Many Injured in the Storm.
Between so and 60 lives are be-
lieved to have been lost in the city
Of Fergus Falls late yesterday when,
the northwestern section Ct the
town was laid waste by terrific
storm. News received from authen-
tic sources at noon gave the casual
ties as follows:
Identified dead. AS.
Unidentified dead, 3.
Missing, g..
Injured seriously, 98.
Another storm which swept a
path near Dumont, more than 40
miles south Of Fergus Falls, is
known to have cost one life, and
later reports may swell the death
list.
Property loss in Fergus Falls is
estimated at 50, 600, 600 to S3, 600
900. Most of the loss of life was
in the Grand hotel, which
had so guests, and was laid comp
leteIv ia ruins, which are still being
searched for the missing.
SO Homes Demolished.
More than so private homes
were demolished entirely. and 75
or SO others badly wrecked. some
bodies may yet be found in ruins
of the homes.
Relief parties from nearby cit
les reached the town last night,
and special train from the twin
cities early today. Relief work is
being organized. The injured are
cared for in three local hospitals.
The storm struck the city with
little warning at 4:45 pm. Ac-
counts are conflicting, but show
that the wind cyclonic, blowing in
different directions ia different
parts OF the city.

will therefore be the policy of
the JOINT Stock Banks to take
care of the large loans, leaving
the smaller amounts to the
Federal Land Bank. Messrs.
Cooper and the Colds report the
finest spirit of cooperation on
the part Of the Federal Board at
Washington and the Federal
Land Bank at ST. Paul, which is
IN charge Of Mr. +. G. Quamme,
who is making a remarkable
record and is one of the leading
and most forceful governors in
the system. The idea Of the
Federal Land Act is to do for the
long time credits of America just
what the Federal Reserve has
done for the commercial banks of
this country. Had it not been for
the Federal Reserve system dur
ing the recent war, the chances
are most likely that our monetary
system would have broken down
and would not have stood the
strain. The Farm Loan Act will
stabilize the rates on land loans
and is very apt to stabilize val
ues. 1t Will encourage men Of
small means to secure a small

surance that he can pay -or same
