Judge Powers of the Yellow Medi-
cine county Judicial district, has de-
cided the famous "Y" case at Hapley
Falls by issuing a mandamus COM
polling the railroad companies to put
in the "Y" at that place. The case
has been on for two years, the people
around Hanley asking that the Great
Northern and the St. Louis be con-
nected with the "Y', whereby trans
portation to certain points would be
cheaper. The companies refused the
request, and then application was
made to the railroad commissioners
for an order enforcing the action. The
commissioners issued the order and,
the companies appealed to the district
court of Yellow Medicine county with
the above result. It is probable that
the railroad companies will carry the.
case into the United States Supreme
Court before they bow to the request
of the people. 1t will require two
years to carry it there and they will
have the benefit of many long hauls
in the meantime.
The weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending Aug. 2, follows: The
temperature was slightly above the
normal all the week, except the first
day or two. Showers have fallen dur
ing the middle of the week, irregular
ly distributed as to amount and local
ity, the smallest amounts seeming to
be in the northern half, and the larg-
est amounts in the southwest. The
cool weather early in the week, follow
ing the heavy rains, prevented scald-
ing of immature grain, while the
warmer weather since, has fastened
the ripening of wheat and oats. On
light lands some spring wheat has
been cut in southern portions, and
cutting will begin in more northern
portions on the I'd; harvest probably
becoming general on the 9Th; but on
the heavier clay soils and on low lands
the cutting will be considerably later.
Where not affected by water wheat is
fine, but on less favored soils reports
are varied both as to yied and quality
of grain, both of which have suffered.
Fears Of rust, Hessian fly and uneven
ripening due to the frosts in May and
June, are expressed at scattered points.
Oats and barley are being cut in south
ern and middle sections with the crops
reported fair to good. The rains have
affected the color of barley. Potatoes
are doing we'll, except where too wet.
Haying is progressing on uplands,
though generally delayed by showers.
The meadows continue too wet to cut.
Corn has grown we'll and has reached
the tassel stage in the best fields, but
much will make nothing but fodder.
Destructive hail storms have visited
portions of the southwestern counties,
