Council Bluffs, Aug 19.-The pros
pect OF the Harrison Pottawattamie
county drainage bitches being con-
structed this year, owing to pending
and contemplated litigation, are seem
ingly somewhat slim.
One of the largest land holders In
Crescent township, through which the
proposed Boyer cutoff ditch will run,
has been in the city comforting with
Is attorneys with a view to bringing
IN action similar to that commenced
ley.
He stated that in his suit he would
be Joined by a number of interested
property owners along the route of the
proposed bitches. and that in the event
of the district court deciding against
them the case would be taken without
delay to the supreme court.
He stated also that sufficient money
was back of the opposition to put up
any bond that might be asked to secure
the two counties and those pushing the
construction of the drainage scheme
while the suit Is pending in the SUI
preme court.
The property owners in Crescent
township. who are opposed to the
proposition. state that they are SO be-
cause they realize that to carry out
the alleged improvement would prac-
tically mean confiscation of their
holdings. as the benefits derived would
not nearly compensate them for the
cost of the drainage bitches.

of this city that other property owners
in Harrison county are preparing to

GOOD YEAR FOR cREAMERIEs.
Wet Weather Has Made Good Pastur-
aue and Plenty of Milk.

Disc Moines, Ia, Aug. 1S.-The butter
making industry of Iowa has flourished
greatly this year. The reports which
are now coming to the state dairy
commissioner from the more than 500
creameries of the state indicate that
this has been an excellent year. The
creamery men have had good seasons
and the business has been generally
profitable. The season has been excel
lent for pastures and the cows have
given milk in abundance. A great ma
jority of the creamery managers have
already sent In their reports and the
others will be In within short time.
Much of the interest taken in cream
cries this year was due to the effective
work Of H. r. Wright last winter in
urging renewed interest in the matter
at scores OF meetings held in the state.
The effective work being done in edu-
eating buttermakers at the state COL
lege at Ames is also having good effect.
Prices have generally remained even
this year and that is a great incen-
tive to buttermaking in this state. The
oleomargarine trade appears not to
have cut into the butter business at
all In this part Of the country.

Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. l9.--Srop bulletin
for week ending Aug. IL. 1903: The week
has been unseasonably cool and cloudy
with excessive humidity. The amount of
rainfall was light except in portions of
the western and central districts. In Il
few localities some damage was caused
by wind and hail with excessive down
pours of rain.
Threshing and stacking were considera-
bly, retarded by damp weather. cloudiness
and fog. In some localities small grain
in shock has been somewhat damaged by
excessive moisture. In relation to the
corn the burden of all crop reports Is to
the effect that the weather has been too
continuously cool and cloudy for its nor
crop as whole has made some progress
but its generally belated condition and
the continuance of cold nights and cloudy
days give just cause for anxiety as to the
final output. There is certainly imminent
need of warmer weather to develop nor,
mally the early planted. and to produce
any thing of value in the late planted
fields. With good old-time hot days and
nights for the balance of the season q
Very liberal amount of sound corn may
yet be produced
A very large hay crop has been secured,
and the pastures and meduws are heavi-
ly burdened with forage. Reports are
generally more favorable as to late po-
tatoes. Early apples yield abundantly.

at one OF the foreign embassies at Con-

Enmer Rushdi Pasha, who is nom

seriously hampered in efforts to sup

the instructions he receives from, here

a movement is undertaken Il counter
order from the palace alters the whole
situation. The Turkish commisariat
department is in wretched condition.
The troops at Monastir for instance,
have not been served WIFI a ia lions oil

The most recent advices received here
from Monastir. forwarded Sunday
night, announced that fighting between
the insurgents and Turkish troops in
the vicinity of Krushevo continued,
and that many refugees from the
neighboring villages had congregated
at Monastir. Several villages inhab-

the insurgents.
