DAMAGE TO CROPS
BY HAIL REPORTED
Grains In Some Dry and Irri-
gated Areas Suffer AS Har-
vest Gathers Momentum

Damage to crops by hail occurred
at various places in this vicinity
and central Montana during the
week. Locally the hail areas were
relatively small and scattered, but
in the great grain-producing Judith
Basin in Fergus county the damage
was reported as severe.
Barney & Hartley, operating on
the north fork of Canyon creek, a
few miles from Mott, reported dam
age to wheat they were about to
harvest. Other adjoining farms
were struck also.
B. l.. Price reported this week
that land known as the old Por-
ter place, about seven miles south
of Laurel, had sustained damage
by hail. Similar reports came from
Valley creek west of Park City and
elsewhere, including irrigated sec
lions of the Yellowstone valley.
Montana's crops grew rapidly
last week, but additional rainfall
was needed in the n~orth-central and
southeastern areas. Some late
spring grains were beginning to
show the effect of a few weeks of
dry, hot weather in northeastern
and north-central sections. In the
vicinity of Laurel the harvest of
winter wheat was progressing
moderately, perhaps retarded by
frequent showers and unusually low
temperatures.
Rosebud, Saltwater and Treasure
counties began combining their win
ter wheat, an operation that started
here some 10 days or more ago. The
yields in Yellowstone county are
about 80 bushels per acre.

Unofficial Returns Or L%aureI's Three
Precincts Voting In Primaries Given

Republicans in the three Laurel
precincts, 5, 9 and 20, gave Yelling
ton d. Rankin of Missoula a two
vote majority over Tom Davis of
Butte for the party's nomination
for United States senator. Dem
ocrats overwhelmingly favored the
nomination of James E. Murray as
their party's candidate for re-elec-
ton.
Republicans strongly favored Sam
Ford for governor, a position he
now holds, while John w. Bon
ner, 1872; Arthur F. Lamey, 100,
and Left Erickson, 103, were the
three high with the Laurel Demo-
The unofficial returns indicated
that more people in the three pre-
cincts voted as Democrats than as
Republicans.
Figures by precincts and totals
as compiled early Wednesday by the
Laurel Outlook are:
Laurel outlook., 1948-07-21

Announcement was made Tuesday
by T. A. Cothron, county assessor,
that Yellowstone has stepped in the
rating of second class county by
gaining more than $14 million in
property values in the past year.
The announcement was made when
The assessor formally notified the
board of county commissioners that
the assessed value of property in
the county for 1913 totals $19,231,-
713, with the taxable value at $780,
827, 284.
The increase automatically bring
ing the county into the second class
standing. The only other county in
the state rated as second class is
Cascade, which went into that class
last year when a 1 per cent in
crease in all real property was made
by county officials. Yellowstone
has been in third class since 1910.
practically all the large increase
in value of the last eight years
has been new wealth brought into
the county," the assessor said. Cali
real property is valued or the 1870
Al schedule. Today's selling price
of real property ranges from high
to fantastic, and it is next to i'm
possible to place a true value on
it, so the board has held the opin-
ion that it is impractical to make
any change in city property values
at this time"

WOMAN DIES NEARLY
INSTANTLY TUESDAY.
Of WOUND IN HEAD
Officers Find Mrs. Olson Came
To Her Death By Self-In-
flicted GunshOt Injury

Mrs. Wallace Olson. formerly
Miss Velma Dye, daughter of Mrs.
Ella Dye, died of a self-inflicted
wound from a caliber rs automatic
in a room at the New Yellowstone
hotel in Laurel at 1:30 p. m. Tues
day. Sheriff Albert Thomas de-
scribed the case as suicide, but said
that further investigation would be
made.
Earl Granger, hotel manager,
was laying linoleum in the hall just
outside Mrs. Olson's room when he
heard the shot. He Immediately
called a doctor and gained entry in
to the room by breaking the door
Mrs. Olson, formerly of Laurel,
had spent the winter in Great Falls
before coming to Billings where
she stayed for three months. The
night of July 8 she registered at
the hotel in Laurel, and was joined
by her mother who came from Mis-
soula on July IL. She was said
to have been suffering from poor
health at the time of her death.
She graduated from Laurel high
school in 1927, and from Montana
State university in 1880. From
to 1886 she was engaged in
the teaching profession.
She was a member of the Metho-
list church in Missoula, and of the
Eastern Star chapter of Lowell.

Is years have risen from an as
sessed $58,173,896 and a taxable
