Not to Build Cutoff.

It is stated the Milwaukee railroad
has abandoned the plan to build a
cutoff around the hills near Summit,
and instead will spend considerable
money improving the track through
the hills. Since the Milwaukee has
become a transcontinental road, it has
been stated the line would be i'm
proved by running a out by which
the hills would be avoided, but it is
presumed the road has found this to
be inadviSable.

the robbers expected the men to leave
the houses unprotected n thus give
them a chance to steal.

CROPS RUINED IN MIDDLE WEST
Sudden Blizzard with Below Freez-
ing Temperatures Leaves De-
struction in It's Wake.
BOTH GRAIN AND FRUITS SUFFER
Continuance of Rain and Cold, with
Gradual Change, Regarded as
Only Salvation.

P~rematurely budding crops of the
middle West have been swept away
in the most disastrous and ~far-reach'
ing storm experienced in a genera
ton. The disturbance has wrought
more than $50, 600, 900 damage to fruits
and vegetables and has started an up
ward shoot in the price of fresh food
stutfs that probably will be felt during
the entire season. The Michigan fruit
Delt-the backbone of the fruit district
is described as almost wholly wiped
out for the season, while the freezing
temperature in Illinois and Iowa not
only has killed buds, flowers and fruits,
but threatens to ruin oats.
In and about Chicago truck garden
ers have seen all hopes of early vese-
tables blasted in a single night. Veg
etables and flowers that had promised
huge profits and low prices because OF
the early spring have been damaged be
yond hope. All that can be done is to
replant, where this is possible, making
the season several weeks behind rather
than early. But in the end it will be
the h~ousekeeper who will feel the effect
of the storm. The expected early vege-
tables and low prices, promised because
of the lamb-like March, have given
place to promises of such high prices
for green foodstuffs as have not OBJ
tanned in years.
The story of the storm is told best in
the weather bureau reports that show,
ed freezing temperature in practically
all of the points that have been touch,
ed by the storm. Here are some of the
temperatures reported.

In the central and southern districts
of Illinois the temperature fell to a
fraction below % degrees, with the re-
suit that fruit growers that
they had little hope of any crop at all
this season.
P~aradoxically enough, the only miti-
CATION in the bad news was in the fact
that rain and low temperature-al-
though not freezing temperatures-pre-
vailed throughout the whole Middle
Western section. Had the srowstorm
been followed by a bright, warm sun,
nothing could have saved fruits and
berries now in blossom from complete
ruin. AS matters stand, while many
Of the buds will be killed, the cool
weather and rain Of the next few days
may save the others.
What effect the damage will lave on
prices this summer is problematical.
The indications up to the day before
the storm fell were hat the fruit crop
would break all records. Fruits, grains
and garden truck were from two weeks
to a month ahead of their usual time.
The question now is whether enough of
the crop will be saved to make the har
vest next fall something like normal.
Even if the fruit crop of the Middle
West were half destroyed, prices might
not be seriously affected, for reports
from other fruit sections indicate
bumper crops. 1t seems certain, how
ever, that the loss or apple, plum, cher
ry and peach orchards will be SO seri-
GUS as to make prices for those fruits
higher this summer
Grains are reported to have suffered
severely everywhere, the loss on oats
being particularly heavy. In some sec.
tons the entire oats crop will have to
be resolved. Wherever the first joint
was out of the ground the frost killed
the growing grain.
