There was a severe storm in and
about the city last night, thunder and
lightning being the principal features.
In the country hail is reported in sew.
eral localities but no great damage is
reported. Some Of the hail stones
falling are reported to have been of
enormous size.
The recuperating powers of Missouri
slope soil and weather is illustrated in
the cas- of John Beal whose crop was
hit by hail last month-half of it be-
lieved at the time to be a total loss.
Now Mr.. Beal can hardly tell which
is the best-the grain that escaped the
hail or that which was hit.

with the Steamer Expansion.

the tile roof will begin at once.
Frank Beals: Speaking about crops
Hon. M. D. Williams, about a mile out
of jamestown, has 450 acres of the fin
est wheat ever saw and over 400 acres
OF flax that is simply perfect If moth
ing happens to it-and hail is the only
danger-you a figure out what a nice
bunch of money will come Senator
Williams way this fall.
In speaking of some of the comments
on the Bismarck ball teams playing
by the critics about town one of the
team was heard to remark: And you
can take those same guys that boiler
the loudest and ask them for a little
support and they'll give you the horse
laugh" It's well put. The band boys
say they assent to the same PROPOSE
ton.
Mike Rush is UP from Emmons
county and says that the hay and grain
crops are all right in Emmons. In the
recent storm Rush had two windmills
blown down and a barn .unroofed. He
says there was a heavy rain last night
south Of Bismarck as far as Lambs
where he stopped over night and prob
ably on down through Emmons
county.
Frand D. Hall in Fargo Call: have
just returned from a trip through the
country north of Bismarck, along the
Missouri. I have never seen such
crops in all my life as they have about
Washburn, Wilton and Coal Harbor.
The wheat and in fact all kinds of
grain is nicely headed out, has a fine
stand and will yield marvellous aver
ages. The grass on the grazing land
is exceptionally fine and the warm
weather is putting it in fine shape for
the cattle. That will be a wealthy
part of the state this fall.
