PROCLAMATION.
Grasshoppers by the millions are
appearing in Home localities in
Morrow county, says the Heppner
Gazette. They have settled in
great numbers in the Sand Hollow
country, where they are doing con
siderable damage. They are do
ing the most damage to alfalfa and
the hay crop, and in some places
are taking gardens.
The first crop of alfalfa which
was immense, has practically all
been saved, but it is feared that
very little of the second crop can
be saved, owing to the ravages of
the millions of these insects that
have been congregating in the al
falfa fields. At Hynd Bros’, big
ranch in Sand Hollow, they are so
thick in the alfalfa that in the even
ing after the insects go to roost on
the beads of the alfalfa plant they
can be scooped up by ihe gallon by
taking a coal oil can or bucket and
striking through the grass. It is
only the work of a short time to
till a gunny sack. Some of them
caught this way are being fed to
bogs.
Along Willow creek, where there
are many alfalfa fields, the grass
hoppers are numerous and doing
considerable damage; in some
places they are attacking wheat
fields but are not doing much dam
age, owing to the fact that the
grain is nearing maturity and is
getting hard. However, they are
stripping the green leaves from the
stalks. In the wheat belt they
have not appeared in sufficient
numbers to cause any alarm and
the damage to the wheat crop will
be of little consequence.
Whereas, there was submitted to the
electors of the state at the last general
election as required by law, an initia
tive petition for a Local Option I.iquor
Law;
And, whereas,on the2 4thday of June,
1904, the Secretary af State in my pres
ence as Governor of the State of Oregon,
did canvass the votes given for said law ;
And, whereas, it was ascertained and
determined upon such canvass that
there were 43316 votes cast for said I-ocal
Option Liquor I.aw, and 40198 votes
casts against the same, and that the
■aid law received an affirmative major
ity of the total number of effective votes
cast thereon an<l entitled to be counted
under the provisions of law ;
Now, Therefore, I, Geo. E. Chamber-
lain, as Governor of the State of Oregon,
in obedience to Section 9 of an Act en
titled “An Act making effective the
initiative and referendum provisions of
Section 1 of Article IV of the Constitu
tion of the State of Oregon, and regulat
ing elections thereunder and providing
penalties for violations of the provisions
of this Act, ” Approved Februaiy 24,1903,
do hereby make and issue this proclama
tion to the people of the state of Orogon,
and do announce and declare that the
whole number of votes cast in the State
of Oregon for Baid Local Option Liquor
Law was 43316 votes, and the whole
number of votes cast against said Local
Option Liqnor Law was 40198 vot«s,
and that Baid Local Optiou Liquor Law-
received an affirmative majority of the
total number of votes cast on said
measure and entitled to be counted
under the provisions of law, and that
said Local Option Liqnor Law shall be
and is in full force and effect as the
law of the State of Oregon from the
date of this Proclamation.
Done at the Capitol at Salem this 24th

Mr. Hurlburt may be supposed to
be interested in preserving the
present status of the Columbia
Southam road. HiB Shaniko in
terests would suffer by extention
of the line. Therefore his view of
the situation may not be wholy
trustworthy. Still, he has interests
in the interior that require trans-
Mbrtation facilities for their develop

this region. He has his own theory,
