Mrs T J Ellis was in town Mon-
day from the family home one and
three-fourths miles northeast of
Gracemont and advanced the family
subscription to The Tribune another
year She related to us the informa-
tion that two weeks ago last Sunday
night their farm was overtaken by a
beavy wind and rain supplemented
with hail Half the shed roof of their
new barn which had not been com-
pleted a week was blown off and was
eycloned over their orchard a distance
of several hundred feet without
touching a tree The henhouse was
rammed through with a scantling and
a part of the roof carried away The
heavy hail shelled off a large part of
the plums and peaches but Mrs Ellis
thought that this would not prove of
material damage as the trees were
overloaded From twenty to twenty-
five acres of corn that was well out
of the ground was covered by the flood
of mud and if any corn is grown there
it will be from new seed Mrs IHlia
with some apparent feeling of morti
fication 444 that th building that
war thus damaged war th only ana
on th farm it which no insurance
waa carried at that tim
Walter MrKa is again in evidenc

of obtaining liv plants for transplan-
tation and should be appreciated
There ia on thing suret This com-
munity will never have an extensive
hothou until sign of it being pat-
ronised present themselves
This morning April 17 a heavy de-
posit of frost was observable on th
hout roofs but as far as w ar en-
abled to Judge no damage was don
to vegetation even the most tender
The outlook for a full fruit crop could
hardly be better It seems unreason-
able to fear frost later than this with
any punch to It
