Storm Does Little Damage.

The wind, rain and hail storm
which broke viciously over the
western borders of Craig Noun
tain about three o'clock Monday
afternoon took a northeaSterly
course, following the Clearwater
valley, the Lewiston Orchards re-
ceiving a major portion of its
fury. Some hail accompanied the
wind and rain in Idaho county
southwest of this place, Robert
Frederickson reporting a 10 per
cent damage to his crop and Glen
Powers a 25 per cent damage
while Clarence Belts, whose
place is on this side Of the can
yon, stated his fields had sustain
ed a damage of 25 to 40 per cent.
Other farms in that section
doubtless felt the effect of the
hail, but no further damage has
been reported.
The storm had spent its fury
when it reached the Craigmont,
Nezperce and Central Ridge sec
tions Of the prairie, where quite
a gale of wind preceded a show
en- of rain which lasted for short
time. The weather has since been
cooler and better for the harvest
work which is now in pretty full
swing over the eastern and nor
thern portions of Lewis county.

Grafton in this connection, and it
rs reckoned that with contin.
uance of the present favorable
weather harvest will be well
enough advanced to release all

The faculty for this year has

while financial conditions re-
quire some restrictions in it's
number over preceding years, its

Election September 8.

On the 9th Of next month an
election will be held in this dis
trict for the selection of three
trustees to succeed N. Il. Agrell
and j. r. Hughes, whose terms
expire, and G. +. Thomas, who
has resigned on account Of re-
moving from the district. At
this time the electors will also be
given an opportunity to vote up
ON a proposition to increase the
school levy for the year 1921.
This is made possible by spec
ial act of the last Legislature un-
der which an increase may be vot-
ed in districts whose levy had al
ready reached the legal limit.
The extraordinary situation re-
sultant from war conditions made
some such enactment imperative,
and IN order to meet the increas-
ing expenses during the past two
years, which finds our district
with $4,000 of outstanding war
rants, the opportunity to take adj
of this particular enact
ment will be given.
An amendment in the school
election laws requires that NOM
nations for school trustees must
be filed with the county clerk
six days prior to the election,
which filing may be made by any
citizen tax payer of the district.
Notice Of this election will ap-
pear in these columns next week.

1t was not until the next day that
Miss Jane remembered the coral
hearts.
How could have forgotten that
drawer?" she exclaimed In distress.

Meanwhile the desk travelled far
away from the sleepy little village
to a large city. II caught the eye
one day of an elderly gentleman
peering aimlessly around the shop.

Unnoticed by the dealer he search
ed the desk for a secret drawer
which he opened, evidently finding
what he had been looking for. Some
bargaining ended in the purchase of
the desk.
Then when the desk was finally
deposited in his room at the hotel
he lit a pipe and INDUCED in a dream.
There was a gentle, brown-eyed
girl in the dream. and honeysuckle
and moonlight. What was II they
had quarreled about? He had for

her standing pale and dropping
among the honeysuckle as he went
away. What a fool he had been
not to have gone back.
He had tried to forget her IN
his travels, poor little brown-eyed
Jane among the honeysuckle, and
now this desk with it's forgotten
coral trinkets, which he had STUN
bled upon by the merest chance,
had bridged over the weary years
at a leap.
Rhoda, Miss webster's faithful
old servant, had a caller several
times soon afterward, always when
her mistress was out.
Once an unwi eldy box arrived
and the visitor and Rhoda un-
packed 1t together in great glee.
When Miss Jane came back
Rhoda, in a state Of great excite
ment, led her to the old desk stand
ing in its accustomed place.
"Oh Rhoda, Rhoda," exclaimed
Miss Jane bstween laughing and
crying. tell me about It,"
1.-THE gentleman himself will tell
you" replied Rhoda mysteriously.
"He said he'd be here early this
evening"
Miss Jane eagerly searched
through the desk, looking first in
the drawer where the coral hearts
had been left. But they were gone
and In their place was a ring Of
twisted gold. On a card was writ.

All atremble Miss Jane closed
the drawer, a wave of happiness
flooding her heart. 1t had indeed
been the fairy godmother who had
sent the antique dealer. Then the
well known click of the gate reused
her and all aflutter she rose to
greet the old friend of her youth.
