Kugeue with a population of 6ooo has a high school attendance of 218 while Portland with twenty times the population has only 1057 in its high school, so says the Reg ister. Whore does the stretching come, in the population of Eugene or of Portland? Albany Democrat: J. J. Davis has kept a record of the number of sheep killed by dogs around A l bany, and reports that during the past year 442 sheep have been killed within a radius of five miles of Albany by dogs. That most of the dogs have been from Albany and that 30 or 40 have bit the dust on account of their depredations Some iarinors have lo«t all the sheep they had.

Wells lor $25,000; Mr. Kincaid has also purchased a half block on Ninth street together with Phil Metschan for $32,500.

Portland is in hopes of securing the National Educational Associ ation Convention for next July, and have been doing themselves proud in entertaining N. C. Schaeffer, president and J. B. Wilkinson, vice president of that organization. It would be quite a feather in Port land’s cap to get the convention next year, with all the cities that are after the convention. the present compulsory education law, which he says is ot no avail. He makes the following statements: “ I am at work on an amendment to the law which I shall try to have passed by the next legislature, fix ing the responsibility for the en forcement of compulsory education. The number of children who do not attend school is very large through the rural communities, and the in fluence of idlers nullifies the work of the studious. “ Idle hands quickly become wicked hands. I would not mind the absence of rural children from schools so much if they were work ing and were physically able to do the work, but in a majority of cases they aiedoiug nothing and after a few years of freedom from toil it will be impossible to educate them. “The rural school problem iu Ore gon is especially bard because of the unsettled character of a large percentage of the population. “ We hope to establish additional county high schools soon. The The five counties possessing these higher institutions have demon strated the need ot them all over Oregon. “ By holding state institutes iu all parts of the state we are trying to give the teachers a course of in struction «specially adapted for their woik in country communities, and especially iu the revised courses <>f ilist!iici 1011 that have been re cently adopted. ‘‘ The financial condition o f the schools is very satisfactory. B en e ficial r< suits have followed the pas sage of the law mak tig >t m iud a- tory tor the county courts to levy larger taxes for the support ot the schools.
