The Brainerd Pioneer Press notes five on Monday destroyed $60 000 worth of property in Livingston Montana. It reports over 100 000 bushels of wheat marketed this season at Hawley Minnesota. It states there will be no extra legislative session this winter and Gov Hubbard says the state cannot incur expenses without a loan.
