masters Get Increases In
Their Salaries.


The past week has been very favor.
able one for crops of all kinds and
they have made rapid progress. Show
ers Of rain fell at widely separated
points, but were not needed, as the
rains Of the previous week had al
ready saturated the soil, especially in
the Red river valley, some parts of
which report that damage has been
done grain by the fields being flooded.
Light hail storms are reported from
several places. but no damage was
done. Wheat Is all up; in some places
already covers the ground, and is
making a very rapid growth. Oats,
rye and barley are also doing we'll. but
are not SO far advanced, as rule, as
the wheat. Flax seeding. which was
interrupted by the rains of the pre-.
vtous week, has been resumed and q
good part Of the crop Is now in; that
sown early is up and looks very we'll;
that sown late Is coming up fast. Corn
Is about all planted and most Of it Is
up, but is not making a rapid growth
as the weather has been rather too
cool for It. In some sections part Of
1t has rotted and will have to be re-
planted. Grass has made a decided
advance since the rains and is high
enough to furnish good pasture on the
ranges, while meadows are in excel.
lent condition and promise large crop
of hay.
