1491 GETS THE" COUCH
Sunday's electric storm was on of
ouosaal severity for this locality.
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.

Bring her with you, by all means,
let her help you select your Summer
clothes. 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.

An exciting runaway occurred last
Friday while M. Paine was 011 his
way to one f his friends' to cut bay.
He reached the farm of E. N. 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.
