stones even broke china ware within.
In the timber the ground was strewn
with broken limbs and cones from the
pines, and few trees were uprooted
or broken off. The shingles on roots
facing the south were badly shattered
and some fences RACED to the ground.
Farmers lost from S to 100 chickens,
even old hens were killed and birds
struck dead in their nests and in the
fields. Violence was done to persons
whose pates were unfortunately ex-
posed to the fury of the elements, as
blue swelllngs attests. Where shall we

small fruits, and will our tattered
vegetables ever spring out OF the

of Dodge & Lewis, who have mill
about 3 miles east of here capable Of

the new brewery Of Henry Rimerger,
said to be the best brewery of the
northwest. He has constructed sub
stantial building 4OxsO feet and is fin
ished in permanent style and placing
in it all the requisite appliances for
making the best class of beer, and if
he keeps up the reputation he achieved
at Colville he will supply the article
for all the towns for many miles and
make killing i'll the business. Mr..
Schwartz is now engaged setting his
furnaces, who is first class mechanic
in his line, and he and Mr. Rimerger
say they will send to the TELLER office
keg Of the first beer they manufact
ure here, so look out. Mr.. Wood, the
proprietor, and his family, entertained
US Hospitality while here and gave US
all the information that was in his
power to give in regard to this section
from his experience of ten years here
abouts. Yesterday we rode to the
bridge and dined and had pleasan,
chat with Mr.. Crowley who gave u.
several amusing incidents connected
with the Indian troubles of 1877. HI

FROM LIDYVILLE.
LIDYvlLLE, June 4, 1881

DlNlLLE, v uuC 4, 1901.
Ed. TELLER:-On Friday evening
June 8, at 4 o'clock, q fearful hail
storm accompanied by tightening swept
over this portion of the Potlatch.
The dense shaped clouds touched the
hill tops, and moved with o great
velocity in a north easter;y direction,
sucking up the dust from the thirsty
earth and hurting it together with a
dense volume of hail stones the size of
walnut upon the frightened crea-
lures below. The storm lasted about
fifteen minutes, and the large, hard
hail stones were driven with such vi
olence by the wind that the earth was
literally swept and pounded by the
crystal shot. After the storm a scene
of fearful havoc was presented to our
vision, which 6esgars description
The storm struck with the greatest
force about one mile and half west of
Lidyville. "A field of grain one foot
high, which was iointed was moved
nearly to the ground. Fruit trees.
berry vines, and tender vegetation of
all kinds were either badly damaged
or entirely destroyed. Nearly all the
glass in the south and west windows
were broken, and the fragments hurled

remarkable accuracy to the elevations
and depressions found along every
part Of the margin Of the lake and
rivers. These sections he has cut
through with a saw, SO as to furnish
q plain surface for attaching to his
map and when attached, he has var
nished the whole which gives lively
green color and fully representing
mountains covered with timber. The
outer border of the whole map he
beautiied by empty cartridge shells set
in both parallel and angular shape,
giving to the whole map a pleasing
and gratesque appearance, while at
the same time it correctly describes
both the geography Of the lake and
the topography Of its immediate sur.
roundings. Upon this same map he
has description of the buildings Of
the garrison shown by blocks Of prop
err dimensions to suit, each fastened to
the plain surface of the map and in
their relative places. Capt. Sarenson
planned and constructed the little
steamer Amelia Wheaton, which is a
trim little craft and sits like a duck
upon the water, and which her ma
chinery propcls through the lake at
the rate of s and 10 miles per hour.
A few persons only have come through
on the Mullan road this season. A
few have gone east that way. The
expectation is that considerable travel
will pass over the road this season, es
pecially il the fallen timber Of the
last Winter is cut out. The telegraph
is in good working order across to Bis
mark. They have station at the
mission, and one to each II or Is
miles across the mountain, so as to be
able to repair rapidly when the line i:
down.

The hail storm broke our ink bottle

SPoKAN FALLS, June 10, 1881.

SPOkAN FALLS, June ~, 1901.
Came here last eve from Westwood,
left Fort Cnur dAlene Wednesday at
10 o'clock; came as far as Bonanza and
stopped an hour and chatted with
Warnacutt about the new county or
ganization. He had not then heard
from the governor at Boise, although
l6 days had elapsed. He hopes the
governor will approve Of matters so far
but ii he does not the people will then
seek to be organized under the name
of Kootnai. The people here need a
county organization badly. The rush
of people into this northern section
makes this an imperative necessity.
We then crossed the prairie to West
wood the new town at the edge Of the
timber where Mr.. Post lookup ranch
about ten years ago, and resided with
his family when was here about nine
years ago. 1t is fine site for town
little elevated above the prairie with
two creeks uniting near by and where
the railroad enters the timber from the
prairie en- route for Pend Oreille Lake.
From point five miles below to a
point thirteen miles above the grading
for the road is as straight as an arrow,
with not an angle or curve in the
whole distance and the deepest fill or
cut is not over ten feet. Mr.. Wood
occupies q school section which was
taken and much improved long before
the public surveys. Upon this section
quite number of houses are going up
giving much the air of a town, though
Mr. Wood 1ff.rs to sell no lots, and
probably will not till he can secure a
title which should be granted him in
asmuch es he was long an occupant le-
fore sny surveys we're made so that
he could tell where to place his i'm
provements. The school authorities
should be entitled to take other vacant
lands in lieu thereof that are not i'm
proved. The railroad section is ada
cent east and is q good section, but
not so eligible for town as that of
Wood as it has no water upon it. Wa
ter in this section cannot be had by
any well digging that has been tried
yet. Mccartney sunk we'll about 40
feet and near this creek but found no
water and no sign of water, when he
came to solid bed rock and gave up
farther pursuit. Here we met John
Ladd of Portland whom we had not
seen for about l6 years. He had
been in the vicinity of Pend Grille
Lake prospecting for quartz He
showed us some galena and silver ore
that he had found, whose assay, as
made in Portland, showed $40 in sill
yer and about 50 per. cent Of pure
galena, which he claims to be near the
railroad. Other parties here have
shown me several samples Of ore taken
from other localities near by which
seem rich in both gold and silver, and
/ have but little doubt others will be
soon disclosed that will establish this
Pend Grille section as fertile in low
grade ores at least, and perhaps some
that may prove very rich. We me,
