The entire number Of scholars attending
school during last school month was ~;
average daily attendance, 81; average
number belonging, g.; percentage Of at
tendance on average number belonging, s..
Thetfollowing named scholars we're per-
feet in behavior: Martin lnnes, Mamie
Dinglsy, Mary Innes, Alma 'rhorp and
Carrie Carter. The average attendance
was low owing to considerable sickness
among the scholars. The school is very
full now and averaging over sixty, daily.
We hope the parents will assist us in keep.
ing 1t up. NJ. f. CARTER,
ANNA COFFIN.
The attention Of parents is called to the
necessity Of sending their children to
school, promptly on time in the morning, It
is not only annoying 10 the teachers but it
also interferes with the exercises to have
scholars come in after the opening Of
school. Parents are, therefore, respectful.
ly requested to have their children at
school in time for the opening hour.
Notice Of the time for reopening the
school will be given through this paper.

honored and ENJOYABLE events viz: "a

we're each presented with a measuring

minutes, by the watch, the quilt was pro-
nounced finished. Mr.. Daniel Chapman
assisted by Miss Coffin having the honor
Of ti.inx the last knot. With one accord the
fruit OF their labors was fred into a corner
and all proceeded to enjoy themselves as
much as the limited space Of the apartment
would permit, various games being inter
spersed by some excellent music on the
guitar by MIR. Whips. After sumPtnous
repast the company broke up eac" bearing
as reward Of merit, darning needle and

We learn that the much talked Of com.
promise between the Union Pacific, and
Northern Pacific, has at length became a
matter of fact. A. we understand It, a
three rail track accommodating the gauge
of the N. p. and U. & N. will be laid from
Blackfoot to Silver Bow, taking the route
up the Big Hole. From Silver Bow the
two companies will continue the three rail
track on to Deer Lodge, and 1t Is reason.
able to infer that oil important branches In
the Territory will be constructed In like
manner. This programme Il carried out
will do away with the big bore at Mullen

of railroad competition in freight rates,

binatiOn, that sooner or later was sure to
be made.
