A BUsINESSLIKE DECISION

m n securing a man to fill the
position of superintendent
the school board has learn
ed that good men for such po-
SitionS are scarce and that it is
not easy to obtain them during
the school year. Mr.. Austin
was willing to come at this time
under the contract offered him,
but the school board at La
Junta refused to give him an
honorable dismissal until the
end of the school year. The
action of the La Junta board
was natural because it would
be hard for that board to re-
place the man at this time.
The fact the La Junta board
wishes Mr.. Austin to continue
throughout the school year is
further evidence of the fact he
has been giving satisfaction
there. in a town with larger
school corps than has Pendle-
ton. In various ways our board
has secured a mass of informa-
ton about Mr.. Austin and all
the facts show him to be a very
strong and successful superin-
tendent. So it was deemed
wise to contract with him re-
gardless of the fact he cannot
come to Pendleton for several
months. Under the circum-
stances, the scarcity of school
men becoming more and more
acute because of the war, the
board has acted with sound
judgment and the East Ore
gonian is confident the COM
will approve.

There will be little superci-
liOusness among new officers

have won their honors by abil-
ity and hard work which is not
conductive to SnObblShneSS.

SPEED UP WORK
Activities at Fair Grounds Be-
ing RedOubled This Week.
Departure of Soldiers Gives OPP
pOrtunity to Clean Up.

With the ammunition train re-
moved from the fair grounds activity
in the matter of preparations for the
Kansas Free Fair has been redoubled.
Work was delayed until the soldiers
left and had they not been called out
at the time they were they would have
been moved to the state house grounds
in order to give the fair management
time to get the necessary preparations
made.
Carpenters. stone masons, brick
layers, telephone lineme1. concrete
workers, plumbers and almost every
other kind of artisan is at the fair
grounds.
By Saturday afternoon tair mana
gers hope to have everything in readi-
ness for the opening of the fair dltho
the formal opening will rot be until
nine o'clock Monday morning.
Concessions have been sold all over
the grounds. Almost all of the space
ordinarily available for such purpose
IS taken. Contracts have oeen signed
up in some instances for six weeks but
most of those who take concessions
have waited until the last week.
Concessions have brought good
prices and ready takers this year be-
cause of the practical demonstration
in the last two years that the Free
Fair brings the people.
Topeka churches, with the contracts
they have signed, assure patrons of
the fair that there will be plenty OF
places on the grounds to satisfy hun
ger. And the number of thirst
stands" will be more plentiful than
ever before.
During the remainder of the week
all of the eating houses, the drink
stands, the ice cream con. stands, the
fruit stands and all the other stands
that go to make up a supply train
for an army of thousands OF people
for six days will be erected.
Hundreds of people are visiting the
grounds daily merely to See the tent
citV grow.

ROYALTY
More of Cars Kin Taken Into
Custody in Russia.
Suspect Plot at Crimea To Re-
store AutOcratic Power.

Petrograd, Sept. SIN addition to
the arrest of Grand Duke Michael
Alexandovitch, brother of the former
emperor, and his wife, the Countess
Pahlen and the Grand Duke Paul and
his morganatic wife have also been
taken into custody.
The reported arrest of Grand Duke
Dmitri Paulovitch is as yet uncon-
firmed. The arrests are the result
of suspected completely in the counter
revolutionary conspiracy concerning
which the provisional government OBJ
tanned evidence during the Moscow
conference. Many arrests in con-
nection with the plot have already
been made.
Last night the assistant commander
of the Petrograd district with a de-
tachment of picked soldiers arrived at
Tsarskoe Selo and read an order for
the arrest to, Grand Duke Paul, who
submitted merely asking the reason.
The assistant commander stated that
it was by order of Premier Kerensky
Later the same official visited Gethina
and arrested Grand Duke Michael and
his wife.
The minister of justice refuses for
the present to give out any facts con-
corning the arrests. According to
some of the newspapers, however, the
headquarters of monarchist conspir-
acy is Crimea where the other grand
dukes and duchesses and the dowager
empress reside under surveillance.
In Crimea according to the news
papers there has been recently found
ed society under the name of For
ward for the car and Holy Russia
which was detected organizing and
training "Czarist'' propagandists

Red Oak, Iowa, Sept. 5.-Selection
of a jury was expected to begin to-
day at the resumption of the trial of
Rev. Lyn George Kelly on an indict-
ment charging him with Staying one
of the eight victims of the Villisca,
Iowa, axe murders of June 9, 1912.
There were unconfirmed reports that
additional indictments had been voted
by the Montgomery county grand jury
which yesterday indicted Attorney
General H. NJ. Havner, on a charge
of oppression in office in connection
with his action at a grand jury in
vestigation of the axe killings.
Mr.. Havner, who was released on
$1,000 bond for a preliminary hear
ing, declared the indictment was in
stigated with a view to intimidating
him in the conduct of the Kelly trial
in which he is directing the prosecu-
ton. He will play as his trump
card the confession, he says Kelly
signed, admitting the murder Of Joe

Marines in France Are an Elk

They Mix Little With the Reg

HAVE OWN CHIROPODIST
Grey-Green Takes the Place of

Officers Encourage Rivalry Be-

American Field Headquarters,
France, Sept. 5.-Way up at the end
of this camp, apart from those army
people," are the United States Marines,
the fellows who bought $50, 900 worth
of French war loans just as starter.
Army fellows have to come up to
the marine camp occasionally to have
their teeth fixed or their feet repaired
by the marines chiropodist Aside
from these few invasions the marines
don't suffer the presence of their an
cient rivals
The chiropodist is Boston boy who

and enlisted there when the war was
declared. His book of operations

blesome corns and a long list of mis-
cellaneOuS foot troubles cured since
the expedition came to France.
Live to Themselves.
With their own headquarters, their
own billets their own instructors and
a training ground all to themselves,
the marines are managing to keep the
line drawn between themselves and
the army. They claim their streets
are a little cleaner. their manners a
little better than those of the army.
And it was sort of a challenge to the
fellows in khaki when the marines
pulled off their sudden financial drive
with that contribution of gold to the
French war funds.
To get to the marines camp you
pass along the line of the first con-
tingent. At the road side you see
the lean-to cook tents, covered with
camouflage of paint and leaves to pre-
vent aerial spotting. Cooks are pre-
pairing big pans of steak, cauldrons of
stew and rows of peach pies for the
time when those tiny figures visible
on the ridge of the distant hills will
form into columns and come trooping
back into town with a loud demand

Khaki disappears from view and the
grey green of the marine corps takes
its place in the scheme of the camp

Officers quietly encourage the riv-
airy between marines and the army,
partly because of pride in their own
arm of the Service and partly because
they know it's a good thing to have
competition between two forces that
are nearing perfection in the business
of killing Germans.
Just at present the marines are
model boys in caring for their cloth
ing because there's an order out that
when the present issue of uniforms is
gone the marines will drop their
grey green and adopt the army khaki.
No marine wants to year the army
suit. But the present marine uni
form has long trousers which won't
do for the kind of fighting that goes
on in the trenches.
