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.

lopper crop, but It requires some

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."

PORTLAND. Or., July 30. Arbi

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

that such a step is under consider

be given the employers to formulate

by the unions.
CHINA SEEKS
TO SEIZE THIBET
Great Britain Cloaks a Punitive Ex

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

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

Dispute No Need of Militia.
COLUMBUS, O., July 30. Adjutant-General
Weybraeht ha ordered
the Fourth and Kichth regiments,
General John Speaks commanding, to
Columbus, and it i? believed martial
law will be declared.
The new troops will arrive lalo this
afternoon. The colonels of the First
nnd Fiftli regiments have been or
dered to be ready to go to Columbus
at once.
The summoning of tho extra
troops follows a dispute between
Governor Harmon and tho city nud
county authorities. Tho police have
been disgruntled because the mili
tiamen are not doing patrol dutv.
Governor Harmon is angry that the
troops were called out nt oil, saying
there was no nppurent need for sol
diers, nnd that the police nnd sher
iff hud not attempted to control Clio
situation.
The governor forbade colling the
troops to help keep order unless
mobs gnthercd. During the night in
dividual strike sympathizers stoned
cars operated by strikebreakers. No
mobs gathered, and the troops re
mained in camp, while the poll 't
were sent to handle the situation. A
number of the strikebreakers wete
slightly injured.

disgusted with the situation and that
lie will declare martial law, taking
