HEAVY WIND In EAST
PART OF COUNTY
considerable Damage Done Houses
at Egger, Waters and Oden-
Timber Bedly Torn Up
No One Is Injured.

II. j. Thompson returned April l5
from a trip to 0den and reported
that on the previous evening a
very bad wind storm visited the
country between Egger and Oden.
The home of B. A. Turpin, Just this
side of Egger, had the foundation
blown from under it, and the chin
ney torn down. His we'll house and
barn also were badly damaged.
Mr.. Thompson was at Egger April
IL and he said that from the re-
ports which reached there before
he left, it was thought that the
worst part of the storm was near
Waters and 0den. 1t was reported
that a house at Waters was taken
from its foundation and set in the
middle of the street. There was no
report of anybody being injured at
any of the places.
1t seems that the greatest damage
was done to the timber. Mr.. Thomp-
son said that it was badly torn up
and that in many places he had to
drive into the woods to get around
trees which had been blown over
the road.
At Ink, seven miles east Of Mena,
quite bit of hail fell last night,
but no particular damage was done.
Ezra Cunningham, Frank Jones.
Charles Board, George Haines and
Dennis Townsend, who returned
on April 10 from a fishing trip
on Rock creek. two miles this side
of Ben Gipson's place, report that
a very heavy hail fell across the
creek from where they were
camped and that the river was out
of its banks.

NATIONAL CROPS.


The st. Louis be-2emocrat
reached the following editorial deduc-
tons:
Wall street is recovering from it's
fright about the crops, and it begins
to think that there viii be a big yield.
after ALL When the government, a
few days ago. made its report stocks
dropped, because there seemed to be
an indication that some of the import
ant cereals would fall off, as com
pared with 1910. Corn, the greatest

somewhat smSs FER yield than II was
last year. "a must be remembered,
however, Tat last year it passed far
above the 100000. 900 bushei mark.
and left all the records far behind.
Based on the acreage and condition
given out by the government, a yield
Of 2,956,0O0.o0O bushels is Indicated
for 1911, or greater than that of 1906
which was the biggest crop ever gath

The indications for wheat are thar

We had in 1910, or 702, O0o, 900 bushels

smaller crop this year than that Of

two other important products. The
rains which have come in many states
since the government made it's report
have brought an Improvement in con-
dition. Except In oats and corn there
is chance still that the crops win

In 1910, and that year saw greater
cereal yield In the aggregate than had
ever previously been harvested.

FRIDAY. JULY Al. 1911.
GOOD ROADS.


Purely as an advertising scheme
the state OF North Dakota should con-
struct good highways. NO state could
do it more cheaply-and If North Da-
kota was made the main route for auto
touring parties from the east to the
west--it would be one Of the biggest
advertisements the state could secure.
The tour Of the twin city autosits
through this state to Helena should be
big boost for highway construction.
1t should give the advocates Of better
highways renewed enthusiasm and also
prove means of interesting others In
the movement.
There is more to the good roads
movement than mere speeding. They
mean the development-the advertise
ment Of the country-the convenience
Of the farmers--and the closer rela-
tons along educational social and re-
ligious lines.
Other states are doing great work
In good road construction-not only for
local purposes-but for advertising and
development.
Why can't North Dakota accomplish
great things along this line?
More than $4,000 miles of model high
ways, reaching into every part Of the
United States, are now projected
Much Of this great network is in course
Of construction.
Scenic sections Of the United States
have tired Of having Europe claim so
many millions Of American money
every year-because of it's superior
automobile highways.
Florida is making every effort to at
tract automobillsts to it's resorts, and
model highway, which will make 1t
possible TO tour from New York to
notwithstanding the chief points
Of interest-promises to prove a great
magnet for tourists.
On their return from Florida many of
these tourists will be diverted to Ten
nessee by way of the projected Ala
bama highway from the Tennessee line
to the gulf. Automobiles viii have
their choice Of trip through the scenic
east Tennessee mountains and across
Virginia, or to visit Mammoth cave.
Then the Clay-Jefferson Memorial |
road, connecting Niagara Falls and
New Orleans, is also projected to the |
Mississippi gulf resorts.
The value Of this travel to every |
mile Of country traversed by the model |
highways is apparent. 1t will enhance
real estate. Boarders viii be put into |
hundreds Of sections remote from the
railways, but rich in natural attrac-
tions. Hotel keepers and merchants
Will reap a harvest from this traffic
Americas awakening to the value of |
good roads has been slow, but it has
been thorough. Not section of the
United States is now blind to the great
advantages Of model highways.

where it attracted more attention than
any ether exhibit there.
The exhibit by the engineering de-
partment consists of several pieces OF
lath work. Several drill and taps are
included. These are difficult pieces to
make. The quality of the work is such
that it hardly could be the work OF

very thorough.

the comfort Of those who are tired.
The exhibit of mounted weeds and
crops is sample of the one that has
