SCHOOL ATTENDANCE % PER CENT MORE

There are nearly $50 more enrolled
in the Pendleton city schools this year
than last. This is the largest increase
in any one year for a number of
years.
According to an enrolment census
taken this morning by City Superin-
tendent Landers, the number enroll
ed at the present time in the five
schools is 925, or exactly 145 more
than were enrolled at the same time
last year. With one exception each
school shows an increase in attend
ance. The one exception is to be
found in the Lincoln or north side
school and this is accounted for by
the fact that two or three families

Quiet now reigns within the fair
pavilion where last week gaiety held
full sway. Instead OF the scenes OF
beauty, disorder and confusion pre-
vail in every booth. Men and wo-
men with arms full Of bundles and
express wagons with heavier loads
are quickly removing the exhibits.
The carpet of confetti alone remains
undisturbed,
At IL o'clock Saturday night the
third annual fair OF the third eastern
Oregon district agricultural society
was officially declared at an end and
few minutes later the watchman
alone occupied the pavilion. With
the attendance records smashed for
each day the fair is generally conced-
ed to have been every bit the success
that was promised and with the three
years experience to profit by the
management Is fully convinced that
next year 1t will do still better.
Already are the plans for enlarge
ment and Improvement being made
and the public can feel sure that the
departments which were weak this
year will not be so next time and
those that were strong will be even
stronger A large addition will be
made to the livestock tent and the
number of cattle to be shown there
next year will be several times as
large as this year,
Words OF praise are being heard
oil every side for the music furnish
ed, both vocal and instrumental, This
added materially to the success and
and pleasantness OF the fair and the
management Is being congratulated
for having chosen so wisely. Though
the program committee was dlsap-
pointed by the failure of some to
keep their engagements, the programs
rendered are generally conceded to
have been better than those of the
former fairs.
The changes made IN the stand
aided materially ana by next year it
e. hoped to have still other arrange
monts made which will tend to IA
clltate the speaking, making II moro
pleasant for speaker and hearer alike.

MINISTER WOULD SOLVE
THE TEMPERANCE PROBLEM

Bellingham, Oct. 5.-In a sensa-
uonal sermon last night Rev. William
orr Work, pastor of the First Con-
sregational church of this city, made
a unique suggestion for a proposed
local option law in Washington. He
declares that bars should be abolish
ed ana the fronts of resorts opened.
That they should serve beer and
other refreshments on tables and
that the practice of treating should
be abolished

Thomas Moffatt and Van Goodlln,
indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of selling liquor contrary to
the local option law, changed their
plea Of not guilty to guilty on two
indictments each this afternoon and
will be sentenced Wednesday morn
ing at 8 o'clock.
1t is understood that a compro-
mise has been agreed upon whereby by
pleading guilty to two counts, the de-
PENDANTS will be permitted to pay a
fine for the first offense and will
have their Jail sentences suspended
during good behavior. The other
cases will be held over them.
What will be the final disposition
of the cases against the remainder
of the defendants is hard to determ-
inc at this time as it seems neither
the attorneys or their clients have
reached decisions or can agree. In
deed, the two men who entered pleas
of guilty this afternoon, did so with
out consulting their attorneys, which
fact caused mixup and considerable
delay in court proceedings this after
noon. The attorneys in the case were
Raley. Richards & Raley.
Some of the other defendants have
declared they will fight the cases
rather than plead guilty even if it
costs them every cent they have. 1t
is therefore probable that some long
drawn-out legal battles will be waged
in the circuit court and state courts,

New York. oct. 5.-Ten persons
were burned to death and many ia
tally injured in the burning of an
east side tenement today-an incen-
diary fire which Fire Marshal Kelley
declares was set by the Black Hand
The fiends who set the fire started
the flames in a stairway so that all
opportunity for escape of the inmates
was shut off. Oil soaked paper was
put about the building in various
places.
When the inmates, most Of whom
were foreigners, were awakened they
were entirely hemmed in by flames,
fire having been started at both front
and rear Of the building.
Play Ball With Babies.
Most of those who were killed
Jumped from the windows of the
building, three of whom attempted to
get out through the roaring furnace
OF the stairway without having the
slightest chance of escape. Ten
babies were saved by the heroic eff
forts of firemen who after securing
the children at the risk of their lives
threw them from the windows to the
waiting men below, who caught them
like y many baseballs.
Most of those who escaped climbed
to the top of the building and made
their way to safety over other roofs.
Two men were seen rolling bar
rel into the building just before the
fire started During the burning Of
the structure two heavy explosions
occurred and these are believed to
have been, due to the efforts of the
Black Hand to make their murder
Gus work more certain.

Much Travelled people will testify
that the most stupid people IN the

said to be even more dense than the
inhabitants Of the county OF Wiltshire,

but they do not call It stupidity They
have another name for It. They have
exalted 1t into a virtue and call 1t

he would be accounted a fool. But In

upon n country tilt cart drawn Mt a
snails pace along the narrow road by
q white horse. Perched on the seat
were peasant and his good wife.
The chauffeur blew his horn. and
much to the royal party's surprise the
horse began to prance briskly.
AS the peasant made no attempt to
pull the horse and cart out OF the road
tho chauffeur repeated the "honk,

and his wife sat stolidly on the seat
