Drouth Broken.

Washington, May 12.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions follows:
The temperature conditions for the
week ending May 9 were favorable In
all districts except the northern Pacific
coast and the middle Rocky mountain
region, where frosts and freezing tenn
peratures were injurious.
Heavy rains in portions of the lower
Missouri and Red River of the North
valley. and in Texas. retarded work
and caused damage by washing the
land, but were of great benefit in re
lieving drouth in western Texas.
Drouth was also relieved in portions of
the South Atlantic and east gulf
Of these districts, and at the close of
the week rain was generally needed In
the middle Atlantic states.
The states of the Ohio valley and
lake region experience highly favorable
condition. Corn planting is now in op-
throughout the northern portion of the
eorn belt. In Nebraska. Kansas end
northern Missouri, however, planting
has been interrupted by rain. In Iowa
this work has made good progress and
1t is likely the bulk of the crop in that
state will be planted earlier than in
recent years.
General improvement in condition of
winter wheat is indicated, especially
over the western portions of the winter
wheat belt and in the middle Atlantic
states, but the outlook for this crop
IN the Ohio valley continues Very poor.
Spring wheat seeding is largely fin
ished except on wet lands in northern
North Dakota and Minnesota. Early
sown over the southern portion of the
spring wheat region is making good
growth. Early sown oats are gener-
ally improved and in promising con-
dition. except in the south Atlantic and

EXTENDING IMPROVEMENTS.
Sewerage and Water Being Added /
Dakota University

Dakota University.
Mitchell, S. d., May 1o.-At the meet
ing OF the city council this week it was
decided to extend the city sewerage
and water to the Dakota university,
three-fourths of a mile south of the
Milwaukee depot. Both services will
also be extended north of the Omaha
tracks and east and west from Main
street six or eight blocks during the
summer. In all. the estimate made by
the council was that bitches tor the
sewerage and tile laying would exceed
three miles and water bitches and pip
ing would be extended nearly two
miles. When this is completed Mitchell
Will have as fine a sewerage and water
system as any in the state. And this is
so because of the general lay of the
city, which has ravines and draws
from the city limits into both the Jim
river and Firesteel creek Work on
these improvements will start early in
June.
