It froze a little every night for the
past, week, but days are bright, with
some wind. If the frost would leave
with a lain, our kale and cauliflower
might come out pretty good, other
wise they will freeze in a few days
more, but we are enjoying the bright
days and good roads, free from mud

A baby girl arrived at the home of
August Delkar last Saturday.
Mrs. Mient Peters, who is with her
daughter, Mrs. Shipley, at Willamette
and seemed to be getting a little bet
ter since being removed there a few
weeks ag, is reported this wek as
not being as well. She is under the
care of Dr. Strickland. Her's is a
peculiar case, as she has not been
able to taste anything for a number
of years, and she is but a shadow of
her former self, although she is able
to be up a part of the time.
Mrs. Boekman returned to her
daughter's house, Mrs. Claus Peters,

- - Joe Nemec did not take a contract
to rent a hop field, and returned to

A so-called mass meeting was call
ed at the school house last. Saturday
evening to decide a "tempest in a
tea pot." It appears that the teach
er had brought up the idea which has
been worked out in Polk county, of
trying to stimulate boys and girls in
home industry, by giving a half holi-i
day at the end of every month to all
who had lived up to the requirements,
which were that all living within a
mile of the school should work will
ingly 45 minutes, two miles 35 min
utes, and three miles 25 minutes,
they should keep their own time, thus
putting them upon their honor, and
the last day of every week the par
ents or guardians should examine the
report, and if correct, sign it and
send to him, and those- who had thus
earned it should have a half holiday
at the end of the month, under his
supervision, that is, they should ob
serve and treasure in incidents of
those hours to be used in writing
their essays, thus teaching them hab
its of observation and the art of ex
pressing themselves on paper. Some
one had started the mistaken idea
that Mr. Larkins wanted to give mon
ey prizes at the close of school, and
take said money from the public
school fund, hence the mass meeting,
and the sitting down hard on all
things excepts the three R's: read-
in', ritin' and ritmatic, but we feel
assured if the people had understood
the proposition they would have tried
to work hand in hand with teachers
for all things which would be of int
erest to the pupils

The Spring energy of the ranchers
has been awkened by a week of bright
sunshine. These are tokens of an
abundant year. Even in the frosty
nights that succeed these days of
sunshine. The nightly cold retards
the growth of the fruit buds, which,
without the check, would be opening
too early for safety in the spring
frosts. The sunshine is rapidly dry
ing up the flooded roads and prepar
ing the fields for the plow. Those
unerring prophets, the song birds,
are filling the air with their tuneful
promise, of an early spring. Con
