Though the high school sopho

night and administered a signal de

they came to school this morning
they found the hated numerals "10"
adorned the walls Immediately they
set to work with paint and brush and
replaced their own "18".
By the terms of the agreement, the
sophomores were required to defend
their numerals against erasure un;il

classmen in the mix early In the ev

TOKIO, Dec. 16. Japan' has warn
ed China she will keep a vlllgant eye
on political developments there. It is
relieved that she indicated she would
act In the event of an outbreak In
connection with Yuan's assumption of
the Imperial power. China must take
Hdeiuate action to preserve order.
Yuan has created five princes,
twelve dukes and 24 marquises. That
Is taken here to indicate China plans
to disregard Japanese protests of her
change In political status.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 16. That
Japan will make no move other than

test against the reestabllshnient of the
Chinese monarch unless a revolution
should result was expressed In a state

on oriental affairs. The statement
follows:
"tn protesting against the reestab

An official bulletin from the O.-W.

station this morning announcing that
on or about January 15 the Pilot Rock
Junction terminal yards will be put
Into use and that, effective from tha'.
lime, all passenger engine crews will
run from Huntington to Pilot Rock
Junction.
This bulletin is fraught with inter
est and importance to Pendleton. It
not only means the opening of the di
vision point but it means that the pas
si nger engine men will have to make
their homes in Pendleton. At pres
ent there are three runs on the O.
W. R. & N. for engine crews, from
Huntington to La Grande, from La
Grande to Umatilla and from Umatil
la to Portland. Under the new ar
I rangement there will be but two runs,
: from Huntington to Pilot Rock Junc-
tion and from the Junction to Port,
j land.
There are at this time sht passenger
i engine crews operating on the main
I line but there is a possibility that, be
cause of the Increased mileage, one of
these will be cut off under the new
i arrangement. This will leave at least
! five crews. Because their layovers
