STORMS HURT GRAIN Many Sections of Northwest Feel Effect of Hail. dry Ticket chosen. CROP DAMAGES REACH $300,000 Mox Porco and Camas Prairie bis trlcts Are Affected Most Man Struck by Lightning. Portland, July 10. Various sections of Oregon and Washington have been visited by unusually heavy rain, hail and electrical storms throughout the past days, causing considerable dam age, especially to grain fields. The storms, which began Monday with a heavy downpour in Morrow, Wasco, Gilliam and other eastern counties, were followed by severe hail and elec trical disturbances in several sections. Perhaps the most serious damage occurred in the Nez Perce and Camas prairie districts. In this section a hail storm began Tuesday and con tinued yesterday. The ripening grain in a belt 15 miles wide is reported as practically ruined. The yield in this section would have been very heavy, and the damage is estimated at $300, 000. In the vicinity of North Yakima, Wash., yesterday, there was a violent electrical storm. The damage was small, but one man, C. M. Harring ton, was struck by lightning and per haps fatally injured. A heavy hail storm in the Des Chutes district has ruined som nf flic best grain fields in that vicinity. Crops on five of the best Tygh ridge farms are a complete loss. In all the counties south of the Co lumbia rain has been falling. In some cases it has been of benefit, but in most instances the grain is too far : reported to the naval experts here. along to be greatly helped, and the yield will be considerably below normal. Chafin and Watklns Will Carry Bannor for Prohibition Party. Columbus, 0., July 17. For presi dent, Eugene W. Chafin, of Chicago. For vice-president Aaron S. Wat kins, of Ada, Ohio. The above ticket was nominated yesterday by the Prohibition national convention, both men being chosen unanimously. The- full indorsement of the convention was not, however, given to Mr. Chafin until after three ballots had been taken. Chafin, who was a delegate to the convention, was escorted to the plat form. He was formally declared by Chairman Scaulon to be the presi dential nominee, and in a speech re turned his thanks for tho had been- thrust upon him, declaring that he would rather be the nominee of the Prohibition party than the suc- -!mi canuiuaic ot any otner party Both the nresidentl.il nnH viV-rrc. idential nominees arc candidates fnr Buvtmur in ineir respective states on I.
