Ho Occasion for Alarm Over Invasion tiy
Kansas Locusts.
The sensational stories con
cerning the alleged devastation
being wrought in this vicinity by
grasshoppers, should occasion no
alarm among strangers or those
from abroad -who intend coming
here to make their homes. . Old
residents take such effusions for
what thev are worth.
A specimen of the grasshop
pers whieh have been found in
this section ot tne valley was sent
to Professor A. B. Cordley, of
tne department of zoology at the
Aerieuitural College, and the fol
lowing information has been fur
nished by him:
The grasshopper sent me from
Salem, with the report that it is
feeding upon hops and clover,
proves to belong to the species
known as the non-migratory,
red-legged locust. This is a
species that is found in all parts
of the United States, except in
the extreme southeastern part
and also in the settled portions of
Canada; in fact, it is one of the
most widely distributed and most
common of our native locusts.
Nevertheless, it does not usually
occur in sufficient numbers to
cause any serious injury to crops,
except over small areas.
It appears this year to oe par
ticularly abundant. Only a few
days ago I visited some farms a
few miles from Corvallis where
the yield of oats has been quite
materially reduced by them, and
I found them in immense v num
bers upon a small patch of corn
and potatoes. The total loss,
however, is not great, and is con
fined, so far as I have observed,
to fields bordering upon a small
timbered creek. In fact, this
species is generally found on low
grounds, cultivated fields, shady
margins of woods, etc., where
vegetation is rank. Unlike the
closely related and usually more
destructive species, it is rarely
found upon dry hillsides. They
never fly far irom the place where
they are hatched, and the eggs
are usually deposited in such
grounds as I have mentioned. ,
In the Mississippi valley this
occasional causes some
injury to crops, but the greater
portion of such damage is caused
either by the lesser migratory lo
cust (melanophis atlanis) or by
the Rockv Mountain or migra
tory locust (melanophis spretus).
The latter species is the one
which devastated Kansas in the
early 70's and which nearly
every year since has been injuri
ously abundant in some portion
of the great plains. It does not
occur in Oregon except possibly
in the extreme northeastern part.

Uncle Tom's Cabin.
A Kewnort correspondent of
the Portland Journal contributes
the following items of interest to
people of this section:
While in Newoort the mem
bers of the state press association
were entertained by Mr.
Frank Cook, ot Minneapolis,
who. with two other gentlemen
from Minnesota, have purchased
60,000 acres of land along the
Corvallis & Eastern Railway,
and will colonize this whole sec
tion. They are already about to
settle fifty dairymen who will en
ter extensively into butter and
cheese making. The natural
rich grasses that grow abundant
ly will assure the dairyman
quick returns from a small in
vestment.
There are other industries
which will be coached by Mana
ger Stone and Mr. Cook which
will mean thousands of dollars to
tViP state within the next few
years.
Wnllis INasri. wno ownea a

Just why people wiUvCootinue to flock
to see Uncle Tom's Cabin is, as Lord
Dundreary would say, "One of those
things that no fellow, c6uld find out."
But they will continue to go and Bee it,
just as they bave been doing for thirty
years. No play has been more , abused
than this one. It has be&n done in dime
museams at the rate of ten times a'dayj
aud in one-night stands in an hour arid
a half, by five or six people. On the

anyone who thought they could make a

out that the admirers of the play had the
pleasure ot seeing it put on the stage in a
manner that they could appreciate.
