To Change Broad Jump Rules.
Especial to The Sentinel

Especial to The Sentinel
New York. Feb. S.=The A. A. Z.
has decided TO change the rules gov
eTning the competition in the broad
jump. Owing TO the large number
of accidents that happen to competi-
tors by sliding off the take-off it has
been deemed advisable to do away
with the trench in front of the take
off, and suggestions are now being
asked of prominent critics regarding
the advisability of widening the
take-off joist from five to ten inches.
Under the old conditions the trench
extended to a depth of three and
width of twelve inches outward, and
the expediency of abolishing 1t has
been under consideration for some
time past. Secretary-Treasurer James
E. Sullivan has addressed communi-
cations to several parties throughout
the country who are qualified to pass
Judgment on the matter. asking them
to submit their opinions regarding
the proposed widening OF the joist
from five to ten inches long as a
further remedy.

The men and women who have TAX
en- up homesteads in the arid regions
of Prowers, Bent. Baca and Kiowa
counties, away from the irrigated
area. should be encouraged for try
ing to develop the country by open
ing the way for capital to extend the
irrigation systems and make all the
land productive The cry comes from
Washington that more farmers, more
producers, are wanted to overcome
the rising tide of high prices, and yet
the agents of the general land office
are doing everything in their power
to discourage settlement by CHASING
the homesteaders of the arid regions
as bold robbers trying TO defraud the
government out of portion of the
public domain.
The special agents sent out to spy
on the settlers seem to be of the same
nature as railroad spoilers. They
feel that they must show something
rotten in order to hold their jobs.
Men and women who have taken arid
lands south of here and have spent
three or four times the value OF the
lands in their Improvement have been
cited to show cause why their entries
should not be Cancelled on account of
non-residence. The same thing has
occurred with many poor people who
came here to secure homes for them
selves and who were compelled by
stern necessity to leave the land tenn
porarily to make living for them
selves and their families. Cases have
been reported in which the special
agents enjoyed the generous western
hospitality of actual homesteaders,
broke bread with them. saw the
struggles they were making to get a
home by complying with the govern
ment laws, and then recommended
that these entries be cancelled. In
the old days of the frontier these
spoilers would not have been able to
get away with such tricks more than
a couple OF times.
1t does not seem credible that the
officials of the general land office at
Washington are cogniaznt of the
methods employed by their spoilers In
this section, and IL our senators and
congressman will lodge a strong pro-
test against their work and methods
there is reason to believe that the Sc
cret service department of the land
Office will be compelled to confine its
efforts to the detection and exposure
of actual frauds against the land
laws. II they do that. and leave the
struggling homesteaders on arid lands
in peace, the government will be the
gamer all around, for the big thieves
will be stopped and the area of pro-
ductive land will be increased.-La-

HALLEY'S COMET CONES CLOSEST

= tion of the moon. it will be the +
= closest heavenly body, was the =
+ announcement made by Prof. Z

+ the Astronomical Society of the Z

- $$$$ $t$ +
Discussing the comet and it's activ-
ity, Prof. Crawford said:
AT present it seems that the comet
will make its nearest approach to the
sun on April 10, at distance of
about half that from the sun to the
earth, or about 100000 miles. Its
nearest approach to the earth will be
on May IS, at which time 1t will be
within 100000 miles of us-closer
than any other known body in the
universe with the single exception of
the moon.
According to the present data, it
is a strong probability that VIC shall
witness most unusual phenomenon
May is, at which time the comet will
lie in line joining the earth and
the sun, so that the object will be
projected upon the suns surface, CIV
ing us what is termed transit of the
sun.
las the tail is directed away from
the sun it will at the time envelop
the earth. From this we have abso-
/ lutely nothing to fear. Such a thing
has happened before. although we
knew nothing about it until 1t was
all over and computation revealed
the phenomenon. June 30. 1861. the
earth passed through the tail of the
great comet OF that year.
ION January Is Halley's comet
made its closest approach to the plan
ct Mars at a distance of about 40,-
100000 miles. Just what is happen
ing and what is going to happen as
regards Its path for the next few
months is one of the problems taken
up by the comet committee of the Pa
cific Astronomical Association. This
committee has asked Prof. A. O.
Lueschner, head of the students OBJ
iervatory of the University of Califor-
MIA, to undertake this work, and I'M
der his direction calculations are be-
ing made at the present time. With
in few weeks we shall be able to
state more definitely whether therp
Will be a transit of the sun and
whether We shall pass through the
tail of the famous comet.
THE comet is reported as visible
TO the naked eye at the present time
n the clear sky of the Arizona high
lands. 1t is becoming brighter and
brighter every day. so that we may
all hope to see it soon with the un-
lided eye. At the beginning of March
t Will set about three hours after the
sun. About the middle of that month
I Will be lost to view in the suns
light until the end of April, when 1t
will be seen before sunrise Toward
the end of May it will again be an
evening object. when it probably will
be very brilliant and then fade
away"
