of Palmer, Hill & Hupt for normal
school at Duluth to cost $75, 900, and
the committee was authorized to ad-

Not In the Market.

It is impossible to buy any prairie
chickens, quail, wild duck or other like
fowl in the markets this year, owing
to law passed by the last legislature
which places an embargo on the SELL
ing or having for sale such birds. The
law is most stringent in it's provisions
and is being rigidly enforced. 1t makes
no difference whether the game is
killed without the state or not, it's sale
is prohibited just the same; and the
only way that it can be legally pur-
chased is from the state game and fish
commission, after seizure. Even then
the birds may not be resold, but must
be used by the original purchaser.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.
Corn is generally ripe and much is
already in shock. Flax harvesti is near
ly finished, but very little has been
threshed yet. Flowing is going on
well, with the ground in good condi-

is too dry. Winter rye and winter
wheat are being seeded, and the early
sown is coming up nicely. Minnesota
grows very few winter apples. The
fall apple crop is small. tits said that
in the hail smitten region, where the
apple trees were denuded of their foli-
age, they are now covered with bios

are starting new growths; it is thought
