Hail Storm Loss
Widespread
Strike» at Scobey, Jump» Into North
Dakota, Cut« Down Crops; Break»
Winuows at Watford City.
Sidney, Aug. 2.—Hail clouds rolled
up in the heat ol the late afternoon
Tuesday, reaching their peak, accord
ing to information, over the Scobey
territory where they broke and a ter
rific hail storm ensued, which jump
ed from there to the Bainville terri
tory, over into Williams county in
North Dakota and terminated at its
height in McKenzie county in the
Watford City territory.
A swath several miles wide was cut
in the previously unbroken expanse
of the most wonderful crops the sec
tion has ever boasted at this pre
harvest time in the several localities
the hail storm struck. The writer
with his family, driving back to Sid
ney from North Dakota, was in the
fringe of it at Spring Brook, N. D.,
taking shelter under the awning of a
filling station there. The roar and
rumble of the storm was appalling at
that point. A hard rain storm fol
lowed but leaving Spring Brook a
few miles toward Williston the high
way was perfectly dry. The next day
driving from Williston to Sidney we
found that it hadn't even rained in
Richland county and the territory this
side of the rivers had been spared by
the hail storm.
At Watford City the windows on
the windward side of nearly all the
buihungs were broken out by the hail
stones and all the windows on one
side of the passenger coach used on
the G. N. branch from Fairview to
Watford. The writer saw the coach
as it was being pulled to Williston
the next nay to be re-glassed. It was
a sigj.t and we can imagine resembled
a coatn on a Mexican railway after
a bombardment by rebels.
How great the crop damage was
over the entire territory in the path
of the storm is not known here at
this time. The telegraph service was
partially out of commission for sev
eral hours and washouts on the main
lines impeded mail service. Nor
thern Pacific passenger trains were
detoured at Bismarck over the S"o
Lint to Minot and from there over
the G. N. through Sidney t > Glendive
going west, and the east bound trains
detoured reversely over the same
route, last night and today.

At the regular meeting of the board
f CO unty commissioners held in Plen
tywood the first of the week a reso
lution was passed asking the land
owners and tenants to co-operate with
the board in keeping down the weeds
and tall grass along the roads in
Sheridan county by mowing down the
same.
ln Koing over the matter it was
brought out that much of the trouble
with roads drifting full of snow in j
winter was caused by high weeds, !
8weet clover, etc., acting as a wind !
break, causing the snow to drift on to
the open road and if these were
dow n the snow would blow off the |
bi ghway and make travel possible.
T he commissioners also offered the
SUKKestion that such a beneficial act |
would take but a short time if all the I
bmdownèrs and tenants would co-op
erate>
Following is the resolution: ;

utl °îî was mtrodu ced and adopted, all

county has been exhausted and there

alon{ : the highways and roads of the
C0UI1 y ' and 't 18 necessary that such
weeds and grass be cut in order to
keep the highways and roads clear of

Be It Resolved, that all the land
owners and tenants in the county be
asked to co-operate with thi sboard in

by cutting all weeds and grass grow

And Be It Further Resolved, that

ed to give their co-operation in the
matter by publishing this resolution,
and give the matter such further T» u b

The large amount of building going
on in the state is shown by the vari

tions. Thus cement, brick, concrete,
tile, plumbing and heating, contract
ing, teaming and lumber industries all
show a very substantial gain, both in
numbers reporting and the volume of
business transacted. These industries
show that the state is growing both
in wealth and population, because
f r °m 1920 to 1927 these types of
business paid very little tax, the larg
est increase being shown in the past
two years.
Flour Mills, Etc.
Flour mills increased their profits
considerably this year. Last year 4

$1,799.84 while this year seven mills
'reported paying a tax of $6,795.72.
