HAIL STORMS
. CAUSE UNION,
COVE DAMAGE
(Continued from Page 1)'
Yesterday's storm at Cove is deplorable because it de
. fttroyed the crops of a few growers almost completely a loss
they could ill afford to suffer. But there is compensation in
the fact that the Iosr, in, relation to the whole district, was
smaller than might be expected and that many of those in
the' path of the hail already had a large portion of the
crop marketed. Nature seems unwilling to allow liny year
to get too close to perfection. Regardless of the storm, re
liable estimates indicates that the gross agricultural earnings
throughout the valley will be a million to a million and a
(uarter more than last year.
A WORTHY ROAD PROJKCT
. Efforts of the Lions Club toward a Starkey-Ukiah road
across theJJlue Mountains from the Old Oregon 'Trail "at
llilgard is serving an excellent purpose in calling this, route
to public attention and in enlisting the support of commun
ities to the west. Like all important rond projects it will
require several years of work before the route can be fully
approved.
No road in the northwest would be more attractive from
n general scenic standpoint than this proposed. Ukiab-Dcndle-
lon-Ln Grande loop, but the road to Ukiah is the only portion
needing special effort at the present time, Krom that com
munity north a good road is ulreiidy built or rather definitely
fissured for the near future.
Three agencies will be needed for the ultimate completion
of; the highway to Ukiah." Much of the preliminary work
must be done by Union county to provide a good market road
to! Starkey, with the forest service and the state highway
commission giving important, co-operation for the finishing
of the western outlet. The real goal of such a project should
be: a state highway west to Ukiah, as The Observer has
pointed out several times in the last two years. '
( ibis can be accomplished but it wilt take time. We dis
cussed the Ukiah route with .members of the state highway
commission several months ago and it is one of many pro
jects that will receive ultimate consideration. No additions
to1 the present system of state highways can be made for
about four years the time allowed for completing the roads
on the present highway map and the commission is right in
such a policy. It would be folly to add new roads constantly,
failing to complete the comprehensive system now outlined.
When new i roads are added, Union county citizens must be
on the job to argue the importance of the Ukiah outlet.
'In the meanwhile the county court should lay plans for
building an improved road to Starkey as rapidly as possible,
thus completing the first section of Hie route to Ukiah. With
extensive logging operations in the Starkey district' this is
vitally important to the rest of the county and the county can
well anticipate road funds to the extent of getting this road
under way. With the county showing interest it will be
easier to sell the stale highway commission on the project
r.nd finally accomplish a route to Ln Grande from western
r.nd central Oregon that will carry much traffic and bring
business from a rich territory.

trees In the south part of town
were hard hit. It Is believed that
dnmnKC to the prune orchnrds

them are In the north part of
town where the storm was not so
severe.
"The apple district In the Imhler-
lOla-ln territory, escaped the storm
entirely. At t'onley there was
dust . storm but no damaK was
done.' In l.a Ornnde llKht thunder

the 22.000 and OH. moo volt trans

rushed to the scene of the trouble
as qulckly'as possible, and In spite
of handicaps, the service was re
sumed shortly. ' ' ' .

Kunlcns, corn, prune ireca being
riddled by the hnll Inn the path of
the storm, she said that In some
orchards In the storm center, two
third of the prunea were on the
ground. The cherry men In the
storm area are luckier than some
of the other growers, ahe pointed
out, as they have already harvest
ed a groat deal or their crops,
while prunes, etc., are far from
IipIuk ripe. .. .
The storm went through Hlirli
Valley, then striking t'ove.
According- tff J. E. Mills, who
lost almost 70 tons of prunes nnd
other crops on his piuea which
was In the, center or the storm
belt, the storm exlended from the
Hay Duncan place -on the south I
