we take the following:
Average number belonging during
the year: Boys, S34.1; girls, SSH;
total 17212.
Average daily attendance of boys,
1871; girls, $3.50; total 1878.
This is better than was expected
considering the serious interruption,
occasioned by diphtheria, small pox,
mumps, measles and whooping cough.
1t will be impossible to have another
such epidemic of humps for several
years as we passed through the last
term for the reason that so large
per cent ofthe children now in school
are immune.
The per cent attendance on the
average number belonging for the
year was 91.99. The entire number
of visits by patrons was 1862 and
visits to patrons by superintendent
and teachers, 247.
The average number neither abb
sent nor tardy by months during the
year was 7l4.9.
1t is gratifying to report that tard-
mess was reduced to S75 cases for
the year. That is 245 less than last
year and the 1920 cases reported last
year were less by AIS than any pre-
vious year as shown by the records
extending back to 1867.
The following pupils of the High
school were neither absent nor tardy
during the year:

porter who was on the train with Mr.
Bryan on his trip from the north en-
route to Chicago.
Asked his opinion about the Phila
delphia platform, Col. Bryan said:
"The Philadelphia platform is the best
evidence thus far given of the deception
attempted by the republican party.
Taken In connection with the speeches
made at the convention, it shows that the
republican party's platform of 1896 was
deliberate fraud as far as the promises
of international bimetallism were con.
cerned; that the party's attitude on the
trust question is insincere, and that the
party is not willing to state It's attitude
on the Philippine question and invite the
judgment Of the people. Nothing was
more manifest in the convention than the
military spirit, and yet the convention did
not dare indorse the demand of the pres
ident in 1898. for standing army Of 1OO.-
900 men"

Eddyville Tribune: The commun-

the report that George Besco had
dropped dead at his home on North
Third street. Mr.. Besco had been on
the streets scarcely an hour before
apparently in usual health. He went
across the river to bring his COW
from pasture and was out in the
severe storm that passed over about
five O'Clock. He went home and af-
Ter changing his wet clothes laid
down on the couch and complained
of slight pain in the region of the
heart. As he was subject to this no
alarm was felt that he was in any
immediate danger. Mrs. Besco, at
his request, went to the barn for
some purpose, and upon her return
found that he had passed away.

and Later Turns to Rain-Wet
weather Predicted.

Just enough snow to whiten the ground
fell yesterday afternoon Later the wealth
er moderated and the snow, turned. first
to sleet and later to a cold, driZzling rain.
The snowfall was the result of a sudden
rise In the temperature and was in ac-
cordance with the prediction made on
the day previous by Observer Woliaber.
of the local weather bureau. His forecast
was for a higher temperature, accompa-
MED BY rain or snow.
For today officer Wollabsr would yeSter-
day make no forecast, the data received
by him being scant and the weather con-
ditions too unsettled TO justify predic-
ton without full knowledge of conditions
throughout the Northwest. From the
Portland office. however last night. a tele-
graphic forecast OF continued rains for to-
day all over the Puget sound basin was re-
ceived.
Observer wollaber explains that the
snowstorm of yesterday was due TO the
continued eastward movement of the high
or pressure area that on the day before
was towering over Northern Montana.
This allowed low pressure area to come
in from the Pacific. and the snowfall and
subsequent rain was the result
Observer Wollaber does not look for
colder weather Immediately. and is inclin-
ed TO think that storm OF wind and rain
is coming in from the Pacific. The fall
ing barometer here and at points all along
the coast, he says. seems to Indicate the
advent of such a storm.

HOPE is HELD OUT.
President Hill Looking Into the
Okanoga Line.

During the past few months there has
been much talk regarding the construction
of line of railroad from the Okanogan
district to the Republic mining camps.
The Great Northern railway has been re-
ported as contemplating the building of the
line
The following letter from Mr.. Hin to the
Republic Miner defines the intentions OF
the road:
THE Republic Miner. Republic, Wash:
I am In receipt OF your letter OF the 9th
instant and beg to say in reply that we
have been examining the Wenatchee and
Okanogan line between the Okanogan dis
trict and Republic. Like all other min
eral districts covering a large area, the
bulk of the ore is low grade, and In order
10 handle IL to good advantage the rate
OF transportation must be low, and low
rates can only be made where the grade
is such as to allow a heavy load.
THE samples OF coal We have seen from
the fields north of Chelan and west OF the
Okanogan river indicate a good quality Of
coal which, II proven to be the case when
the Geld Is open. will be OF great advau-
tage to- the entire district south of the in
ternational boundary line, as both coal
and coke can he laid down at much lower
prices than from the Crows Nest or else
where.
I'VE hope TO commence work on that
line the coming season. Yours truly
