MILLS MUST CLOSE.
Impossible to Secure Logs Because
of Low Wafer.

The logging situation in Minneapolis is
assuming a serious phase, and in a few
days it can be expected that the mills
here viii close down. The Mississippi
and Rum River Boom company has about
100000 feet on hand here, and viii turn
them into the gaps of the local mills to-
day. The boom company is also center
ing every effort to bring down another
drive from near Little Falls, but this is
TO the low stage of water Even after
that has been brought down it can last
only a few days.
Nothing but a very heavy rain can do
any good. The boom company has logs
near the source of the river and IN TIE
small tributaries 10 the Mississippi, but
the water is so low in these that Moth
ing can be done
The mills below Minneapolis are also
suffering from want of logs. Not only
has the supply been small, but a great
number of logs sent over the falls have
caught on the way down. Several thou
sand logs have lodged at verious places
between the falls and Fort Smelling.

Rock County Needs Rain.

LUVERNE, MINI, May 22.-(Special)-
The growing crops in this section are
badly in need of rain. This has been an
unusually dry spring, and the damage to
crops and vegetables, If a rain is not
soon forthcoming, will be very heavy.
The wheat acreage in Rock and sur
rounding counties will be greatly re-
duced this season from that of last year.
Farmers in this vicinity are rapidly
abandoning the growing of accent and
5O-cent wheat and in its stead they are
giving their principal attention to stock
raising. Several thousand head OF cattle
have been shipped into Rock county by
individual farmers this spring for the
purpose of establishing herds The dairy
business is speedily taking place in the
front rank among the farmers of the
Northwest, and instead of marketing the
small grain at go-begging prices, as has
heretofore been the custom, 1t will be
converted into butter and beef FAT, which
at nearly all seasons of the year COM
mand good prices, permitting good
profit for the farmer.
