COME rs TAIL LONG
At Present 1t Stretches Out
for 1000, 900 Miles,
But Will Grow.
POSES FOR A PHOTOGRAPH

Chicago. April 1S.-Halley's comet
has a tail at least 100000 miles in
length. What is more, it is probable
that the tail will grow apace as the
comet shoots toward the earth at the
rate Of 100000 miles day, and that
we shall be able to view the fiery phe-
nomenon In its entirety without q tele-
scope within ten days.
These facts, in all their numerical
dignity, are made public on the au-
thority OF the astronomers at Yerkes
Observatory. Williams Bay. who OBJ
served the comet for almost an hour
yesterday morning under ideal con-
ditions. Professors Edwin B. Frost
and E. e. Barnard operated on 1t with
telescopes. spectroscOpes and photo
graphic telescopes to their hearts con-
tent. effectually dissipating the suspi-
cion that the eccentric Joy rider" had
mislaid its appendage in its recent
journey behind the sun.
Comet - Photographed.
Professor Barnard secured satisfac-
tory photograph of the comet, tail and
all, with his observatory's Bruce pho
tographic telescope. which had been
specially equipped. Professor Frost
watched the sky visitor through his
twelve inch instrument and made a
spectroscopic examination, revealing
the fact that the comets light at pres
emit comes largely from the sun, where
as at the last inspection the body's lu-
minous gases were more in evidence.
To Professor Frost's eyes the comet
appeared to be one-third the diameter
of the moon in length, while on the
photograph it appears as two diameters
of the moon in length. Its brightness
was comparable to the brightness of q
star of the sixth magnitude, the faint
est star visible to the naked eye. The
dawn. however, made the comet invis
ibIe to the naked eye.
Professors Frost and Barnard be
gan their observations shortly after
4 o'clock, and stopped a few minutes
before O'Clock. The Photographic
plate was exposed fourteen minutes
to a clear sky, and its development
was matter of much interest at the
observatory.
Is Brighter Now.
"The comet looked so percent
brighter than it did five or six days
ago., said Professor Frost IF the
sky had been dark it would have beer
visible without the use of the tele
scope The comet rose an hour and .
quarter before the sun. the dawn be
ing still too strong for view witt
the naked eye.
| Il found it easy with the three-incf
finder attached to my instrument. and
| Professor Barnard and observed l
for some time. It looked simply likl
a bright star with a fuzzy extension
or tail pointing away from the sun
! It will look about that way when !
becomes visible to everybody, though
the tail may appear much larger.
/ 1T is not vet safe to predict whel
| the comet will be plainly on view
| but l think it viii be within ten days
i The 1000. 900 miles of tail visible Il
us may represent only part Of it
real length, and that is another poin
we shall soon learn
i Many students of the University o
Chicago plan to get a glimpse Of tn
comet this week. The students inten,
i to hold comet party as soon as th
celestial visitor becomes visible to tn
naked eye.

