HARDWOOD LUMBER FOR THE CHICA-
GO MARKET. We see that Mesars. Rand
are getting out for shipment to Chicago
large lot of oak lumber, and this re-
minds us that we know of man of
wealth residing in Waukesha county,
who is prepared to buy section of hard
timber land thirty miles west of Mani
towoc, on the line of our proposed Rail
road and to put fifty men to work in
getting out slaves, spokes, and plank,
rs soon as the road is finished to that
point, so that he can get the products of
such labor to this point for shipment
South and East. There is any quantity
of splendid oak, maple and pine timber
between this point and Menasha, that
will be worked up for market rs soon as
the Railroad is completed. More than
two thousand men would be employed
in this trade within eighteen months
from the completion of the Road, and
TINS bring large amount of capital and
business into this region. What is the
Railroad management about that we
hear nothing of this enterprise-upon
the success of which our prosperity de
pends? We hope to hear something
good from them soon.

@. Seymour has submitted his report
OF the schools of Polk county for the

daily attendance for the whole county
was only 2164, or about 1876 per cent.
The following schools are placed on
the roll of honor for attendance, hav-
ing made percent of 95 or more :
Polk Station, Butler, Upper Salt Creek

1t might perhaps be a revelation
and likewise rebuke to the misin-
formed character who is always max
ing ill-chosep jests 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
of being what it should be at this
time. The average rainfall should be
1886 inches according to the precedent
Of the past 81 years, 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.
