STATE SUPERINTENDENT ISSUES
CIRCULAR OF INFORMATION.
Applicants for Certificates Must
Make Careful Study of Speci
fied Works to Qualify.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 5. (Special.)
Superintendent J. H. Ackerman Is
sending out a circular giving the
sources of examination ques
tions for the year 1909. Special
attention Is called to those In literature.
One year ago the plan was adopted
of basing fifty per cent of the ques
tions in this subject upon certain
English classics, three for each exami
nation to be chosen from the required
list in the state high school course of
study.
The purpose of this requirement Is
to cause teachers to master at least
three classics before attempting to
teach. Such questlonB are asked that
It is impossible for an applicant to be
successful unless he has made a care
ful study of the specified works.
Manuscripts from the recent state ex
aminations show that the desired re
sults are being obtained.
Teachers are making a study of the
writings of the authors- about whom
they are to teach, and are dropping
the old-time method of memorizing
long lists of names, and dates of
births and deaths.
Following are the source of ques
tions: Arithmetic One-fifth from State

BELLINGHAM. Wash.. Sept. 6. (Spe
cial.) A desire to treat his sweetheart to
the best In the land and the conviction
he could not do this on the salary made

CARRIES ALASKA SALMON
Steamer North King Arrives at As
toria From Nushagak. River.
ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 6. (Special.) The
steamer North King, tender for the Portland-Alaska
Packers' Association's can
nery at Nushagak River, Alaska, arrived
in this afternoon. F. A. Dealey, manager
of the association's cannery, was on
board. He reports a most successful sea
son and 57,000 cases of salmon, of which
iS'OO cases are Alaska reds, were put up.
The North King sailed from Nushagak
on August 21. after towing out the ship
Berlin, which is bringing down the can
nery crew and pack.
On the day that the Berlin sailed, the
Moore, the last of'the Alaska. Packers'

the balance of the salmon fleet had de
parted prior to that time.
In the Bering Sea the North King en
countered s trans head winds. but on
reaching the Pacific a westerly breeze
was picked up. It is expected the Berlin
was delayed by the adverse winds before
reaching the pass, so she will probably,
not arrive here for several days yet.

KILLED BY CONTACT
Live Wire QuicklyEnds Life of
Baker City Man.
SECOND MISHAP OF DAY
Curiosity 'About " Wire Which
Shocked Deaf Mute Costs Glenn
Saunders' LifeBride of
Two Months Widowed. i
BAKER CITY. Or., Sept. 5. (Spe
cial.) This evening at 7 o'clock Charles
Shannon, a deaf and dumb boy, came
in contact with an electrio light pole
on the corner of First and Center
streets and was knocked to the ground.
After some little effort he was re
suscltatel and taken to his home.
Within twenty minutes afterward Bert
Spalding met Glen W. Saunders and
his father, on the opposite side of the
street and were engaged In discussing1
the accident when the suggestion was
made that they go over and look at
the pole. ,
This they did, when Mr. Saunders
touched the wire with the end of his
fingers and uttered a groan and was dead.
His fingers adhered to the wire until
his father and Mr. Spalding pulled him
away. Physicians were called and used
every means known to .science to restore
life without avail. A jury was empaneled
Immediately, and after hearing the tes
timony, returned the following verdict:
"That said Glen W. Saunders came to
his death by an electric shock caused by
coming In contact with a live wire or
cable used to raise and lower the street
light on First and Center streets."
The whole city was thrown into a
state of excitement as a result of the
two accidents coming so closely to
gether. The electric light company
could give no reason for the charge of
electricity In the wire leading to the
reel on the pole.
Mr. Saunders was a young married
man In the employ of the Baer Mer
cantile Company, and was highly re
spected. He leaves a widow, to whom
he was married but two and a half
months ago.
DH OUT BY GDUEARS
GOVERNMENT SIGNAL
ABANDONS POST.
MAN
Flashes Heliograph Message for Aid.
Engineer on Survey Sends
Firearms for Defense.
NEWPORT, Or., Sept. S. (Special.) G.
S. Hill, assistant engineer of the United
States Geodetic Survey, was almost de
feated In his plans for making a survey
of Lincoln County this week, by cougars.
The story told by one of his subordinates,
who made a hurried trip to Newport for
firearms. Is, redolent of blood and hair
breadth escapes. Carl Tillotson, stationed
on Table Mountain, just south of Yaquina
Bay, Is tho central personage In the
trouble that threatened to balk a whole
Government project.
In order to make the survey complete
Engineer Hill had to resort to the helio
graph. He stationed men on Bald Moun
tain, on Table Mountain and on a moun
tain Just back of Beaver Creek," who were
to receive and send signals by reflectors.
The man on Table Mountain, which is a
rugged butte rising to a height of over
1700 feet, was young Tillotson. Tlllotson's
orders were explicit. He was to watch
for signals, transmit them diligently and
at the same time reply to all questions
addressed to him. Chief Hill was satis
fled that all was well on Table Mountain
before he left for the northern end of the
county.
Almost Immediately Bald Mountain
failed to "find" Table Mountain, though
the heliograph was worked overtime.
Chief Hill perspired and wondered. A day
later Table Mountain woke up and began
sending unmistakable signals of distress.
A man was dispatched to see what the
matter was. The messenger found Tillot
son in a cabin at the foot of the moun
tain. He swore cougars had attacked him
the night before and that he would not
return. However, wilh a companion, he
went back to his lonely post and it was.
soon reported to Hill that Table Mountain
was again working.
But the next day the heliograph failed
to rouse Tillotson. After waiting two
days, Hill sent a registered letter by the
mail carrier to find out what the matter
was. He soon learned that his men had
again been frightened away by cougars,
which. It appears, resort to a huge rock
near the new station - to sharpen their
claws and made the night generally hide
ous. The Table Mountain station Is an abso
lute necessity for the completion of the
survey and Chief Hill has ordered that it
be held at all cost. A rush order for fire
arms was sent to Newport and Toledo
and Tillotson and .a companion are now
fortified and holding the mountain against
cougars.
