CROP LOSSES FROM
HAIL NOT EXCESSIVE
State Hail Insurance Chief Says De-
~struction In Montana Not Greater
Than In Many Other Years


In spite Of the many storms that
are reported TO have cleaned out
sections OF the farming districts of
the state, crop losses from such
storms will not be excessive &C
cording TO T.. X. Bowman, chief of
the board Of state hail insurance.
Upon his return to Helena from a
trip about the state adjusting hail
losses Mr.. Bowman states emphat-
ically that crop losses this year will
not be any greater than have been
occasioned by hail storms In many
other years. The greatest number
of claims for loss this year are
along the Musselshell river between
Judith Gap and Billings. In the
northern part of the state only q
small number Of losses, and those
light, have been reported. More
recent storms in the Gallatin and
along the Yellowstone have caused
considerable loss but taken alto
gether the crop outlook for the
state Is splendid and the losses will
not aggregate any more than the
losses usually incurred by farmers
Of the state.

bined wind, rain and hailstorm,
wrought great devastation over a large
| section stretching east from that city.
Starting northwest of Roundup In a
swath about five miles wide, the storm
struck the Yellowstone river near Gus
ter and then followed the river east,
with great damage between Forsyth
and Hatha way, and continued 10
Miles City. Washouts were reported
on both the Northern Pacific and the
Milwaukee railways.

tornado. Trees were stripped of
leaves. gardens and fields were beaten
down until hardly a spear of grass is
standing.
West Of the Bair-C Collins mines,
water in gulches was 10 to IS feet
deep, while trees were uprooted by
the hundreds. All ways of communica-
ton were out of commission. In

The silent battle between the United

ference for the last few days and
ended In victory for America, became
an open contest In the last session,
when Sir Horace Rumbolt, after pro-
testing Turkeys refusal to ratify the
British Mosul concession in the treaty,
declared that 1t seemed very uncer-
tain on what ground the American
government wished to intervene be-
tween the Turkish government and the
Turkish Petroleum company.
Sir Horace made this statement
after the American representative said
that the American government was
gratifled that a way had been found
to solve the difficult question of con
cessions and that he took 1t for grant
ed that the protocol affecting the
French railroad company and the
vickers-Armstrong company would not
be applied In SUCH a way as to preju-
dice the vested rights of American cit
liens or companies.
