Comet
Still in Shadow

Only 135,000,0 900 mi es separate the
earth from Halleys comet today.
While the telescopes at the. observa-
tories are reporting the comet, no one
in Walla Walla has seen it yet. ap-
parently. Half an hour before the
comets time for raising this morning
the sky was clear in the east, but d
few minutes later a pail of low flying
clouds swept from the south like a
curtain, so thick that even the bright
est of the stars We're obscured. AS
the comet is now reported about the
size of a sixth magnitude star, it could
scarcely compete with the fog of the
early morning
Astronomers say that only the hee9.
is visible. There is a difference Of op-
inion as to when the comet should be
observed with the naked eye. but all
the authorities agree that this should
be within 10 days. There is a SKY
sharp" down in Georgia who declares
that the comet will be seen at 10
o'clock next Friday morning. How he
figures that out has not been explain
ed, for the comet is rising a little ear
ier than the sun each day and Friday
it will appear an hour and a half be-
fore the sun. Three Walla Walan
reported yesterday that they saw
something that might have been the
comet yesterday morning The trio
met between 4 and 4 80 and in the
southeast saw a star affair of yellow
ish tinge from which six short stream
ers were pendant Inasmuch as the
telescopes have not seen a tail on the
comet thus far, the Walla Wallans
were evidently mistaken, although
they assert that they saw what they
saw, whether it was the comet or not.

One of the big questions of vital i'm
portance to Walla Walla and south
eastern Washington, and one in which
every resident of this part of the west
is greatly interested, was acted upon
this monaing by the senate, by the
passage of the Jones bill, which au
thorizes the sale of the Fort Walla
Walla military reservation to Whit
man college for $3.50 an acre. In case
the bill is passed by the house, it is
rumored the college proper and the
technical buildings will be located on
the fort grounds, and that the con-
servatory and Pearson's academy will
be retained on the present college
grounds
Learning some time ago that the
war department was considering the
advisabi ity of abandoning Fort Wal
Ia Walla, the college authorities took
up the campaign to secure the dona-
tion of the land to the college. This
failed, however, mainly because of ad-
verse criticism, whereupon an amend
ment to the bill was offered, providing
for the sale of the land at $3.50 an
acre

NEW YORK, April 13.-The jury
in the federal court today refused to
allow Attorney Hartridge any damages

Harry Thaw in the murder trial. AT

jury and disbarment proceedings

due him for services and expenses IN

clared they had already paid the attor-
ney in full and had not authorized the
expenses which he claims he con-
tracted.
Hartridge had already been pald
aboue $4,000 by Thaw's before he
started suit. Regarding the money
Hartridge claimed he paid to WIT

was not paid there are grounds for
prosecution for perjury. If the mon

Prosecuted for obstruction of justice.
In any event there is ground for ols-

Highway Commissioner in

Interesting Facts.

GOOD ROADS MOVE
State Road No. 8 to Pass
Through Walla Walla
And to Portland.

Prisoners worked on the public
highways in Washington earned $1.66
a day each in March, according to the
report of Henry L. Bowlby, state high
way commissioner for this state. This
sum was realized as profit by the
state, estimating the work at contract
rates, after the cost of maintaining
the convicts' camp had been deducted
from the total value of the work.
The report is being used as an ar
gument favoring the working of pris-
oners on the public highways of Ore
gon.
The building of public highways in
Washington received an impulse when
the last legislature laid out COM
prehensive pan for highway develop
ment. Leading to this action has been
growing demand from each road dis
trict. A chair of highway engineering
