Violent Hail Storm.
A hail storm of unusual violence vis
ited an area 4 miles west of Moscow
June 13. J. P. Weiden, M. Boyd and
J. W. Nyquist lost all of their fall
wheat. Mr. Boyd recently bought the
Herington farm, for which he paid
$135 an acre, and on this serious dam
age whs done. Gardens were com
pletely destroyed, fruit trees stripped
of leaves and fruit and fall grain beat
en into the ground. Covering a strip
a mile wide, tlie storm swept in a
northeasterly direction toward Viola.
Onl? the fall wheat was seriously dam
aged. It is thought that possibly one
third of a crop may harvested from
the Tail wheat of favorable weather
conditions follow. 'Some of the wheat
may straighten up and make hay, but
the loss of such a good crop with
wheat prices at $2 a bushel is a serious
one to the many farmers.
Further reports fbrom the storm
swept district show that the damage
was much greater than earlier reports
indicated. It is estimated that at least
3000 acres of fine fall wheat were de
stroyed or badly damaged across the
line in Whitman county. The storm
extended over tlie state line into La
tah county.

ACROSS ATLANTIC
IN 16
LANDS AT CLIFDEN, 1900 MILES,
FIRST NON STOP FLIGHT
ACROSS ATLANTIC.
COUPLE BRITISH FLIERS DOIT
Speed Much of Way Through Fog—
Adventures Amazing and Hazard
ous—Landed in a Bog—Claim
It Is the Best Route.
London.—The final goal of all the
ambitions which flying men have ven
tured to dream since the Wright Bros,
first rose from the earth in a heavier
tlian air machine was realized Sunday
morning when the young British offi
cer, Captain John Atcock, and Lieuten
ant Arthur Brown, landed on tlie Irish
coast after the first nonstop flight
across the Atlantic.
Their voyage was without accident.
It was a straightaway, clean cut flight,
achieved in 16 hours and ^2 minutes,
from St. Johns, N. F., to Clifden, Ire
land, more than 1900 miles.
But the brief and modest descrip
tion which comes from the airmen at
Clifden tells of an adventurous and
amazingly hazardous enterprise. Fog
and mists hung over the north Atlantic
and tlie Vickefs-Vimy biplane climbed
and dove, struggling; to extricate her
self from*the folds of the airplane's
worst enemy.
She i-ose to 11,000 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface of the sea
and at times the two navigators found
themselves flying upside down only 10
feet, above the water.
Mists robbed the night of the advan
tage of the full nioori and tile wireless
apparatus was torn away by the'wind
soon after the start. So the two young
pioneers of the Atlantic flight without
a stop were thrown upon their own re
sources. The skilful navigation which
brought the machine near to the cen
ter of the Irish coast line was one of
the finest features of the flight.
Landed in a Bog.
Before coming) to earth near the Clif
den wireless station, Alcock circled
the wireless aerials, seeking the best
spot. But no suitable ground was
found, so he chanced it in a bog. *
The wireless staff rushed to the aid
o ftlie aviators. They found Brown
dazed and Alcock temporarily deafen
ed !by tlie force of the impact. As
soon as they were, able to be escorted
to tlie wireless station they telegraph
ed the news to their friends; then had
breakfast.
"That is the best Way to cross the
Atlantic." said Lieutenant Brown aft
ty he had eaten.
OUR RELATIONS WITH
GREAT BRITAIN JARRED
Senator Knox Resolutions and Senate
Speeches Are Published in Lon
don Papers With Comment.
London.—Reading the British "press
shows plainly that the relations be
tween Great Britain and America are
being strained. The senate speeches,
the Knox resolutions against the
league of nations and the report of
the American mission which investi
gated the Sinn Fein were published
Saturday. Even the radical press, that
lias fought Ireland's battles for a gen
eration. can not support the American
indictment of English rule without
many qualifications and reservations.
Americans should understand clearly
that they are endangering seriously
good relations with Great Britain by
dragging her into their international
political disputes. While close stu
dents of American affairs jyipraise the
attacks at their true',value, it is well
to remember that the great masses are
ignorant of American politics and that
grave misunderstandings develop very
quickly when conditions generally are
unstable.
SAYS WORLD IS SICK OF WAR.
League of Nations Will Prevent a Re
currence, Declares Cummings.
Reno, Nev.—"Tlie world is sick of
war. and the league of nations is the
only feasible plan to prevent a recur
rence of war,'' Homer S. Cummings,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, declared recently in a talk
at a conference here of party leaders.
"History will record that the admin
istration of President Wilson consti
tuted a golden age in American states
manship," he declared.
Bandit Kills Bank Cashier.
Gary, Ind.—Five automobile bandits
Saturday failed in an attempt to rob
the First State bank here, but it ocst
the life of Cashier Herman W. JJecker.
When the dozen other persons in the
bank put up their hands, Uecker at-1
tempted to reach for a pistol,
bandits shot him dead and- dashed
from the building without any loot.

Nome, Alaska.—Bering sea winter
ice, which disappeared from the road
stead in front of Nome two weeks ago,