SUMMER SCHOOL NOTICE
Albion, Idaho, Mar. %, 10

Albion, Idaho, Mar. %, 1910.
To the Teachers Of Idaho and Ad-
joining States:
1t gives me great pleasure to an
nounce that through the assistance of
Supt. Charles S. Meek and the Board
of Education of Boise, Idaho, and
Co. Supt. Ivy M. Wilson of Ada Co.,
we have secured for the Summer
school at Boise, Idaho, July 13-Aug-
ust "a, the services of DR.. Henry SUI
zallo, of Columbia University. DR..
Suzzallo is recognized as one of the
greatest educators of the day. Here
tofore he Vas confined his summer
schol work to Yale University, Co
lumbia University and the University
O California. He will give two lee
lures daily, one upon the Principles
of Teaching, which will be adapted
to superintendent, principals and
teachers of all teachers of alllgrades;
one on School Supervision, intended
for school superintendent and prin-
cipals particularly.
DR.. Suzzallo's visit to Boise will
give the teachers of Idaho and adj
joining states an opportunity to get
the highest grade of professional
work without the great expense in
cured by a trip to eastern institutions
There is no man who is greater au-
thority upon educational questions
than DR.. Suzzalo and those teachers
of Idaho who had the pleasure of
hearing him during the last State as
ISOLATION know that he is not only a
scholar and philosopher but very
entertaining speaker, and will antici-
pate with much pleasure the oppor-
tunity of hearing him in series of
lectures.
This is the greatest opportunity
ever offered to the superintendent
and principals of the northwest to get
the very best and latest in education
and school supervision. They simply
cannot afford to miss this great OPP
portunity the like of which may not
come again for many years. A large
number of the most progressive city
superintendent have signified their
intention of attending.
In addition to DR.. Suzzallo's lect-
ures the usual work of the summer
normal school will be offered. Glasses
will be organized in the subjects re-
quired for examination for county
certificates of the thee grades. In
addition special instruction in pri-
mary methods and music will be CIV
en- by experts in those subjects.
Especial attention will be given to
the professional side of the work in
all classes. Every effort will be made
to make this the greatest summer
normal school that has ever been
held in the northwest.
Yours very truly,
G.. A. AXLINE,
Conductor

SOME ADVANTAGES OF SCHOOL
ING
CONTINUED from page ~

when he finished course at Links
Business college recently We learned
that it had cost him $46 month for
twelve months. He had a nice room
and good boarding place and could
have lived more economically if it
had been necessary, but it was not
necessary.
His salary before taking the bust
ness course was $2.40 a day or $748
per year. Since he finished the course
he receives $3.50 per week or $117S
per year, difference in his favor
that will almost repay the outlay in
year. Mr.. Snider is employed in
the Office of the Wood River Times at
Haley, Idaho.
Another instance trying for better
conditions of employment is fou.d in
the experience of Miss Maude Weigel
of Blackfoot, who recently completed
a course at the Ogden Business col
lege.
Tuition for a six months course is
fifty dollars and board and room cost
about $40 month, making $170 plus
car fare and incidentals Before TAX
ing the work Miss Weigel could COM
mand about $50 month as a teacher
and could probably be employed
about seven to nine months or little
more than half of the year. She is
now qualified to earn about SIS a
month and be employed the whole
year. ,

HAS MADE GOOD

There is one point on which all
fair-minded persons are agreed--it
is that Governor Brady has made
good. There are very few Democrats
who do not admit that in private con-
versation, and great many of that
party will support him at the polls
in November on that ground. While
it is not to be expected that Demo-
Gratis generally will do so, it remains
a fact that the governor has given the
state such a good administration that
a great number of Democrats, in the
aggregate, will give him their sup
port on that broad ground, indepen-
IDENTIFY of their feelings on any special
point.
Added to that is the special feature
of his having proved himself a con-
scientious supporter of the temper
ance cause. This gives him the sup
port of a great number of Democrats
who might not be otherwise influence
ed in his favor as against some man
of their own party.
AS stated, he has made good In
h. n
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1910-04-29

good in every department of the state
government, and it is up to the people
to show their appreciation of his rec
ord by giving him denomination and
reelection. 1t Is principle among
the American people to thus reward
those who prove afithful and efficient,
and in Idaho that feeling is very
strong. 1t should be strong, and it
should and will manifest itself in no
uncertain manner in the matter OF
choosing man to occupy the guber-
Material chair for the ensuing two
years.
Moreover, it is highly desirable to
re-elect man who has made good.
In one term he gets thoroughly in
touch with every interest the state;
he learns where all the weak points
are, and what is especially needed
with respect to every public interest.
Therefore, when governor proves
to be the right man in the right place
it would be most unWise and I'M
patriotic to throw him out at the
end of his first term and thus lose
for the state all the benefit of his
experience. A governor has to learn
the business of the place, and the
people feel that when he has done
that and proved his worth, his SER
vices should be retained as matter
of public policy.
With this feeling prevailing with
respect to Governor Brady, both in
his own party and among so many
Of the Democrats, it is foregone
conclusion that he will be chosen to
succeed himself-that the seal of
public approval will be set upon him
and his record at the primaries and
at the general election.

