ECLIPSE PARTIALLY
FIRST FEW MINUTES GOOD
After That Clouds Gathered over
Sol, With Occasional Breaks
The much heralded eclipse came
Saturday afternoon, starting at
2 :88. The clouds had been gath
ering since, morning, but shortly
after noon the sun rays broke
thro, and when the eclipse start
ed at 2:88 there was some sun
shine. The shadow of the moon
gradually crept over the face of
old Sol, and in 15 minutes one
ould see the conformation of
the moon for nearly 180 degrees
of its circle, top and bottom.
The clouds then covered the sun
and it was only at intervals that
any view could be obtained.
About four o clock the tw i
light deepened until chickens
started to roost and the birds
alighted on the telephone wires
along the street. At 4:15 it com
menced to grow lighter, and at
5:03 the sun had crawled by the
eclipse path.
In Eastern Oregon the sun
shine was bright and there were
many fine views of the phenome
na. Many from Portland, and a
few from here, went down to Co
ble, but they experienced the
same weather conditions there
and the trip was more or less of
a disappointment.
Many a glass was smoked m
the old town, and it was amusing
to see the amateur work in this
regard. Many made too good a
job of smoking their glasses, cov
ering them too well, and they
were obliged to wipe off the soot
and re-smoke them before they
could even get a "rise" out of
king Sol.
Hillsboro had about 95 per
cent, total eclipse, the city being
all of 25 miles out of the totality
belt.

A CARD
Laurel, Or., June 10
To the Editor: I see
been designated as one
shirkers in a mis-statement in
your paper headed "Laurel
Roads. I have never refused
to ratify any special tax levy
where the money is to be expend
ed in District No. 3. Only half
of the levy is to be expended in
District No. 3, the other half to
be expended in District No. 6.
The taxpayers in District No. 8
were promised that if they voted
a five mill tax to be expended on
the Laurel-Hillsboro road run
ning through District No. 6, the
taxpayers in District 6 would
vote a similar amount, whiwh
they failed to do, and conse
quently if I can I will prevent
any of my money going to help
out' another district when the
other district won't reciprocate.
We have enough to do to fix our
own roads without butting into
other peoples' affairs.
Am glad Laurel folks are
strong for good rock roads. The
present roads are getting rather
"rockv." I was told if I didn't
sign the ratification petition I
would be advertised. While not
native-born, I am 100 per cent.
American and no unAmerican
methods can be used to swerve
me from doing what I believe to
be absolutely right.
