The school picnio to be held atRick reall, Saturday, May 16, will be in commemoration of tbe first school founded in Oregon, and a monument will be unveiled at that time marking the spot where the old log schoolhouse stood 63 years ago.

BENNETS BODY FOUND Remains of Victim of Dynamite Ex plosion Discovered by Fisher man, Saturday. Henry Dolaney, while fishing on Mill Creek near Gooseneok, Saturday, found what is believed to be the remains of Harry Bennet, who was killed by dynamite explosion in November, 1906. The body of Mr. Hill, who was killed in the same accident, was re covered within a short time after It occurred, but no trace of Bennet could be found although a most thorough seareh was made. Believing that the bones he had found were those of the missing man, Delaney had Coroner Chapman sum moned from Dallas at once. The skull and one arm were missing, but a close examination showed that it was the skeleton of a young but fully matured man. Bennet was about 19 years of age when he was killed and was a man of mature development. In view of that fact it was finally decided that the bones must be tbe remains of the unfortunate man, although absolute identification was impossible. The funeral was held at Buell, Sun day, under the auspices of the Wood men of the World, of which lodge Bennet had been a member. He is survived by a mother and several brothers and sisters.