DEATH OF ORA HENDRIX
Continued from page y


He was rooming at John Kent's
and made some pleasant remark as
he passed out of the houes little be-
fore seven o'clock Thursday morning.
He ate breakfast at the Idaho Cafe
being waited upon by Thomas Haver
who remembered him, and did not
observe anything unusual in his
mood. He is supposed to have gone
from the cafe to the train to meet
his father in case he arrived and
from the, train went to the office,
where he sat down, engaged in an eX-
animation of new double action re-
volver and it discharged while he was
looking at it from the front of the
gun. The ball entered his forehead
over the left eye and buried itself in
the brain. When found the second
or middle part of the right thumb
was on the trigger, the hand in the
lap and the fingers relaxed. The
thumb filled the space about the
guard and the trigger so the weapon
did not separate from the hand when
it fell into his lap. The body was still
warm when discovered and no writ
ten message has been found to indi-
cate that the deed was premeditated.
He had apparently just received a let
ter rom girl friend in the east,
but it was only friendly letter re-
citing some social functions she had
attended, and could have had no dis
appointing message or him.
The body was discovered by Mrs.
Maurice Watson who walked into the
Office to speak to Miss Bond the
bookkeeper who was supposed to be
there but she had not arrived and
Mrs. Watson looked into the side Of
fee only to meet the stare of corpse
with wound on the forehead, the
head tilted back, but otherwise seated
naturally in the chair.
Mrs. Watson was terribly shocked
and it was only by making deter
mined effort that she was able to
walk out and make her way along
the street until she met somebody to
break the news to-

ALONG THE MACKAY BRANCH
Many Visitors From Lost River in the
Grove City Attending Court
This Week

The case of adjusting the damages
to c. c. Davidson on account of ap-
propriating his ranch for reservoir
site has brought many Lost river
people to Blackfoot this week, and
the older residents have been renew
ing acquaintance with old friends
they knew in freighting days. When
not in court they are having a very
good time about town and in the
country observing the unexpected
growth of population and general de-
velopment. Those who belong to
lodges have enjoyed the hospitality
found pleasure in the club rooms and
some fine automobile drives.
Mr.. Davidson's interests are in
the hands of Hawley, Pucket & Haw-
ley of Boise while the Lost River IT.
rigation Company is represented by
Hansbrough & Gagon of Blackfoot,
and Judge N. M. Ruick of Boise.
and Chase Clark of Mackay.
When the jury was empaneled they
were taken out to upper Lost river
to view the reservoir site and be made
acquainted with conditions there. The
train that took them out on Tuesday
morning was held until evening so
they could return the same day.

Costly Distribution.
Conductor.

There are many things that fail to
support the view that city consumers
pay high prices for supplies because
farmers are a benighted class who
don't know how to produce things
economically. We have already cited
the case of milk, which costs the con.
sumner several times what the pro.
Queer gets for it, and there are many
other instances, says the Baltimore
American. Tomatoes that the pro
Queer sold for IS cents a crate cost
the consumer $1.75. Cabbage that the
producer sold for IS to so cents
crate cost the consumer S1.35, and 50
on. We repeat that wasteful produc.
ton is less to blame than costly dis
tribution for the prices consumers
must put up for what they eat. Wher
will both sides realize this and CO.
operate for better things?

