HALEY COMET TAIL
WILL BRUSH COAST
20,000,000 Mile Appendange
Of Celestial Visitor to
Strike the Earth
Nav 1S.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. S-HaIley's comet
will give the Pacific coast close brush
this year on May IS, between the hours
of and 10 2. M. and the phenomenon
will be something spectacular, says pro-
fessor Charles Burckhalter Of the Cha
bot observatory, because the earth VIII
pass through the last third of the co.
100000 mile tail of the celestial visitor
The result ought to be as dazzling a
piece of heavenly. fireworks as this
generation has ever witnessed
The news that Halley's comet will be
seen only on the Pacific coast has not
hitherto been given out, although the
fact has been known for some time to
the astronomers of the world, many of
whom viii journey to California to be
on the scene when the great event
takes place.
Great Chance for Observations.
In discussing the comet, the Oakland
astronomer says:
Astronomers Cromelin and Cowen of
the Royal observatory at Greenwich
have probably made the most exhaus-
tive researches into the history of the
comet. They have worked from
mathematical standpoint in order TO
calculate its periods-a period being the
time it takes for comet to travel from
the punt the sun TO complete
It's orbit and to return to its original
starting point.
1.-THE comet is very near the calcu-
lated position at the present time, and
, there is no reason for believing the
work of Cowell and Cromelin will need
much or any revision.
cit is unfortunate that the sun will
be rather low, but it will still be of
sufficient altitude to make good obser-
vations possible. Should the transit
take place as predicted it will last
about an hour, and, should the comet
cross the suns disc centrally. it will
give the visiting astronomers a splendid
opportunity to study a comet under a
most favorable condition.
Tail VIII Encounter EARTH
Another feature of the visit lies in
The nearness of the comet to the earth
"a distance of 100000 600 miles. As the
tail of the comet should be about 20
100000 miles long and pointing directly
away from the sun, it will doubtless be
encountered by the earth. but on that
point have nothing 10 saw
The astronomer also insists that he
has nothing to say" about so dramatic
a situation. fraught not only with
awe-inspiring possibilities to the dwell
ers of the globe. but fraught. as well,
with possibilities of tragic moment.
Whether or not the earth's dive through
the comets tail will mean ANYTHING
more than a dazzling spectacle profess
sor Burckhalter will not predict. He
only says: Wait and see"

DEVELOPMENT OF
TIE TOYAH VALLEY
Acreage Greatly Increased
Under Modern System
of Irrigation.

Pecos, Tex, Jan S.-The development
of the Toyah valley. lying at the foot
of the Davis mountains 80 miles south
of Pecos. has been so marked. during
the last three years, that it claims the
attention and attracts favorable com
ment from all visitors. In 1906. E d.
Balcom, then manager for the Hager-
man irrigation interests in New Mexico,
visited this section, and, seeing the pos
sibilities, interested II. n. Morrow OF
Amarillo, c. G. Witherspoon of Here
ford, and j. Z. Rhea OF Roswell, with
the result that the principal acreage
together with the water supply was ac-
CURED. At that time there were six
white families living in the valley, each
OF which was taking water from a
canal, constructed AZ years ago by the
Mexicans, and in crude manner car
rying on the work of irrigation.
The water for this canal was sup
piled by large springs, located in the
valley itself, constant in flow, not be-
ing affected By either freshet or
drouth.
The Toyah Livestock company was
formed by the above named men, and a
season of development followed.
Subdivisions into smaller tracts were
made, brush cleared, new canals and
laterals constructed, roads graded.
houses built, trees planted, alfalfa
seeded and grains sowed.
The development of that part of the
valley under irrigation, four by Is
miles, continued until today there are
AGO acres seeded TO alfalfa alone,
which, III addition 10 the cotton, grains
and fruits produced, furnish employ
ment and living for over $50 families.
The valley now has two towns, Bal
morhea and Saragosa, with two good
hotels, cotton gin, five stores, one of
which in 1909 did over SIS, 900 worth of
business, four postoffices, supplied by
star route from Toyah on the T. & P,
five school houses, two churches. good
residences and an alfalfa meal mill
building.
model experiment farm is operated
for demonstration purposes and for in
structing the newcomer who is not
familiar with farming by irrigation.

TINY BABY's PlTIFuL CASE

"Our baby when two months old

The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be q few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel OF leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then few more pimpIes
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top Of her
head there appeared heavy scab
quarter Of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to see SO small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
tailed.
"Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came OF. On.
