Wine was over to Redwood county
the first of the week to interview
the county commissioners about the
bridge south Of town. He will also
look up their records to ascertain
| whether our commissioners gave
the right cause when asked to show
reason for not proceeding with the
building of the bridge. Mr. Wine
has the law on his side and he is
sure to win in the action to compel
the commissioners to build the
bridge.
The Supreme Court failed to rem
der decision in the Renville coun-
ty seat contest case last week, but
this did not prevent Olivia from
stealing a march on Bird Island by
publicly giving notice of Olivia's
intention to circulate another petit
tion asking that the county seat be
moved from Beaver Falls to Olivia.
The Oliviaites are proceeding on
the theory that no matter which
way the case is decided a new petit
ton will have to be circulated be-
fore an election can be held. The
action will put Olivia about a week
ahead of Bird Island.
The climate and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau for the week
ending July 30, is as follows: Light
rains fell in southern counties on the
23d; north of the Minnesota valley
on the 9th, and in the extreme
southeast on the 18th. There were
heavy local rains in Becker aud
Hubbard counties on the 9th.
Severe hail storms occurred on the
9th in Polk, parts of Norman, east
ern Clay, and western Becker coun-
ties, which caused a great deal of
damage to standing grain. There
have been no excessively high tenn
peratures during the week. High
winds on the 9th shelled some ripe
grain. On the whole, the week has
been very favorable for work in the
harvest fields mall parts of the state.
Much of the spring wheat is in shock
in southern counties, and harvest is
begun in the extreme north. Bar
ley is ripe and its cutting in central
and southern portions is further adj
vanced than is the wheat harvest;
much of the barley is in stack. The
oat crop is generally poor; large ar
cas- of oats have been cut for hay,
and good deal has been harvested,
but as the stools seem to be heading
we'll, many farmers are waiting for
them to ripen before cutting the crop.
Early flax is ripening, and little
has been cut. The straw of all
grains is very short, and thin on the
ground north of the Minnesota val
LEY, and many headers are used to
cut the wheat instead Of binders,
