Figures Show Nebraska-Iowa
At the Height of
Prosperity

Omaha, Neb, July 3.-That
Omaha, Nebraska and Iowa are
the most prosperous sections of
the United States is proven by
the bank clearings for the year.
An analysis of the clearings,
which reflect business accurate
ly, show that for the entire year
the business activity has been
ten per greater than last year
and for the last three months
it has been 18 2 per cent great
er.
These figures show without a
doubt the stability of Nebraska
and Iowa which Omaha serves
as a metropolis. With such a
record, our citizens have just
cause to be proud of their
states for in other sections, the
business depression has been
seriously felt.
True Omaha is in the
heart of Gods country where
all the world is now looking for
food. The record made so far
this season is one that is carry
ing the story of prosperity to
all parts of the world.

Bad Storm in the County

The rain storm here last
night developed into a twister
other places in the county. APP
parently the worst part of it
struck the county west of Mo-
dale and swept across from
west to east. The damage was
confined largely to barns, sheds,
fruit and crops and so far as
learned, there were no acct
dents. The Mike Mclaughlin
house was unroofed and sheds
demolished; John Chatburn's
barn and buildings with the
exceptions of his house, were
more or less damaged and
many fruit trees blown down;
E. Mahoney's barn was moved
off the foundation and twisted
out of shape and the Mike
Willer barn was blown down.
There was considerable dam
age around Bigler's Grove, es-
pecially to wheat and fruit.
At Magnolia several trees were
twisted off while a short dis

undisturbed. Reports are slow

1t Is to Smile

A year ago last Fair time the
q isociation engaged an aviator
to make several flight at the
Harrison County Fair but on
account of adverse weather
and too small a machine the
man did not make a successful
fight although he tried on two
different days and the last day
fell and smashed the machine.
At that time the Logan Observ-
or took occasion to hand the
Valley several small packages
on her inability to pull off any
thing worth while and also
rubbed it in to the Fair man
agement as though it were
their fault that the man did
not make the flights as adver-
tised. This year Logan is the
goat. They advertised three
flights for the Fourth of July
but when the time came they
did not have machine or man on
the grounds to even attempt a
flight but the management c n
not be blamed, as the Observer
did with us, because they made
every effort to get a machine
there. They drove to Omaha
late Friday night to see the
people with whom they had a
contract but it was all of no
use as the only machine in
Omaha had been smashed, so
they were told and could not
fly. We are sorry they were
disappointed as we'll as the
crowd but it was simply one of
those unavoidable and unfor-
seen mishaps and no blame can
be attached to anyone.
