Grauts Pass bning on the edge of the storm, r scaped ' its force. The strength of the elements was mani fested mainly farther eoath and east, and the storm center seems to have been along the range of mountains that separates the Applegate from the Illinois river tributaries. In the Ap plegate aud Deer creek valleys, t:ie raiu ponred in torrents. The new bain of J. W. Harmon near Solum, a Portland last 1 structure eOxm) feet ana one or tne best barns ii the country, built ac cording to the late ideas and with all the modern conveniences, was struck by lightning and burned, with some 60 tons of bay. The loss was about 1200 witli no iusurauce. Posttunstor C. E. Harmon of this city, white re turning from a visit to the Harmon place on Deer creek, encouutered a lively hail storm at Selnia. The stones rattled down as big as marbles, the team became frantic, bat by good igiueeriug, they were got under shelter in R. C. Churchill's barn be fore tne matter became serious. On the Hays bill there seems to have beeu a small water spout or loud burst. The water poured dowu the hill iu torrents, badly sluicing and gullying oat the road, which prior to the storm was in almost per fect condition. Severul trees were fired by the lectric spark in sight of Grants Pass, on the hills south of town. It is re ported that a gatepost at the Hatha way place on the Murphy road, was also struck by lightning. When you buy a Camera of me I teach you how to take picture, also In stroctions iu development and printing free. The tli under storm of Sunday car ed with it hail showers iu some localities. It has been reported here that the hop fields of tho Applegate suffered severely from this cause. However, J. A. Rehkopf, whose yard ha'l beeu rumored to have sustained the most serious damage, says that, in is opinion, the storm will ii crease rather tlian diminish the yield of hops. The hail did knock some hops from the vines but aid not knock down any of the vinos and the ground received such a thorough soaking that e increase in yitld will bo fully double the damage done.

She'll understand that "gen uine goodness" of a Schloss Ai t-Tailored Suit, better, pet haps, than you. How ever, you ure sure of good treatment here, wether you bring her or uot. j J J The difference iu the cost of a Schloss made Suit aud that made by the "uieichatit tailor" will be enough to open her eyes to the possibilities for motley saving. Just think, we sell a suit like either of those shown in pictuie at so little a price as $12.50 The "merchant tailor" would want to charge $2$ for a suit not so good in fit, style or quality. Here is a clear sav ing of $12 50, which your wife can find good use for in adding to ber own ward robe. No wonder she is bent on break ing you ol the "merchant tailor" habit.

Provolt and bad to stop on business, aud drop ping the lines, he started to here the men were at work on the big Laurel bill ditcb, aud when he was some distance away, the team became frightened aud started to run, before anyone could reach them. They were hitched to mower that Mr. Paine bad just purchased, aud the damages will exceed !!. Besides being hi tho district which enjoys the most perfect olimato of the Pacific coast, Grants Pass ha the further advantage of having tho most lelightful location in point of beauty and comfort of any town iu Houthreu Oregon, Ita lituntion iu the llttlo valley uivlliu it the benefit of every hreezo that sweeps over from the' coast to tcmpci tho summer nuur, while, the turroutiding hills aro near iiuiigh to break the foroo of the more violent winds, which disturb tho of towns situated on level tracts of larger area. I ICniriiieer O. II. Sampson of this city has for a number of yiars past siieiit a considerable portion of his timu lit Gleiidalu, being there day after day on his run. Whilo there he has been somewhat uettled at the repeated allusion to the hot weather with which they credited Grants Pass. Mr. Hampsou was convinced that Grants Puss wustlier was no hot ter than that of Glendule. Being in both places every day, he rather thought tho balnaco was on tho other side, but ill this vie" ho was laughed to scorn by the residents ot Glen dale. To settle the matter conclu sively lie procured thu records of the voluntary weather observers of the two places for 21 days In June, Irom the 101 h to tho With inclusive. The n suit is somewhat surprising. The reenrds show a mean minimum tem perature of Hi in Grants Pass; iu (ileiid.ile, ill). 4. On two days only the temperature in Grants Pa is went to 100. In Glciiiliiln it reached that point 011 II days (if tho 21 for whli'h the compariseu is made. Gritnti Pass reenidri tho highest notch ; 10U as iig.iiust Glcuihilc's 102. Glendale records a lower mean minimum tem perature than Grants Pass and has a greater daily range. 4Ihis Is nnturul, as tho town is situated iu a very nar row valley with high mountains on lintli sidis and tho temperature Is therefore mum susceptible to the iiuick heating mil cooling of the arlh's surface. So Mr. HumpKon thinks It Is time fur Gleiidahi folks lo revise their weather Ideas iu regard to Grunts Pus.
