Hail. AND WIND
Series of Storms DO Hundreds of Thou
sands of Dollars Damage in kiowa
and PrOwers Counties

The past week has been ore of the
this section of the Arkansas valley as
practically every day has witnessed
severe storms in the territory within
few miles of our city although so
far the immediate Lamar country has
escaped lucky. There have been many
of these storms, but the worst were
those OF last Thursday evening and
again on Monday evening of this week
There were two last Thursday. one
taking almost all of Kiowa county
from Eads east to the state line, and
another striking the fine farming sec
ton in the southeast corner of Prowers
county. Chas. Sweitzer, one of the
most progressive farmers of Kiowa
county, was here last Friday and re-
ported that in the path of the storm
very little was left At his place the
wheat and other crops were literally
wiped out and poultry of all kinds was
killed in great numbers. He lost
county had the largest acreage in
crops this year that has ever been
planted there and the loss will run into
big figures. The reports from the
southeast section of Prowers county
are almost as bad. Geo. II. Turner of
Larmar lost large aereages in both
storms as he had hundreds Of acres
in both sections and with the excep-
ton of two hundred acres that had
been harvested il was total loss.
The storm OF Monday evening was
even worse as it combined high wind
with hail and struck he rich irrigated
section between Bris rol and Hartman
and the river reaching almost 10 the
town of Holly. Alon' the path of the
storm large buildip., were unroofed
and sometimes moved off the founda-
tions. windmills torn down, trees up
rooted and many fruit trees stripped
of their leaves and even bark. Crops
were almost entirely wiped out and
poultry and even calves and pigs were
killed. At Bristol the warehouse OF
the Farmers Alfalfa mill was blown
down and much other damage done.
At Hartman the storm seemed the
most severe and the windows all over
town were simply knocked TO pieces.
much damage done TO the roofs OF
houses, the two church buildings were
badly damaged and even loaded box
cars blown off the track in the rail
road yards. 1t was the most destrue-
tive storm that has visited that section
for years and the loss will run into
| immense sums. The acreage covered
is the very richest section under the
Amity canal and included consider
able portion OF the ccmpany's land.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS
Paving Petition win BE Acted ON Soon
and Contracts Let For the
Surfacing

At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell, Alderman l. II. Myers presented
the petition of the south side business
men for paving on South Main street
and Olive and Elm streets for one
block in each direction from Main
street. The paving petition for both
sections of Main street are now before
the aldermen and will be acted on at
the next meeting. 1t is one step
towards securing this much needed i'm
provement.
lhe aldermen also let a contract for
nearly two miles of gravel surfacinR
on our streets similar to the work done
on Third street last year which has
proved so successful that in spite of
of the fact that the traffic on Third
street is heavier than ON any other
street except Main street, it is in
better condition today than any other
street in our city. 1t is this fact that
has induced the aldermen to continue
the work.
facing about two miles beginning at
the point where Oak street meets
Prosperity Lane on the west side of
town and extending east on Oak street
to either Second or First street, then
north to Olive street and west on Olive
TO Thirteenth street and then south to
Oak street. The two blocks on Olive
at the intersection Of Main street which
are included in the paving petition
are omitted. The Third street sur
facing will be extended north across
the railroad tracks TO the Santa Fe
Trail.
The surfacing will be done with pit
gravel and is contracted 10 George
Mahan at 90 cents per cubic yard for
the gravel spread on the streets. The
city reserves the right to do as much
trucks and the contractor il to load
the city trucks at 20 cents per yard.
The necessary grading is to be done
at the rate of SIS per day for man and
George. 1t is estimated that the cost
to the city Of the work thus contracted
will be in the neighborhood Of $1,000.
and will be big improvement to our
city, and will be followed by more
work Of this kind, later.
The Lamar streets have long needed
some real effective work that would
be OF lasting character and be real
improvement. and this is the most
intelligent effort in this line yet pro-
posed. AT this rate the surfacing OF
all our city streets would not be a big
amount and could be taken care OF
out OF the street and alley fund in
very few years without any extra
taxes.
