SCHOOL BOARD SELECTS
NEW PRINCIPAL AND
MAKES PREPARATIONS
After releasing H. Omar Dennett,
the Indiana man previously elected
principal of the local high school, the
school board in a meeting Monday
night made their fifth election of the
year, and now believe the position to
be filled permanently. Prof. Dennett
was rejected upon finding that an
agreement could not be reached as to
tlie subjects he would be required to
teach. Prof. J. M. Morgan, of Iowa,
now attending the University of Cali
fornia, has been accepted and will
receive the highest salary ever paid
hv a local hoard. He will get $lf00(
which was his own price, and the
board believes the increase warranted
in view of the recommendations that
have been received. The hoard has
bad considerable difficulty in getting
a man who would .handle the
mathematical department, and in ad
dition to preferring this branch of
the curriculum, Mr. Morgan is rec
ommended as nn all around man.
The board also considered the
resignation of ono of the teachers in
the grades who is believed to have
matrimonial intentions, and the fill
ing of the vacancy from a number of
applications at hand. Routine mat
ters in preparation for the schools for
the fall term were also discussed, and
it is generally agreed that the equip
ment is in better condition than ever
before.

Near Canyonville
The Oregon Supremo Court today
reversed the decision of the lower

to this interest in tiie estate through

j lire that the deeds, under which Her
man Marks claimed to be the owner
i of the interests of all the foreign
heirs, had since been set aside.
' The case was tried In the Circuit
Court here and Judge Harris banded
down a decision to the effect that the
! plaintiff was entitled to a one-ninth
j Interest in the property contended in
ithe suit. Attorney A. X. Orcutt, who
represented Wilson, ialer appealed
the case to the Supreme Court, with
; the result that the decision of Judge
i H arris was reverse!. Attorney C.
is. Jackson appeared for the plaintiff.
