School Report For County.
County School Superintendent H
C.Seymour has submitted his report
of the schools of Polk county for the
month ending January 22, a few of
the more important and interesting
features of which follow. The record
of attendance for the month was
hardly up to the usual average owing
to the extremely bad weather during
the month, which made it impossible
for many children, especially in the
rural districts, to attend. The average
daily attendance for the whole county
was only 2164, or about 83.6 per cent.
The following schools are placed on
the roll of honor for attendance, hav
ing made a percent of 95 or more:
Polk Station, Butler, Upper Salt Creek
(100), and Rock Creek. The follow
lng schools were placed on the roil of
honor for having bad no tardies dur
ing the month : Smtthfleld, Bridge
port, Fairview, Butler, Antioch,
Spring Valley, Upper Salt Creek,
Montgomery, Etna, Fir Grove, Lone
Stur, Pioneer, Rock Creek, Pleasant
View.
List of New Members.
Following are the names of the new
members acquired by the LaCreole
club during its membership cam

It might perhaps be a revelation
and likewise a rebuke to the misin
formed character who is always mak
ing ill-chosen jest? at the expense
of the climate of Oregon, to know
that in spite of the fact that both
January and February have been
stormy months, the precipitation still
lacks about four and one-half inches
ot being what it should be at this
time. The average rainfall should be
28.86 Inches according to the precedent
of the past 37 yearn, but up-to-date
only 24.42 inches have fallen. The
months of January and February
have been months of heavy rain,
however, and if the precipitation con
tinues as it has since the beginning
of this month there will be but little
deficiency remaining on the ushering
in of March.
