After a delay of two months tha
insurance companies have settled the
loss occasoned by the burning of the
Walter l.. TooHe general merchandise
store at Falls City. 1t is reported that
the amount paid Mr.. Tooze was about
$4,000. Being unable to agree on n
settlement after the fire, Mr.. Tooze
sought reimbursement from the insur-
ance companies by authority of the
clause in his policies providing for adj
.ustment by arbitration. Mr.. Tooze
chose r. e. Williams to represent his
interest and the insurance people Sc
lected a Mr.. Berridge, financial eX-
pert of Portland. After repeated con-
ferences, the two arbitrators found
themselves unable to agree on third
man. Mr.. Tooze then employed coun-
sci with the intention of carrying the
matter into court. Further proceed
ings were made unnecessary late last
week by the insurance companies COM
ing forward and Offering to settle.
While lacking a few hundred dollars
of the total amount of insurance car
ried, the offer of the companies was
accepted by Mr.. Tooze and a settle
ment was effected.

BERKELEY, Cat, May 1s.-HaI-
Iey's comet will begin its transit
across the face Of the sun at
7:3s:10 p. m. tonight, Pacific stan.
dard time. This is the latest and
most authentic computation, and
was made by Prof. A. o. Lueschner,
astronomer at the University Of Cal.
ifornia, at the request Of the Astro.
nomical and ,Astrophysieai society
Of Washington, D. c.
Because observations located
farthest west are nearest the comet
and the sun at the latest moment
that the comet was visible in Amer.
lea, the photographs and observa-
tions taken along the Pacific coast
are regarded by scientists as the
most accurate data for final COM
putations Of the comets passage.
For this reason, Professor Leusch-
ner was asked to compute the time
of the passage of the comet across
the face of the sun and passage of
the earth through the comets tail.
These figures are sent out by the
United Press today.
BY PROF. A. o. LUESCHNER.
The comet will be in transit
across the face Of the sun tonight.
The time of ingress will be 7:39: 10
p. m. The middle of transit will be
8: :08: AS p, m. and the time of egress
8:37:46 p. m. These figures are
Pacific standard time.
s"The transit, Theoretically, may
be observable from points only in
the Pacific ocean, although It is
doubtful If astronomers of the orr
ent will be able to discern the
transit. g
"The earth will enter the tail Of
the comet tonight at. .-54 o. M, and
will emerge at IL, p. M, passing
through at the rate Of 80 miles a
second.
1T therefore may be seen that
the earth will take about five hours
longer in passing through the tail
Of the comet than the comet will
take in passing across the face OF
the sun"
