Saturday evening about supper time
a storm passed to the northeast and a
funnel shaped cloud swooped down in
the vicinity of White destroying a
barn and granary on the farms owned
by W. H. White. 1t uprOOted trees
and did other damage in the imme-
diate vicinity but nothing more serious
than that mentioned The cloud was
plainly visible from this vicinity.
Chas. Keith received a letter from
his son-in-law, II. s. Rowe, who re-
sides at Bryant, in which he informs
Mr.. Keith that he and his family
came through the tornado all right.
He saws: "Our house was damaged
some-barn, outbuildings and fence
quite badly damaged. Fifteen to
twenty houses totally destroyed and
more barns. Every barn in west
BRYANT destroyed. The total loss in
town will be around 100000. The
loss in the country is large but as yet
haven't any report. One woman, Mrs.
II. s. Killing, killed and about a
dozen slightly injured As Mrs.
Keith was visiting there at the time
it was a great relief to know that they
were all alive and unhurt.
A tornado struck Willow Lakes, in
Clark county, destroying almost the
entire town, and also buildings in the
vicinity.
One man, farmer by the name of
Erickson, living mile west of Willow

barn, which was demolished. His
house was carried about twenty feet.
Six or seven persons in Willow
Lakes were injured, but none fatally.
Nearly all store buildings, the church
es, the school house, railway station
and a majority of the dwelling houses
are more or less wrecks-some totally
demolished.
A heavy hail storm visited the Sec
ton near Willow Lakes, it being re-
pOrted that stones OF enormous size
fell.
Willow Lakes is on the Huron-Ben-
son division of the Great Northern
railroad, thirty miles north of Huron,

native Dakota fruit by crossing and
selections. Announcement is made of
new fruits originated at this station
by crossing the Dakota sand cherry
with choicer cultivated fruits such as
the peach, apricot and japanese plum.
By careful selection through a num-
ber of years new varieties have been
obtained with fruit seven-eights of an
inch in diameter and OF quality accept
able for table use. The Sand Cherry
is also found useful in the propaga-
ton of stone fruits.
Bulletin, No. SS, Breeding Hardy
Fruits, contains 80 pages illustrated
by 20 cuts and gives an outline OF
experiments in improving the native
fruits of the northwest by selection and
crossing. This bulletin should be
read widely inasmuch as the South
Dakota Experiment Station III extent
of its fruit-breeding work is second
only to that of Burbank of California.
Copies of both will be sent upon ap-
plication to Director James w. Wilson,
