in town day before yesterday and re
ports that there is very little going
on in that section at present.
Tin- Silver Wave, which departed
front lvet walik on the morning of Aug
ust 30, is due here at present but is
probably lying in the shelter of Sledge
waiting for the storm to subside.
Relative to the non-appearance of j
the new principal and school teachers, |
a member of the school board states
that it has happened twice before in j
the history of the local schools that the j
b . . * rs did not show up until after
the i ilia! time for opening the term.
Mr. K. I„ Carpenter, the war depart
ment engineer, was engaged this af
ternoon with his assistants in secur
ing additional data relative to the
harbor project. It is understood that
the work is directed toward learning
what changes were worked on the bar
ami channel by the storm.
With the assistance of one of the
Howe teams, the launch Defiance,
which landed on the bench yesterday
while trying to leave the river mouth j
to meet the cutter Bear, was hauled
across the sandspit and deposited in
the peaceful waters of Snake river.
The stout launch suffered no partieulat
injury as a result of its experience in
the heavy brakers.
Aided to a great extent by the
strong southerly wind, the steamer
1'mati 1 In bent the calculations as to
the hour of arrival by an hour or
more yesterday afternoon and dropped
anchor in 1he roadstead about six
thirty. Because of the strong surf no
effort was made to reach the vessel j
and the passengers were compelled to
remain on board.

As t li<- mi me of the new principal of I
Hie Nome school is not contained in
the list of passengers sailing on the
Victoria, received here, there is much
speculation as to when the school will
open. As the regular passenger steam
ers will not leave Seattle on the next
trip until the middle of the present
month it commences to appear that
school will not start until sometime
close to the first of October, unless Ihe
missing pedogogue catches a freighter,
which Is hardly likely to happen.
('apt. Boss with ihe const guard!
crow made the trip to the Bear this j
morning in spite of the heavy surf.
The slurl was made from the station
ml the passage of the dory through
he breakers on the bar attracted con
siderable attention. The surf line was
cleared without mishap, although the
■>oat at times appeared to standing on
end as the bow was lifted by the foatn
DK surges.
The big ditch of the Pioneer Min
ing Company broke several days ago,
considerably diminishing the volume of
the mining activities on [attic creek,
but has been repaired again and
things are again going forward. Par
ties arriving in town today say that
'the ,rain last night has tilted the
streams with an ample supply of wa
ter for mining needs and work is go
ing on full blast at all points.
Ed Young of the Nevada returned
from a fishing trip to the Iron and
Pilgrim river sections last night,
bringing a fine assortment of Polly
Varden and graying to testify to his
skill as an aglcr. Included among his
catch was one fine specimen of the
Polly Verdcn trout measuring nearly
wo feet in length.. Mr. Young says
that the fishing was fine with bites
aplenty to reward the industrious
fisherman.

The Millionaire Engineer at the
Eagle hall Sunday nighl is ttie sen
sational film of the year. Its produc
tion created a sensation, its realism is
sensational and its cost is sensational
as well. King Maggot drives a loco
motive through a real burning forest
to rescue orphans from a real burn
ing mansion, is an orphan asylum and
wherein the actors and actresses all
escape death by a narrow margin in
an effort after realistic effects tiiat
proved just too real. It is the story of
i millionaire railroad owner who is
faced with a strike upon the eve of
his marriage. It's some photoplay in
two reels of intensely dramatic story.
It is supported on the program by an
:i-Ko comedy which is a clever skit
upon the police and gangsters, entitl
ed, "Zip and his Gang,” while "Can
celled" a strong western drama con
cludes the bill.
Inquiry at the office of the Alaska ]
Lighterage Company shortly before :i
this afternoon failed to elicit any in
formation as to when the mail would
he brought ashore. The only statement
Hint could be obtained was that no
definite time could be given.
The const guard crew tinder tlie di
rection of Capt. Tom Boss, landed the
first passenger from the I'matilla about
two this afternoon. The venturesome
person was b. Seidonverg. None of
the others aboard the liner eared to
make the trip through the foaming
surf. Mr. Walter Shields was also
brought in from the cutter Bear, to
gether with northern mail. The two
men were landed at Barrack Square In
masterly manner, the negotiation of
the surf being watched by a large
erowtl which loudly applauded the dis
play of skillful seamanship of the life
savers.

AEROS BOMBARD
BULGARIAN CAMP
International News Service.
SALONIKA. Sept. 2.—A headquar
ters statement today announces that
the Bulgarian military camp at Saro
vich was heavily bombarded by a
squadron of allied aeroplanes yester
day.
The attack was successful and re
sulted in the destruction of several
supply depots and the killing of one
hundred and fifty Bulgarian soldiers.
The plane squadron returned to its
base without suffering injury.
The lighting along the Dorian front
continues with the greatest intensity
and with both sides conducting a
heavy great gun bombardment.
Owing to the mountainous charac
ter of the country, progress through
the Struma region is slow and the
Bulgarians arc lighting savagely to
maintain their defensive lines.

ORIENTAL MAIL ROUTE
CHANGED ACCOUNT
OF CENSORSHIP
International Nows Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. A post-'
office department announcement today
states that tlie department!
has decided to discontinue the
routing of United States malls de
stined for the Orient through Van
couver because of the censorship im
posed liy the Canadian government
some months ago.
The change in routing is the out
come of numerous complaints reach
ing the department relative to the ac
tion of the Canadian authorities in
opening mail matter passing through
Vancouver both from the United States
■id Oriental points.
Some of the complaints received by
Hie department declare that important
business communications having no
bearing on the European conditions
have been censored by the Canadian
censors to the degree that severe busi
ness embarrassments and oflimes
losses have been caused Ihe corre
spondents. In the absence of Ameri
can steamship lines plying between
I'" et Sound and the Oriental ports, it
is probable that the department will
lorwurd the mails through San Fran
i it co.
BERLIN FIGURES ALLIES

International News Service.
HKR1J.V, Sept. In an official
summary of tho military situation, the
war office professes the belief that the
allies, will soon grow tired of the
struggle to dispossess the Germans i
owing to their manifest inability to |
make more than indifferent progress!
in any direction. j
It is admitted that the situation of
Austria is somewhat perilous but it is j
also pointed out that the approach of j
winter will soon make the Carpath- I
inns almost impassable and check the
Russian progress beyond the territorial
confines of Galicia.
The statement declares that there is
hardly a prospect that the Russians
will ever be able to operate effectively |
in the Hungarian seetftm, either!
through the Galicia or Roumanian ter
ritories, owing to the great difficulty
of securing transportation facilities
sullicient to support the large armies
necessary to maintain a formidable
aggressive. Respecting the situation
of the Germans, the statement says
that the Russians have made no head
waj along four fifths of the eastern
front and have nowhere regained more
than a Rifling portion of the immense
section of territory held by the Ger
mans, although exerting the maximum
of their strength at every point for
months.
Against the Hindenberg armies, the
Slavs have made little or no impres
sion at any time since the commence
ment of the present offensive, save In
the marshy district of Volhynia.
Along the western lines the Franco
Rritish forces have battered at the
German lines for weeks without dis
turbing the tenure of the German hold
in the least. Gains have been made
hut none of sufficient extent to more
than dent the firmly planted German
lines although weeks have been spent
in terrific fighting, accompanied by an
enormous waste of resources.
