TELEGRAPHIC CHRONICLE OF
STATE HAPPENINGS.
TO AID SlLETZ ENTRYMEN
Relief to 20 Settlers Whose Entries
Arc Adversely Affected by Ruling
of Assistant Secretary Pierce.

Portland.--R Representative Hawlcy's
pending bill, drawn in behalf of bona
fidc settlers upon Siletz reservation
lands, il passed by Congress, will
direct the issuance OF patents to
about no settlers whose final proof
has long been held up in the lnte-
rior Department. This will include
some 20 settlers whose entries were
adversely affected by a recent ruling
OF Assistant Secretary Pierce.
Hawley's bill provides that all
pending Siletz homestead entries
heretofore made, upon which proofs
were made prior to December 81,
1905, shall be passed to patent in all
cases where IL shall appear TO the
satisfaction of the Secretary of the
Interior that entry was made for
the exclusive use and benefit Of the
entryman and that the cntryman
built house on the land entered
and otherwise improved the same,
and actually entered into oecupa-
ton thereof and cultivated a protion
of said land for the period required
by law. and that the land entered
has not been sold nor conveyed nor
contracted to be sold or conveyed
by the cntryman, and where no con-
test or other adverse proceeding was
commenced against the entry, and
notice thereof served upon the en-
tryman, prior TO the date OF sub
mission Of proof thereon. or within
two years thereafter"
The Pierce decision Is most ef-
fcctivc IN that IL con,cmplatcs the
cancellation Of all Sileh entries
when three years actual and con-
tinuous residence Ia not proven.

IF THE COMET SHOULD HIT THE EARTH WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO GLOBE IF HALLEY'S
 COMET HIT THE EARTH?

would begin to rival the orb of day itself in size but would be thousand times more terrible with its long mysterious train of light as it bore down with fearful speed upon this compar- atively tiny planet Of ours.
 The day would become one long nightmare, and the night be made unbearable with the fear ful suspense and terror of the impending doom The downtown streets would be deserted, as nobody would have any desire to transact bus- ness not absolutely necessary to the mere main tenance of life for the few remaining days.
 
 It is likely that the churches would become the Mecca for all people, and thousands who had never given the church passing thought as long as they had followed the daily grind of their lives would be seeking there what little comfort they might find; and there one would have an opportunity to discover the real man, stripped of the veneer of society and with cul- ture's superficial mask removed.
 The strong hearted would calmly await their fate and give encouragement to those who found the fearful prospect more trying: The coward would be wholly unmasked and his cries and vain pleadngs for divine intervention would be as disgusting then as the evidences of such weaknesses are today, no matter what shape they assume. Smiles would be few, for only those who had conscience devoid of all of fense toward men could gaze with complacency on the sure and awful approach of the final reckoning.
 There would doubtless be thousands whom the strain would tax beyond endurance, and theif minds would give way, leaving them help less imbeciles whimpering aimlessly along the streets, or raving maniacs racing madly from place to place attacking whenever they met or injuring themselves until exhausted
 Perhaps still more prevalent feature of the awful calamity would be wholesale suicide Ev- cry means would be employed. Many would
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-05-15

find their way to bridges and other high points and hurl themselves off into eternity rather than to await inevitable destruction
 It is more than likely that whole families at once would prefer to thus be plotted out. Se- lecting the surest and most painless methods to accomplish their purposes, the fathers, after assuring themselves that wives and children were beyond recovery, would take the poison or use the frearm upon themselves and end the useless and maddening delay.
 As the baleful influence of the terrible de- stroyer of the skies became more and more felt on the earth all human activity would cease. There would be no police force no fire force, no telephones, nor could the newspapers find any inducement which would tempt their employees to continue their endeavors.
 The days would glare with the unnatural light of the approaching monster, and the nights would become more hideous. They would be few in number, however, as the comet would draw nearer at such terrific speed that every hour would find conditions changing and the actual physical effect of the visitation would very quickly become apparent.
 Death-dealing gases and unbearable heat would in a twinkling snuff out all water into steam Men and animals would die where they stood. Birds would fall, and every green thing would shrince and shrink into smoking ashes All our infammable structures would burst into spontaneous flame, and the great iron and steel girders of our bridges would begin to twist and writhe under the scorching intensity of the glare from the destroyer Then would our tall buildings burst apart and crumble to the sizzling earth, adding their quota to the flaming, smoking ruins.
 The final crash and shock of collision would be beyond the power of human beings to i'm agine, for no matter whether the impact came in the eastern or western hemisphere the result would be identical throughout the world It would mean entire destruction of all form and probably instantaneous return of all matter to a gaseous condition.
 The moon would fall into the general chaos and lose its identity along with the earth, and both might become part of the fiery demon that annihilated them, travelling with it for eternity in its ceaseless and mysterious fittings throughout the universe, visiting every seventy five years, like some homeless vagrant the space it used to fill, but which thereafter would know it no more forever.
