Watch This Page for Advertisements offGood Thing's to Eat A J GRASSHOPPERS JACKSON Expert Writes of Pest and Its Con trol Throughout This Section of the State Tells How They May Be Controlled. Last fall nnd this spring specimens cf tho grasshoppers located on tho J aunny side of Bear creek woVo sent to 4 tho Oregon agricultural college nnd xperlmont station. Professor A. B. Cordloy of tho department of sool 9jy and entomology writes tho Val ley Record as follows concerning tho specimens under date of July 22: "Your letters of July 1 : nd 2 camo during my absence In the eastern part of tho state, henco tho delay In answering them. "Relative to grasshoppers which were delivered by Mr. H. S. Jackson last fall, will say they were In suf ficiently good condition to enable me to Identify the speclos, namely Men alopsls atlantis, and I wish to ex press to you my appreciation for them. "The other specimens which were Jnclosed In your letter of July 2, prove to bo specimens of what are commonly known as "tree hoppers," 4 There are many species of these, all more or less grotesque In appearance, most of which feed upon the leaves of Tarious trees and shrubs by Inserting their beaks into the tissuo and suck ing tho sap, very similar to the feed ing habits of plant lice. In addition j the females of some of tho species do more or less damage to the twigs of shrubs and trees by puncturing them with their strong oviporltor for tho purpose of depositing eggs. However, it is very rare for any of tho species to become sufficiently abundant to fee of any considerable economic Im portance, and so far in this state we lave not found it necessary to recom mend any method for controlling these Insects." I J. u. Higgs, superintendent or tne J. O. 1 1 of Bear creek, has had several sea sons oi experience in studying tne grasshopper crop and has a good un derstanding of the habits of the hop pers in that section, which are com , mon to this valley and are designat ed as Mcnaloplls atlantis. Mr. RIggs says the hopper hatch es from about the middle of June to the first of July. They nro exceeding ly small and their natural life is ; about six or seven months. The lay ing season runs from about August 1 to October 1. The female hopper 'bores a hole in the ground one and "bolt to two Inches deep anil after 1 1 acjjusiiiut; u cucuuu liijo mu cbb iu t It. The hoppers do not travel after 1 they begin laying. I The hopper begins his career with a taste for alfalfa or other green vegetation. When the boarding house does not provide this delicacy, he climbs up a tree and feeds on the Jeaves, then the new limb, then the bud, then ho strips the bark. Mr. Riggs is reducing the hopper crop by tho following metheds: Beginning about June 15, the op ening season for batching, he burned over 250 acres of land. Burning must be carefully planned on tho cir cle system in order to cover the ter ritory thoroughly. As soon as tho hoppers quit traveling end- begin to lay he will burn over another 150 acres. In tho fall after tho laying (season Is over he will disc the land alongside the roads and- fences in &rder to destroy the eggs that have been laid. They cannot hatch on plowed ground. The hoppers do not fravel to exceed half n mile In their lifetime. Thoy travel from north west to southeast. PolBonlng with n preparation rec ommended by tho department of ag riculturo brings results. The tlmo (or poison is when tho hopper Is ibout half grown and after green feed Is scarce. Burning off vegeta tion compels tho hopper to eat poison In prodigious quantities and hoppers ,ass away fast. Like other animals ;hey leave the poison until the last on l',hoir bill of faro. ' Mr. RIggs' operations are at the j?oint whoro tho hoppers are tho thickest and in another season there (rill be few hoppers left. Messrs. U. Q. Hurley and Grant ,i Davis bavo experimented with burn ing thoir alfr.lfa fiolds after cutting ', ind haying their crop. This produces l great death rate among hoppers i ind does not destroy the alfalfa. Turkeyo i.ro a great reducor of tho lopper crop, but It requires some i )kill to ralso turkeys successfully, As young turks have a habit of dy- 1 r PUT BOYCOTT ON NEWSPAPER Register of Federal Lanad Office at Cocur d'Alene Withdrew Patron age Following Publication of Edi torial Criticising Bailingcr. i SPOKANE, Wash., July 30. Whon W. H. Batting, register of tho United States land office at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, sent tho now famout boycott lotters to Geotge R. Barker, editor of tho Pend d'Orelllo Revlow at Sand point, Idaho, withdrawing patronago following tho publication of an edi torial In which United States Senator Heyburn, Richard A. Balllngor, sec retary of the Interior, nnd Batting himsolt were criticised, ho probably reckoned without his host. Brought to tho attention of tho of ficials at Washington, D. C, tho grav ity of tho situation occasioned alarm, with tho result that Nelson Hartson, field representative of tho land de partment, was hurried to the sceno in an effort to smooth tbo matter over. What tho outcomo will bo cannot bo even guessed at just now. Editor Barker is still camping upon Batting's trail. Senator Heyburn has declined to take a hand in tho em broglio, though importuned to do so by Byron S. Deffonbach, chairman of the republican committee Tho difference between Barker and Batting was brought to a climax by a letter in which Batting accused Barker of violating truo republican principles and threatened a boycott of Barker's paper, also declaring his Intention of withholding government business from the newspapers at Sandpoint. Barker was not slow in giving the letters to a national week ly publication, and journal. In va rious parts of the country took up the matter. Batting admits that the withdrawal of patronage from the Review was the result of sharp criticism, saying also that the newspaper was not in harmony with tho republican party. Ho' added: "I have no porsonal feeling In the matter, yet I could not consistently recognize a newspaper whose editor persisted in indulging In personal abuse, and I have at no time allowed myself to reply to Mr. Barker In the samo tone which he chose to follow."

