Mox Porco and Camas Prairie bis

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.

yield will be considerably below normal.
Chafin and Watklns Will Carry Bannor

Columbus, 0., July 17. For presi

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

that he would rather be the nominee
of the Prohibition party than the suc-
