twenty and thirty persons dead in
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas
and scores of injured was the toll
last night of the series of tornadoes

Slightly Improved.

Chicago. April 3O.-Storm condi-
tions in this vicinity were somewhat
improved early today, although
showers and thunder storms turning
to snow fiurries and colder weather
with a westerly gale are predicted
for the next twenty-four hours.
The telegraph companies expect to
have their lines repaired in that time,
but the lack of communication with
many points in the middle west
leaves the extent of the damage done
still Understandable. That the de-
struction has been widespread, in
volving the loss of scores of lives
and much stock and other property is
evidenced from the reports from the
south and southwest Stories of
death in Tennessee and Arkansas in
what is known as the Cyclone belt''
have been reported. The wires are
down in Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
and Central Illinois and the north
west is paralyzed as regards COM
munication. The telegraph service
between the great northwest centers
is still hampered and early improve
ment is problematical. South of
Louisville, the conditions are particu-
larly bad, that section of the country
evidently having suffered more vio-
lently than any other in the south.
The snow has held up the trains, and
a gale on the lake has hampered the
shipping to considerable extent.
Inquiry at the general offices of the
Illinois Central as to the report that
the town of Hornlake. Sesota county.
Miss. has been wiped out by the
storm elected the information that
the company had no way ascertain
ing the truth or falsity of the re-
port, as all their wires were pros
trated. There were no wires for the
dlspatching of trains early TODAY. al
though the hope was expressed that
patchwork service might be re-
stored before night. The Chicago and
Alton. two of whose trains were STALL
ed last night. reported traffic being
handled on normal basis TODAY. al.
though their wires had suffered.
The squall with the wind hlov,r.
forty-fve miles all hour and rain
descending in torrents struck Chicago
at 6:lo O'Clock last night. The wires
went down in every direction. and
communication with other cities was
completely severed.
Six persons were killed and fiftv
injured in Chicago and environs dur.
ing the storm last night, according to
the reports received today by the po-
lice. Probably as many more were
injured who received private atten.
tlon and of which there is no report.

Not All Montana.
From the Kalispell Inter Lake.

From the Kalispell Inter Lake.
Montana gets an outside reputation
for September snowstorms and All UNI
usually wet September, because in one
small portion of the southern part of
the state the rains have been unusual
ly heavy, and SHOWS have fallen on
the grain fields. The dispatches tel
ling of it have the Montana date line,
and the conditions are supposed to
cover the whole state. 1t would be a
waste of time to undertake to correct
the erroneous impression, but the fact
is that much of the state has had a
much dryer September than usual,
and has seen no snow except on the
mountain tops, where it may come
almost any day in the year.
The productions of corn, it is
thought, is well adapted to dry land
farming. The continual stirring of
the ground necessary for corn, it is
believed, will conserve moisture
enOught to make crop.
The farmers hay ricks are large,
his grain bins full and his live stock
fat.

Regarding the International Dry
Farming exposition, the Bulletin
says
"The people of Montana have made
the Fourth Dry Farming congress.
Thousands of dollars will be expended
in the International Dry Farming ex-
position alone. The exposition will
be one of the finest demonstrations of
agricultural progress ever made.
Canada has already secured several
hundred feet of display space for
Cardston, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat,
Macleod and a large number Of indi
vidual exhibits from other sections.
Utah and Colorado are vieing with
each other for the first honOrs: North
and South Dakota report that they
will be present with the goods, and
several state agricultural colleges
have asked for space. The Washing
agricultural college will display
hybrid wheats; several successful
dry farm horticulturist will display
apples and other non-irrigated fruit;
vegetable and root crops are coming
from several states. There will be
demonstrations Of blowing, thresh-
ing, ETC., every day and it is estimat-
ed that while other eNpositiOns may
surpass the Dry Farming exposition
in size, no other western show will go
into history as more practical or i'll
teresting.
'"The International sweepstakes
prizes and interstate trophies which
are coming from many quarters will
make the show worth while from
every standpoint"

SPEND PER|LOUS
NIGHT IN BOAT
Sixty Passengers Rescued From Ferry
While II Was Being Crushed and
Pitched In Ice Gorge.

BELLAIRE. Ohio, Dee. 2S.-Sixty
passengers were rescued from the
laundering ferry boat Charon on the
Ohio river today. after suffering 4
perilous night while the ferry was be-
ing crushed and pitched in an Ice
gorge.
IL was impossible for the boat 10
land and the passengers. including 80
women and children, had to be taken
off in small boats. The ice prevented
the boatmen from reaching the side OF
the ferry. and men had 10 carry the
women and children over the jammed
ice cakes, 10 the open water.
A score OF the passengers sunered
greatly from exposure.
The ferry. plying from Bellaire to
Benwood, became caught in the Ice
gorge about 8 o'clock. The engines
were unable TO free II and II was
forced into the center OF the gorge
at the middle OF the river. The Ice
crunching against the sides caused a
panic and several women tried to leap
overheard with their children.
Rivermen living In houseboats went
TO the rescue in the morning. The
crew stayed with the ferry, in the be-
lief that they could save her.
