The business of the plant Is expected to be doubled by the addi tion of a poultry and produce depart ment ; the plant Itself will be substan- dally enlarged , and five salesmen will be put on the road to handle its goods. Messrs. A. B. McCue , of the produce department of Swift & Co. , nnd I. Powers , superintendent of the branch houses of Swift & Co. , In the western territory , have put additional capital Into the company and will give It the valuable addition of their long expe rience In the produce and packing business.

A number of citizens of Wheeler county are interested in the construc tion of an electric line from Elgin to Ericson , forming a connecting link be tween the Northwestern and the Bur lington. A meeting was held recently for the purp.ose of organization and a committee of three was appointed to find the cost of construction and maintenance of the proposed line.

Interesting reports from the storm district continue to come in , and in many portions It Is shown that It was one of the most violent since this country has been settled. One farm er living west of Norfolk states that the water falling In the short duration of the storm was far greater than any single rainstorm he had ever known in twenty years. Five Inches of wa ter was precipitated In an hour and the water rose to a height of four or five feet on his windmill tower. A tank partly filled with water was floated from Its position a distance of a mile. Where the hail took effect every growing thing has been cut down and the fields that a few days ago were waving a wealth of grain are now as level as a floor , every vest ige of the crops being pounded level with'the ground. It Is estimated by some that at least three thousand acres of crops have been ruined in northeastern Nebraska , meaning a loss of perhaps 60,000 bushels of grain. All fruit and foliage was cut from the trees and devastation is com plete In the worst stricken parts. It is considered that the corn may re cover , but at best it will be but a partial crop. Some of the small grain may likewise produce a partial crop , but at the present time the destruc tion seems complete. II anybody has any harness repair ing to do , let him bring It In before the Bprlng season begins. Paul Nerd THE SPECIAL ELECTION IN THE FIRST DISTRICT.
