Heavy Loss by Tornado.

Milwaukee, July S.-A Sentinel spe-
cial from Manawa, Wis.,, says: A tor
nado passed over the town of Union,
five miles north of this city, at eight
O'Clock Thursday evening. Only the
fact that no city or village lay in its
track prevented result equaling the
New Richmond horror. The storm
struck the township at the western
boundary and plowed a furrow across it
six miles long and from Is to 40 rods
wide. Practically everything in its
path was destroyed. Conservative esti-
mates place the loss at $4,000 to $780,
900. Many farmhouses, barns and out
buildings and miles of fencing were
wrecked and crops of all kinds ruined.
There was no loss of life.

Ayers resignation. The story circulated

that Mr.. Mckinley is afraid to ask for his
resignation, although he knows that he
is constantly being advised by prominent

ABERDEEN-M ROAD.

ABERDEEN-MONT ROAD
The HERALD does not believe that th'
Montesano Ndette voices the views o
anv considerable number OF the people
OF that town when it opposes the build
Ing of the road from Grays Harbor to the
outside world, taking in Montesano or
the way, and that belief is based upon
knowledge OF the better judgment Of
the citizens OF Montesano, which would
never permit them to oppose trade ex'
pansion in any direction. To think
otherwise is to believe the Nidefte to
have been correct few weeks since
when it said at is no wonder Nontesano
isa mosshack towns there
are lots Of people in that city who do not
want any roads or anything else which
will build up live community" And
this because thejpeople OF that city did
not appear to.enthuse sufficiently over a
petition to, the. Vidette's only, Senator
Schofeld. urging the building OF a state
road from Montesano to the Columbia
river, road that all sections of the
county seemed to favor, for the reason
that it would develop good section OF
isolated country, but for which there was
no such demand for immediate use as
ior the Aberdeen.Montesano road.
Aside from the utter inconsistency OF
the Videttes position on the subject OF
road building, the argument used is al
most too absurd for notice. 1t begins
with the assumption Of an error in ssy-
ing that the object Of the road is "osten'
sensibly to benefit the farmers OF the
eastern part Of the county" The prime
object of the road is to permit two-thirds
OF the population and three-fourths Of
the taxable wealth OF the county to get
to the county seat by wagon road, and
thence take ride over the roads Of the
county, that their good money has been
so cheerfully given for their building and
improvements for many years and to
connect the few scattered roads on Grays
Harbor with the county road system,
which in the future MUST embrace all the
county The growth Of Gray's Harbor
demands Il just recognition in the matter
OF roads. demand to which no legiti-
mate opposition can be made.
The attempt of the Vidette to enlist
the antagonizm OF the farmers to the
road is so insulting to the intelligence Of
the farmers Of Chehalis county as to be
despicable. That paper we'll knows that
the number Of farmers who ship produce
in car load lots are very few compared
with those who market the fruits Of their
soil in small quantities with their teams,
and that the car shippers know enough
to ship by rail whenever it is cheaper to
do SO. The HERALD believes the road
will be largely used by the farmers, and
to their advantage, but makes no pre-
tension that it advocates the road for
that reason. If the Nidette, or anyone
else, can advance single reason why
the most important part OF the county
should be denied 1.-The advantages Of
county government in the matter OF roads
we should like to hear it.
