STORM COO[S.C|1Y;;
TREES ARE FELLED
Lightning, Thunder, Wind
and Rain Come to Break
Heat Waves Grip.

Relief from the intense heat wave
which held Washington in its grip
for several days came yesterday aft
ernoon on the wings OF a northwest
wind which brought with it one Of the
severest thunderstorms of the sum-
mer.
The storm blew down a score of
trees. broke hundreds of limbs. badly
washed roads In the suburbs and fore
ed a drop Of twenty-four degrees in
the temperature in less than an hour.
Although regarded by many as un-
usually severe. the weather man indi-
Gated that it was only "a good thun-
derstorm." He pointed out that only
eiehty-nine hundreds Of an inch OF
rain fell, and that the wind did not
reach a velocity Of twenty-five miles
an hour. About three inches Of rain
fell during a similar storm on the
evening of July 2. he stated, in COM
pairing the rainfall of the storm on
that date with the one yesterday.
Reached Height at O'Clock.
The storm broke over Washington
about $3.50 o'clock. after enormous
black clouds had covered the city with
a mantle Of darkness. Half an hour
later it reached its height. Driven by a
seemingly strong northwest wind. ii
passed over the city at o'clock and
headed down the Potomac river.
Prior to the storm. the temperature
coupled with a high humidity, hovered
around IS degrees. As the storm gained
in intensity the thermometer dropped.
When the storm had passed over the
city the thermometer registered a mild
temperature Of II degrees.
When it was at its height lightning
struck the cupola on the home OF
Mrs. Catherine Long. at 1884 Colum-
bia road. The roof was shattered
and the woodwork burned. No one
was in the house at the time and
the police reported that none Of the
debris endangered pedestrians pass
ing. Firemen Of No. truck and No
a engine company soon extinxuished ed
the blaze. The damage was esti'
mated at 500.
Trees Obstruet TraMc.
Most Of the damage done to the
trees was eoafinsd to tho northeast
section. However, several trees were
blown down in the northwest.

PIONEERS TO GIVE
 OLDTIMER BENEFIT

The relief committee of Nenana igloo, No. IT, Pio- neers of Alaska, are arrang- an entertainment to be given at the Coliseum on Saturday, September 4, 1920, for the benefit of Homer Shepherd, who is a patient at the Gov 'ernment hospital, where he lis badly crippled from rheumatism.
 During the epidemic Mir. Shepherd nursed at one of the emergency hospitals un- til he was taken ill; and after recovering from the flu, rheumatism set in so that he has been in the hospital ever since. By the advice of Dr. IT. O. Lake, the sick man will be sent to some hot springs.

SICK MAN BROUGHT
 . TO TOWN FOR CARE

Charles Anderson, we'll known oldtimer who has
 been working for Ed Bartlett on the Roos seve t-Moose wagon road, was brought to
 town last night for medical iattention, and was much im- Iproved today after he had re- Iceived treatment at the Gov Iernment hospital. The sick imam was brought from the the Kanishna by John Lee and another man. They left Roosevelt early Saturday in la small boat and padded their way down stream un- til they reached the camp of Emil Hanson, where Ander- Ison was loaded on to Han- son gas boat and, with Hanson at the wheel, a rec ord run was made to Me- mana, the launch being kept on the go day and night.
 Andy Livingston, master of the power boat Kestrel which is engaged in hauling the Aiken ore from Roose- l welt to the mouth of the ! Kantishna river, was picked
 up enroute and landed at Nenana in time yesterday to board the gascar for Fair . banks. He returned from the upper town this noon and started back for the kantishna this afternoon, i with Hanson.
 Lee reports considerable :: activity in the 'Kantishna, . with the outlook very en- couraging for large-scale de- | velopment. A number of ! good finds, he says, have . been made recently. 1
 The power-boat Kestrel [ has delivered two loads of . Aitken ore at the mouth of . the Kantishna and it is ex- i pected that the ore left ! at Roosevelt landing can be handled in another load. :
 When Lee and his com l panions left Roosevelt, the river was running bank full, ] as a result of the recent heavy rains. Considerable . country was inundated and the water was still rising, ; but the freshet did not last long, in Lees opinion. /,
 Lee may leave for the i States within the near future

WORK IS STARTING
 ON RAILROAD TRAM

The work of installing the
 aerial tram which is to span
 the Nenana river at 43-
 mile was taken in hand this week and it is expected that
 the rig will be ready for use about the first of September. : It was the intention of En- gineer in charge Freak D. Browne to commence the driving of a temporary bridge this week, but recent rains have swelled the river to such an extent that the work cannot be taken in hand at present. Mir. Browne states, however, that the bridge will be driven just as soon as water conditions will permit, and through rail communication re-establish- ed with the end of steel at Nenana canyon.
 In the meantime, the aerial tram will be used for the transfer of freight at the crossing, and during future periods of interrupted traf- fife, pending the installation of the permanent steel bridge.
 Heavy timbers for use as anchorage for the tram tow CTS were shipped out the line last week and the work of putting in the foundations is already in progress. This will require considerable time, the rest of the work being merely a matter of as- sembling the various parts and stringing the cable.
 The tram will have a 'i'&n of approximately 750 feet and will be equipped with two buckets, each with a car rying capacity of two tons. The arrangement is such that the buckets can be sent across close together or at a distance from each other so as to permit of the carrying of rails or long timbers. There is a third bucket av 'il- able for emergency use.

FAIR ASSOCIATION TO STIMU-
LATE BETTER GRADES STOCK

According to the business men of
this city with whom we have heard
their opinion expressed about the or
ganization Of the Fair Association,
Il will DO much toward stimulating
interest in the raising Of pure bred
stock Several reasons are advanced
to show that. One main reason be-
ing that too little prizes have been
offered in the past TO make competi-
ton justifiable. The firms Of the city
have been able in the past to make
up from $500 to $4,000 for prizes
each year, excepting last year This
sum has been found inadequate TO
stimulate interest enough for cOmpe-
tition. The fair association. Of course
can deduct a certain amount yearly
from the gate receipts and charge
this amount TO expenses of the asso-
citation. With this help and what the
city Of Lubbock and other towns over
the South Plains gives toward fund
for prizes will make the farmers Of
the country interested enough to
purchase pure breeds.
The banks are getting 10 gether on
"A plan to finance the boys Of the
county in purchasing pure bred pigs.
This plan when worked out will guar
antee the winning pig Of the year
prize Of not less than $4,000. Other
stock will receive prizes in proper
ton. The plans now which are yet
incomplete, is for the boys TO pur-
chase the pigs through the county
apent, who is in touch with pure bred
hogs. This subject Of the Boys Pig
Clubs will be thoroughly presented
to all interested at the different
schools of the counyt next week when
the County Board goes on its mis-
sion.
