The following account of damage
done by last weeks storm we take
from the Pope County Press:
Reports Of damage by the storm, as
far as we have heard are as follows: A
kind of whirlwind took up three bug
gies and an out house adjoining the
residence of Ole Rigg, Jr, in this vii
lage, and piled them in a promiscuous
heap, making total wreck Of the out
house, and damaging the buggies con-
siderably. In White Bear Lake town
ship the fields Of H. B. Poler. M. n
Ellie, and Anton Higginson, comprising
lO4, AZ, and 10 acres respectively, Of
small grain, were almost enterely
destroyed. also field near by belong
ing to Petor Wollan. The grain on
several others farms III the same town
was also considerably destroyed. The
windows on the west side Of several
houses in that township were also brok-
en-. Reports from Barnes Indicate
that about one-sixth of the wheat fields
in that section were destroyd by the
hail. There were three hail storms
there: the first one from the northwest,
the second straight down, and the third
from the south. Tee hailstones were
abut the size Of hazel nuts, aud came
thick and fast. Hay was scattered
about promiscuously.

The Crops.

The condition of the crops now seems
to be the absorbing topic. From personal
observation and from interviews with
farmers from various parts of the county,
we judge that prospects are good for more
than an average crop. Oats are univer.
sally good. Barley is now being harvested
and is simply up to the average. Corn is
very backward and many fields of ii will
be worthless even with the most favorable
weather. Potatoes and the various kinds
of garden vegetables promise well.
Wheat on the whole looks well. Reports
from the northern and eastern parts of the
county indicate more than an average
crop while some of the reports from the
southern portions of the county are dis
couraging. The Hessian fly. rust and the
excessively wet weather have been impor-
tant factors in some instances. For some
poor fields of grain the farmers alone are
to blame. The poor grain is simply the
natural result of late or poor blowing,
poor seed or inferior cultivation in the
spring. On the other hand the results
of early aud caref III blowing, good seed,
and thorough working of the ground are
plainly visible, and beautiful fields of
heavy grain stand to reward the energetic
and thrifty farmer.
As we have said before crops, as o
whole, promise well. With continue
ton of favorable weather, Stevens county
will soon be able to rejoice over bounti-
full harvest.

Herman is coming to the front and
her citizens arc establishing reputa-
ton for enterprise which is truly onvi-
able. Of the new school house being
built there the Herald says: s'The
building is being erected by Contractor
East, Of Van Dalia. Michigan, and is
S2x6O and two full stories high. 1t is
divided into four rooms and will ac-
commodate $50 pupils under four
teachers. This will be at once an orna-
ment and an honor to the village. 1t
will be organized into an independent
district and frst-class professor will
be employed as principal with as many
subordinate teachers as the necessities
of the case may require. There is
every promise that the school will be
tirst-class in every particular Upon
the church it comments as follows: ''As
a piece of architecture there is not
church edifice this side of Minneapolis
that will compare with the M. E.
Church now in course of construction
in Herman under the supervision Of
Contractor East.
1t is to cost when completed and
furnished about 81, 500 and will fur
nish an auditorium 40x50 feet with
class rooms on two sides, and the front
lOx3O feet each, all shut off by folding
doors. The tower will be about 70
feet high and the raised ceiling will be
% feet in the ceuter from the floor.
Every side of the building will look like
a front, and with its six or eight gables
it will present an appearance of pic
turesque and imposing beauty. This
is another evidence of the grit and pluck
of the people of Herman and our wide
awake minister, Rev. w. j. Hunter. "
Better evidences of the energy of the
people of Herman and of success for
that place in the future could not be
given than the two building now being
built.
