still full, but in some sections strife and con-
tention about water had begun, and had
the season continued dry there would doubt
less have been much difficulty. 1t is to be
regretted that some farmers are so short
sighted that they do not make preparations
to command an abundance Of water in the
dryest seasons, that their crops may not be
endangered and difficulties with their neigh
bors avoided. But thanks to the copious
rains any further distress from this source is
avoided for this summer. A rainy June
will put crops so far ahead that but little
further watering will be necessary. Not
only will grain crops be brought out rapid
ly, but the meadows will also be brought
through without irrigation.
The stock men rejoice in common with
the farmers, as the rains will bring forth the
bunch grass which has heretofore been very
backward Last year the June rains were
light, and grass grew very slowly and did
not attain the usual height. but a good grass
crop is now assured, and the prospects are
more than average for a good grain crop
also. The people now have cause to rejoice
that season which has been so backward
and discouraging to all branches of hus-
bandry should put on SO favorable an aspect.

rests his claims chiefly upon the
ground that he was counted out by
fraud. This question of fraud will
be exceedingly awkward for them to

spicious prominence the extraordin-
airy cipher frauds, which will cling TO
Tilden like the shirt of Nessus; it
