small amounts.
Among the early reports of damage
to reach the city were those from the
Chas. F. Anderson ranch on the Tiger
Butte road, from where a so per cent
loss was reported on so acres of wheat
still uncut; from the VIM. Junker-
meier, F. S. Florek. Ed and Archie
Dawson and j. I. Bough ranches and
the Swan Thorson place at the head of
Arlington eouise; from the Milton
Peterson, Gus Swanson, Mike Havenitz
and N. II. Clark places on Little Belt
and the Earl Johnson and Foreman
Talbot places on Willow creek. Mr.
Florek estimated his loss as about
half on 80 acres, while those in the
Little Belt section. with the excep-
tion of Mr.. Havenitz, estimated the
loss at about 25 per cent. Earl john
son and Talbot had just begun cutting
and their losses are estimated at about
Is per cent John Marn lost 21 acres
Of spring wheat and John Zivi 35
acres of spring and fall, besides the
oats being complete loss.
Mr.. Havenitz was one of the heavy
losers, he estimating that his crop of
ITO acres still standing is a complete
loss. Only about 20 acres of his crop
had been cut. The hail also played
havoc with his poultry flock, the storm
coming up SO, suddenly that they did
not have time to reach shelter and
many of the birds were killed by the
hail
In the Arminpton coulee section con-
of the grain has been cut
On Junkermeier's place only 15 acres
remained to be cut, and it is estimated
that the loss on this amounted TO
about five bushels to the acre, with
about an equal loss up through the
coulee, though at the head Of the eou-
lee the Thorson and c. L. Crane
ranches are said to have suffered a
little heavier loss Just what dam

Hail Destroys ThOus=
andS of Acres of Grain

Accompanied by but little wind, a
terrific. hail storm Tuesday forenoon
swept over large section of the coun-
try hereabouts, extending from the
Tiger Butte section TO the Little Belt
mountains, covering stretch approx
imately 20 miles long and six miles
wide, damaging to a varying degree
hundreds of acres of grain which still
remained uncut, and in some instances
causing a complete loss of the stand
ing crop, while more or less damage
was also done to grain in the shock.
In some places it was reported that
hail lay two feet deep on the ground
when the storm ended. In the lower
country the damage was not quite so
heavy as in the higher foothills, due to
the fact that cutting was pretty well
along in the valley while further up to-
ward the mountains it had only begun,
some only starting on the day of the
storm. The fact that the grain was
moist from the rain of the night before
also saved it from shelling as badly
as it would have otherwise. The
storm seemed to travel in north
easterly direction, following along
Arlington coulee, evidently splitting,
one half going toward Willow creek
and the other toward Cora creek and
Otter creek.
Yesterday afternoon local writers
af hail insurance had not received
word from all the policy holders in
the various sections, and it is hard to
determine just how much the damage
will amount to. 1t is believed that
possibly one half the growers in the
affected area carried more or less in

Diphtheria Prob
able, vaCCinating

DR.. F. T. Foard, of the United
States public health service, upon his
visit to Belt and Armington Monday
for the purpose of continuing the vac
cination of applicants in an effort to
prevent a typhoid fever epidemic,
made possible through the contamin-
alton of Belt creek with the germ,
asked the Belt Valley Times to call
the attention of parents in this COM
: munity TO the fact-that an epidemic of
diphtheria is very possible in this sec
tion of this state this winter, and
to urge upon them the necessity of
having their children innoculated
against the disease before the opening
of school, when the outbreak can be
expected. He explained that diph-
liberia increases over a seven year per-
iod and that records show that this is
the seventh year Since January this
year there have been "a cases in Cas-
cade county, with ii deaths, while in
1915 there were but four cases, each
year since showing an increase, with
go cases last year.
Vaccination for diphtheria is the ap-
proved method of treatment and pre-
vention. Toxin anti-toxin is used
for the vaccination and innoculation is
made free of charge. DR.. Foard is
visiting Belt and Arlington each
Monday for the purpose Of admin
istering the vaccine. He believes it I
imperative that all parents who have I
the welfare of their children at heart /
should take steps to prevent them
from contracting diphtheria when the
fall term of school opens and they are
most certain to be exposed TO it
through contact with carriers or in
dividuals who have had mild cases and
have not known it.
There was q considerable increase i'm
the number of applicants for vaccin
alton Monday, SIX additional persons
appearing at Arlington for the ty-
phoid innoculation and eight for the
first admins ration for diphtheria in
In Belt several were
phoid serum, besides the 81 who ap-
peared the previous week. There
were also many children present to re-
ceive innoculation against diphtheria,
but due to the fact that many vaccin-
ations had been made in Great Falls
that morning and additional supplies
Of the fluid had not arrived from Hell
ena, he had not sufficient of the vac
cine and had to turn all new appli- t
.ants away. However. he will have an j
ample supply next Monday and viii (
Vaccinate all who appear for it. He a
may be found at / o'clock at Arming- q
.on and at 3 o'clock at the school aud a

