WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

WEEK ENDING MONDAY, JUNE ~.
The week opened warm, but the
latter part was cool, with the night
temperatures low, especially on the
24th and 25th, with very light frOsts
reported in several cases, which did
no damage. The rainfall has been
abundant, coming as showers, inter-
spersed with sunshine, which have
visited nearly every part of the state
on two or more days, though it Is
reported that q portion OF Faribault
county is very dry. A very heavy
rain was general in the central and
western part Of the state yesterday
and last night.
The week has been favorable for
growth of all crops, though some
nights have been rather cool for rcOrn.
which is still backward. Wheat is
looking well, but there are fears that
ON very rich soil where there is u
rapid growth there may be some
rust, and the damage Of lodging will
be much increased by continued wet
weather. The early sown wheat is
heading, as is also barley and some
oats. Grass has improved, but most
reporters say that it is thin and
short. Some hay has already been
cit in small amounts. Potatoes are
making a good growth. In many
places the fields have been 80 wet
that the weeds in cultivated crops
have not been disturbed, so that
they are getting q strong hold. A
good crop of stra awberries is being
marketed. Early flax is In bloom in
the southern counties. Hail has
visited small areas In eastern and
southern counties, but the damage
is very slight or nothing.

The ASSESSMENT STANDS.
The County Wins the Thayer
" Tax Cases in the Su.
N preme Court.
Probably the Taxes will Re-
4 main Unpaid for a
n While.

II The case was the county against
|Thayer over the payment OF the taxes
On a large number OF West side lots
Thayer went into court to set aside
the assessment Of 1892. having re-
fused to pay the taxes Of 1898. The
district court decided In favor Of the
county, and the assessment was
sustained. The supreme court sus-
tains the district court in the follow
Ing decision:
4 l. The defendants owned lo.s In
the city OF Little Falls. Morrison
county. Minnesota, which were as
eessed and taxed upon a basis OF
equality and uniformity with other
real property in said city, the whole
thereof being assessed and taxed at
one-third of its cash valuation.
n Held, that as defendants were
charged with only their just propor-
ton of the taxes compared with
valuations generally on the same
assessment roll they had no right as
taxpayers to defend against proceed
ings to enforce payments of such
taxes as they were not injured and
therefore had no right to com plain
II ,. Conceding that Il municipalc cor
sporation cannot legally contract
with private parties to refund the
amount OF taxes which their proper
IT, is assessed and taxed. yet il all
property is assessed it's just proper.
ton such contract does not render
the taxation invalid even II the
agreement to refund is void.
y 3. Evidence considered and held
sufficient to sustain the findings Of
fact of the trial court.
Il The taxes on about 400 lots were
invOlved in this suit. and while the
suit was to cut down the taxes for
t.,nly =,onessyear. the total Alasanopnt
now standing -against the property
for four years taxes, interest aud
penalty is upwards OF $4,000. OF
course, the decision carrits no per-
sonal liability against the owners OF
the property, but the taxes will
simply stand against the land. 1t is
understood that Thayer will not
pay the taxes as long as values of
the property are as low as they are
now. All Of the West side property
was held high in 1892, and sales were
made at figures that seem fabulous
now. 1t would take but a few years
for the taxes Ton tine old assessments)
to equal the present selling value of
much of the plated land, and several
owners are letting the taxes become
delinquent, awaiting a time when it
may be II good Investment to pay
the charges against the lots.
