FRIDAYS STORM A BAD ONE.

A severe rain and hail storm, which
gathered in the Salmon river section
west of Cottonwood last Friday after
noon, broke over the prairie about six
o clock that evening and did consider
able damage to crops and heavy grain.
The storm swept down almost over Cot
tonwood Butte and took an easterly
direction toward Sites. The downpour
of rain was very heavy and was accom-
panied in many places by small hail
which crushed down the heavy grain
flat with the earth. The greatest dam
age was done to crops of Greencreek
and Winona where many fields were
practically ruined. Fortunately the
path of the storm was not very wide
and the excellence Of the spring crops
will offset to some extent the loss oc-
casioned in the fall grain.-Cottonwood
Chronicle.
