WHEAT RIPENS SLOWLY
The Weather Bureaus Report on
Crops and Weather.

The Minnesota climate and crop service
bulletin, issued by the weather bureau,
summarizes conditions for the past week
as follows:
There were scattered showers in the northern
half Of the state on several days. and general
rains on the 14th which were light In northern
portions and heavy in the south. The 11th
18th and 18th were cool, the morning tempera-
and western points the 18th and 18th, and
40 degrees on the 18th.
In the southern half of the state, COOL damp
and cloudy weather much Of the week delayed
the ripening Of wheat and oats and consequently
their harvesting. Barley Is about all cut, and
some Of 1t is in stack, but good deal of the
wheat, oats and fax Is still standing. Corn,
potatoes and pastures improved by the
rains. 81.
In southern portions, general rains in the lat
ter part of the preceding week delayed work
in the grain fields on the 10th, but on the 18th,
18th and 18th stacking of wheat, oats and barley
progressed rapidly, and there was some threshing
of oats and barley from the shock, but these
grains are not dry enough to be in good condi
ton for storing. Considerable barley is discol-
ored. The fields in the southwest dried nicely
in the middle of the week, but the recent rains
have made them very soft again for the move
ment Of threshing machines. Flax is about the
only grain remaining uncut In the southern
counties. The oats in shock are being opened
to dry in many fields. Corn has grown to be q
good size, but the cool weather retards its ad-
vancement toward maturity, SO that there is
danger of it's being frosted unless frost holds of
until late in the season. The wet weather is
causing considerable potato rot Reports re-
garding the cloverseed seem to be contradictory.

ALL NIGHT LIGHTS
Would Cost the City Less Than
$4,000 More Than Pres
ent System.
Figures Have Been Prepared for
the Board Of Tax 4
Levy.

From figures prepared by Gas Inspector
w. H. Roberts forthe Commercial club
it will cost less than $50, 900 extra to have
the city streets lighted as they are in
modern and progressive cities. This is
based on the prevailing prices Of gas and
electric light, but as there is. no occasion
for increasing prices the figures may be
accepted as a fair guide on the difference
between the cost Of lighting according to
the village or moonlight" system and the
all-night system.
The streets of Minneapolis are lighted
by 967 electric arc lights, 5,400 gas lamps
and 2,10o gasoline lamps. The gas lamps
include those on Hennepin and Lyndale
avenues, which have heretofore been
maintained by the park board, but which
have recently been abandoned by that
body. The council must take over the
Two streets.
The electric lights cost the city $50
per year, but there are PIP electrics in
the down town districts which remain
lighted all night and every night and cost
the city $10S each per year To light the
remaining electrics according to the all
night schedule will entail an additional
expense of but $4,000.
The gas lamps come somewhat higher.
While gas, according to the present rates,
will cost the city s67,500 next year, by the
village schedule, they will cost $36,400 if
kept going all night and every night. The
gasolene lamps, over 1000 in number, can
be lit according to city style at for about
IS, 900 more than by the present system.
In other words, while it will cost the
city about s1S3, 900 the next year to illu-
inmate the streets by an ANTICIPATED
schedule-st will cost but 1921 900 to adopt
the st. Paul plan, which is admittedly
one Of the best-lighted cities in the
country.
A great deal will be said about adequate
street lighting before the board Of tax
levy at its important meetings, by men,
bers Of the Commercial club and the al
dermen. sE~ s55ts.

Burton.
Within a few years the national homes

the reports Of the governors Of the sew
seral homes.
General Burton is in st. Paul. To-day
he visited Fort Smelling and he expects

The national homes for disabled volun-
teer soldiers are at Dayton, Ohio: Togas,
Me-; Milwaukee; Danville, ILL.,; Marion.
Ind; Fort Leavenworth, Kan; Thomas
vile, Tenn; Old Point Comfort, Va, and
Santa Monica, Cal. The several branches
are equipped. for the accommodation of
over 10000 occupants and have an en-
rollment of $4,000. The average age of
the inmates Of the homes is about 70years,
and the governors observations are that
at the end of decade the mission Of the
homes will be gone.

STEVENS COUNTY WON'T PAY
Seed Grain Loans Likely to Be Tested
in the Courts.

Action of the authorities Of Stevens county
has given black eye to seed grain loans and
other paternalistic enterprises undertaken by
the state. 1t has always been understood
doubtful constitutionality, because they were
in sense diversion Of public funds for
private purposes. However, no one raised the
point until recently, when the county auditor
OF Stevens county explained the failure to
pay 100 loaned to the farmers of that
county. Bonds were used to indemnify the
the individual farmers to whom the loans
were made. This Stevens county refuses to
do on the advice of County Attorney Bicknell,
who holds the law under which the loans were
made Is invalid, and the bonds are not good,
The loans were made eight to ten years
ago.

NEGLECTED. HEROES
Former Governor Austin Urges that Some
thing Be Done for Survivors
of the Friendly Sioux.

Governor Van SAINT received a letter to-
day from Horace N. Austin, governor OF
Minnesota from 1870 to 1874, and now a
resident of Elsinore, Cal. He calls atten-
tlon to an article in McClure's Magazine
for August, entitled "a Sidelight on the
Sioux" telling how the friendly Indians
who saved the settlers in the 1852 mas
sacre had been neglected by the state.
Governor Austin says that if the facts
are true as stated in the article, it is a
disgrace to Minnesota, and will be a still
greater disgrace If the state does not make
some provision for these Indians, now that
attention has been called to them once
more. In Governor Austin's term some
legislative action was taken to recognize
their claims on the state, but evidently
nothing has been done along that line.
