Jacksonville, Fla.—Estimates ot the loaa o f life trois the hurricane which •wept over a fifty-mile Stretch of the ¡Floridg east coast reaching from 'Pompano on the north to Miami on ithe south amounded to over 400 in revised figures from the storm-strick- <en area. Property valued at more than $50.- '000.000 was destroyed and the injured 'were estimated at 4,000. In the stricken belt were Miami, Miami Beach, Homestead, Little River, Lemon City, Hialeah, Miami Shores, Coral Gables, Ojus, Hallandale, Holly wood, Davie Danla, Fort Lauderdale. Proapecto, Floranado, Pompano and Deerfield. There was lesser damage north to Palm Beach, including Lakewood and Boynton, though it will roach into the hundreds of thousands in these towns. Business in these cities and towns does not exist. Banks and stores are closed. The great percentage of them, If not completely destroyed, are mere hulk. Thousands o' great plate glass windows were smashed like eggshells by the force of the hurricane. In many the stocks of goods were tossed about like bits of paper and lie in crumpled heaps, wet and soggy masses from the Tain that accompanied the wind. National guardsmen and hospital units were ordered into thé area by Governor Martin. The entire resources of the American Red Cross were plac ed at the disposal of the sufferers. Military control was ordered in the stricken city of Miami. At Miami, where the dead were estimated at 500, undertakers were unable to take care of bodies. Shipping along the coast was wiped out. Scores of tugs, freighters, yachts, pleasure boats and dredges were dashed against the docks at Miami and sunk or lifted by the tidal wave, which was driven -up Biscayne bay from the ocean, andkdeposited 50 yards or more inland up Biscayne boulevard, recently become one of the most sightly avenues of the world. STORM KILLS TWO IN IOWA esxxxi ,000 Lose Occurs In' Rain-Swept Central West. Chicago.—Storm clouds which pelt ed the central west with flood and disaster from Ohio to Nebraska, left a gaping wound in northwestern Iowa. A torrential blast of rain, hail, wind and lightning ravished a wide area, taking at least two lives, inundating 30,000 acres of crop laden farm lands, uprooting lines ot traffic and com munication and visiting its havoc on four counties north of Sioux City, near the Iowa-Nebraska line. Property damage was estimated above $2,000,000 with Hawarden, Le nars, Hull, Akron, Shelon and Cher okee counting the loss. Rain of al most unprecedented severity sent the Blcux river up 18 feet in 11 hours and flooded the valley of the Floyd river. The severest damage to city prop erty was at Hawarden. Ranks of G. A. R. Not Down Yet. Des Moines, la.—“The men of the Grand Army of the Republic have an other decade of victorious activity ahead of them.” This was the reply of Commander John B. Inman, Spring- field, 111., to reports that the national encampment of Civil War Veterans, which opens here Monday, would be the last. Inman denied there was any likelihood of the annual meetings be ing discontinued because of thinning C a rlo a d o f L iv e s to c k an d P o u ltr y a n d O th e r P ro d u cts L e a v e H e ro W ed n esd ay A carload of livestock, poultry, and other exhibits produced by boys’ and girls’ clubs of Hermiston wad shipped to Salem, leaving here Wednesday evening.

He won first in the bull- dogging contest at Pendleton and ac quired enough points in additional events to cinch his title for the year. Hugh Strickland won the steer rop ing contest at the Pendletan show-, and Shark Irwin won the world’s bucking contest. Clarence Porter won the northwest bucking contest. A crowd of 30,000 saw the Satur day show. Grandstand and bleachers were a solid mass of spectators who cheered the events of the big show enthusiastically. One of the most significant de velopments of the day from the point of view of lovers of the show was the announcement by a national official of the humane association that every precaution to safeguard animats and take care of them had been provided by the Round-Up. A special award by the nutional body was made to the Round-Up association to comme morate the findings made. A state ment to the same effect was also made by Mrs. Swar.ton, in charge of the Oregon association. In the buck ing contest some of the best riders in the world had to grab leather or hit the dust in defeat. The steers proved worthy adversaries of cow boys in the roping and bulldogging events. Races were fast during the after noon with competition between the various big strings very keen. the Week Collected for Locale and Our Readers. of F o a tn ro S a tu rd a y A tte n d a n c e ; H u m a n e O ffic ia l» P ra i»e B e tw e e n P e n d le to n a little soliciting of membi-rships was made in the Stanfield arn Echo dis tricts.
