OKLAHOMA CITY. 



A Destructive Hail Storm. 



In the afternoon of May 8 the most 

 terrific hail storm this city has ever 

 known caused the florists here much loss. 

 Angel 's Greenhouses had about 1,000 feet 

 of glass broken. Carter & Hagemann, 

 who had about a third of their glass 

 broken out about two weeks ago by hail, 

 lost the balance of it in this second 

 storm. 



Of the 14,000 feet belonging to the 

 Stiles Co., there are not a dozen unbroken 

 panes. The foreman states that by actual 

 measurement and weight, the majority 

 of hailstones were three inches in diam- 

 '"ter and weighed seven ounces each, 

 •Many pots in the houses were broken and, 



between the falling glass and continued 

 hail, much damage resulted. For sum- 

 mer flowers the firm has erected over a 

 part of the field a flat roof of laths, 

 nailed on rafters supported by 8-foot 

 posts, set 8x10 feet. It is estimated that 

 the hail broke about 3,000 laths. 



Fortunately, the Stiles Co. carried 

 extra insurance on its total area of glass, 

 and Carter & Hagemann had full insur- 

 ance, while both firms condole with Mr. 

 Angel, who had not insured. G. S. 



BRACONDALE, ONT. 



Miller Bros, have been hard at work 

 saving what they could of their estab- 

 lishment, wrecked by the boiler explosion 

 in April. It was found that the damage 

 was not as great as was first thought. 

 Immediately after the explosion it ap- 



peared that the entire establishment was 

 a wreck and that nothing could be done 

 other than clear the ground and rebuild 

 The boiler plant was destroyed, but later 

 inspection proved that a good many of 

 the houses had suffered no great amount 

 of injury beyond the breaking of the 

 glass. Five of the houses were quickly 

 reglazed and a large force of men is 

 now at work repairing the others. The 

 loss, so far as spring crops are concerned 

 was practically total and most of the 

 young stock also was destroyed, but the 

 firm is full of pluck ana anticipates being 

 in shape to do business again in the fall. 



It gives me pleasure to renew my sub- 

 scription, as I owe my success in large 

 part to the Keview.— F. W. Beoomj.
