To Double Idaho National
Harvester Plant

The tact that the Idaho National
Harvester will double their present
buildings next year and make the same
increase in their machinery should in
deed be welcome news to every citizen
in Moscow and Latah county. AL.
though no official decision has been
made to this effect, yet plans to that
extent have been talked over, and it
is practically settled that this increase
will be made in the coming year.
The plant has been greatly increas
ed during the present year, but the
company finds that they are still too
small to take care of their increasing
business and the demand for harvest
ers. With the present equipment, the
company is able to turn out about 100
machines per year, but with the pres.
ent floor space doubled, and the ma
chinery increased the output would be
from 800 to 500 machines per year.
The expenses of doubling the pres.
ent building will involve the expend-
iture of practically $4,000. The in
crease in machinery will amount to
about the same sum, calling for the
outlay of about 100000 for building
purposes and additional machinery.
The presen: area under roof at the
factory is over 10000 square feet, and
when the proposed additions are COM
pleted this area will be over 10000
square feet.
Thirty machines have been complet
ed by the company since harvest time
and before the grain crop for mex
year is ready for cutting, 100 ma
chimes will have been turned out. The
company with its present capacity
means much to the city of Moscow
and Latah county. Over 81 900 are
expended weekly by the company il
Moscow, and their present salary lis
amounts to over $500 weekly. All o
this money is spent directly in Mos
COW and benefits the town to that ex

tent. When the company increases
their capacity so that they can turn
out 500 machines each year, the fac
tory will have payroll that will be
an important factor in tine towns
growth and welfare.
But citizens of Moscow should not
stop with a picture of the present
buildings merely doubled. With the
marked success that has been met by
the company, there is no reason why
the factory cannot be doubled each
year for several years to come. Eve.
ry year should see the capacity in.
creased. the output larger, the prof
its greater and the number of men
employed added to. The possibilities
before the company can hardly be
grasped at the present stage in their
development, and there seems to be
no doubt that the harvester is destin-
ed to become the greatest manufacture.

1t is proposed to build the new ad.
ditions on the east side of the pres
ent structures. A railroad track will
be placed between the new addition
and the buildings as they now stand

HALLEY,s COMET.

Members OF the Maryland Academy
of Sciences, altar careful study and
much calculation, have concluded that
Hslley's comet will not be as brilliant
IS Is popularity supposed when It is
nearest the earth, May Is, 19 and 90.
They argue that the comet will have
receded someWbst from the sun 80 that
It will have beOun its fading process,
and dawn and twilight will interfere with
its brightness.
pr. John r. Hooper, chsirmsn OF
the astronomical section, says that the
coma surrounding the NUCLEUS will ap'
pesr large and will be high enough 10
the western sky the last OF May to De
above the low mist and smoke. He
saws The couet is now coming toward
the earth and will appfar above the
we.tern horizon Msy 19 or 2O very
rspidIy for several days and then sp-
eear to move more slowly In south
erly direction. During April and the
early part OF May, Ssys Dr.. Hooper,
the comet will appesr t, move very
slowly, and in the last Of May 1t will
be visible in this section. During this
period, Gays DR.. Hooper, the comet will
appear somewhat stationary.
At the present time, according to
Dr.. Hooper, the comet is obscured by
tas sun, behind which it PISSED March
25, at distance of 80, 1000, 600 miles
from it. In other words he explains
that the comet Is at present 16O, 900, 900
miles from the earth.
