DEATH BLOW is
AIMED AT THEATRES
Trying to Close Up Picture
Shows ON Sum-
day.

This has ben another week Of
trouble for the show men OF Tulsa
and OF the state, for another death
blow bill has been introduced in the
state senate The one to close picture
shows on Sunday.
The local theatre men found much
local support in their efforts to kill
the bill and dozens Of the best bust
ness men and oil men of the city sent
telegrams to Oklahoma City protest
ing against the bill
1t is argued by the local theatre
men that the subject proposed in the
bill is purely q local one and that
Tulsans expressed their wishes in
this matter at the special election
held here a few years ago, when the
Sunday closing order was killed by a
decided vote.
From information at hand it seems
rs If the bill is doomed TO the same
failure of its predecessor.

 NOTES

When the steamer Delta sailed re- gently. bound for the lower river, it took a barge from Cinema, carrying about one hundred and fifty tons of antimony ore. This ore is the first shipment by Si Scrafford to the smelter at San Francisco in accor- dance with a contract entered into by him last winter when he was outside. Anthony is demanding 2S cents per pound on the outside now and the shipment made by MT. Scrafford will mean a net return of thousands of dollars. The ore will be shipped out side by way of St. Michael. Anthony ore will be shipped from the mine on Chatham creek to Fairbanks as rapidly as possible and other shipments will be made from time to time during the summer

KING THURMAN WAS
 VICTIM OF BROWN BEAR

One of the most awful tragedies of Alaskan life was the death of King Thurman, as told to- the Seward Gate way by William Austin, who found the body in the cabin on Chickaloon flats. MT. Austin brought to Seward a scrap of paper which carries a few words written by Thurman, showing the frightful agony of the poor fellow before he brought his gun into play to end what was left of life. The last words of Thurman were written on a paper at the top of which was notice of location As the right hand had been torn by the bear, the poor fellow evidently had to use the left hand The letters were printed laboriously and some of them were illegible. They were written up and down the page like a list of names, and were as fol-
 lows: Have been tore up by a brown
 bear. No show to get out. Good bye" Later Thurman evidently tried to write again. but his suffering was too great. I'm sane but Pm suffering he printed

and then came some printed letters that could not be deciphered, and his last effort brought out the words, "the

The whole right side was torn and chewed up from the shoulder down, and the ribs were loosened from the backbone. The left hip was also torn up, as were the right arm and calf of the right leg. MT Austin believes the bear must have at tackled him about a hundred yards from the cabin. Thurman hardly ever went unarmed, but in this case he had evidently left the cabin to get bucket of water. In the cabin was also found a diary kept by the unfortunate man. The last entry was dated July 25. This entry was, Game to cabin last even ing"

Study Course Changed.

Salem--SuperiDtendent OF Public In
struction Churchill has announced .
new course Of study for high schools.
Mr.. Churchill said that in country high
schools Il often was necessary for
teachers TO give instruction in subjects
for which they bad made no special
preparation, and for them q definite
outline Of the work Il Of much value.
Much freedom Of the choice Of sub
jects is given In the larger high
schools, 50 students may not be re-
quired to take subjects in which they
are little interested. and for which
they have no particular aptitude.
The minimum requirement for grad
uation 10 10 units Of high school work
with recitation periods Of 40 minutes
in length, but pupils are urged to com
pIete the course by taking four sub
jects each year for Tour years. thereby
earning I6 units.
The course Of study permits pupils
TO earn from one TO three units for
graduation in either vocal or instru-
mental music taken outside Of the
school, provided the work Is given By
competent teacher and the pupil
spends at least so minutes daily In
practice or instruction.
There Is also q new course required
TO be given in all high schools. upon
the completion of which student will
be permitted to enter a teachers ex-
animation.
This course Is made necessary on
account Of law which became opera
tive on September l. requiring all per-
sons who have not had at least six
months Of successful teaching exper-
ience to complete an elementary teach
ers' training course before they are
permitted to enter an examination for
teachers certificate. The elemen-
tary teachers training course is in adj
dition to the teachers training course
which has heretofore been given IN
many Of the larger high schools.
