THE WORLD WATCHES.
Continued from page 1.)

nomena of the transit of the nu-
cleus of the comet across the sun 5
disk today. These predictions re-
quire a very accurate determination
of the motion of the comet at the
present time.
AS the first step, the famous cal
culations of Messrs. Powell and
Crommelin Of the Greenwich obser-
vatory, were made the basis of the
computation of the comet during its
present apparition. The observa-
tional material needed for this pur-
pose was secured by special agree
ment with the Lick and Yerkes OBJ
servatories, the required observa-
tions being made by'Professors Ait
ken and Barnard. With the aid of
planet Venus and of the earth were
calculated. The closest approach of
the planet Venus and of the earth
took place on May 2, The closest
approach to the earth will occur
probably tomorrow. Owing to a
very rapid apparent motion of the
comet at the present time, it was
necessary to test the computed po-
sitlOn of the comet by observations
secured as close to the transit across
the sun as possible. The final posi-
tion required for this purpose was
secured yesterday morning at the
Lick observatory by Astronomer
Kftken. On the basis of this obsey-
walton a final correction was applied
to the adopted time of perihelion
passage and to the perihelion dis
turbance. The main result of the
calculation is that the prediction of
a transit is fully verified"

a greater success than the one last
year, barring of course the non-ap-

The freshmen and sophomores
ran neck and neck, the sophs win
ming by only four votes. The songs
of both were good, but the sopho-
mores won on better rendition. The
quartette entertained the anxious
crowd while the vote was counted.

THE GARDEN OF
EDEN is FOUND
The Garden Spot of the Willamette
Valley Found i'm the Beautiful
Hollywood Subdivided Tract.
Yesterday Was Opening Day.
Tract Viewed by Hundreds Of
People. Business Men Leave
Their Business to View 1t.

Yesterday was a day long to be
remembered by those who took ad
vantage of the cordial invitation Of
Bechtel and Bynop, the hustling
real estate men, to- the public to go
with them to Hollywood track, view
the land and see what is being done
One fact is certain. The tract has
been advertised for some time, but
in none of the advertising has one
half been told of this beautiful
tract. Beyond any question OF a
doubt this is one of the very finest
subdivisions ever laid out anywhere.
Everybody who has seen 1t speaks
in the highest of terms in regard to
1t.
Hollywood lays one mile east of
the fair grounds, south Of the Sill
verton road. This road will with
out doubt be macadamized for five
miles this summer. There is also
talk of the local street r. r. going
out there or the Salem, Silverton
motor line going near the tract.
The tract takes in some 800 acres
of the old and well known Savage
farm now subdivided into 5-acre
tracts. The soil Is of rich black
loan. In places grain is now stani-
ing one and a half to two feet tall.
Glover is over a foot high.
The land is rolling. There have
been two roads graded through the
tract. The main one from north to
south will in all probability connect
with the garden road in a short
time.
The Salem Apple eOrchard Com
pany has chosen part OF this sub
division as the place of all others
best adapted to prove the possibill-
ties of the Willamette valley as
fruit raising locality. One OF the
finest hop yards to be seen anywhere
IS also in this tract. Mr.. A. e.
Hofer, secretary Of the board OF
trade, who viewed the tract, states
that this Is the ideal apple orchard
and fruit tract and also that he
could have within the recent past
have located several hundred fami-
lies here If there had been tracts
like this 10 sell
One of the most pleasant features
of the day was to see the brother
agents Of Bechtel & Bynon (who are
handling the tract take q lively IN
terest and lend their assistance in
showing people through the tract
Dozens OF business men left Their
business In the busiest time OF the
day 70 80 TO the tract There were
Representatives from pretty muon
an places Of business.
$ r. Anderson took some parties
out in his Oakland 80" One man
was so well pleased with the ma
chine that Mr. Anderson made sale
OF an Oakland when he was least ex-
pecting IL.

