JALOFF'S
IMPORTANT ADDITION TO
CURRICULUM, AND A NEW
TEACHER IS SOUGHT.

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

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

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.

ers in Oregon.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Major W.
L. Kenly, of the fifth fild artilelry,
who has been in command of the re
cruiting service in Brooklyn and Jer
sey City since October has found that
in spite of his efforts to induce men to
join the army, they are not as eager
to do so now as they were up to the
nonth of August.
"There is always a tailing snori m
the number of applications just be
fore a presidential election, said Ma
jor Kenly. ".But of course, Jt is more
marked now because of the large
number enlisted betwen December and
May. The number of acceptances
averages from one fourth to one fifth
of the number of aplicants. .

began to try new methods for getting
men. nenry smitn, pant comuiiiun-