''Oflcial Paper, City and County,"
BLACKFOOT A HISTORIC SPOT

The newspapers of the state are CIV
ing Blackfoot some publicity on &C
count of the fact that this Is the
fortieth anniversary of the building
of the first irrigating bitches in the
upper Snake river valley. Now, with
in four decades we have more mile
age of canals and more acreage of ir-
rigable lands than any other county
in the United States, and the marvel
GUS development of forty years will
only be exceeded by the growth of the
next period of much less than forty
years, for things move rapidly now.
1t was in 1870 that Fred S. Stevens
Presto Burrell and Henry Dunn made
their first bitches to convey water out
upon the soil and they are all living
and making money out of the pro-
ducts being raised each year by the
same bitches on the same lands.
Their work was experimental and
the present prosperous population is
reaping the benefit of the demonstra-
lions they made.
The Pocatello Tribune suggests a
monster celebration at the harvest
time in commemoration, and the his
torical w. H. B. Crow of Idaho Falls
deplores the fact that nothing is be-
ing done by Blackfoot people to pre-
serve at least painting of the his
toric Fort Hall so long a landmark
for all travellers passing within few
hundred miles of us in any direction.
Fort Hall and 'The Beer Springs"
(Soda Springs) were always men
toned by Bonneville, Bancroft, Irv-
ing, Lee, Whitman, Fremont and all
the early writers and explorers and
there should be preserved in the
rooms of the Blackfoot Commercial
club painting. however crude, show
ing the old buildings and the grove,
the corral full of wagons accumulated
by the English commandant who for
three years held possession and dill
gently Quilted everybody in telling
of the impossibility of getting any
further towards Oregon with wagons
and of what a fine country lay to the
southwestward in California.
Blackfoot should have a picture of
the spot where the first sermon was
preached in all this region the place
where the flag was first raised in the
great nlateau. the place whore the
first Christian burial took place in
the state. and the place where the
first settlers STAYED when looking
around to see where they would To-
cate, and that place is on Ft. Hall
bottoms soon to be submerged in
making the greatest irrigation reser-
voir in the world
If the Commercial club does not
secure souvenirs and pictures of some
of these places and men while they
are obtainable they will miss some of
their valuable OPPORTUNITIES
AS to the first irrigation bitches
we have one above town the other be-
low and the autumn fair furnishes a
date for historic demonstration. We
propose a "Historv Day" during the
fair when old settlers and old relics
shall be honored. and let the Com
mercial club fall heir to souvenirs,
around which will cling stories to
charm all visitors and make them
love the very skies under which
the various parts were acted.

VIOLATED THE SPEED LIMIT

Last Friday an idaho Falls man
named Percy Robinson was in Black
foot with his car and covered some
of the principal streets at a thirty
and forty mile gait. Being an out of
town visitor nothing was said to him
for while, but finally Chief Hilliard
hailed him and informed him of the
speed limit and asked that he con-
form to it, which he politely agreed
to do, but Immediately dashed up
Main street at tope speed and headed
for home, apparently delighting in
the prank. When he reached Shelley
a phone order placed him in custody
and he was required to send $25
down to go into the city treasury.

ALFALFA IN ALL CLIMATES
Has Proven Its AdaptabiIity to Grow
Everywhere and on All Kinds
Of Soils.

While experts have been declaring
that alfalfa would only grow in GER
tain SOIL and in certain climates it
has proven adaptability to nearly
all climates and almost all soils, says
Coburns Book on Alfalfa. It pro-
duces with rainfall as scant as
IA inches. and in the gulf states -four
ishes with 65 inches. 1t gives crops at
en- elevation of 5000 feet above sea
level, and in southern California it
grows below sea level to a height
of six feet or over, with nine cuttings
a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons
An authenticated photograph in pos
session of the writer shows a wonder
full alfalfa plant raised in the (irri-
gated) desert of southern California,
60 feet below sea level, that meas
ures considerably more than ten feet
in height. Satisfactory crops are
raised, but on limited areas as yet,
in Vermont and Florida. New York
has grown it for over 100 years in
her clay and gravel; Nebraska grows
it in her western sand hills without
blowing, as does Nevada on her sage
brush desert. The depleted cotton
soils of Alabama and rich corn lands
of Illinois and Missouri each respond
generously with profitable yields to
the ente1prising farmer, while its &C.
cumulated nitrogen and the sub-sol-
ing it effects are making the rich land
more valuable and giving back to the
crop-worn Lard the priceless elements
of which, it has been in successive
generations despoiled by conscience
