GULF STREAM vEERS.

This Given As Reason Why the Sharks
Are of Our Coast.
New York.-A new theory to explain
the presence Of schools of sharks along
the North Atlantic coast was offered
by Capt. William Jensen Of the United
Fruit steamship Calamares, on arrival
here. He expressed the belief that
the gulf stream has curved toward the
coast and that tropical fish Of every
variety oen will abound in the waters
adjacent to Long Island. Two hun
dred miles from New York Sunday
night, Capt. Jensen said. the tempera-
ture of the water was "a degrees. un-
usually high for that latitude.

Three New Courses
Added at A. H. S,

A course in public speaking will
be installed in the high school next
semester. It will be open only to
seniors and takes the place of English
VIII. Miss Lilly will be the instruct
or. The course and text book will be
practically the same as is found In
the largest preparatory schools and
many of the universities of the Unit
ed States.
Public speaking, Spanish and ele-
mentary electricity added to the
courses of Ashland high school give
it course of study which is equal to
many high schools situated in. cities
of twice or three times Ashlands
population. Superintendent Briscoe
and Principal Moore have worked dill
igentiy for the past few months so
that these courses can be added to the
Ashland high students opportunities,
but in such a way that no new teach
ers had to be added to the city
schools payroll. This, together with
the fact that the high school has fifty
more people added to its present num-
ber after Christmas, calls for consid-
erable more effort on the part of the
faculty, but nevertheless these new
courses will be added at no extra cost
to the taxpayers.

Speakership Is
Causing Strife

The question of who will be the
next speaker of the Oregon state
house of representatives at the ses-
sion to open next month is provoca-
tive of a war of words among the
hackers of Representative Stafield Of
Umatilla and Representative Bean of
Eugene. The southern Oregon legis-
lators who met at Grants Pass Mon
day were divided as to their selec-
tion.
An attempt to agree to the casting
of the vote of the southern Oregon
delegation as a unit upon the speak
ership question failed. Representa-
times Thomas and Gore of Jackson
and Brand of Douglas favored sup
port of Bean of Lane county for the
leadership of the house, while Repre-
sentative Sheldon of Jackson showed
leanings toward Stanfield of Umatilla.
though evidently willing to join in
solid vote with the delegation.
Representative Sweeney, democratic
representative from Josephine coun-
ty, had pronounced sentiments in ia
vor of Stanfield, and before the day
was over had sent telegram to Mr..
Stanfield assuring him that he could
count upon him as one Of the 81
votes needed to land him in the COW
eted speakership chair.

I number of tournaments held under ia
ter-State supervision last year was
1888. This, OF course, does not include
club tournaments, of which there are
hundreds. Present indications are that
| there will be at least 1000 trapshoot-
ing competitions OF various sizes and
descriptions within the boundary OF
the United States this year
In the list OF 412 shoots increases
are shown in % States over the num-
Der of tournaments held last year and
In nine others decreases are noted. In
side OF another month IL is expected
that these nine will equal the mark
OF last year, or better il. For a good
many years Pennsylvania has led in
the number OF registered shoots, but
this season little Iowa seems to have
the bulge on the Sons of William
Penn. Iowa has forty-eight registered
tournaments as against forty-five for
Pennsylvania. This makes Iowa look
like the best trapshooting State in the
country. There are geo gun clubs in
Iowa; Pennsylvania has 492. Iowa has
ffty-seven clubs affiliated with the
State association, while Pennsylvania
has 12l. The Keystone shooters will
have to keep stepping to remain in
front of Illinois, as the Illinois shoot
ers have announced forty-three reg
istered shoots and only have forty-two
clubs affiliated with the State asso-
citation. Trapshooting Is coming on
faster in the Middle West and Far
West than it is in the eastern States
and there is no let-up in the East

two branches of athletics. AS far as
the physical condition of Crimson ath-
letes is concerned, Pooch Donovans
word is supreme.
Ksene Fitzpatrick was another Ma
tick performer that entered the field Of
professional coaches He was a pro-
tsgs of the late Mike Murphy. When
Murphy decided to leave the Detroit
Athletic Club he recommended the en-
gagement of Fitzpatrick. After Mike
left Yale, the first time, Fitzpatrick
followed in the path of the veteran
coach and became Yaie's man behind.
Later, at Michigan, Fitzpatrick put
the Ann Arbor University on the ath-
letic map by developing its track and
field stars and careful conditioning of
the football teams that Hurry-Up
Yost coached.
Johnny Garrelle was the greatest
star that Fitzpatrick uncovered at
Michigan, Garrelle was one of the
greatest all-around stars. At Prince
ton his work is proving to be the same
high type.
