MONDAYS STORM
Did Much Damage to CrGp.-.BleW
Trees Down aud Unro0Ged Small
Buildings.

The worst storm in several years
past, swept over this section of the
state Monday and Monday night.
Monday morning dawned cloudy, with
slight rain falling and the wind
coming in titful gusts, switching rapid
ly from the east to the north and then
west, and back again SO that it was
impossible to tell the exact direction
from which it did come. AS the after
noon drew on, the wind increased in
violence, until in the evening it was
blowing a gale that sent everything
that was loose, rafting before it.
The wind attained its greatest We
locity between four and six O'Clock in
the evening, when a number of trees
were either broken down or uDrOOted,
while porches, and in a few instances,
roofs were blown of small buildings.
The greatest devastation accomp-
lshed by the storm was in the country
where the rice was greatly damaged.
Much of the Japan rice was just ready
to cut, the water having been turned
off the rice within the past few days,
leaving the stems soft and tender.
The heavy wind tiattened this to the
ground, where the hard dashes OF
rain worked further havoc by beating
it into the mud, SO that IN many ill.,
stances, it will be practically impos-
sible to harvest it.
While the full extent of the damage
is not yet known, nor will it be until
after the harvest, vet it is safe to say
that the rice crop alone, in this sec
ton of the state, has been damaged
many thousands of dollars.
The storm blew itself out during the
night, Tuesday morning dawning
calm and fair.

Gov. J. A. johnson Died Tuesday.

Gov. John a. Johnson, the chief

Rochester, Tuesday as the result OF
four operations for appendicitis. In
his death, not only the state Of Mime

remarkable force and ability and one
whose voice would certainly have
been heard in national affairs had he
lived.

we believe, will result in a material
increase in the lcOnsumption of rice.
Other advertising projects now on
foot and the advertising of the new
rice sections, will also add to the
consumption.
"The definite announcement of our
intention to hold for fixed price and
to advance the price later, will tend
to give the t. AIDE confidence in the
stability of the market.
'FOr these reasons we fix the mini
mum price of No. |. Honduras and
Japan rice, until further notice. at
So. 80 f. 0. b. shipping point, and urge
all who are in position to do so. to
hold for this price"
