POLK COUNTY'S FIRST SCHOOL
Monument Marking Schoolhouse Site
Will Be Unveiled, Saturday, -May
16.
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.
The school was opened in 1845 in
Colonel Nathaniel Ford's log cabin,
which was located about one-quarter
of a mile west of the present town of
Rlckreall. John E. Lyle, who was
later one of the principal promoters in
founding LaCreole Academy at Dal
las, was the first teacher, and the list
of his pupils was as follows: Jose
phine, Caroline, Sarah and Miller
Ford ; Pauline, Caroline and Marion
Goff ; Theodore and Amanda Tharp;
Thomas V. B., Mary and Marcus
Embree; John and Anne Howard;
Elmer Wood, William Davis and
Gertrude Applegate.
Of these, only six are now living:
Dr. T. V. B. Embree, Marcus Embree,
Mrs. Josephine (Ford) Boyle, Mrs.
Mary (Embree) Hayter, of Dallas,
John Howard, of Harney county, and
Anne (Howard) Allen, of Crook county.
Tbe survivors who still reside in
Polk county will be present at the
picnic as the honored guests of the
2000 school children who represent the
development of the educational sys
tern of which these four were pioneers.
The monument will be unveiled by one
of tbe pupils of the first school, who
will also deliverthe occasional address
Superintendent H. C. Seymour, the
originator ot the idea, is using every
effort to have the best program ever
given in , Polk county, and will
endeavor to secure the presence of the
most prominent educators of the state,
The program will be participated in by
children representing every public
school in the county. State Superin
tendent Ackerman will deliver an
address, and George H. Himes, of
Portland, will represent the Oregon
Historical Society.
This celebration is designed as a
tribute not to the pioneers of Polk
county alone, but of the whole state,
in that it will commemorate the be
ginning from which has developed
the present educational system which
ranks Oregon among the foremost
states of tbe Union.
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.

fishing's fine." I tell you winter has
its good points, but I like to see Easter
