Cold Weather in Harney.

Harvey county has been exper-
iencing colder weather this month
than for the past four syears. The
thermometer has been registering
"a degrees below z9ro in this city,
and at the Narrows, on Malheur
Lake, 80 below zero. The coldest
period in the history of HarDey
County was from December Is to
January l9, during all of which
time the Thermometer registered
3 to "a degrees below zero. The
stockmen are losing their animals
by the thousands. The sheepmen
in the Stein Mountain country
have not been feeding for the past
three win terra, and the cold wealth
er has caught them without sup
plies. They, cannot purchase hay,
as the cattlemen are holding it for
their own use. Several big stock
men of Hsrney county have suf-
fersd heavy loss, and if the snow
and cold hold on until the 1st of
March, as in former hard winters,
the loss of sheep and cattle will
be very heavy, as hay is getting
short with some of the stockgrow
ers and the price has risen from So
to S8 per ton in the last few days,
with some holding for S15 per ton.

Comet Brushes Earth on
May Is.

Haley's comet will give the Pacific
Coast a close brush this year on May
Is, between the hours Of 4 and /.
O'Clock, p. m. and the "brush" will
be something spectacular. says Pro-
fessor Charles Burkhalter of the
Chabot observatory.
The earth will then pass through
the last of the 20 900 .O00-mile tail Of
the celestial visitor, and the result
NAV be as dazzling piece of fire.
works as this generation Las ever
witnessed.
The news that Haley's comet will
be seen only on the Pacific coast has
not hitherto been published, although
the fact has been known for some time
to the astronomers of the world. many
of whom may come west to see the
great spectacle.
Astronomers Cromelin and Cowell
of the Royal Observatory at Green
wick have probably made the most

Burkhalter.
According to the computations.
HaIeY's comet will reach the descend

will be in a direct line between the
orbits Of the earth and the sun. ard it

Government Helps Irri-
CATION.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Senate
irrigation committee today drafted {
substitute for the Borab- -Ballinger
bill authorizing the issuance Of $50 ).
900 900 worth Of bonds to assist in the
completion of Government irrigation
projects.
Aside from changing the name OF
the securities from bonds TO certifi-
Gates, the committee made no material
change in the Borah bill. except to
provide that moneys shall be applied
exclusively to the completion of
existing projects or extensions thereof.
No new projects can be built with this
fund.
The committee is of the opinion
that the bill can be passed through
the Senate without difficulty, and
Senator Jones was again delegated to
confer with Speaker Cannon to see
what can be done about getting the
measure through ths House.
Carter told the committee Cannon
would not consent to the passage of
a bond bill, but would support bill
issuing certificates. Jones is to see
if the Speaker will positively commit
himself to this extent.
A long and interesting session was
held by the committee, in which was
fought the question of issuing bonds
or certificates of indebtedness. The
on which the proposed
legislation is based is contained in
Senator Borah's bill providing for
the authorization of a $50 900 900
bond Issue. This measure was pre-
pared bv him after a conference with
Taft anG Secretary Ballinger
while the President was in the West
last Summer.
Whether certificates or bonds are
authorized. the securities may be
issued as needed W to limit of $780,
100 900 and will draw per cent
interest. payable quarterly.
The payment will be guaranteed by
he Government out of the reclama-
ion fund. Mr.. Borah and supporters

opportunity of observing this transit
that is absolutely unique and without
precedent in the history of the comet.
''The comet is near the calculated
position at the present time. and
there is no reason for believing the
work of Cowell and Cromelin Will
need much or any revision. So we
can believe that the predictions of
the coming phenomenon will be full
filled.

security would be the most readily

According to the figures before the
committee, 81 400 900 out of the $780,
600 900, is intended for the klamath
project: $50 900 for Umatilla, ST.

DAIRY INTERESTS THREATENED

As the leading dairy State of New
England, and one OF the foremost
states in the Union, in the manufae
ture of butter, Vermont naturally
takes keen interest in the bill be-
lore Congress, providing for the re-
hoVal OF the tax of ten cents
pound on oleomargarine colored in
imitation of butter. II is evident that
one OF the hardest fights Of the ses-
sion will be waged over this mea-
sure as shown by the Journal'g
Washington correspondent elsewhere
m this paper. As indicated in the
dispatch alluded to powerful inter
ests are combined in favoring the
removal of this tax. 1t will be re.
membered that the late Gen w. w.
"rout' for many years Representative
III Congress for this district. was
largely instrumental in PROTECTING
me dairy interests of this State from
the unfair competition of bogus but

1t is urged with much plausibility

consumer. This has been true the
past winter but it is a natural law

production is extremely profitable a

But few persons really desire t. eat

There are many hotels and board

it is cheap. for table use, who would

He was man of kindly instincts, had

ARBOR DAY SUGGESTIONS.

Governor Prouty's Arbor Day pro-
clamaton very properly calls atten-
ton to the beauty of our trees and
the utility of our forests. On this
day special emphasis should be laid
on the general subject of forestry.
The children in the public schools
should be taught not only that
symmetrical tree is one of the most
tcharming of natural objects but also
the importance of preserving and
even increasing our forests. The
youth of our State should learn the
truth regarding our forestry problem.
They should know the effect of a gen.
eral stripping of the hills around the
headwaters of streams, the waste of
the ordinary methods of cutting tim
Der, and the economy of the lumber
ing methods employe in Germany.
In earlier days trees We're consid-
cred as obstacles to civilization,
something of which the pioneers
wished to rid themselves. Now all
this is changed. Unless we are will
ing to be, generally speaking, tree
less country, new methods must be
adopted. More trees must be plant
ed. Present day numbering operations
must be conducted according to pro-
cess of selection, only the mature
trees being cut, while the younger
growth is spared for future use.
A campaign of education is being
carried on, but its scope must be en-
larged. The public must be taught
fust what the continuation of policy
of forest wastefulness means and how
our timber resources may be con-
served If we begin with the child
rem we shall educate the rising gen
Grafton to appreciate the importance
of forest conservation, result great
ly to be desired
We do very little as State. COM
pared with what we might accomplish
in the matter of planting trees and
shrubs for shade and ornamental pur-
poses. Think what might be done in
beautifying the grounds around ou
homes. our schools, our churches
our public buildings, in adding TO the
attractiveness of our parks, our Gene
teries. and our roads.
Every child should be taught no
only the so-called practical branche:
of learning, but also to cultivate
a love for the beautiful in Nature a:
we'll as in art. Flowers are raised
so easily, and satisfy the natura
craving for beauty so completely tina
it is pity that we grow so few o
them.
Let MS make more of Arbor Day
planting flowers and shrubs for on
own delight and trees for the com
fort and the joy, perhaps, of others
Its possibilities are almost limitless
This year is good time to begin
larger celebration of the day.
