sped Sunday, about 1705 zntlea a
minute. Comet at greatest elonga
tion 'west, or greatest angular dis
tance west of the sun.
Halley's comet is groingr to be a great
disappointment to those who are look
ing for ar awe-inspiring celestial dis
play, says Professor J. V. Daniels, of
the Hill Military Academy, who suc
ceeded In fretting his first view of the
wanderer yesterday morning. He says
that he was a little disappointed him
self in the aspect of the comet, and
that it will never reach the vividness
which people generally are loo.ving for.
Not only will it lose the reflected rays
of the sun as it travels away from
that body, but its tail will spread out
to such wide proportions that its in'
herent luminosity will be greatly
scattered.
Professor Daniels camped on Coun
cil Crest Thursday night and began
looking for the comet at 2:52 A. M.,
at which time it was due- to appear
over the horizon. Clouds and fog in
tervened, however, until 3:15, when
it appeared 30 minutes ahead of the
planet Venus. In brilliancy, it was
inferior to the plant, not even the head
showing as bright as that planet.

the earth and the sun, 19 constantly

and It will be more and more difficult
to discover until the time of its tran
pit, after which it will become visible
in the evening and can be seen any
time after sunset.
A violent Btorm within the gases of
the comet's tail seemed to be going on
mt the time or froiessor Daniels os
servation, as the nucleus constantly
changed Its degree of brightness,
which was visible to the unaided eye.
This action Is ascribed by him to the
heat of the sun, wnicn is assumed to
have caused a flow of superheated gas
Jrom the nucleus, which is nearest the
sun, to the tall, the latter in turn
sending colder gases to replace those
ejected from the head.
S. B. Perree, an engineer on the
Southern Pacific, also believes that
he saw the comet yesterday morning
while running his train between Junc
tion City and Albany. He says that
It was the size of a large star, with a
tail that appeared to be 150 feet long.
MEASURE TAKEN IX ALBANY

ALBANY, Or., May 6. (Special.)
Miss Leila Mitchell, Miss Clara Perry
and Mr. and Mrs. Beebe saw the comet
this morning for an hour. It Is the
first time a good view has been se
cured from this city without a telescope.
It was a little south of east and the

head was about 15 degrees above the
horizon. They could not place It with
reference to Venus, for clouds hid the
planet. The tall of the comet showed
plainly In fact, the watchers found the
comet by seeing the tail before the
nucleus. The tail seemed to encircle
the nucleus, which was not quite at
the head of the comet. The comet was
pointed toward the horizon, with the
tail running upward in a slanting di
rection. Miss Mitchell said that the nucleus
appeared to be about the size of a
third magnitude star, and was not
nearly so bright as many other stars
which were visible. From the view
point of the watchers the nucleus ap
peared to be about 8 Inches across,
while the tail appeared to be about
40 feet long, and 2 feet wide at the
point where it faded into Indistinct
ness. Occasionally the nucleus ap
peared to flash brighter than usual,
and at the same time there would be
a slight reddish glow in the tail.
acute angle with the horizon. It will
undoubtedly brighten rapidly from day
to day during the next two weeks,
when it may become the magnificent
object that the astronomers have been
anticipating. There is no doubt that
the comet's appearance thus far has
been a disappointment to them. For
some unexplained reason it has not yet
shown the brilliancy that was looked
for, and even at this time, nearly three
weeks after It has passed its perihelion,
where its intrinsic brightness should
be the greatest, they are apparently
not certain that It will ultimately pre
sent the magnificent appearance which
its previous history has led them to
expect.
The comet's apparent motion is still
away from the sun, though very slowly,
but in a day or two it will begin to
approach the sun, which it will pass on
the 18th Inst. This transit across the
sun's face has been widely advertised
and much discussed because, in connec
tion with It, the earth will pass
through the comet's tall. Fear of any
direful consequences resulting from
this occurrence will be seen to be en
tirely groundless when we consider the
fact that the density of the earth's at
mosphere is many hundreds of times
greater than that of the comet's tail.
Instead of the tail penetrating the at
mosphere, the fact Is that it will be
broken In two by the impact. The
earth with Its atmosphere will simply
penetrate the tall and cut off a portion
of it, which will be left loose in space
on that side of the earth away from
the comet. This interesting phenome
non will occur, probably, after the sun
has set here, so that whatever there
may be to be seen about the sun, in
connection with the transit, will not be
visible to us. The people living on
the islands in the Pacific and the coast
of Asia will be more favorably situ
ated to observe whatever is to be seen.
But during the night of the 18th it
is possible that the portion of the tall
which is detached by the earth in cut
ting through It may appear as a phos
phorescence, with possibly showers of
meteors, showing first in the Eastern
sky in the early evening, and later on
during the night extending through the
skv towards the West.
The comet will continue to appear In
the Eastern sky In the morning until
after the transit on the 18th, after
which date it will be seen in the West
ern skv in the evening. On the morn
ing of the 18tk It will be seen in the
east with the tall extending toward
the west. In the evening of the 19th,
36 hours later. It will be In the West,
with the tall extending toward the east.
During this; interval the tall, whatever
there may be of It, will have almost
eomnletelv reversed its direction. If
it shall be 30 or 40 degrees In length,
as we are. led to expect It may be,
judging from its appearance on the
previous visits of the comet, then we
may see the outer extremities of the
tail sween slowly across the Northern
slty, as it changes Its direction from
westward to eastward.

