The Palouse 1 country practically escaped damage, but Franklin and Auams counties were bad ly damaged, as were parts of northern Idaho. Htandlnsr rraln in Franklin and Adam I counties In many places was beaten tlat to the g-rouna by hailstones as large as an egg, and around the Genessee coun-1 try In Latah county. Idaho, the same! storm prevailed. At Genessee there were two storms Saturday afternoon. The first began at 2 o'clock and passed two mile west or tne town, covering a iraci four miles wide. The standing grain was completely threshed out oy the hail and ueaten to the ground. The heavy rain which accompanied the hail did a vaat amount Of damage, and hay stacks and grain stacks were carried away by the flood that prevailed. The second storm came at 4:80 o'clock and was general over the entire district In ravine near town there was three feet of halL The grain standing In the field before the storm is ruined, and a passer-by would never know that there was a splendid crop here this season. Shocked grain was completely threshed by the hall. The damage here cannot be estimated, at this time, but It will amount to thou sands of dollars. Cattle and sheep Suffered severely by the fierce hall storm, and reports come that many sheep were lost tn the flood. In many Idaho towns fruit and shade trees were ruined. The damage in Adams and Franklin counties will amount to many thousands of dollars, whole fields of standing- grain being beaten to the ground and threshed out by the hall.

It ha been found that for approximately half tha time lh mean wind velocity I 10 mile an hour, and for about one-third of the time it miles. . In the winter the av erage are higher. The great difficulty arises from the calm period, which may last three, days or even a week: but It has been shown that economical lighting plants can be based upon wind power by providing gasoline motor to take up the work whenever the wind faUs. Paper Garment. For along time Inventor and manu facturers have been endeavoring to utilize paper for the manufacture of garment. Now a Saxony concern ha apparently achieved a considerable suc cess In this endeavor.

Innumerable attempts have been made to provide a satisfactory fastener which could be substituted for the button and buttonhole so long used for fastening all manner of garments.

Does Vot Condemn Hot1. The other contribution tn the dismiss sion is made by Timothy Healy, M.

When the parliamentary agitation b gan he said every farmer ln Ireland! was at tne mercy of his landlord, ana, now he was Independent. Tha Irish farm laborer lived in hovel ln whlcn one would be ashamed today to house a dog, while now they are decently and comfortably housed. The Irish party in parliament had gained for Ireland control of It local government author ltie and It duty now was to stay there until It got all that was wanted,, and then to get out aa quickly as pos- si oie. Mr. ueaiy saia mat tn mors tne Sinn Fein movement grew tha better ' he would be pleased, for he considered anything good that was hostile to Eng land. He asked th Sinn Felner to take the same view and not to attack -the parliamentary party, which waa, just a hostile to England as they were,, but was working on different lines. A real revival Tn Irish trade, although. not a very large one, la shown by the) . report on the country's exports and lra-j porta Just Issued by the aepartment of . agriculture. The total Import for 1801 ' amounted to $275,461,716, being an in- , crease of $8,92.06S over 1904, while tha export were $266,658,015, an increase of $10,696,875 over the previous year. An analyala of the report 1 important aa showing where Ireland is Stronc and weak Industrially. Tbe great bulk of the trade is dona with England, of course, and there ara at p res am t no figures to show accurately wnat proportion or tn gooas anippea from Ireland to England ar reshlpped abroad and what proportion of tha goods are of foreign origin. It ia roughly estimated that about on fifth of the exDorts ar reshlDDed from Eng land, and that about one third of tha Imports have come to England front foreign countries or th coloniea The Imports into England of Irish livestock, sheet), cattle. Digs and horses, were larger than those from all other coun- ' tries combined. Great Britain took $7, 864,876 worth of Irish horses, against only $1,770,150 worth from all Other countries: $44,641,265 worth of Irlah' cattle, against $48,329,030 from other sources; $6,281,185 worth of , Irish, sheeD. against $1,393,765 from other countries, and $6,360,455 worth of Irish: swine, against only $1,600 wortb oc pigs from other countries. These fig ures show that Ireland is holding her own as a stock-breeding country, but, when we come to the question of manu factured Dfoducts Ireland is sadly be hind ln the race. She only sent $48,710' worth of pork to England, compared with $7,974,880 worth which England' received from other countries, snd onlyj a little over $8,000,000 worth of bacon," while other countries sent mora than, les. noo.ooo worth. All told. Ireland onlv" exported about $18,000,000 worth Of pi products, while Denmark alone sent t' England more than $20,000,000 worth. Denmark sent $45,000,000 worth Of but-, ter to England, compared with $16,000,- .nit .1- Y , .1 . V... years ago Ireland regularly exported,. $20,000,000 worth of butter, whils Den mark's total export of butter was not ? $2,500,000 a year. There ara. a multi tude of points suggested by this rav port One Is tempted to ask why should. Ireland pay $1,200,000 for butter; why should she Import boots and shoes to , the value of $8,930,000; also matches,, beef, bacon, soap and drapery ln larg quantities T While she Imports leather costing $2,254,350, she exports hidea and., skins representing $2,636,875. n Now that th revolt in the royal Irish) constabulary has been crushed, tha au thorities are proceeding with their ad customed stupidity to increase th dls-i content of the men. No one not even,1 the sufferers themselves can complalrv of the drastic punishment of th leader, of the revolt, but the whole force la angry over tho transfer of "mora than' 600 men from Belfast to all parts of Ireland. These men are, many of them, ., married and hava families, and they will have to move their families at their' own expense. They will have to dis turb the education of their children and in many cases families will have to ba . separated. None of the men wera vr ' allowed to know ln advance where they were being sent. They were ordered la report in marching; order at th rail way station at a certain hour. Thera they were banded a ticket for soma re- -mot station, where perhaps they wera given another ticket to their final des- tlnatjon. Now, it appear to be tha in tention of the authorities to deal sven) mora harshly with tha force. . . f,.- . Blsxnissals Expeto.
