Friday night and has been at it

water is the proper thing all over
western Oregon this week.
The tax levy this year is over
four mills higher than last which

hurt the county if an additional
two mills had been added to the
road tax.

deposit has attracted attention of
outside capital, says the Bulletin.

had no tardies during the month:
Smithfield, Bridgeport, Valley
View, Gooseneck, Rickreall,
Upper Salt Creek, Enterprise,
Etna, Concord, Liberty, Rock

The attendance for the month
of December was not as good as
for the months preceding, and I
wish that all teachers, parents,
and school officers, and children
would try and bring the attend
ance back to the 95 per cent we
are trying to maintain.
This report should have been
published the last week in Dec.
but several teachers were slow in
sending in the reports and some
through the pleasures of the
holidays forgot that there were
reports to be mailed and so my
report has been delayed.
