HAIL STORM
PLAYS HAVOC

The storm last Sunday played havoc
with the growing crops over large
area southwest and west of Roman.
DR.. Resner came in from his ranch
early Monday morning and reported
that [the farmers in his section had
harvested and threshed the day before,
and upon being pressed for an ex-
planation stated that the hail of the
evening before had completely wiped
out the growing crops on his farm and
those adjoining, including Dave Morris,
Charles and James Ozmun, George
Gierke and others. Later in the day
it was telephoned in that all the sec
tion west of the Round Butte was sim
ilarly visited and that the crops looked
like everything was about ruined
The storm came up from the south
west and those in town who closely
observed the clouds were heard to re-
mark that it looked like hail, but when
it struck Roman and no hail fell it was
supposed that their fears were ground
less, but it seems not.
1t is stated that the fields Monday
morning presented backened ap-
pearance, much as if the vegetation
had been burned. 1t is feared that
very little will be saved from vast
territory and the loss will be serious.
The hail fell in great quantities and
the size of the hail is said to have been
prodigious. Great quantities of the
hail was still to be seen on the ground
Monday forenoon.
H. c.. Keller of 1921, was in town
Monday and says all his winter wheat
was ruined by the hail. That he had
rs acres all headed out nicely and that
it was simply pounded to small pieces.
He says he will commence this week
to summer fallow it and SOW to fall
wheat in August. He mentioned about
half dozen of his neighbors who have
practically los all their crop.
VIM. H. Gerdner, living at the Hill
side school house, tells similar story.
Says his crop looked like field that
had been cut, and that it is total loss.
Both gentlemen state that the rain
fell IN torrents after and during the
hail storm and that the hail stones
were the largest they ever saw. Mr..
Gerdner lost number of chickens and
two fine shoats, killed by tho hail.
The hail storm went in streaks and
jumped from one field to another, skip
ping some farmers in its path. Those
who escaped must carry talisman
with them or else have some stand-in
with the elements which would be
worth money to their less fortunate
neighbors.

WASHINGTON READY
FOR OPEN WARFARE

Washington, June 20.-Ppon Gener
al Carranza's reception of a stern re-
iusal to heed his demands for recall of
American troops from Mexico hinges
the question of Mexican war, in the
opinion of President Wilson's close
advisers.
They We're prepared for the posi-
bility of open hostilities after the
note, which will be sent forward at
once, has reached CarranZa's hands.
No indication has come that the
first chiefs attitude of implacable hos
tility would be shaken by the reiterat-
ed declaration of the latest communi-
cation that the United States has no
aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico, but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end brigandage
in the border states.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress the nation was stirring
throughout it's width and breadth
with the movement of national guards
men mobilizing to guard the border.
At least 100000 and possibly far
larger number were prepasing for &C.
tive service under President Wilson's
call.
For the present their mission will
be purely one of defense; but should
war come they will be ready also for
that. No marching orders for the
new forces had gone out as yet. They
will not be assigned for border duty
until mustered into the federal serv-
ice.

Carper taking the latter method of get

on an error; Mclaughlin, Turnquist
and Kopal struck out, leaving White on
second base. Three scores.

for Bergevin and went out on long
fly; Wagner ditto; Jacobs got hit
Phil Hull struck out No scores;

like fate; Larson hit safe; Schlegel

Wore intensive good roads WOrk
was discussed yesterday at a joint
meeting of the Burleigh county com,
mission. the good roads committee OF
the Bismarck Commercial club, and
F. l.. Conklin, treasurer, and George
N. Remission, travelling representa-
tive OF the National Parks Transcon,
tinental Highway association.
The plan considered by the commits
sion and given the hearty endorse
ment OF the other interests represent
ed is to concentrate all of the county's
road-buliding equipment upon one
stretch OF highway until that is COM
pleted. Not only will this make pos
sible greater economy in supervision,
and permit OF great saving in time,
but it will prevent the tearing up OF
small Strips of road in several parts
Of the county at the same time.
1t is estimated that by using the
five grading outfits and tractors joint
ly upon piece Of road two miles or
more per day can be constructed. The
plan is to decide in some equitable
manner, the order in which the, work
in the different districts will be TAX
en- up, and to complete fifty miles OF
road in each district before moving
the equipment to the next.
The good roads committee and the
Red Trail representatives pleaded for
early attention to the sixteen miles Of
road between Bismarck and McKen-
Zie, on the Red Trail, which is in need
of completion. Mr.. Remission told of
the great volume Of traffic which is
anticipated over this most interesting
of all transcontinental highways the
ensuing summer, and urged that the
Red Trail be completed through Bur
leigh county, not only for the tourist
travel which it will bring, but as an
example to residents on branch high
ways of what good roads will do for
community.
Much of the Red Trail between Bis
marck and Mckenzie, via the old
Fields road and the new culverts to
Menoken, is already graded, and only
needs dragging to place it in condi-
ton for the coming summer. Ten
days, it is believed, will put the fin
ishing touches on the portions which
have not been worked ..
The commission was rendered
vote OF thanks for the good work
which was accomplished last year,
and was assured the continued sup
port and cooperation of the CONNER
cial club and other interests. The
matter of dragging roads already
graded is being given consideration
by the commission, and it is probable
that comprehensive plan for the
summers work will be presented at
the March meeting, when the com
missioners will be rendered c0mpli-
mentary luncheon at the Hotel Nc
Kenzie by the directors of the Com
mercial club and the good roads COM
mittee.
Mr.. Remission will this morning ad-
dress the students OF the Bismarck
high school upon the subject of good
roads, with which, he is thoroughly
conversant, having tramped over
some Of the best highways of Europe
and having been instrumental in the
building of some of the most famous
roads of America.
