MYSTERIES OF sun
WILL BE OBSERVED

Baker Ore.--All the thrills and
creepy feelings, especially among
those inclined to superstition, which
tradition connects with total eclipse
of the sun, are part Of the real thing,
according to Prof. S. A. Mitchell, di-
rector of the Leander Mccormick OBJ
servatory at the University Of Viz
ginia, who is a member of the gov
ernment party from the United States
naval observatory here to study the
eclipse of June s.
"The darkness preceding an eclip-
se," said Prof Mitchell, begins 10
or Is minutes before totality and
lasts about that long after the eclipse
begins to pass. Even scientists and
men who have made long time
study are affected by it.
There is a weird and unnatural
atmosphere that suggests the end of
the world, even to us hardened OBJ
servers it gives creepy feeling.
"All the time-honored stories about
the chickens going to roost, owls and
bats coming out, are absolutely true
and may be observed here next
month"
Members of the government party
are busy setting up their instruments
and apparatus on the county fair
grounds, from which point their OBJ
servations will be made.
The scientists will have daily ere
hearsals" in preparation for the event
and 1t will require all the time be-
tween now and June 8 to get every
thing ready. Preparations must be
complete, instruments set and men
prepared to take advantage of every
precious second of the l minute and
So seconds totallty of the eclipse.
Practically all the work doro will

party will concentrate on this phase

alone will make visual study of the
phenomenon.

OREGON MUST USE
OIL SUBSTITUTES

There is no doubt now but that
Oregon will be compelled to depend
almost wholly upon wood and coal
this winter for heat and power. The
fuel oil director of the national fuel
administration has definitely decid-
ed to withdraw tankers from the
northwestern run for Atlantic serv-
ice only those absolutely necessary
to care for the needs of industries
whose names will appear on the pri-
ority list, soon to be published.
In cases where concerns using oil
cannot convert their plants for coal
or wood within the next six months,
efforts may be made to supply them
by train from the California fields
All concerns using fuel oil have been
instructed to report to Coast Fuel
Oil Director Folsom of San Fran
cisco whether they can substitute for
oil. Those who cannot make the
change have until June 10 to so no
tify Folsom.
The extra demands for wood and
coal which will result from curtail-
ment of oil fuel will have marked
effect, and Fuel Administrator
Holmes of Oregon points out that il
will increase danger of a shortage
this winter. He advises household
ers to get in their supplies now AMI
take no chances.

use Of one little ever ready light
could see the whole thing apparently
caving in and coming our way. 1t did
not take us long to get out, you may
believe. AS we had, earlier In the eve

could think Of in driving stakes in

was nothing further to do, especially

Of my life. Even bungling as we do,
we can't help feeling that everything
we do for these soldier boys of ours
is worth while.
IT sometimes sell thousand francs
worth of goods a day, and that means
some hustling.' Your pastor is devel-
Oping into a fairly decent salesman,
for I fill in often at the post exchange,
and, of course, have my regular hours
on duty there with the others. One
of our difficulties has been to keep on
hand a sufficiently large supply of
small change, so much SO that copper
sous have haunted our dreams. More
over, to have a man hand in a twenty
dollar bill. in purchasing fifteen cents
worth of chocolate. and ask for the
change in French money makes q
rather knotty problem for our anna
teur counter-jumpers.
Sunday has been our busiest day.
as the men are much freer so we
have the post exchange open right
through from IL o'clock to the hour
OF service in the evening.
A Days Work i'm France.
Some days here It seems as though
we had to create the whole universe
over again from the beginning before
we could got q dinner cooked, or per-
form any other ordinary occupation
Of daily life, Even the mailing Of a
letter means taking 1t to one particu-
lar place, and climbing several flights
of stairs to the room where 1t is given
to the censor. Oh, how simple the
old life seems, as / look back ON 1t,
where the people In the stores talk
English, and the plumber comes with
reasonable promptness when you send
for him, and the main part OF the
minor machinery Of life seems to run
itself.
Most Of my days are made up Of
queer miscellany of occupations. Some
of the things that I happen to call to
mind from the doings Of this past
week, for instance, are going after
wood, which we have to transport
ourselves; comforting with the quar-
termaster, with the chief engineer
about the electric lights, and several
times with the commandant and the
mayor about a building for the Off
GERS club; arranging with sergeant
in the barracks nearby to help us in
the disposition OF our swill; shopping
in the town for lights, and CRATES for
the stove, and mats; writing and tele-
graphing to Paris for more workers
and another automobile; drawing
checks and paying bills.
Much of my work is of q humdrum
order, such as problems of carpen-
try and paint and plumbing; for our
hut is still incomplete, and indeed,
roof, walls, floor and windows were
all that existed when we opened our
doors to the soldier public.

