FAIR CROPS IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Hay VIII be short, Oats and Barley
Only About One-Hnlf the
Average Yield.

ABERDEEN, S. D., July 1-(speclaD-
Reports from men who made CAREFUL
study of crop conditions in this section of
South Dakota indicate that the hay crop
will be very short, although in this respect
South Dakota is better off than either
North Dakota or Minnesota. The price
of hay has gone up 50 ton in the last
fortnight from $40 to S13.
Oats and barley are now being cut, and
are running about half an average yield.
Fear was expressed earlier that the straw
would be so short a header would have
to be used in harvesting those crops, but
in nearly every field 1t has been found
perfectly feasible to use binder, the
straw being nearly up to the normal
height A half crop of wheat is looked

little below half crop because the heads
are not filling out so we'll as the common
variety. Corn continues to look WELL al

FOR GREAT WESTERN
Assistant CITY ATTORNEY Dunn Flaws
Reorganized Road.
oRAToRY OVER LATE vIADUCT
for Railroad, Pleads for
Delay, But city Council De-
cides 20 Pass the Pend
ing Ordinance.

After a speech by Assistant City At
torney 1. j. Dunn, in which he denounced
the Chicago, Great Western railroad for
having been "Morganheimed, frenzled,
financed, and looted" for backing up the
Omaha Grain Terminals company in an
alleged attempt to hold off the city from
forcing 1t to build a viaduct on Bancroft
and Twenty-sixth streets, the city council
Monday afternoon, sitting as a committee
of the whole decided to pass the ordinance
which William Herdman. attorney for the
company, was trying to postpone
The ordinance in question is an order con-
demning the rights of the Omaha Grain
Terminals company to a strip OF land in
Arbor place which was once intended for
a street and was purchased by the city at
a cost Of $1,000 for that purpose. Subse-
Quently it was given over to the Terminals
company for trackage an dit Is this right
that must be condemned.
According to Mr.. Dunn's speech the rail-
road started to build this same viaduct
about seven years ago and has delayed and
dallied about it since in an effort to avoid
1t altogether. The city has to fight a suit
OF $4,000 for damages which the Union
Pacific claims 1t suffered in building a
subway under It tracks at this point rend-
the Terminals company.
Ordinance ON It's Way.
The ordinance condemning this right in
preparation for the construction Of the
viaduct was introduced at the council meet
ing last Tuesday night. 1t was made neces-
sary by the decision of the federal court
which denied the city the right to take the
property without condemnation.
1.-THE attorneys for the railroad can rest
assured they will get no money from this
action" declared Mr.. Dunn. I'm this mat
ter we can keep them in the state courts
and there we can meet them. 1t requires
great deal Of gall for the railroads to
promise anything when they have broken 30
many promises.
Mr.. Herdman, attorney for the Termi-
nsls company, had asked for weeks time
for the company to prepare plan or an
alternative for the vi1duct, but by the
recommendation Of the ordinance for pas
sage his request was overruled.
The committee of the whole also received
the resignation of c. A. Hiss, assistant
boiler inspector, and authorized the ex-
penditure of 5000 for the repairing of the
CITY hall elevator system and the addition
of new electric pump for emergencies.
The levy proposed at the last council meet
ing of 100000 for the general fund and
S25O,OOO for the sinking fund will be APP
