres sor in the affair with the result that the latter lost control of himself and struck Hayes In a moment of passion. The board was used as a brace with whlh to bar a door In the saloon. However, a different story Is told by others, who maintain that Hayes Is not a bad man, but that Mortimer has a tendency In that direction. After the fight yesterday Mortimer mounted his horse and rode out of Echo. A warrant was then sworn out for his arrest and he was sought by several men on horseback. Meanwhile the case has not been taken up owing to the uncertainty regarding Hayes' con dition. IX CHARGE OF SIGNALS. Kumclu Is Central Station for Block Signal System. The Installation of the block signal system on the Mountain division of the O. R. & X. between La Grande and Cayuse, a distance of 65 miles, has given employment to three now employes at Kamela and has made that point the central power station for the signal system. The electric power station is located at Kamela In charge of J. W. Dean and two assistants, who have charge of the line of signals, the electric bat teries and the signal lights. The electric batteries which oper ate the automatic arms of the slgnuls are charged at Kamela every two weeks. A helper engine is sent over the road every other day gathering the batteries which are to be re charged. Only a portion of the total number of batteries are recharged at one time, thus leaving a large pro portion of fully charged batteries In service all the time. The lights on the signal arms burn for 10 days, when the lamps are re' filled and the wicks replaced and trimmed. The lights ure produced by a specially prepared grade of signal oil, and the colored glass used fur the signals Is a high grade reflecting glass which throws a strong, steady light which, although not larger than the ordinary lamp light, can be seen by trainmen for three miles on clear nights. ii Prices are Cut NOT THE EXTRAVAGANT CLAIM OF AX ADVERTISER, BUT A BONA FIDE CUT OF THE REGULAR PRICE TO A POIXT 80 LOW THAT EVEN ALL MAY SEE AND NOTE THE DIFFERENCE. , TODAY THESE ESPECIALLY APPLY ON Top Coats, Hanan and Douglas Shoes, Neckwear, Etc.

It Is understood that considerable difficulty was had by the Jury In arriving at Its decision, for though the predominance of evidence was in favor of the plain tiff it was hard to destlnguish the rightful owner of the animal. After having called upon the mule and strived In vain to decide the ques tion, the Jury came down town for supper about 6 o'clock last evening. One of the Jurors. John Hayes, Is the father of George Hayes who w as hurt at Echo yesterday, and as the Jurors were coming up the street he was no tified of the Injury to his son. Judge Fills was then called and excused Mr. Hiyes from further service, leaving the decision to the remaining 11 Jurors. After a few more ballots, a unanimous vote was cat for the plaintiff.
