u" past week has practically ruined
the harvest all over the northern por-
lions of Queens county, while in the

III amy event be Il very bad harvest,
even worse than was generally nntici-
pated. In the Mountmclick district

listed there. \ contract for new
stone and steel bridge was since ell
tered into and the work of building
the abutmcnts had begun, but these
have now been seriously damaged"
