Henderson, of the Portland High School, will direct the course and teach geometry, arithmetc, grammar and al gebra. He has arranged the teachng schedule in such a way as to give each student several periods a day In which to pursue subjects upon which he or she wishes to specialize. English lit erature which, for the first time has been made a prominent requirement for teaching, will be under the direction of Prof. S. F. Ball, Principal of the Atkin son School, of Portland. The addition of H. H. Belt.

ASK TO SEE THE DOLLY MADISON PATTERN Manufacturing Jewelers, Com0 TWa and Jewelers, Opticians (THE BIG STORE.) JOHN HAYS HAMMOND Writer Recalls How Former Was Freed From Treason Charge. EUGENE. Or.. June 13. (To the Editor.) During the past few days I notice that John Hays Hammond, the noted mining man, has been mentioned aa a possible candidate for Vice-President on the Re publican ticket with Secretary of War W. H. Taft. It may not be known to many of our people, but it Is a fact that Mr. Ham mond had a very close call for his life over a dozen years ago, and nothing but prompt action by his friends and high officials of this Government saved him. In the Spring of 1896, Dr. Jameson, with a band of armed men, entered the Trans vaal, South Africa, to help the Ultlanders, and Mr. Hammond was working in the mines there and accompanied him. The raid was a failure, the raiders were taken prisoners and President Kruger was in favor of giving Mr. Hammond the death penalty at short notice. About this time. W. B. Lawler, an old friend of the writer, and of Mr. Ham mond, had Just arrived In New Tork City from London, England, where he had Just made a deal to work some big gold mines on the Santlam River in this state. The moment Mr. Lawler heard the news of Mr. Hammond's capture, he Immedi ately dropped all business, hurried to Washington, D. C, conferred with the Pacific Coast Senators and Representa tives and the President, and a cablegram was sent to "Oora Paul." President of the South' African Republic, that John Hays Hammond wan an American citi zen and asked a halt In the proceedings until an investigation could be had. This Important dispatch, sent and signed by, President Cleveland", had the desired effect, and sentence was delayed for some time. Mr. Hammond lay very sick in an African prison, but had the good for tune to be cared for by his wife, who successfully nursed him through a pain ful Illness. After various delays and trials, Mr. Hammond was fined a large sum of money and upon signing an agree ment to leave the country and never come back, he was allowed to return to his native land and has for some time been employed at a very large salary In superintending extensive gold mines for the Guggenheims, in Alaska. Nothing but this prompt action of his friend, Mr. Lawler, saved Mr. Hammond's life, for those were stirring times in the South African gold fields, where, later on, thousands of Britain's brave soldiers met death In conquering the sturdy Boers.
