On April 29th last the Oregonian
published a special industrial edition
devoted exclusively to the exploitation
of Oregon. It probably contained more
special and miscellaneous information
about Oregon than any one publication
that has ever been issued. It Is
peculiarly useful and valuable to the
homeseeker, because it gives the latest
and most reliable information about so
many different subjects that the home
seeker is naturally interested in. Al
most every department of industry is
specialized, and both descriptive and
statistical information of a highly
valuable character is given exclusively
and in entertaining form.
Residents of Oregon who know its
advantages as compared with the con
gested and depleted East, and who still
have friends back there whom thev
would like to se9 here enjoying the good
things of this favored state, can aid in a
splendid work now without cost and

friend would be interested in know

Don't torget that commencing
September 1st and "continuing daily for

almost every railroad station in the East
to all points in Oregon and the North

are the cheapest general long distance

to reach Oregon from any part of the
United States at bnt a trifle more than

of the East is made to know before-hand

BIG HAIL
STORM
Considerable Damage
Umatilla County.
in
morrow County Is Visited Only
with a Light Shower an
no Damage,
Pendleton, Ore., Aug. 24.
Probaby the haideBt hail storm
that ever occurred in Oregon and
also a cloudburst visited two
different sections of Umatilla
county almost simultaneously
this afternoon, causing many
thousands of dollars' damace.
Hundreds of acres of the finest
wheatwas beaten into the ground
by the hail until it is impossible
to tell what part of the field has
been threshed and which has not.
while the cloudburst washed away
bridges, chicken-houses, woodsheds,
farm machinery, chickens, pigs,
at least on cow, and destroyed
many acres of alfalfa hay.
The hail storm truck the wheat
belt at the Umatilla River near
Torn Hollow, about 15 miles east
of Pendleton, and swept northward
across the county between Athena
and Weston for a distance of ten
miles or more. The path of the
storm was only about three-quarters
of a mile wide, but the entire strip
of country was covered with hail
to a depth of from three to four
inches, and completely devastated.
Some of the hailstones were two
inches long and the orchards that
lay in the path of the storm were
stripped of their fruit and leaves.
Coming on suddenly the hail
caught the harvest crews in fields,
and there was not time to unhitch
the teams from the combines and
headers. Two disastrous runaways
resulted, but no loss of life has so
far been reported.
Though the damage done was so
oomplete and extensive the hail all
fell in about 10 minutes of time.
This was followed by a terrific
downpour of rain and dry gulches
were turned into raging torrents

The mammoth electric sign just
erected by the Oliver Chilled Plow
Works at South Bend, Indiana, is one
of the modern wonders of the world,
being the largest of its kind, and is
attracting widespread attention. "While
it is impossible to do full justice to
this triumph of. the electric art, the
illustration at the heart of this article is
a very good effort in that direction.
This si;n is placed at the top of the
plow company's new five-story ware
house and is visible far out into the
surrounding couutry. It extends the
entire leDpth of the building, a dis
tance of 250 feet. The trademark por
tion of the sign is a very prominent
feature, the highest point of the letters
in same beinir at the center, 42 feet
above tbe base line and iLe plow shown,
measuring 50 feet in length.
The letters in the words "Oliver"
and "Works" are each IS feet high by
14 feet wide.
A total of 3,200 lamps is required to
properly illuminate this majestic sign
and the light sent out casts its proac
tive rays over the entire quitter of the
city in the neighborhood of trie Oliver
plant.
in the space of a few n.iautgi
Farms were flooded and at lensfc
one family was compelled te
abandon, its home and flee to tbe
hills.
Tbe dam forming the reservoir
for the Athena waterworks went
out, and the town is threatened
with a water famine. While tba
damage amounts well up into tbe
thousands it is impossible to form
anything near like an accurate
estimatte. Representative Earreifr,
telephoning from Athena tonight,
says it is undoubtedly the worst
storm of its kind in the history of
the county.
The cloudburst occurred on the
head of West Birch creek several
miles south of Pilot Rock and tbe
little valley of that stream wad
completely flooded. The water
run through the dwellings, washed
awav all small outhouses and
drowned all the chickens, but tbo
greatest damage was to the present
crop of alfalfa. The heaviest losers
are probably the J. E. Smith Live
stock Company and the Cunning
ham & Livestock Company, the
latter having between 50 and 100
acres of alfalfa ruined. The flood
reached Pilot Eock, but beyond
the washing out of a county bridga
and a footbridge, no damage was
done at that point. Several bridges
further up the stream were washed
away.
Bain fell in this city, and, as far
as can be learned, throughout tbe
county, nearly all the aftemooo,
bringing all harvesting operations
to a standstill and greatly damag
ing the standing wheat. It . i.
thought that only little more than
half the crop has been harvested.
Fortunately for the Athena farmers,
whose ranches were in the path of
the haisltorm, they1 had nearly
finished threshing, but up along
the river, where it first started
and where it was the worst, the
work of harvesting has just begun.
In some manner a fire got start
ed in the bunch grass on Crocket
Kirk's place Monday evening. Tbe
fire was checked before doing a
great amount of damage. Only a
small amount of winter range was
destroyed.
Such a light would ordinarily be con
sidered very expensive and a Iuxorr,
but in this cape tbe cost is minimized
by reason cf the electricity used beinj
generated at the power plant owdpiI
and operated by the Oliver, loi'atl
something more than a mile distant on
the banks of the St. Joseph Kiver and
designed primarily to furnish power
for their great factory.
An illumination of this exten,':v
chaiarter naturally consumes poitf,
and lu-'t of the o'20 1 orsepower jjecer
ated by a single one of the 12 tribuna
wheels at their electric power station
is required to keep this "Electric Mar
vel" britzhtly burning, making its liufct
visible through the darkness for many
miles, and so plain that the nami
"Oliver Works" and the immense trade
mark can be clear y distinguished an, I
read for a distance of several miles.
Located as this sign is very oeur rr
the main lines of the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern" and Gran J TinnW
Kailways travelers will have a Ei
opportunity to see for themselves thr
"Tillarof fire by night," which is t
once a triumph of invention and s t
eoce and a tribute to the enterprise i
its projectors and owners.
