HAIL STORM BEATS DOWN
100 ACRE FIELD OF WHEAT

Destruction by hail of 100 acres of
wheat near Hardin has been reported
to E. C. Bowman, chairman of the
state board of hail insurance, and he
has gone to Hardin to make a person.
al appraisement of the damage.
This is the first loss reported to
the board this year, and it presents
the unusual feature of only one ranch
being visited by the hail. 1t is also
remarkable that the storm which de-
stroyed this field brought rainfall
which will aid in saving other plant
ings.
Hail insurance will be accepted by
the state board only until June 20 un-
der the new state law. The amount
written this year has been curtailed
by the dubious outlook for winter
wheat in some sections, farmers not
caring to spend money on insuring
crops which were doubtful, Mr.. Bow
man says.

Secretary Jones is in receipt of the

IN JUSTICE COURT.

H., H. Spencer who had hearing
before Judge G. w. Rapp recently
was dismissed as the evidence against
him was insufficient to justify the
charge.
J. w. Ratzliff was tried on the
charge of attempting to steal a colt
and was found not guilty.
The case Of John Racoy, who is be-
ing held on grand larceny charge
was indefinitely postponed. Spence
and Ratzliff are farmers living near
Lustre, and Racoy has a stock ranch
east of Avondale.
One of the county papers stated in
recent issue that Spence and Racoy
were tried and bound over to the dis
trict court under $1,000 bail and were
committed to the county Jail, which
was mis-statement of facts.

WOLF POINT WILL CELEBRATE

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
announcement that our neighboring
town of Wolf Point will put on a big
celebration on July 4th and 5th. They
have very fittingly called this a Vic
tory celebration and to commemorate
the day will stage Victory parade
which will be followed by patriotic
speaking and music. The day will be
brim full of entertainment, consisting
of athletic sports, bali game, bron-
che busting. dancing, etc. For the
convenience of out Of town visitors a
rest room will be provided. \ This cele-
bration is under the auspices of the
Wolf Point Commercial club, which
has the reputation of being live Or
ganization and will no doubt put on
a good show.

has been placed in an embarrassing
position.
The deficit from government opera
tion to the end of the calendar year,
when the roads will be returned to
their owners, is estimated at $780,
100000. Mr.. Hines asked the house
appropriation committee for this sum
and was given $900,OOO,0O0.
While the house committee was
limiting Mr.. Hines to about two-thirds
the sum he sought the senate voted to
restore its rate making power to the
interstate commerce commission.
There seems to be no doubt the house
will pass this measure in due time.
Only one way is left to get the re-
naming $450,000,O 900 which Mr.. Hines
says will be needed before the end of
the year. Rates must be increased.
It is not imagined that the interstate
commerce commission would order an
increase inarates without a thorough
investigation of the subject. Such
study would require months and gov
eminent operation would come to an
end before any conclusions were reach
ed.
For this reason, it is being suggest
ed at the capitol Mr.. Hines is likely
to order an increase in rates before
congress takes the power from him.
In his speech before the senate on
Wednesday Senator Kellogg Of Min
nesota pointed out that the railroads
are in bad way financially and that
the increased cost in operation brought
about since the government began
operating the roads has come to stay.

Turned back to their owners under
pre-war conditions, Senator Kellogg
predicted half of them would be in
the hands Of receivers within sixty
days. The property involved he said
would be ApO0o, 600.

RAIN NEEDED IN STATE
TO PRODUCE FAIR CROP
Rains in Some Sections Were Most
Beneficial to Spring Wheat
Winter Wheat Hurt.

Helena, June 18.-While more rain
is needed in Montana to produce nor
NAL crops of grain this season, reports
from county agricultural agents in
seventeen counties for the week end
ing June IA, received by Chas. D.
Greenfield, commissioner of agricul-
ture and publicity, indicate that dur
ing that week there were rains in diff
ferent parts of the state which were
most beneficial to spring wheat. There
seems to be little question but what
the winter wheat crop will be consid-
erably below forecasts made early in
the season, but recent rains give
brighter prospect for late sown grain.
Reports as to range conditions are
fairly favorable, and except in one
county, livestock is reported to be in
good shape. The reports from the diff
ferent counties follow:
Sheridan county-Practically all
seeding completed. More flax will be
put in if good rain comes but now too
dry to break. Crops beginning to
show effects of dry weather. Winter
rye is shooting. Crops still looking
good.
Richland county-Weather favorable
to crops, two light showers covering
the greater portion Of the county.
Wheat looking better than it did last
week. Pasture is still good on the
range.
Prairie county-A few local show
ers but not enough to be of value.
Winter wheat suffering from hot
winds, heading out short. Spring
wheat still holding it's own. Corn crop
not in danger of dry weather as yet
Flax looking we'll.
Rosebud county-Weather warm
with little rain Thursday. Winter
wheat prospect about so per cent
Much winter rye is being cut for hay.
Spring wheat still promising, fair
crop if good rain comes.
Stillwater-Weather very dry great
er part of week. Local showers on

Decision of the court was reached in
a friendly suit instituted by David
Hilger against w. A. Moore, treas
urer of Lewis and Clark county, in
which Mr.. Hilger asked that the
treasurer be ordered to accept pay
ment of tax based upon the provi-

two-year investigation of taxation
problems in Montana.
This law distributes all taxable
