Hail losses to date are 1896, as
compared to LOTT to June 90 last
year and 1922 to June "a in 1922.
They are from many counties, par
ticularly in the central and western
parts Of the state. Losses reported

RELIEF VOTED
BY STATE FOR
ANYFARMERS
Some Lost Entire Property in
Cyclone in Minnesota,
Reports Given

st. Paul, June 24.-The State board
of relief, at the call of Governor
Preus, today voted $4,000 as relief
for farmers stricken by the tornado
which destroyed numerous homes
and killed three persons in the
Tracy Balaton district late Sunday.
The relief was voted by the board
following report of conditions by
Adjutant-General w. F. Rhinow, who
returned late Monday from that dis
trict where he was sent to invest-
gate by Governor Preus.
General Rhinow reported that he
had made an airplane trip in the
Walnut -Balaton district and found
that farmers were made destitute by
the storm which wiped out virtually
all their homes. Between 30 and 40
homes were destroyed and in most
instances farmers were not insured,
the general said. These farmers are
left without any means, and he
urged that the state board of relief
take immediate action in voting suf
ficiently large amounts to build
shacks to house these destitute
farmers.

PARLEY HERE
Initiative up to Carriers, Says
Commission Head

The North Dakota state railroad
commission will not call any con-
ference for the purpose Of consider
ing new Ignite coal rate tariffs,
Frank Milhollan, chairman of the
commission, said today after an
nouncement had been made that the
South Dakota commission was con-
sidering such action. The North
Dakota commission, which recently
dismissed the complaint of railroa Is
for higher Ignite coal tariffs, takes
the position that the proposals for
increased rates were instituted by
the carriers, the burden Of proof
naturally fell upon them and if
there is to be any conference of in
terested parties it would be up to
them to take the initiative, Mr..
said.
