w, T. Harris, u. 8. commissioner oil
education, has written Superintendent Holm
for photographs of pupils and shool build
ings in Benton county. These he wishes to

The Alssa school picnic that was to have
occurred on the 18th Of last month was
postponed until today, at which time, the
weather permitting, very interesting pro
gram will be rendered. Among the speak

eloquent and interesting speaker and will
doubtless furnish his audience much food

he is extensively interested. He reports
