Notwithstanding the fact tina,
we have heen visited with two
hail storms the past week, small
grain is holding it's own with the
weather. The rain the pas,
few days or since the first of las
week has done much to heir
these crops along and with a few
more showers the grain situation
in this section will be ideal. The
northern part of the county has
also received a good supply OF
moisture. the rains in and around
Miles so hard that the railroads
were handicapped. At Baker,
Miles and Terry heavy rains fell
during the 4th of July celebra-

cipitation in this district as re-
corded by Observer VIM. Freese
so far this month is 1.3O.
Saturday evening the first hail
storm of the season passed over
this section. The storm follow
ed Beaver creek and extended as
far north west as O'Fallon creek.
No hail was reported more than
four miles southwest but we
understand that a small strip of

Early this spring several of
the business men of Ekalaka,
upon learning that the race track
property was to be abandoned
for racing purposes and sold in
small tracts, got together and
organized the Ekalaka Fair and
Racing association. This COM
pany went ahead and purchased
the property, their intention be-
ing to retain it for the benift of
the public. Enough stock was
subscribed to make the payment
for the property but nothing was
done, or arrangements made to
look after the many needed i'm
provements. The present grand
stand as we'll as the judges
stand are in dangerous condition
and unless repaired should be
condemned. They have been in
use for several years and have
done as much service as could
be expected. At a meeting of
the stockholders of this company
this week it was decided that a
campaign for the selling of more
stock be commenced and than if
possible these improvements be
made at once. There are a great
many business men who have
not as yet taken any stock in
this company, as we'll as many
of the nearby ranchers who we
believe that if properly approach
ed would subscribe. The Ekala-
ka race track is one of the best
in the country and should receive
the support of all the racing
men.

but farther north and west the
