Darby to BE Speaker.
The. committee in charge of ar
rangements and speakers for. the an
nual banquet of the Rock Island
High School Alumni association has
received the welcome news from j.
F. Darby that he will be here to
attend the banquet and to deliver
the principal address. An invitation
was extended to him some time ago
and word from him has anxiously
been awaited since. The banquet
will take place at the high school
June and it is expected that
large number of the graduates of the
school will be in attendance. Mr..
Darby was principal of the high
school from the year 1899 to 1908
and the school owes much of its
present efficiency to him and to the
plans which he laid and which Prin-
cipal H. E. Brown has consistently
followed and formed to meet chang
ing conditions. Mr.. Darby is now
connected with large real estate
firm at Muskogee, Okla.

Methodist sat beside Episcopalian,

the printed program the speakers
were designated by the rank held in
their denominations. anything to in
dictate that more than one church

Bishop Anderson Heard.
Bishop Charles P. Anderson of the
Chicago diocese of the Protestant

address on THE Will of Christ for
the World"
what Christ purposes for one
part of the world, he purposes for
all parts" he said. Christ belongs
not to one nation. but to all nations;
not to one age, but to all ages. Christ
has no competition; he has no rivals.
There is no other way in which man
can be saved except through Jesus
Christ.

logical and inevitable outcome of all
religions. The universally Of the

other things, also upon its proven fit

much greater progress than all othe-
nations.

Bishop Anderson then devoted his
talk to plea for unity and laying
stress on the wastefulness OF over
tapping" which he said is not wise
nor Christian. He did net advocate
anyone giving up his convictions for
the sake of unity, and said no one
had a right to do SO. but said it was
not necessary.

SEE THE COMET?
HERE AT LAST
Halley's Sky Visitor Visible to
Rock Islanders First Time
This Morning.
LONG oBScURED BY CLOUDS
Remained in Sight from to 4:8O a.
m.-Looks Like Fuzzy Star
With a Long Tail.

Rock Island astronomers, ANA
teur and otherwise. who remained in
their warm beds this morning neg
lected fine opportunity to make
hay while the comet was shining.
Mr.. Halley's great discovery was Wis
ible here to the unaided eye for the
first time in rs years at about a.
m. and remained in sight till day
light threw it into obscurity, some
thing like an hour and half later.
There was not a cloud in sight, the
first time in about two weeks that
such conditions have prevailed at
that time in the morning.
The comet was strong enough to
stand out plainly in spite of the fact
that its light was pitted against that
of the moon, now in it's last quarter.
The comet rose at 2:46 with the
moon minute ahead of it a;.G about
20 degrees south. The comet rose
almost due east. Tomorrow morning
the moon will rise later than the
comet and the chance to see the lat
ter will be much improved.
Like Fuzzy star.
AS viewed this morning the comet
appeared very much like a fuzzy
star, hardly of first magnitude. and
shining with a rather reddish or yell
lowish light. The tail stretched of
into the southeastern sky for dis
lance of about 10 degrees, or per-
haps the width of three or four
moons placed side by side. and was
almost as bright as the main body
of the sky tramp.
Comet viewing parties are expect
ed to be popular in Rock Island for
the next two weeks. During that
time Halley's will rapidly approach
the earth. growing in volume daily,
till its tail, the astronomers tell us,
will extend one-third of the distance
across the sky.

Lands That Lie Northwest of
City of Grand Junction.
NO OPPOSITION TO THE PLANS

Today the three county commits
sioners, Messrs. Secor, Bessire and
Dwyer, made trip of inspection, as
required by law, over the large tract
of land northwest OF Grand Junction
and in the neighborhood of. but not
of course including. the w. r. Haines
orchard, the E. II. Craven orchard
and other fine orchards of that sec
tion of the valley, and which tract Is
to be embraced in the new drainage
district to be organized.
The organization of this district is
of great Importance to the county as
the successful carrying out of the
plans of the men behind the move
ment will mean the reclamation of
very large area of land now in seep-
age. 1t will mean that this land will
be planted to orchard and Increase
largely the orchard area of the vai-
ley and the land values of that dis
trict.
Fortunately there is not the slight
est opposition to the formation of
this drainage district and therefore
no election will be necessary. Every
man or woman interested Is in favor
of the formation of the district. 1t
goes without saying that under the
circumstances, the county commits
sioners will approve the plans.

most important professorships in the

The Miller home in Seattle is beau

overlooking the waters of the famous
lake. From the time she reached Sc
attic the aged lady was charmed by
the lovely body of water. and it is
said that she would look out upon its
waters, from the Miller home, for
long periods each day. When she
came down to the close of her long
and noble life. she requested that, af-
