that the rainfall of two days last week
aggregated few fractions under three
inches. Old settlers say they don't
ever remember so big fall in the
same period or that crop conditions
from that cause were ever so critical.

be long time before threshing rigs

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
,rEms OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
Opposition Developing Against Pro.
posed Extra Session to Relieve
Financial Strata Of State


Persons who have the interest of
the state asylum at Jamestown at
heart are protesting because the gov.
ernor last winter vetoed some of the
appropriations because Of alleged lack
of funds and now reports that the state
finances are in such good condition he
is warranted in calling a special ses-
sion of the legislature to appropriate
the funds accumulated to help out the
state institutions embarrassed by the
recent decision Of the supreme court.
The same protest has been made by
the friends Of the North Dakota Agri.
cultural college in Fargo. The gov
ernor slashed the appropriations badly
and so crippled the college that it is
greatly handicapped in carrying on
the work. The opposition to special
session is increasing and If one is
called it is now believed that it will be
against the wishes of a majority of
the voters of the state.
