EXHIBIT OF SCHOOLS SHOWS
PRACTICAL WORK OF STUDENTS
Patrons of Pendleton's schools, per
sons skeptical over the modern trend
of education and In 'fact all citizen
would profit by a visit this evening
or tomorrow to the Moose Hall where
there nro exhibits of the industrial
work being done by. the students of
the high and grade schools. It la an
exhibit that nstonlshes and almost am
azeB one not closely in touch with the
schools heue.' It is a revelation of the
new, practical turn which school work
Is taking.
That which excites the most admi
ration Is the exhibit of the work done
In the manual training department of
the high school. The main part of
the floor space Is filled with furniture
that defies the eye of anyone to dis
tinguish It from store furniture. And
when one stops to consider that it was
all done by school boys, the admira
tion grows and the average man feels
. a little envious that he could not have
had the advantage -of uch training
when he was a boy.
There are about 66 large pieces on
exhibit, Including chests, library
tables, music cabinets, bookcases, chi
na, closets, dressing tables, dining
tobies, serving tables, office furntture,
. porch furniture, rocking chairs, ma
gazine stands and piano benches,
With but a few exceptions, all are
made of hard wood. All of this was
done by students in the course in cabi
net making and there are besides ex
hibits of the work done in the courses
In carpentry, wood turning and Join
ery. It. E. Chloupek is the Instruc
tor under whom the work was done.
In the west end of the auditorium
there are exhibits from the domestic
science department, pies," cakes,
bread, cookies, Jelly, Jam, canned
fruit, pickles and many other table
delicacies made by the classes in cook
ing, and then they are also many evi
dences of the skill of the girls In
needlecraft, pretty gowns that look
like they came out of the fashion
shop. All of this work was done un
der the supervision of Miss Christy
Mooro. ,. , .
About the walls on all sides and on
tables are the exhibits from the grade
pupils, exhibits In drawing and Indus
trial work such as basket weaving,
clay molding and paper construction.
Many of them are truly wonderful
Miss Adel Poston has charge of this
work In the schools.
By eight o'clock this evening the
candidates for state, county and dis
trict offices of the republican, dem
ocratic and progressive parties will be
decided. All over the state the pri
mary election is going on today and
Indications are that the heaviest dem
ocratic vote In the history of the state
will be cast.
Here In Pendleton weather con
ditions favor a heavy vote but this
morning balloting was very light, es
pecially on the part of the republi
cans. The democrats were turning
out heavily owing to the interest in
the candidacy for governor of Dr. C.
J. Smith. Swearing in of voters has
been going on all day, .the Smith
workers being particularly active.
Many women voters who did not reg
ister are being sworn In.
In precinct 40, the polling place of
which is Burroughs office In the E. O.
building, the judges made a mistake
Ihls morning which necessitated some
of the voters casting two ballots. All
morning they gave out sample ballots
to the democratic voters and did not
discover their mistake until noon. At
that time only 16 democrats hda voted
and they were notified of the mistake
so that they could vote again.
This afternoon the vote Is picking
up and It is predicted that a fairly
heavy vote will be cast. The polls
will not close until 8 o'clock so that
there will be no excuse for anyone
not voting who so dealres.
The city Is quiet today, saloons,
public offices and banks being closed
In conformance with the provisions of
the law.
Portland Vote Hoary
PORTLAND. Ore.. May 15 Early
this afternoon Indications were that
Portland would cast at least a 80 per
cent vote In the primary election.

Zapata, with 5.000 .men, is within' 10
miles of Mexico City. That he will
attack the capital, however, before
Villa has taken altillo Is considered
unlikely as he promised Villa that he
would make no move until the rebel
forces had begun their assault.
Zapata lost no time in preparing
for an attack and his men were busy
in the capital's environs. Whe nword
reached Huerta that Zapata had oc
cupied Topllejo. the dictator sent a
force of federals against him and It
is reported that fighting began late
yesterday afternoon.

were taking no chances on a breach
in Zapata's promise to Villa and all
who possibly could do so were leaving
the city. .
The federal garrison at Tampico Is
understood to have been cut off in Its
retreat and is said to be surrounded by
a strong rebel force. The federals are
reported to be nearly out of ammu

certain. The rebels have sworn
