The thunder storm of Sunday car
ried with it hail showers in some
localities 1t has feen reported here
that the hop fields of tho AppleRate
suffered severely from this cause.
However, ]. A. Rehkopf, whose yard
hal been rumored to have sustained
the most serious damage, says that. in
his opinion. the storm will il crease
rather than diminish the yield of
hops. The hail did knock some hops
from the vines but did not knock
down any OF the vines and the ground
received such a thorough soaking that
the increase in yield will be fully
double the damage done.

Trouble at Wilderville.

Wm. Munson, an employe at Conger
Bros. saw mill near Wildervilie, was
struck on the head Monday afternoon
with hammer, by Emmett Conger,
yard boss at the mill. Munson's
skull is said to be fractured as re-
suit Of the blow. At latest accounts
he is improving and will probably re-
cover. Conger was arrested on Tues
day by Sheriff Lewis and the pre-
liminary hearing of his case was
held on Wednesday afternoon. The
affair is the elimination Of bad feel
ing which has existed between the

]. w. Harmon's Barn Struck bv
Lightning and Destroyed

Sundays electric storm was one Of
unusual severity for this locality.
Grants Pass being on the edge Of the
storm, escaped it, force. - The
strength of the elements was mani
tested mainly further south and east
and the storm center seems to have
been along the range of mountains
that separates the Applegate from the
Illinois river tributaries. In the Ap-
plegate and Deer creek valleys, tie
rain poured in torrents. The new
baIn of J. W. Harmon near Selma, a
structure 60xS0 feet and one Of the
best barns in the country, built ac-
cording to the late ideas and with all
the modern conveniences, was struck
by lightning and burned, with some
60 tons of hay. The loss was about
5000 with no insurance. Postmaster
c. Z. Harmon of this city, while re-
turning from visit to the Harmon
place on Deer creek, encountered a
lively hail storm at Selma. The
stones ratified down as big as marbles,
the team became frantic, but by good
engineering, they were got under
shelter in r. C. Churchill's barn be-
fore the matter became serious.
On the Hays hill there seems to
have been a small water spout or
cloud burst, The water poured down
the hill in torrents, badly sluicing
and Outlying out the road, which
prior to the storm was in almost per-
feet condition.
Several trees were fred by the
electric spark in sight of Grants Pass,

Boys and girls, aud even grown-ups,
have learned that there IS fun a. kite
dying from early spring until late fall.
One thing that has helped them 10
learn this is the flying qualities Of the
box kite. Everybody who cares for
outdoor fun should know how this is
made. Here are directions that any
cue can easily follow:
The four corner posts should be
about two and one-half feet long. and
., light and slender as you can whittle
tnem. Four inches from each end Of
each piece is cut a little notch for the
braces TO rest in. The four braces are
whitfield down the same size as the
posts, and are about twenty inches
long. Each end OF each brace is
rotched TO fit over the post. The notch
in the end of brace aud the notch in a
post come together. NOw take two
strips OF thin. strong paper, five feet
Ion: and nine inches wide. Fold over
each edge as IL cor a half-inch hem,
