REDUCE ORE RATES.
Hearing &C Helena Attracts Interest

HELENA. Mont. July 16.-F. q.
Woodwork OF st. Paul, trafic man
ager Of the Northern Pacific. was the
only witness examined at yesterday s
public hearing called by the state
railroad board for the consideration
of ore rates. The commission has
prepared tentative tariff. which
calls for a reduction of from % to
40 per cent, and Immediately the
question arose between counsel as to
who should bear the burden of proof,
railroads or shippers. 1t was finally
determined that 1t rested upon the
carriers.
Charles Donnelly of st. Paul, as
sistant general counsel for the North

Great Northern lawyers that confer

riers and shippers when Attorney
Walsh for the latter insisted that IL
have the tentative schedule for
its basis. Mr.. Woodwork told of the
desire of the railroad to develop the
industries of the state and said II was
aetuated only by proper motives in
establishing the present rates. He
said Montana rates were lower than
those Of all other states except for
short hauls in Nevada.
He was cross-examined at length
by Attorney Walsh of the mining as

tween rates on lumber. coal and other
commodities and ore, with the view
Of showing higher rates on the later.
For instance. coal from Red Lodge TO
Helena is $1.65 ton and ore $4.5O,
although none of the latter is ship

The hearing may continue several
days. 1t is attracting much attention.

try OF the state. All railroads and
practically all the producers of the

as probable that the board will order
material reductions in the rates.

COUNCIL PASSES
APPROPRIATIONS
Ordinance Calls for S2S,SOO in
Taxes For Coming Year

The city council held a special
meeting last evening for the purpose
of passing the annual appropriation
bill. All the councilmen were in at
tendance save Sullivan and Bodler,
and after the bill was read for pre-
sentation a suspension of the rules
was had. and the measure was rail-
roaded through to it's final passage.
The bill makes an appropriation
of $4,000 to defray the necessary
expenses and liabilities of the city
for the coming year. which amounts
to a levy of 10 mills on the dollar on
all property within the corporate
limits of the city. Besides a special
tax is levied to raise the sum of $4,000
for the purpose of paying a portion
of the outstanding warrant in
debtedness of the city. and
a special tax is levied to
raise the sum of $500 for the pur-
pose OF paying the interest due on
the bonded debt Of the city for the
years 1908 and 1909. The $40, 900
appropriation is divided into separ-
ate funds as follows: Salaries, S1O.-
coo; fire and light and water, $500;
public improvements. $500; and
current expenses $4,000 This sum.
taken together with the special as
sessments OF $4,000 and $500. for
the purposes as above stated, makes
a total appropriation Of s2S.s00. Be
sides this it is estimated that about
$4,000 will be derived as revenue
70 the city from miscellaneous sourc-
es. making the total revenue neees-
sary TO conduct the city administra-
ton S4l.S0O. The valuation by
which the city officials were guided in
making the appropriation and levy
was $4,000. 600. and the amount Of
. the levy necessary 10 make the above
revenue OF s2s.s0O is 14.4 mills on
the dollar.

STORM DAMAGE
IS 100000
Heavy Losses By Hail in Camas
Prairie Country

GRANGEVILLE, Idaho. July 16.--
The storm loss Is larger than at first
reported, as fuller reports show that
the hail beat the grain fiat. causing
loss of thousands Of dollars to the
farmers, who lost their crops in the
same way last year The storm belt
was six miles wide and 5 miles long
and 1t is estimated that 10 ,000 acres
of grain have been completely des-
troyed. Placing the yield at 40
bushels an acre. the loss will be 40O,-
600 bushels. at an estimated value OF
100000. This damage, however, is
local and confined to the area where
the hail fell. but the afternoons rains,
which are general, should much more
than offset this loss in an increased
yield of spring grain.
While farmers in the storm area
will suffer, the general prairie section
will profit by the rain. So severe
was the storm of yesterday that far
mers have lost not only grain and
fruit, but the property loss will be
great, while the poultry loss
will be heavy. One farmer lost
seven fat hogs that we're pelted
to death by hailstones. while horses
and cattle suffered, although none
was killed.
| second Storm on PraIries.
LEWISTON, Idaho. July 16.-The
storm-swept portion OF Camas and
Nee Perez prairies was again in the
path of hail and rain storms yester-
day. but wire troubles on the tele-
phone lines make 1t difficult to SCI
cure accurate information regarding
the damage, which viii be large in
all the stricken sections. Where no
hail fell the fine rains mean thou
sands of dollars to the grain. In the
storm belt farmers not only suffered
the loss Of grain and fruit. but small
buildings were blown over and win
dow panes broken. while chickens.
ducks. geese and even hogs were kill
ed by the hailstones.
From Culdesac to clifford and
around Rosetta the hallstorm did CON
considerable damage yesterday after
noon. A peculiar feature Of the
storm was that some fields are dam
aged. while across the fence grain
has not been injured. The storm
seems to have jumped across many
fields and in few places the country
resembles a huge cheekerboard with
alternate fields OF standing and fallen
grain.

Today's storm was not as bad as yes
