STORM DOES DAMAGE
IN GARFIELD COUNTY

POMEROY( Wash, Aug. 6.-With
telephone lines down in all parts OF
Garfield county, only incomplete re-
ports can be had of the most destruc-
tive and widespread storm ever known
in this section, which visited Garfield
county yesterday.
Mrs. IL. c. Hall, working in the
kitchen OF her home in PomerCy, was
sruck by lightning and paralyzed,
doctors holding but small hopes OF
her recovery. Lightning also hit in
several other places in the city, level
ing trees and causing small fires.
Accompanied by terrific winds the
heavy downpour of rain which de-
veloped dinto cloudbursts south and
west of Pomeroy resulted in much
damage to standing grain and orch
ards. The Pataha creek, running at
the high-water mark, was filled with
up-rooted fruit trees from the orch
ards of the Upper Pataha valley.
5. S. Russell, farming in the north
western part of the county, who had
harvested half of a heavy yield OF
wheat from his 625 acres, will make
10 attempt to save the remainder OF
the crop, which was beaten level with
the ground by hail.

years now Samuel G.. Blythe, the al
most universally known political writ
er, who arrived in Portland yester-
day, has been following the fortunes
of presidential candidates in these

a few presidents and the unmaking
of quite a few more candidates for
the presidency.
In those 2S years seven presiden-
tial elections have been held, and
seven times Blythe has tried to vote.
But nary a time has he voted.
It was a year to the day yesterday
that Blythe last visited Portland and
he swore then by all that was high
and mighty that he was going to vote
at the presidential election of last No
vember He is the proud possessor OF
a $4,000 acre farm in the Gallitan val
lev of Montana and claims legal res
idence at Helena, and as he is ma
tive born citizen he thinks he has as
much right to vote as anybody
"Yes, sir. on election day I'm going
over to Helena and vote" he declar-
ed a year ago. He didn't vote. After
completing a tour of the country TO
feel out the political pulse of the sew

RAILROADS GIVE UP FIGHT
Two-Cent Fares and Cheaper Freight
Rates in Missouri in
Few Days.

Kansas City.-Officials and at,or-
neys representing the railroads in Mis-
souri, have given up the contest
against the maximum freight rate and
the 2-cent passenger rate laws. They
surrendered to the state public util-
titles commission and advised John NJ.
Atkinson, chairman, that the railroads
desired to put into effect new rates to
be established by the commission as
soon as it could be done.
1t will take time for the railroads
and the state commissioners to get to-
gether and establish the rates. Then
there are to be new tariffs printed
and a mass of detail prepared.
The attorneys said it probably would
be July l before the new rates could
be put in. That much time would be
required in performing the physical
requirements.
The attorneys and officials adopted
a resolution saying they would not
wait for the mandate from the United
States supreme court, but would CO.
operate with the public utilities COM
mission in getting action on the new
rates as quickly as possible
The United States supreme court
did not say what the freight and pas
senger rates were to be- 1t said the
state utility commission of Missouri
had right to make the rates and
that the freight rates as fixed in the
law passed by the legislature were not
too low and that 2-cent passenger fare
was compensatory for all except five
of the smaller roads. The state COM
mission has the power now to make
the rates even lower, so long as they
are not confiscatory.
Minnesota Railroads Give In.
St Paul, Minn.-Seven railroads
operating in Minnesota have agreed
to abide by the terms of the recent
decision of the United States supreme
court IN tn Minnesota rate cases.
