in Study.
Prof. L. r. Traver, city superinten-
dent of the Pendleton schools, is now
bugily engaged in preparing for the
commencement of work this fall, and
today makes the following announce
ments:
Schools Open September 10.
The public school year will begin
on Monday, September 10. The build
ings will be placed in first-class con-
di:ion by that time, so that every
thing will be ready for the coming Of
the boys and girls. The long vaca-
ton is over; the weather has become
cooler and pupils and teachers are
anxious and ready to resume their
school work.
Beginning Primary Pupils.
All pupils who will be years old
during the school year, should enter
school this term; as the classes are
larger than those of the February
| term. These beginners should be pres
ent on the first day in order to be able
to do the grade work. Glasses are
formed on the first day for beginners;
pupils who enter two or three weeks
later cannot possibly overtake the
classes, but usually remain in the
same class next term.
Bring Report Cards.
The regular pupils who were in the
Pendleton schools last year are re-
quegted to bring their report cards;
pupils from other schools will be clas-
sified and placed where they can do
the best work, Pupils who were.
obliged to leave before the close of
school will be placed where they can
work to the best advantage.
The Boundaries.
The boundaries for each of the
schools are High school-All high
school pupils and all S-A pupils in the
district. East school-All pupils from
S-A to S-B, living east of Main street
and all pupils from 1-B to S-B living
east of College street. West school
All pupils from 3-A to S-B, who live
west of Main street, and all pupils
from 1-B to S-B living west of Ann
street. Field school-Al pupils from
LIB to S-B between College and Ann
streets south OF the river. North
school-Al pupils living north of the
river from grades 1-B to 5-B, inclu-
sive. Pupils above the fifth grade
may elect to attend either the east OF
west schools.
The Corps Of Teachers.
The Pendleton schools will open
this year with the strongest corps OF
teachers in the state. Every teacher
IN the corps has been successful in
school work somewhere hence the
success of the schools this wear via
not he a problem. The average corps
contains several teachers who are in
experienced or unsuccessful in other
schools, but each teacher in Pendleton
brings a good record, ability and
training which strengthens the whole
corps There are fewer new teachers
than for last year; eight new teachers
this year, while last year there were
l6 new teachers in the corps during
the year.
The Course of Study.
The present course of study was
adopted last year and will continue
without much change this year. Forty
two grade meetings were held by the
superintendent last year and the old
teachers have the course well in hand.
The teachers viii meet the superin-
tendent for study OF the grade work
during the first term of the coming
year and special attention will be
given to the subject of language
throughout the year The teachers Of
tho city will probably organize them

SURVEYORS ARE BUSY.

CASTLE ROCK, Ore. August Is. -
Two companies of railroad surveyors
have been at work in this vicinity for
several weeks past, one in each side Of
the Cowlitz River. 1t has been generally
known that those on the east side were
Northern Pacific men, but there has
been considerable doubt in the minds of
the people as to whom the others repre-
sented. The engineers themselves have
been very retieent, and have not given
much satisfaction to those making in
quiries. One of them gave out the in
formation the other day that they were
working for the Oregon & Washington
Railroad. This is thought to be the

being taken to complete the arrange
ments for the right of way it looks like
there might be some building begun
