Complaints ere beginning to be made that
the wheat crop is being damaged by chinch
bugs and rust. The former will not cause
much damage, grain being generally too tar
advanced, but the latter, if the hot and damp
weather continues for the next week, may
materially reduce the yield.
The match game of baseball played at
Juneau on Saturday between the Fox Lake

the former, by score of Is to 5. Consid-

Opening of the Commercial Hotel.


The new Commercial Hotel, corner of lst
and Washington streets, erected on the site
of the old Watertown House. will be form
ally opened to the public Friday evening,
July goth. All the friends of the CONNER
cial and its proprietor, Mr.. A. F. Mannegold,
are cordially invited to attend. The house
will be Illuminated and properly decorated
in honor of the event. The Commercial is
such a hotel as WATERFOWL need not be
ashamed of aad is one of the substantial
Improvements to our city the present season.
Its apartments are large and commodious,
finely ventilated and well furnished. The
water supply to the Commercial comes from
a splendid artesian fountain situated in the
center of the building, the water finding it's
way to all portions of the house by means
of hydraulic ram. With good tables and
accommodations there is every reason to
expect that the Commercial will at once
become favorite place OF resort for the
travelling public, and soon establish for
itself frst-class reputation Our citizens
generally join with US in wishing the Com
mercial that success which the enterprising
spirit displayed in its erection SO amply
deserves

The Crops.

The prospect at present is excellent for
bountifuI crop Of all kinds of grain. Winter
wheat and rye are now being cut and are
yielding finely. Spring wheat is looking
splenddly, and another week of favorable
weather will put it out of all danger of
rust. Some few pieces are struck with
straw rust, but it is the opinion that but
little injury TO the head will be inflicted.
In some fields chntz bugs are at work, but
their ravages are neither wide-sp read nor
serious. Oats are coming along finely, and
will be a heavy crop, Barley is yielding
fully up to the average. Under the influ-
ence Of the recent hot weather corn has
made rapid strides, and now stands as high
as it usually does at this season, showing a
good healthy color and giving promise of
an abundant crop, should the absence of
frosts allow it to ripen. Potatoes are large,
with "good many in hill" Ia the way
of fruit there will be but little Very few
apples visible, scarcely any cheri les. cur
rants not very numerous, but fair amount
of raspberres. -..
