Tonisht's Spectacle Will
Be Brilliant.
Halley's comet was a beautiful sight in
the western sky Sunday night between
the hours of 3 and 10 o'clock. The many
thousands of San Antonlans who had
thus far failed to see the sight were give'i
a good view of the celestial visitor for an
hour or more. Almost directly In tho
west, the comet first became visible, after
the vanishing of the last rays of tlie sun's
illlit, halfway, as It seemed, between the
horizon and the zenith.
Many persons were disappointed, how-
ever, lhat the strong moonlight dispelled
so much of the comet's brilliance. Per-
sons who were energetic enough to see
the comet during the early morning hours
ot Ih'-i week would scarcely focus their
attention upon t lei moonbeam-weakened
' Oniei of last night. Hut for thosn wlio
had never sen the tailed star before, the
sijsht was impressive enough,
'ha nei 'it 11and auro of the comet were
plainly yisibh. to tlie naked eye, but the
USUI of the tail was greatly reduced by
the strong moonlight In a dark sky tha

24 hours. On May 30 the celestial visitor
will he distant from the earth 41,500,000
mile^: a fair start on its way to its
aphelion point far beyond the orbit of
the planet Neptune.
Rip'h celestial visions of splendor and
beauty are indeed rare in the span of
life and should be witnessed by all. Both
moon and comet will be beautiful in
opera glasses Tt Is well to notice the
comet for a darkened area in the streamer
or the rear of the nucleus. Also the in-
tensity of light and comparative invisibil-
ity of stars through the tail.
The total phase of the lunar eclipse
usually brings out a weird copper-colored
radiance or faint glow on the moon's
disk. In the great telescope all light is
not extinguished, even at middle of to-
tality. Outside of mountains, craters and
bods of ancient sens 'supposed) are vis-
ible. At the time of the eclipse the moon
will be in the plane of the earth's orbit,
which always passes through the center
of the sun and earth. And the sun "ill

COMMERCE STREET.
As the Commerce Street widening
proposition has been practically without
appreciable progress during t he past
week, it is doubtful if Alderman Ma ner-
mann will present his ordinance author-
izing the widening and putting the neces-
sary power in the Mayor to complete all
arrangements pursuant to this authori-
zation and embodying the Mayor's sug-
gested amendment requiring north side
owners to guarantee $85,000 contribution
to assist in the work before the Council
calls a bond election in improvement
district No. 4. The ordinance is now
pending its third reading, and as the
Mayors position in the matter is well
understood by Commerce Street own-
ers, and they have not yet secured all
the necessary deeds conveying strips
trom south side property between the
tables are being grown on farms irrl- j
gated from the San Antonio River and
artesian wells. The product of these
farms has never harmed a consumer.
In addition to this acreage of clean
vegetables there are probably two or
three acres of vegetables grown on
farms irrigated from the sewer water
several miles below the city. These
sewer farm vegetables were the subj« ct
of an investigation by the State, county
and city health officers and their sale
was prohibited, although it was shown
that practically all of them were being
grown for home consumption by the I
people living on the farms where the I
vegetables were grown and that the en-
tire crop would not supply San Antonio
for on< day.
The marketing of vegetables is under j
the supervision of the county and city j
health officers, and if it were possible
to make up a shipment of sewer farm I
vegetables—which it is not, for they do I
not exist in sufficient quantities—the |
shipments could not be made because 1
the county health officers would pre-
vent it.
A great hue and cry has been made by '
irresponsible publications in San Antonio
regarding this sewer farm truck and
considerable damage has resulted to the
vegetable industry. The stories of ship-
ments to Dallas—which were never made
—have reached that' city and caused
alarm among the people.
William Van Hoogenhuyze of San An-
tonio has written to The Express from
Dallas calling attention to the situation
there with reference to the San Antonio
shippers as follows:
LETTER TO EXPRESS.
"Editor San Antonio Express, San An-
tonio, Tex. Dear Sir: I notico in this
evening's Dallas Dispatch the enclosed
clipping. As I consider it a great injus-
tice to our city L immediately called
upon the editor of said paper and ex-
plained to him the situation as it was
and gave him the whole history. I ex-
plained to him that Dr. Brumby had
been there investigating the situation
and am sure that the San Antonio mar-
ket gardeners are not shipping any I
produce to Dallas or anywhere else which
is not fit to be consumed in San Antonio.
Ihe editor was pleased that I called
because he did not understand the situ-
ation that way and he will in tomor-
row's paper verify what 1 have told
him.
THE DALLAS REPORT.
The publication referred to bv Mr
Van Hoogenhuze is in part as follows:
"Reports that Dallas Is receiving veg-
etables thrown out of San Antonio mar-
kets because they were raised in a dis-
trict watered by the output of a city
sewer are being investigated today by
City chemist Landon C. Moore. He was
in touch with State Health Officer
Brumby by telephone todav and a State
investigation of the alleged traffic is
probable. ^
"So far Chemist Moore has not found
any of the suspected produce in Dallas
markets and the supposition is that it has
been shipped, but has not vet arrived

