A destructive hail storm came
upon us from the west last Friday
evening. 1t covered q strip about
ten or twelve milss wide, extending
about three miles south of town and
north of the Bray neighborhood.
Some Of the hail shones were as
large as hens eggs and were solid
ice. There was little wind with the
hail. Many window psnes were
broken and shingles ON roofs were
cracked. Quite bit of fruit, es-
pecially peaches, were knocked off
of trees and some crops we're injur-
ed. At G. H. Davis ranch the hail
went through roofs. Many lambs
and some ewes were killed by the
falling ice. Persons who happened
to be out in the storm were not ser
iously hurt but sustained painful
bruises. About % window lights
were broken out of the court house.

would have.-Springfeld

The unusually heavy rains this sea-

holes and the plains are probably as
wet as they have ever been. Down
in KIT Carson county the other day,
a land agent was driving prospect
i've buyer from Missouri over the
prairie and enthusiastically pointing
out the wonderful possibilities of
the land, which in that section is as
level as table for miles. There
had been heavy rain the night be-
fore and pools of water could be
seen all over the prairie.
"Just look at that for land" said
the agent, waving his hand enthus-
iastically. "Did you ever see better !?

farmer from Missouri "Seems to
me its rather too level. 1t will be
an awful job putting in drainage tile
and there is no place to drain the
water to. l would rather prefer
land more rolling 80 that it would
drain better"
For once the land agent was with
out an argument. He had shown
the land, and it was we'll watered,
but the matter of drainage was one
he had never thought of. "When
that Missourian dies" he confided
to- a friend, "I'll bet he will suggest
drainage tile in hades and the devil
will be in the same fix 1 was, with

In driving over much of road

we find several miles of erstwhile
poor roads that have been put into
good condition, the good work going

exhausted. The reverse is the case
in this (No. ~ district. The heavy
expense annually incurred on the
river bottom has taken about all the
funds and several hundred dollars
still in outstanding warrants, and
the many miles of heavily travelled
road east of the range line are going
