The Redwood delegates to the
State convention all returned home
last Wednesday, completely salts
fed with the makeup of the ticket
by the Republican State convention.
The delegation voted solidly for the
Hon. J. +. Jacobson for State audi

was the second choice Of the delega-
ton, and would have gone to Mr..
1verson whenever released by Mr..
Jacobson. On clerk of Supreme

There are two candidates for the
position OF Judge of the municipal
court to succeed the late Joseph
Chadderdon. S. L. Pierce OF the

candidate, and A. r. A Laudon is
the other. Mr.. Pierce was in St.
Paul last week bringing pressure
to bear upon the Governor for the
appointment. while Mr.. Laudou is
having petition circulated asking
for his appointment. The bar of
the city seems to be about evenly
divided, and at the time that this
side of the city goes to press there
is no telling which one of the candi-
dates will land the position. Mr.
Pierce states that if the position is
given him he will dissolve the part
nership existing between himself
and Mr.. Harriott.

The climate and crop bulletin of the
weather bureau for the week end
ing June 30, 1902 The week has
been a cool one, with the tempera-
lures on the morning of the 26th
approaching the point at which
frosts are possible. There have
been very light rains in the north
west and in the extreme southeast
on several days, and rains in the
southern half of the state on the
24th and the morning of the 25th
which were very heavy locally:
flooding low lands in Brown, Blue
Earth, LeSueur and Waseca coun-
ties. These rains were beneficial
in the southwest where rain has
been needed for about two weeks.
1t is said that in the Red River val
ley late sown grains are doing very
well, though many fields are very
weedy, but that some OF the early
wheat seems to need warmer wealth
er. In other parts Of the state
wheat, oats and barley are gener-
ally in splendid condition, though
in small areas on light land the
straw of wheat and oats is rather
short. In central, southern and
southwestern counties some rust is
reported in the wheat. Where the
April dust storms were mostsevere.
grain fields have very uneven
stand: some are very thin snd some
are thick. The early barley is gen
orally we'll in head. and wheat and
oats are coming into head Much of
the early fax is good and it is in
bloom. Q Rye is nearing ripeness
and it will be cut after July 4tb.
Corn is small, its growth being
slow because of the cool weather
The wild hay is heavy except IN
parts .of the southwest. Timothy
and clover are also heavy: consider
able clover is already cut. though
the weather has not been favorable
for curing hay Timothy is about
ready to cut. Potatoes are good in
most places. though a few of the
early crop in Anoka county are said
to be spindling Corn and potatoes
are we'll cultivated. Straw berries
are ripening slowly The frost on
the morning of the 2lst caused some
injury to fax, corn, potatoes and
gardens in the southwest, and in
north central portions.
