NIT that he was satisfied and we'll
pleased with the result of his efforts in

eyes, we have financed our interur-
ban project" he said in response to
leading question. "It took me some
little time but men are not investing
"a, 900, 900 without careful investiga-
tion. They have to be shown We
have been able to do this and are now
in position to go ahead and build
what will be one of the best equipped
electric railways in the world. From
the grading up to the cars we are going
to make the Dan Patch Line the best
of it's kind The highest grade con-
struction will save in the end by max
ing cheaper operation and less repair
expenses and l believe that high grade
rolling stock in which the travelling
public is given every convenience and
comfort is the only way to secure pop
ularity and enable good road to pay
good dividends.
Mr.. Savage stated that there was
over thirty miles of grade complete at
the present time and that there were
several crews now carrying ON this
work. He said that no immediate
changes would be made except that
preparations had already been begun
for letting of contracts for the re-
mainder of the grade and work would
be rushed along as fast as it is possible
to do and still maintain the highest
degree of excellency.

counties where it was very light. Dur
ing the first three days of the week the
weather was dry with abundant sun
shine making exceptionally favorable
conditions for field operations, and the
work of preparing ground and planting
corn was vigorously pushed. Fully Is
per cent of the corn ground has been
plowed, and about as per cent of the
planting has been done and the re-
mainder will be practically finished by
the 25th. From Thursday to Saturday
the weather was mostly cloudy with
frequent showers, and, in many locali-
ties in the central districts, the rainfall
was excessive. Some of the showers
were accompanied by severe thunder
and hail storms and considerable dam
age was done by lightning, but the hail
storms We're generally of short duration
and confined to small areas so that, for
the state at large, there was but little
injury done. The heavy rains interfered
with plowing and corn planting and
have made the fields, in southern, cen.
trail and eastern districts, so wet that
planting cannot be resumed on low
ground for several days. Field work
is, however, about as far advanced as
it was at this time last year, but the
growth of vegetation is still backward.
The rains were very beneficial to gras:
and small grain and in breaking up the
hard clods and in softening the surface
of the ground in fields which were
plowed when the soil was too wet. The
soil is now in good tilth, and the growth
of vegetation will be rapid.
Fruits are still in good condition, not
withstanding the fact that frost wa.
quite general on the morning of thu
10th with freezing temperatures ovel
northern and western counties. Tree!
are now in full bloom in central dis
tricts and the buds are beginning t,
open in northern districts.