FUEL TRUST FEELS
STAGGERING BLOW
School Board Revolts When
Imposition Is Tried and
Buys From Outside.
TAXPAYERS WILL SAVE
Contract Given for $4.1 5 Per Cord.
When Trust Asks $6 to $7 Bids
Opened for Woodstock and
Lents Schoolhouses.
Striking a hard blow at the Port
land fuel "trust," the Board of Educa
tion of School District No. 1 yester
day afternoon ordered 2500 cords of
fir wood from various places in the
heart of the forests surrounding the
city. Chairman Fleischner, . from the
chair, explained that the "board re
fuses to be held up any longer." He
said:
"We won't be robbed by the trust."
Bids received from "trust" firms in
Portland for the same grade of wood
which the board has purchased for
$4.15 delivered in the city, ranged
from $6 to $7 per cord and were re
Jected. This represents a large sav
ing to the taxpayers.
Imposition Long Endured.
For years the Portland fuel dealers
have had an annual chance to pluck
the taxpayers, as the Board of Educa
tion has heretofore submitted to the
outrageous charges made by "trust
dealers, but this time the prices were
so high that It was decided not to
stand for them. Fir wood will be de
livered into the city for $4.15, as
against the price of from $6 to $7
quoted by the trust" firms.
The public schools of this district
consume vast amounts of wood, and
It is probable that Ip future all of
It will be purchased direct from the
forests, unless better rates are quoted
here.
When bids for the new additions to
Woodstock and Lents schools were
opened It developed that tie bids were
submitted by W. B. Steele, Jr.. and J.
H. Sprague. Steele's bids were $24,384
for the Lents building and $23,450 for
the Woodstock building; Sprague's
bids were $23,450 for the Woodstock
building and $23,650 for the Lents
building. There were a good many
other bids, but these were the lowest
and from them the building commit'
tee will select the contractor.
One Bids on Concrete Building.
The board had asked for bids on
concrete. fire-proof buildings, but
Contractor Litcherly was the sole one
to bid on this class of work. His bid
was on the Woodstock building. It
was for $41,000, $17,000 above the low
bid for the same building constructed
of wood.
A committee of three principals.
Messrs. Curtis, of the Sunnyslde
School; Ball, of the Arleta School, and
Read, of Woodlawn School, called to
ask the board for permission to drill
school children for the Rose Festival
East Side parade at 3 o'clock. Instead
of 8:30. Permission was refused.
Chairman Fleischner reported that
the building committee, after consid
ering a report by George Otten, land
scape artist, had decided to ask him
for plans and specifications for im
proving certain school grounds. The
board has a fund of $20,000 for this
purpose, and will try to beautify some
of the sites this Summer.
School children will again this year
contribute flowers for Decoration Day,
to assist the G. A. R. in appropriately
decorating the graves of veterans. The
board gladly gave its consent.
CEMENT PIPE FAVORED
CITIZENS WANT OPEN BIDDING
ON SEWER WORK. .
Trust's Hold Will Be Broken, Pre
dicts Mayor ast Council Com
mittee Adjourns.
"I think we shall break up the terra,
cotta sewer pipe trust," declared Mayor
Simon yesterday, after the sewer com
mittee of the City Council had held
a meeting to listen to taxpayers of
the Rlvers-ide district. Around tnis
particular territory the battle for
"open" specifications is being waged,
as Councilman Ellis chose this, his
own ward, in which to introduce an
ordinance to allow the use of glazed
cement a product 25 per cent cheaper
than terra cotta.
The sewer committee heard some of
the taxpayers of the district, all of
whom favor the competitive bids be
cause the City Engineer has declared
cement to be Just as good as the terra
cotta. Adjournment was taken until
10 o'clock this morning, when the ses
sion will be resumed.
This is proving to be one of the
greatest battles between competitors
known in Portland for years. Owing
to the fact that the city specifications
at present permit only terra cotta, all
other kinds of pipe are barred, giv
ing the terra cotta "trust" the field
to its exclusive use. Councilman Dris
coll has an ordinance before the com
mittee, prohibiting other than terra
cotta. Both measures are being con
sidered. j

an officer of the United States Govern

running out of the Union Depot. The
man arrived off his run last night and
boasted of his ability to evade thus far
being counted. His remarks attracted the
attention of a fellow-worker, and the lat

phone. Mr. (Beach sent an inspector to
take the name.

selves to be counted, they scoured the
hills for their scattered squaws and
