The path of the shadow of the
moon during the eclipse of the June
0,1s conveniently accessible at a num
ber of places in the United States. The
duration of totality will range from
about two minutes on the Pacific
coast to less than a minute on the
Fiona coast.
This eclipse is a repetition of the
one that occurcd on May 28, 1900, and
which was observed at that time by
two parties sent from the Naval
Observatory, one being located at
Pinchurst, N. C, and the other at
Barnesville and Experiment. Ga.
The moon's shadow will strike the
earth at sunrise in the Pacific Ocean,
aimoast directly south of Japan. In its
sweep eastward it crosses that ocean
and touches the United States just to
the south of Seatle, Wash. It then
sweeps in a southeasterly direction
across lower Washington, upper Ore
gon and on to the Southwest, entering
the Atlantic ocean just below Titus-
ville, Fla. In general the width of the
shadow will be approximately CO
miles.
Some of the cities and towns that
will be within the shadow path are
Baker, Oregon; Vale, Oregon; Pocatcl-
10, Idaho and Denver Colo.
For those who are within the limits
of the shadow path the following will
be interesting: At time to escape the
planet Jupiter will bo near the sun,
and can no doubt be seen. It will be
located on the cast side of the sun, and
almost in the same declination.
Mercury will bo to the west and
south of the sun. The bright star that
will be directly north of Jupiter is
Beta Tauri, and Alpha Tauri will be
south and west of the sun and between
it and Mercury.
Under an appropriation of $3,500 by
Congress, the Naval Observatory will
undertake observations of the eclipse
and will equip a station. It has select
ed as the site ot the observing station
a point near Baker, Oregon, where a
large number of prominent scientists
will make observations.
Telescopes, photographic attach
ments, moving pictures, and a wireless
station will be used lor the observa
tions.
The Nautical Almanac Office of the
Naval Observatory has prepared
DamDhlets entitled. "The Total Eclinse
of tho Sun June 8, 1918," including-
maps and charts. The width of the
moon's shadow is indicated on the
maps and also times and durations of
totality.
The Naval Observatory has copies
of the above pamphlet, and will dis
tribute as many as can be spared to
those who can show they have use
lor them.

VISITS SCHOOLS
OVERCOUNT!
County Superintendent Pays Call to
Schools in Southern Part of County
County Superintendent, Fay Clark,
made a five day auto trip last week
visiting tho southernmost schools in
the county including the McDormitt,
Oregon Canyon, Rome, Jordan Valley,
Pleasant View and Rockville schools.
Other members of the Dartv were:
Mrs. R. E. Weant, auxiliary chairman
of the Red Cross. Mrs. T. M. Lowo a
member of the Owyhee Red Cross and
district, State vice-president of the
Parent Teacher Associations, Mrs.
George Huntington Currey, publicity
chairman of the Vale Red Cross. O.
W. Propst acted as driver on the trip.
Keen interest was found in tho rural
schools not only in the prescribed
course of study and the coming eighth
grade and final examinations, but also
in the Red Cross and various war
campaigns which have been put over
in the last few weeeks. Most 01 the
schools visited had high average
pupils ready for the eighth grade ex
aminations assuring a large gain in
next year's high school enrollments.
On the trip one is constantly surprised
to step from tne sage urusn wastes
into well lighted, neatly kept and
artistically arranged school rooms
which are presided over with the
same exactness of the larger institu
tions in the cities.
Miss Clark visited a short time at
each school and gave interesting talks
to .the students. On the work of the
boys and girls of today and its re
lation to the future of our Nation.
She also outlined and explained many
perplexing school problems.
Country Prosperous
Ranchers in eeneral in tho southern
part of tho county are optimistic over
the cominrr vear's crons. Thousands of
acres of alfalfa are in good condition
and as vet on the lower ranches
water is plentiful. Beginning Wednes
day evenintr and continuinE to Fri
day between McDermitt and Jordan
Valley territories was visited by heavy
showers. In crossing Battle Mountain
on the return from McDermitt the
Vale party encountered quite a snow
storm and a wind wnicn iroze ice on
the windshield.
Throughout the lower nart of the
county patriotic activities are marked
and the neonle there nromise that all
calls for aid from tho government will
receive the same hearty response that
the Third Liberty Loan campaign did
when they more than doubled their
quota. At Jordan Valley a huge flag
pole has been erected and each even
ing a "Reveille" is sounded by a
bugler, the flag is lowered. The cere
mony is most impressive.
Jordan Valley schools close Thurs
day, May 9, and the Superintendent
was in attendance at the closing
exercises.
