Late In the Afternoon. A Large
Amount of Rain Fell

So far as we have learned the
town of New Portland suffered the
most damaging results of any of the
towns in this vicinity during the
shower of Sunday afternoon. Mar
cellus Berry of that town had six
good cows killed and Julian Viles of
the North village had one end of his
house struck and four rooms badly
demolished. The telephone and cleo
trio light wires in the house of DR..
Hopkins were all burned out. A
large quantity of water fell during
the storm.

GRASSHOPPERS FELL WITH HAIL
In the Storm on the North Plains
Last Sunday According to Reports.
Good Snow Balling

1t rained grasshoppers here Sunday,
Sounds rather incredible for this ear
ly in the season but it is thus re-
ported to us. The information was
first received from a resident of the
North Plains and it is claimed that
the grasshoppers came down with the
hail, during the heavy shower of Sun
day afternoon.
There Is one fact that can be
vouched for, however, and that is that
1t was good snow balling here that
day which was the 25th of May, as
the result of the hail storm.

WILSON AND CANAL TOLLS
Presdent-elect Has Not Yet Commit
 ted Himself on the Question.

The publication yesterday of the statement that the British government has proposed arbitration of the canal question in a note to the state depart ment, coupled with the comment of the British press on dispatches to London newspapers purporting to rep rsent Presiden- elect Wilson as against free tolls, brought no definite state ment from MT. Wilson. The presi- dent-e4ect declined to make any com ment beyond denial of the publish ed report that he had expressed him self with fnality on the question MT Wilson said that he did not feel it would be proper foG him to discuss the matter of canal tolls until after he became president and had had a chance to discuss it with members of the Senate.
 The possibility that the Senate might take some action which would remove the grounds for the British protest and thus relieve the new administra- ton from all embarrassment, is cited in some quarters as the chief reason for his reticence. On the other hand it is said by those .who know in gen eral the pDosident-e1ect's ideas on foreign policies that if the question Is f1atly put up to him, he either would indicate opposition to the pro- posed method of granting free tolls to American ships, or favor submission of the question to a court of arbitra- tion.
