Few hopes to everybody and our

for a middling fair harvest are much
better now.
The correspondent has interviewed
! several formers IN Pierz and the
surrounding towns as to their views
in regard to the coming harvest.
Following We state what they have to
say:
Robert Gruber of Pierz says harvest
is partly . failure. Small grain is
partly loor and partly fair. Corn 10
much better than last year at present.
Tame hay is very coed, he will get
about 160 tons.
Henry Wullrer of Agram says
harvest ie a failure this year and that
the wheat will not yield 10 bushels to
the acre. Rye and corn are fairly
good, also tame hoy.
Theo Gross Of Granite says in his
nelghb0rhood small grain is much
better than last year. He thinks
wheat will yield from II to Is bushels
to the acre.
Henry LANCER of Pierz, near Fish
Lake. says his wheat and especially
winter rye is number one, barley ia
not SO good and his corn Is poor. He
says further that pr ospects for q good
yield were never better with him than
this year.

RAILROAD RATE CASE.
Federal Court Rules Against Attorney
General Young.

General Young.
Judge William Lochren, In the
United States circuit court at st.
Paul, has ruled that the attorney gen
sral of Minnesota comes within the
proceedings instituted by the stock
holders Of railroads doing business in
Minnesota to restrain the enforce
ment Of the new passenger and
freight rates. After argument by
counsel had been completed on that
phase Of the proposition the Judge
gave his decision from the bench that
If an Injunction be issued the attorney
general will be party to be enjoined
He held that under the decisions of
the United States supreme court the
suits in question are not against the
state, but against such officers as
threaten to enforce the law which is
claimed to be unconstitutional.
The ruling disposed of an impor-
tant preliminary point and now leaves
the way clear to try the suits on their
merits. It was the contention of the
attorney general that the suits in fact
were directed against the state in
contravention of The eleventh amend
ment Of the federal Constitution,
which provides that state cannot be
sued by citizen Of that state or ary
other state unless by consent of the
state. Counsel for the stockholders
attacked this contention, asserting
that the attorney general was made a
party to the action in his official ca
pacity.