He Says Traffic Ordinance Must Be
Complied With, and So Instructs
His Men—He Means Business.
"Seven of every eight drivers of auto-
mobiles In San Antonio exceed the speed
limit as provided for in the new traffic
ordinance on turning corners and cross-
ing bridges; within a few days we will
arrest all violators; the speed limit on
the corners and across the bridges is
four miles on hour, about the velocity of
an average walk of a horse."-Statement
of Chief of Police Van Riper, Sunday
afternoon.
Paragraph 1!) of the new traffic ordi-
nance provides that no vehicle shall
cross any street or bridge or make any
turn at Street intersections at a greater
speed than four miles an hour. The
police have been enforcing all other pro-
visions of this ordinance, taking them up
one by one, and, according to Chief Van
Riper, this paragraph concerning turn-
ing corners and crossing bridges will be
next enforced, It is expected that a
large per cent of the drivers of automo-
biles will either cut down their speed at
the corners or pay fines.
Patrolman B. B, Lacy, whose beat is
South Alamo Street and East Commerce,
took a few statistics Sunday afternoon.
Between the hours of 4;1!0 o'clock anil ti:30
o'clock there were 200 automobiles passed
the Joske-Washer Bros, corner. Of this
number 175 were running at a speed of
from six to ten miles an hour, according
to the estimate of Patrolman Laeey.
The clause of the new ordinance which
calls for lamps on all vehicles after a
certain hour in the evening will be en-
forced by the patrolmen, beginning next
Wednesday evening. After this date all
vehicles abroad on the streets at night
must have lights of some description,
otherwise the drivers will be arrested.

ately in order that any improvements
necessary may be made in good time.
One of the features of the celebration
will be a big parade in which the crafts
of the city will be represented.
The following are the committees ap-
pointed yesterday which will have to do

State Entomologist Discusses Pan-
handle and Llano Estacado in the
Bulletin—Much Valuable Data.
For the purpose of securing accurate
Information on the agricultural possl
bllitles of the Panhandle and Llano
Kstacado country, State Entomogolist Fred
W. Maliy has recently made a careful
survey of these sections, the results of
which have been published by the State
Department of Agriculture in a bulletin
entitled "The Panhandle and Llano Ksta-
cado of Texas."
This report is extremely valuable inas-
much as the author went into detail when
the survey was mode and was largely
assl-ster- by the citizens nf that country.
Prof. Miilly gives the geographical limits
of the sections studied and follows with
a general discussion of the topography
and soils.
Accurate and concise data upon all man-
ner of grain and forage crops was ob-
tained. both in sections where rainfall
was abundant and where these crops have
to be grown by means of Irrigation. Grains
and grasses were carefully studied, the
most promising being enumerated and de-
scribed.
The live stock Industry receives con-
siderable attention, as does truck farm-
ing, horticulture anrl dairying, In fact
there is no feature of agriculture now in
practice or having a promising future In
these sections that the report does not
discuss from every standpoint.
In brief, the Investigation brings a vast
amount of valuable Information available
to the Texas citizen and the prospective
ettler, and it Is well worth the time
and trouble to write for a copy of the
bulletin.
In discussing the truck growing pos-
sibilities, with particular reference to
cantaloupes. Prof. Mally says:
"But most important, this Panhandle
pr"! Plains territory has ari almost ideal
climate during the gathering and market-
ing season in which to mature, gather and
handle the crop. It is difficult for me to
do otherwise than to consider this crop
one of those which should be encouraged
and made to become one of the greatest
wealth producing crops ,if the Panlmndl"