ENTRIES ON LAND NEAR JEROME
 JUNCTION
lSHsd s.6spInlss uoiD

Every indication at the present time points to a land boom among the homestesders at and around Jer- ome Junction, and hardly day passes without an application being filed be- fore Judge Moore, the United States Commissioner in this city.
 Yesterday, H. c. Rolfe made an entry for 160 acres, which he will utilize for homestead purposes, this being the second one within the pres ent week. Others have also signifed their intention to take up land, and are making an examination of the To- cality. In the past month over ten entries have been received, which added to those already on the ground, gives a total of over forty bona fde settlers.
 No irrigation ditehes whatever are to be seen on this domain, the prin- ciple of tilling the soil being the dry farming method, that has proven it. self as successful in several instances. Experimental planting has been re- sorted to in small tracts of corn, wheat and barley, and in each in- stance splendid results have been re- eeived, in fact, the quality of the product could not be excelled, while in quantity the abundant growth was something of revelation to those in- terested.
 One owner of a tract near the Junction, in digging a well for do- mestic uses, went but a few feet below, and running into hard pan, drilled a small hole through it, when to his surprise water gushed out at such a lively rate that he was com pelled to go to the surface, the water creeping up for a depth of nine feet a few hours afterward. It is the supposition of many that the entire section is resting on a subterranean body of water, and if exploration to depth is had, artesian water will be found.
 Many of the new loeators are pre- pairing to till the soil and prepare for the coming rainy season, antici- pating heavy crops if the rainy sea- son of the year is maintained as ii has been for the past five years.

TRAMP COMET IS ENDOWED WITH
 TWO TAILS
The secret is out at last!

The secret IS out at last! It was bound to come somewhere somehow, sometime. It could not be kept hidden forever-nor even under an Illuminated cover, so bright, so dazzling, that it obscured the wis ion of the naked eye.
 And here is the secret:
 The tramp comet, known as Innes' comet, has two tails.
 South Africa found the comet. Ari- zona found the tails.
 Which proves that even though the comet may be a hobo in the heavens, it is, nevertheless, decidedly classy.
 For it is said that a tail is the pride of a comet, just as a waving ostrich feather is the joy of feminine headgear. And to have two tails must certainly cause the new discov- cry in the skies to execute a few extra sweeps in the blue overhead, just as two plumes in milady's hat cause the wearer to step more jaunt- fly and lightly along, buoyant in the knowledge that they are certain to generally attract attention and ad- miration.
 It was Prof. A. E. Douglas of the University of Arizona, at Tucson, who made the discovery that the comet has two tails. Prof. Douglas is an astronomer of note. He has been in- tently observing the comet for sew eral nights through a powerful tel escope and his patience has been re- warded by a discovery that may pos; sibly make Halley's comet, which should arrive within seeing distance about May, take a seat sowewhere in the peanut gallery, along with lesser starry lights in the celestial regions.
 Famed though it has been for cen turies, Halley's comet has never been able to display more than one tail. Some astronomers say this comet will have a new appendage when it puts in appearance again. Which has led faeetious funny man to remark that it certainly should have something new after having been out of sight so many years.
 Granting this is true, the status of the two comets will be, in sporting parlanee, "a horse and horse," but if the comets should come close enough to engage in a battle of tails, the odds will be with the new tramp aerial performer at least two to one.

TELLS
 OTHER SIDE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

What may be termned the other side of the meat controversy that is now raging so fercely in the east, received local consideration yesterday by the announcement made by John Hurley. the Phoenix butcher, who is in the city, which throws additional light on the question of favorable import to the retail trade in this ter ritory.
 MT. Hurley imparted the informa- tion that he had received in the pas- few days at his home in the above city several ear loads of hogs from Kansas City, and the price they repre- sent was exactly $1O1O per hundred on foot, delivered. Of this gross weight, approximately half of that is a loss to his business, when it is put on the block, for patrons.
 The public in their haste, do not consider these vital matters affecting the retail trade, he claims, but jump at conclusions too readily by grasp ing the local end of the prevailing prices to remedy the evil, when in reality the trouble rests with the fountain head that makes prices so prohibitive as they are.
 In addition to the above quotations, which are reasonable, MT. Hurley also says that the same hogs must be kept up before slaughtering, and in order to do so the high price of feed that is the rule and the ruin to the meat trade today, is another impor- tant factor to weigh in the eontrO- versy, and in favor of the retailer. Hay in Phoenix is quoted at sl5 per ton, and before it is delivered to

 Altogether the lot of the meat man these days is an unhappy one, and the brunt of the trouble is borne by the retailer, who should be the last to be put in the erucible of the fiery wrath that is on.
