are greatly excited, and prospecsors are
scourging the country for like finds.
Other discoveries have been made but
their extent have not been made known.

The weather Of .hs past week has
been JUS. what was needed to insure all
abundant harvest The rains have been
gsntle, warm and sufficient, and came
in the nick of time. All parts of the
northwest have been benefited by them
and in every section the people are
hopeful of large aud excellent crops.
Later reports confirm the estimates of
wheat acreage given earlier in the sea-
son. The increase over last year in the
whsle country is about Is per cent. and
the average yield per acre promises an
increase of absut three per cent. In a
very few locations the early warm wea-
ther Jid little damage, tut not sim
gle field suffered what could be serious
ly called blight. 1t is q fortunate
characteristic of this climate that spring
rains are followed ny cool growing
weather. Only once in the history of
the State has hot weather followed a
season Of showering. The wheat fields
are now past all the spring uncertain
ties, and we have the prospect of the
largest grain harvest ever garnered in
the State. The outlook for the fruit
harvest is equally good. Small fruits
are thrifty, as they always are and srch.
ards everywhere are bowed down with
their growing burdens. Cherries, ap.
plies, plums, prunes, in tact all the or
chard fruits, are in the best possible
cshdition, and the yield will be very
large. Vegetables promise we'll as usu

crop will be short, owing to an unusu

promises to be a banner year for tn.
