that that part of the ground owned

Unfortunately used by Professionals

the Catholic ground will be given the
Catholics in lieu thereof. Outside Of
this unfortunate interference, the
title to the land is now clear and only
waits final action on the part of the
city. We may say that an error In
fixing corners was particularly the
trouble, though the want Of definite
action on the part of the people of the
town WAS also almost disgraceful.

Weather and Crops.


The weather this week has been
more or less showery, but has given
the farmers some opportunity to seed.
In some localities, particularly in the
western part of the county, a consider
able part Of the wheat is in, while in
some other sections there is almost
nothing sown as.yet. Yesterday set
in for another steady rain, and the
outlook was not at all pleasant. The
local branches of the Red river have
been very high all the week and in
many cases bridges have been i'm
passible. The approaches to Geroux
bridge are said to be washed away and
the water at the Corbet bridge is close
up to the timbers. 1t is guyed by
ropes and man is stationed there to
prevent the floating debris from form
ing jam. A:few days Of dry weather
would bring these rivers down to the
safety point. The Red river remains
at about the same volume. What lit
tie wheat that has been seeded is
looking finely. The crop situation,
however is very serious and will GER
tainly result in large shortage of
acreage s0wn.
