FOR THE WEEK ENDING JULY "a, 1899.

There have been no rains during
the week except very light showers
in the extreme north on the 21st and
22d, and elsewhere on the night of
the 23d. The temperatures have
been high, especially in the day time,
when the thermometer read 900, or
higher, on nearly every every day in
the week, in most parts Of the state.
There have been light breezes which
kept the grain moving, SO that there
has been neither stagnatiOn nor de-
structive hot winds. The dry, warm
weather has been very favorable for
the growth of corn and potatoes; for
finishing the harvest of hay, rye and
winter wheat in central and south
eastern countless; for the cutting Of
barley, for the rye harvest in the
southwest. Haying has advanced
to the northern counties, and furth-
er south and an excellent crop, as re-
CARDS both quality and quality, is
being secured. A few fields Of rye
have been threshed, with very good
yields. The winter wheat area is
smaller than when the crop was
seeded, owing to winter killing; the
yield of the present area promises
we'll: Early barley is ripening rapid
ly as far north as Norman county;
late barley is poor in the extreme
north, and the berry is somewhat
colored in the southeast. Some
pieces of rye and barley have been
threshed. with satisfactory yields.
Oats are ripening rapidly. Rust
and blight are reported g., in
spring wheat, principally in the
south and southeast, and fears are
expressed in many quarters that the
dry and hot weather is causing too
rapid ripening, but on the whole, it
appears that the crop is still in good
condition. A little injured spring
wheat. was cut in Carver
county on the 22nd, and on light soil
cutting will be more general by the
25th, and on heavy soils harvest will
not be general till several days LATER.
The first spring wheat cut last year
was on the 18th. In parts of the,

considerable areas of oats have been

IN FOR HIMSELF.
D. II. Freeman Sets Up His
Son Warren II. Freeman In
the LAUNDERING Business.

Rumor has been current for some
time past that D. H. Freeman, senior
member of the well-known logging
firm of Freeman & Gray, was about
to extend his numbering interests
and to also associate with himself
in business his eldest son, Warren
81. Freeman. Seen by a Journal.
Press representative today he was
asked to verify the report which he
did. He leaves early next week for
Cass Lake, accompanied by his fore
man, D. G. Conner where they will
look over the situation with view
to building a steamboat to be used
in logging operations. This is no
new field for Mr.. Freeman but he
will get out 100000 feet of logs
there..next winter for an Iowa lum-
bering firm. The timber is off the
reservation but it will be towed
across the lake through the reserva-
ton limits and driven down the
Mississippi.
In connection with this contract
Mr.. Freeman, who is a veteran and
successful lumberman, will, as
stated, set up his son in business
with the taking of this contract
w. H. Freeman will be in charge of
the work but just what the arrange
ment between father and son shall
be, is not vet fully decided upon.
Mr.. Freeman, Jr., has been asso-
ciated with his fathers firm, Free
man & Gray, for several years in
one capacity or another and has a
thorough knowledge of every detail
of the business which will undoubted-
" stand him in great good as he is
to begin business on his own &C
count. Upon further inquiry 1t is al
so learned that the firm of Freeman
& Gray has completed all the con-
tracts which as firm it had taken
for logging, excepting the driving of
ogs now in the river.