Lath Co. Gets Neii-
hart Timber Acres

The Lewistown Lumber Il Lath
company of Neihart closed a con-
tract with the United States govern
ment forestry department the lat
ter part of past week on 100 acres of
timber on which it has built mill
capable Of manufacturing $4,000 laths
daily, according to w. E. Gilbert of
the Lewistown company.
This deal has been pending for
some time awaiting finished appraise-
ments by forestry officials Of the
Great Falls office and the acceptance
and pricing Of the timber by the Of
ficiaIs OF the government forvstry de-
partment. The mill started operations
in full swing the first Of this week.
He intimated that his company
would soon be able TO buy 400 acres
of timber which the government will
sell. The land and mill arc located
two and one half miles this side of
Kirw's Hill and about six and one half
miles from the railroad shipping point
at Ncihart.
The | 400 acres are enough to sup

full years, every day in the week. The
Payroll Of the Lewistown company will
run about $4,000 month, with about
az men working in the mill and in

OFFICERS FAIL TO
ARREST BEE SWARM
Patrolnaen Geri Discovers Big Swarm
OF Bees Near Garden and
DeviIliers Streets.

With the coming Of the spring bees
begin to swarm and move about in
quest Of a desirable location to store
the honey that they extract from the
flowers. They generally come from the
hive and swarm on some certain spot
before they hit a bee line" for parts
unknown. and such was the incident
which Officer Cert reported, to the
police station when he went off
watch" yesterday afternoon. Just
where the bees came from the officer
did not know, nor did he care so much,
but he was afraid that they might get
mad and play havoc with animal or
man that happened to pass along by
the corner of Devilliers and Garden
Streets, where. a. he expressed it,
about gallon Of them had collected
on the limb Of a small tree"
%. L. Rigby, South DevilMers,
claimed the bees, and Officer Geri was
content to let the owner do his own
hiving. This happened without Incl
dent and the bees are now happily
located in q man-made hive, where
they will store the fruits OF the sea-
sons labor.

CITY TO PURCHASE
PALAFOX PROPERTY
Ordinances Amended So as to Comply
With Supreme Courts Decision on
Second Reading.

The city OF Pensacola will proceed
to purchase the Palafox dock and ad-
taoent properties for the purpose OF a
municipal dock. The two proposed or.
dInances empowering the city to buy
the McTlwain and Welles properties for
this purpose which were placed on
first reading last November but held
up when the citizens committee filed
an injunction. were placed on second
reading at the regular meeting OF the
board OF city commissioners yesterday
Afternoon. However, proposed orH-
nance No. a. authorizing the purchase
of the Welles property was amended
80 an to conform TO the recent decision
Of the supreme court.
The point OF holding the city liable
for any damage that might be caused
to the property reserved for the q. e.
Saunders company was holly contest
ed by tho attorneys for the citizenH'
committee, but the supreme court held
that provision imperative and invalid
SO the proposed ordinance was amend
ed as follows: ''and notwithstanding
an provision in said conveyance to the
contrary nothing herein shall be con-
strued to render the city liable or any
loss or any or Tn0 property reserved
to the Erantors in said deed, or to re-
place any said property that might be
damaged by fire. storm, or other
cause"
Shortly after the decision was hand
ed. down by the supreme court there
was some talk Of further litigation, but
the citizens committee agreed to the
making OF am order by Judge Jones
revoklng the previous restraining or
der made by him in the cause. This
dissolving order was made by Judge
Jones and read before the meeting
yesterday
There has been no further change In
the original proposition. The McIlwain
property will be purchased at q cost Of
$4,000. and the Welles property for
$3.50, 900.
The ordinance will be put on third
and final readings at special meeting
OF the board OF city commissioner
which has been called for Wednesday
morning at 10 O'Clock, and in due time
the deal will he consummated.
