JALOFF'S IMPORTANT ADDITION TO CURRICULUM, AND A NEW TEACHER IS SOUGHT. Suits, "The Style Store." Cloaks and Millinery The Astoria board of education has decided that it is imperative to secure the services of another teacher for the High School department, and the superintendent has been requstd to endeavor to close a contract with a man in the east who has been seeking to find a place in the Astoria High, There are now 135 pupils in this de partment, while last year at the com mencement of the term there were but 105. The buildings are so lamentably crowded that some means ought to be found, it is said, for more' school room while the number of pupils also re quires that the teaching force be augmented. Superintendent Clark also announc ed last evening that the board has de cided to add another course to the High School curriculum a Commer cial, or Business course. There have heretofore been three courses Latin, English and the Science course. The Commercial will make the fourth, and it is believed that it will be found highly practical -and popular. This Commercial course will include in struction in bookkeeping, stenography and the use of typewriting machines. Commercial arithmetic and kindred subjects will of course be taken up. The High School course is formed to comprise the usual four years' training preparatory to a college or university course. It is planned to have the new Commercial course oc cupy two years, and while taking it the pupils will also have the ordinary studies in algebra, English, history, and the like. At the end of the two years the curriculum will be so form ed that they may then taken up an other course and complete it in two years, thus accrediting them as regu lar graduates o"f the High School. Simlpy to graduate from , the Com mercial course of two years would not accredit the pupil as a graduate of the school. It is believed this new course will prove of much value. Business men and others who are accustomed to employ the services of girls and young men who graduate from the ordinary business college, without a prelimi nary training in other subjects, find that their employees are often exas- peratingly unsatisfactory. A girl who may be able to smash away on a type writer freely enough may not really know when to use a comma instead of a period; while the matters of simplex syntax or of spelling frequently prov mysteries too deep even for utterance Hut in the High School course, the pupils will naturally: be thoroughly grounded in all such matters, and the graduate of the High School Com nercial course should prove at em ployce of much value in any office, Mr. Imel, the new principal, seems io have won the regard and conti dence of the board and the outlook or the public schools is bright. Mr, I met believes in athletics, it is said and he hopes by the development of interest along athletic lines to keep ihe boys in school. Now it is a great trouble to keep the lads at their studies. Hardly have many of them put on long trousers before they want get a job somewhere. Experience all over the United States has abund nntly proven the great wisdom of athletics in the public schools, when carried on in a rational way, and the time may soon come when the As toria boys may feel proud of their connection with the A. H. in an athletic way. But the lack of a "gym1 is sorely felt, and the rainy months will .naturally preclude jll outdoor sports then.' Olson Was Killed by His Companion (Continued from page 1) the shooting. After consulting with the coroner the prosecuting attorney deemed it safe to permit the man to go on his own recognition, and this was done. Hjortland will stay in the city for a day or two, and it is prob able the death of Olsen will be con sidered by the grand jury, though there docs not seem the slight prob ability that any other view of the matter will be taken than the one presented. Acting upon a suggestion of the district attorney, Coroner Gilbaugh last night called jn Dr. A. R. Finch and a post mortem examination of the body was made. , Olsen was 44 years of age. He was unmarried. For 14 years he has lived alone on his little farm. Hjort land lives on an adjoining piece of land. He has been there five years, and for that period the men have been friends and have frequently hunted together. Last Monday they killed a bear. Their places are be- ond the Necanicum postoffice. Wednesday, according to the story told by Hjorteland to the jury at the inquest, he and Olsen started out hunting at 7 o'clock in the morning. They reached a certain steep divide, and it was agreed that Olsen was to remain at the top of this divide while his companion went on the other side and tried to start up any game that might be there. While Hjorteland was making his way along through the heavy brush this being half or three quarters of an hour after he had left Olsen he saw something move in the brush about 200 or 250 feet ahead of him. For a moment or more he watch it, and judging from its "brown" appearance that it was a deer, he raised his 30-30 rifle and fired. Twice he fired, as quick as he could. With a crash the supposed deer toppled down the steep hillside a distance of perhaps 75 feet, though all the time concealed by the heavy brush. Then raising his voice Hjorteland says he called for Olsen to come, and several times he whistled shrilly for him. But there was no reply. Hjorteland says he then laboriously went down the steep place to where the supposed deer was lying and there he was horrified to discover the dead body of his friend and comrade. A mile and a half away lies the nearest farm house, and Hjorteland states that he hastened there at the top of his speed. From that point it was over. eight miles to the near est telephone and a messenger was dispatched to acquaint the coroner of the slaying of the man. Such, in substance, was the story told by Hjorteland to the coroner's jury yes terday. He was stricken with grief and horror at the sad affair. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict of "accidental death," and added this clause: "We exonerate the said Johannes Hjorteland from all blame." , -The jury was composed of Her man Ahlers, George Dragolich, El mer H. Robarts, M. F. Bowman, Alex C. Brown. The investigation was conducted by Mr. Gilbaugh, and ap parently the matter was gone - into vith great thoroughness. But every thing simply tended to corroborate the simple story told by the only 1EK Of ft ET"3 a OF Carpets, Matting's and Liraol j Mattings of every grade and price j per yard 10c .

The distance of the scene of the laying from here is about 33 miles. Mr. Gilbaugh drove there, leaving here about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and arriving there shortly after 8 o'clock. The roads were in excellent hape all the way, he states. The post mortem last night by Dr. Finch disclosed that the bullet had entered the left breast at the third rib, and had passed through the body until it struck the spinal cord. I his was severed by the bullet, and death, therefore, was instantaneous. Of the two shots fired by Hjorteland only this one had struck. Olsen's death i-i to be added to the long list of similar slayings by hunt ers in Oregon. ...A WORD TO THE WISE... kA fresh sepply of Lindcnberger's delicious Smoked Sturgeon Just in, but it will go out fast.
