UNEXPECTED TopPLING OF

William McCray an old resident oI

IN Astoria, was probably instantly
killed while working on the county
road at Svenson sometime before
moon yesterday He was grubbing out
m old dead tree, that was decaycd
around the roots unknown 10 Me
Cray. The tree fell, striking him on
the head and il is thought he was
killed instantly He was working all
alone n the time, and just how the
accident happened Is not known save
by Inference. The, accident occurred
sometime between 10 o'clock and
noon. He was not missed until time
for dinner. aud when he failed to put
in his appearance as usual for his
midday meal, his fellow workmen
became alarmed and several OF them
started search for him thinking that
perhaps he had met with a naecident.
Their suspicious we're fully relied,
for upon arriving on the scene they
found the unfortunate man securely
pinned beneath the fallen tump and
apparently quite dead. The body was
removed with all haste, and Under.

very gratifying one, and because OF il
the high standard of work in the AS
toria school can be maintained, The
new principal, Mr., ], G, Emil, who
comes from Oklahoma, has undoubt-
edly been accustomed to receive con
siderable more than Sll0 per month
and there Is little chance Of holding
him after the first year unless a ma-
terial increase Is granted, Living ex-
penses in this part OF the state are
high and salaries must be high
enough so that il is possible to save
something al the end Of the year It
- believed that the new principal Of
the high school will prove to be a
very capable man, Superintendent
Clark yesterday also received tele-
gram from L, r Bradley, OF Albu.
querQuc, n, NJ, accepting the offer to
become principal Of the Adair school.
Rhe board had seriously considered
the advisabilty Of offering the prin-
cipalship OF the high school to Mr..
Bradley and counts itself fortunate in
now procuring his services at the
head Of the ward school Both OF
these gentlemen were desirous OF
coming 10 the Northwest and hence
were willing to start in here at fairly
low payment.
How do the schools OF Astoria
with those Of other towns
and cities in the state?' the Astorian
representative asked Superintendent
Clark.
Our schools rank high,' he said.
Perhaps il may be safely said that
outside Of Portland. pcndleton and
Baker City. our schools are not ex-
cellcd either in work accomplished or
in salaries paid. The character Of the
school is pretty well told by the sal
aries paid. Our salaries are little
higher than in Eugene, Salem and
other towns, and we think we have
,orrespondingly better schools" !,
The board of education also recent
y adopted another resolution OF much
In effect il is that the
board recommends that for every
year Of service the teachers shall be
given an additional S. a month. This
'ule is not a rigid one, however, and
will be only permitted in such cases
wherein the board is satisfied that the
eachers are worthy an deficient.