UNIONS OEFER ARBITRATION Combined Labor Organizations of Portlanad Try to Settle Team sters' Strike Rejection by Dray men May Mean Calling Strike. PORTLAND. Or., July 30. Arbi tration of the teamsters' strike i ncnin offered to the employers to day following a mooting of the cen tral executive committee, represent ing the combined union organizations of Portland, and a second meeting of tiie Central labor council Inst night. For over a month ortlnml business mou have been put to much incon venience, freight has piled up ill warehouses ninl several men hivve been sovcrcly injured in clashes on account of tho refusal of tho oper ating draymen to pay a daily wane increase of 23 cents to their team sters. Through it nil the unions have stood aloft from violence nnd have been anxious to treat with the em ployers, but thoir efforts toward re conciliation were unsuccessful. It is believed that the mueh-tnlk-cd-of general strike of nil unionists in ortlaud, numbering 11,000 men, will resist, should the draymen's as sociation decide to accept the offor to arbitrate. While such action is not hinted nt in the resolution ask ing -for pence, union lenders declare that such a step is under consider ation. A reasonable period of time will be given the employers to formulate n reply before further notion is taken by the unions. CHINA SEEKS TO SEIZE THIBET Great Britain Cloaks a Punitive Ex pedition Against Tribes in North ern India to Resist Invasion by Ce lestial Kingdom. SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., July 30. That Great Britain is cloaking a punitive expedition against the tribes of the northern states of India is tho substance of cablegrams re ceived here today by a Chinese daily newspaper. The dispatches state that the English garrison on the Indo-Tibetuu frontier arc being strengthened ostensibly to resist Chinese aggression in Tibet. The Peking government is repre sented as denying that China seeks to seize Tibet, but, on the other hand, charges that England, after giving the northern Hindus nu object les son, is desirous of annexing the country of the Dalai Llama. Chinese troop-, are pouring into Tibet, ostensibly for a purpose simi lar to England's. China has de throned tiie older Dalai Llama, who hns fled to India for protection. Chinn seated another Dalai Llama on the throne and thousuuils of Buddhists in the plateau land have revolted. Peking represents that the revolt must be crushed, but denies thnt tho Chinese garrisons ure being strengthened to resist the English. TEST SHOWS MAN NOT AMONG GAME FISHES SANTA BARBARA. Cal., July 30. If man were a fish lie would not be classed among the gnme ones, ac cording to Frank Guibutt of Los Au-gcle-., who is cruising from San Pedro to Son Francisco in his yacht. Giu-butt's opinion is based on a test struggle with Frank Harrison of San Francisco. Harrison, m.y feet tall and weighing 175, permitted Guibutt to fasten a nine. strand fi-.Ii lino to Ins belt and attempt to land him with a nine-ounce rod. Harrison is an export swimmer and befoie Gaibutt could stop his first rush the man-fish had run out 0 feet of line. Despite his strligglos, however, af ter that he was reeled steadily to ward the boat. He fought desperate ly, but within 17 minutes jvas brought to gnss. Garbutt claims a ycllowtuil woighing one-third as much would have resisted an hour.
