Granite Tribune: Talk about the
discovery OF gold and the rush to
Rainy Lake, the Redwood gold find is
by far the richest and inexhaustible of
the two. Here we have, if reports are
true, $68 of free gold to the ton of
ore, and the supply is adequate for
the creates mining industry for years
to come. It would not surprise us to
see thousands flock there to carve
their fortunes out of the underlying
beds of richness in the near future.
Sleepy Eye Dispatch: The Brown
county senatorial delegation, num-
Der of them at least, have received let
tiers from Mr.. F. E. Kenney, Of Red
wood, asking them to support Judge
French, of Redwood Falls, for senat
or. In the event of Judge French Sc
curing the nomination he will receive
the support of all loyal Republicans
in Brown county and Mr.. Kenney
will, we understand, receive the nom
nation for Judge of Probate. Judge
French now holds that position in
Redwood county. See the point?
Editor Bowling, of the Renville
Star Farmer, sends us call for a nom
partisan judicial convention to be held
in this city on Sept. 26, which we
would gladly publish gratis would it
amount to anything. But Sec. "a of
the last election law says that an as
sembly or convention of delegates
within the meaning of the act, is an
organized assemblage of delegates
representing political party, which
at the last general election before the
holding of such a convention or as
sembly polled at least one per cent Of
the entire votes cast in the State, etcr
This shows that such q convention
would be illegal, and it would be i'm
possible to get the nominee on the
ticket, unless it could be done by Pc
titiOn.
In the weekly weather crop bulletin
for the week ending Aug. IA wheat in
this county is placed at from three to
ten bushels, which is probably below
the yield; oats is placed at from 10 to
IL bushels, and barley the same. Late
sown fax all over the State is very
poor and not much of it will be worth
cutting. The week was warmer than
usual with deficiency in rainfall, but
fairly good showers on Frid ay prac
tically broke the drouth in most plac-
es. The condition of the growing crops
and especially pasturage,is better than
it was week ago. The small grain
harvest is nearly finished and many
are through stacking. Threshing re-
suits show larger yields than we're an
ticipated owing to the generally short
straw and rather thin stand. The hay
crop is light and mostly secured. The
poorest was the tame hay and wild
upland; the marshes generally yield
ing fairly we'll. A few counties report
the amount secured to be insufficient
for home use. The short pasturage
has driven the farmers to unusual
methods of economy in feeding stock.
Some are cutting slough grasses, 9TH
ers are cutting and binding corn,while
some are using straw, the latter being
clean and bright, and if cut little
green makes a good substitute for
hay. In Renville and adjoining coun-
ties where the high winds shelled the
wheat SO badly, it is being plowed un
der in the hopes that, the season be-
ing early, its sprouting will make good
pasturage. Clover and timothy seed
will be scarce. The grass in the mead
ows, except clover, cut as late as last
June, has not resprouted and a small
second crop is all that is expected.
Buckwheat in Winona county is re-
ported in poor shape. The Duchess
apples are ripening in the southern
part of the State and fair yield will
be gathered. In Stearns county the
wild blackberries generally SO plenti-
full are almost failure this year. The
condition of corn and potatoes has i'm
proven somewhat but the rains came
too late for any very marked change