MAN OF ALL WORK
Y. M. c. A. HUSTLER
Former Worcester Pastor Finds
Day in France Too Short
New York. April 10.


"Some hustling!"
That's what it takes to attend to the
needs Of our American troops over
seas, according to a letter just re-
ceived from Y. M. G. A. worker in
France.
At home the writer, the Rev. Shop
herd Knapp, is pastor of the Central
Church OF Worcester, Mass. He was
formerly assistant pastor of the Brick
Presbyterian Church Of New York. He
is a graduate of Columbia university
and Of Yale Divinity school, But is
he preaching over there in Flanders?
He is not Here's why he isn't.
He's a member Of the "broom
squad" in the Y. M. G. A hut He's
a salesman in the post exchange a
fairly decent one" he admits, in a
place where sometimes the sales are
$1,000 a day. He attends to getting
supplies there on time. Sometimes he
carries bundles of wood on his back
to the hut, when there isn't any other
way Of getting it there. He sees that
supplies reach the post exchange on
time. Sometimes he cooks, that
the boys may have their hot cocoa
and sandwiches and soup just when
they need them most.
There are times when he has to
"create the universe over again" in
order to get the cOmmonest conven-
fences and comforts for our Am eri-
can soldiers. You have to do that
and a thousand other things If you are
a Y NJ c.. A worker in France just
now. Educators and ministers known
all over the United States, and bust
ness men whose services at home are
worth five-f1gure salary a year, are
acting as porters and chefs and roust-
abouts for our soldiers in France.
"Having the Time Of My Life"
He writes of his miscellany of duties
as follows:
This is busy life! Up soon after
six, breakfast (from the mems mess)
over by 7:15 o'clock, and then steadi-
1y on the job till 10 o'clock at night,
with not more than half an hour out
for dinner, and the same for supper.
The result is that the days go by like
lightning, and / am having the time

5000 francs, that IS $4,000 to $1,000.
can we'll believe that there were over
500 men in the line at one time.
I'VE received yesterday our con-
sfgnment of fifty boxes Of apples from
the International Apple Shippers AS
ISOLATION of America, which they are
sending for free distribution among
the enlisted men. We have not count
ed noses nor apples, but we shall try
TO devise some method SO that every
man gets q taste. The apples come
from Oregon and California"

Greenlee and Clifton Excel
 Messrs. Pickens Anderson and A. R. Lynch left here on Wednesday of last week, for an automobile tour of different parts of Arizona and New Mexico. They returned to Clifton on Monday evening, having visited Lordsburg, Miami, Florence, Phoenix and other cities. MT. Anderson said they travelled approximately 709 miles, and saw no roads which com pared with those of Greenlee, and no city visited had such splendid streets nor were any as well kept as those of Clifton. One has to leave Clifton occasionally, to fully appreciate our civic improvements. This will be considerably augmented with the com pletion of the concrete bridge, which will be one of the handsomest in the state.

MRS. HORTON DIED
 LAST WEDNESDAY

Photographic messages were receiv- ed by friends here Thursday convey ing the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. E. V. Horton, which occur red at Hurricane Mills, Tenn, on July 10, where the Hortons have been for some time.
 This estimable lady formerly re- sided in Clifton, with her husband E. V. Horton, who was formerly county attorney and one of the lead ing lawyers of the Greenlee bar. MT. Horton gave up his official posi- tion, that of County Attorney and his well established law practice on account of Mrs. Horton's precarious health. They returned to their na- tive state, Tennessee, to await the fatal termination of the end which was manifestly evident, as the dread disease with which she was afflicted, was slowly but surely sapping her life away. Many telegrams of con- dolence were sent to the bereaved husband by friends in this city, and the local lodge of Elks sent a beau tiful floral offering.

The graci- ous hostess served delicious refresh ments at seasonable hour, but the evenings pleasures were not term mated until an early morning hour.
