The droughty conditions in the cen

been relieved, in some measure, by
scattered showers falling over a con-
siderable area. In the southern dis

There are localities still badly in need
of rain. and vegetation is suffering.

cradle rye, oats and barley in Kane
county.
The corn crop is in very promis-
ing condition, probably little further
advanced than at the corresponding
period last year. The fields are clean
and well cultivated, the plant has good
color and much of the crop is laid by
in the central district.
Oats are turning ripe in the central
and southern districts, and some fields
will be ready for harvest in the latter
district during the ensuing week; in
the northern district the crop is head
ing out. Some correspondents report
short straw, but the general outlook
for the crop is promising.
Wheat harvest is well advanced in
the central district, and now extends
TO the northern. In the central dis
trict the prospective yield will be quite
satisfactory. the berry being of good
quality, but the yield in the southern
counties will probably be disappoint-
ing in many instances.
Rye is in shock in the central dis
trict, and is ready to cut or is being
cut in the northern district. Reports
with regard to this crop as well as
barley are uniformly favorable.
A heavy crop of clover is being
mown in the northern district, but
some meadows are badly lodged and
tangled from rank growth, and some
rotting will ensue. In the other dis
tricts the crop has been cured in good
condition. Timothy is well grown in
the northern district, but elsewhere it
is short on account of lack of moist

Grapes, blackberries and raspberries

nouncement made by the high officials
who visited the city yesterday and
who held a lengthy conference with
Mayor Olson and City Engineer Clark
T. Anderson. When the officers were
seen they were not prepared to speak
on what the plans were, as they have
not decided on any one certain plan,
but several are in view. These, how
ever, they would not state. They stat
ed, though, that they would again be
in the city, probably in a month, when
they would perhaps be ready to make
a proposition to the city council.

COMPANY MUST PAYTAX|
SUPREME COURT DECIDES AGAINST
 TRADING STAMPS.
The Montgomery City Council Has RiGht to Collect $4O0 from Home Merchants Trading Stamp
 Company.

By a decision yesterday of the Su- preme Court of Alabama, the Home Merchants Trading Stamp Company or Montgomery must pay the annual IT. cense tax of $400 assessed against U under an ordinance of the Montgomery City Council which tax has been resist- ed by the Trading Stamp Company on the ground that 1t was unjust and Sn- reasonable.
 The Supreme Court afi emed the 3uds- ment of the City Court oe Montgomery in which the manager Of the stamp company. J. E. Gamble, was fined TOT non payment of tho city license 'ax. From this judgment. Mir. Gamble ap- pealed to the Supreme Court
 The opinion of the Supreme Court was written by Mir. Justice Anderson.
 The sole question involved in this appeal" says the opinion. "is the valid ity of the ordinance under which this defendant was convicted in the court below"
 Justice Anderson then quotes the law providing that City Councils may have the right to fix licenses. and adds that it is settled in the law of this State that the Legislature can confer upon cities and towns the power to impose a license tax upon business and profess sions.
 If the tax is not unreasonable. op- prcssive or prohibitive." the opinion continues, "it will be upheld by tho courts, and Is not violative of the con- stitution. unless in it's operation 1t dis criminates against one and in favor of another member of the same class
 Authorities as to equal and uniform taxation are cited, and the opinion adds:
 Tn the case at bar, we have no evil dence that the tax imposed Is unrea- sonable or prohibitive. So far as we r0u1d well afford to pay the tax and conduct lucrative and profitable business.
 "The defendant contends that the tax in question is not uniform in that 1t discriminates against him and he in troduces an ordinance fixing the tax or merchants whose capital in business Is the same as his. at $24 instead of $40o. And the question which presents itself for our consideration .and which Is de- cisive of this case. Is does the defend ant belong to the class of merchants included in the last mentioned ordi- nance? We think not, and think thst the business in which the defendant was engaged is of such character as not to prohibit the imposition of a license tax greater than the one im- posed on ordinary merchants.
 These views are not in conflict with the case of Shugart against the State Q3s Alabama s6) which simply decided that Issuing trading stamps was not violative of the statute against lotte- ries and gift enterprises.
 The Judgment of the City Court Is affirmed"
 The City Council. in an effort to drive trading stamps from Montgomery, pass- cd an ordinance some time ago provid- ing a license tax of $400 on the stamp company and $100 on each merchant giving them to customers. Both ordinances were resisted. The Supreme Court, in the case os w. B. Kelly, decided some time ago that the city could not collect a tax of $10O from licensed merchants for giving away trading stamps.
