The locust scourge OF eastern Caliiornis
continues undated. The wholesale des-
truction Of crops SO painfully exhibited in
Sierra Valley for three years past is re-
peated in part this season, and also ex.
tended over large area Of country north
and south. Nearly all the valleys flank
ing the Sierra on the east. and extending
from ModOc county to Mono, are more or
less affected, and contiguous regions are
frightfully menaced.
The importance OF the subject impelled
the writer to visit the locality and make q
careful examination. Arrived at Reno,
the widest stories were told Of the insect
plague, and various conflicting theories
were advanced as TO the laws governing
It's present appearance and It's future des.
tiny. Citizens kindly aided in getting
about the country and prosecuting re-
search.
We drove over the famous alfalfa fields
Of Truckee Meadows, at once the principal
agricultural wealth oil Nevada and the
prophecy otits future, TO find many Of the
wide.stretching fields shorn OF every green
leaf, not by the usual noisy moving ma.
chine, but by millions Of imported, silent,
devouring insects. The extent OF the des.
tiuetion eau be appreciated when we con.
slider that the annual yield OF alfalfa for
this one valley Is 1000 to Is, 600 tons.
This year, though a fine one, owing 70
abundant snow last winter, the crop will
not exceed 1900 tons. at 81 per ton ior
standing crops, the loss exceeds $50 900.
In Sierra Valley last year the loss was
$4,000, and for the three years Of tie

Editor of the Review:-

Editor Of the Reviev:-
In your last issue, the Rev. D. M.
Haggard, of Stately, does me the in
justice, to say the least, of carpingly
animadverting upon my professional
conduct, and attempting to make me
the butt of a number of derisive and
sarcastic reflections and all with the
following incident for a motive.
About a fortnight or so ago young
man came into my Office and said sub
stantially as follows: "a man by the
name of Conger, stopping on a farm
eight miles south of here, has the
fever and wants you to come and see
him." Understanding from the word
stoppimg, that the patient was a
stranger, I simply did what every
physician and business man, under the
circumstances, does, namely, question
ed as to who was responsible for the
fee, and as the messenger failed to
mention anybody, said nothing, I de.
clined to 20. And that is all! Mr..
Haggard has seen fit to give this bar.
rem item with much personality and
an ondeaVOr az Spruc0neSS OF OlcClOn
to the public. Why, do not know.
I am sure, that had / known that the
messenger is his son, or the patient
his kin, my services would have been
disposal without any adyertance to.
fee whatever, as Mr.. Haggard 8 credit
is unquestioned.
Respectfully,

Quite a large and apprecjative audi.
ence assembled at Turner Hall last
Sunday evening, to witness the gym.
nastic exercises given by Carl Gebser
and his pupils The different perform.
ances gone through with, showed that
the scholars have received careful
training at the hands of their instruct.
or. In the several evolutions in march.
ing, the little girls showed that they
had made rapid improvements since
former exhibitions. The turning on
the horizontal bar by the boys of the
first class in gymnastics, was especially
interesting to the many spectators, the
performers showing degree of activ.
lty and precision far beyond the ex.
pectations of many. Anton Sch@fe1
took part in the exercises of the even
ing, and was often loudly applauded
for his mastery skill in turning. The
ease and exactness which characterized
his movements, proved that he was
justly entitled to the honors bestowed
upon him last summer at the Frankfort

gymnastic exercises the light.
toed folks took in the dance which
lasted until about two o'clock on the
following morning.

The Sleepy Eye. Herald Of last week

The Sleepy Eye. Herald Of last week
contains a very mean and nncalled for
attack upon one of our esteemed citi-
zens, and all because he is a Republi-
can and candidate for the nomination
of Senator from this district. While
the Herald is careful not to mention
any name, anyone who knows anything
at all about Brown county politics
knows that the slurrlng article is aim
ed at Mr.. S. D. Peterson. Itsays that
he has no qualification nor fitness what.
ever for the important Office, that he
has no legislative experience, has never
been identified with any public enter
prise, and that his nationality is his
only recommendation. The Herald,
however, comedies that he has consid
erable influence among the voters of
his nationality, but says the Republi-
cans Of Brown county only favor his
nomination at the desire Of Maj. Strait.
The Republicans Of Brown county
favor Mr.. S. D. Peterson for the Senat
because they know him to be a gentle.
man; they know him to be a man of
good common sense, and, although he
may not have any legislative expert.
ence, they know that if nominated and
elected he will not make an exhibition
of himself and disgrace the district
like the last member of the House from
this county, whom the Democrats
foisted upon the people. The people
comprising the 39th Senatorial dis.
trict need have no fear that if Mr..
Peterson becomes the next State Sena-
tor their interests in that branch of
the legislature will suffer. He is a
jealous worker in the pursuit OF what
ever he undertakes to do, and his
large business experience will serve
him we'll in representing the district
in an intelligent and creditable man
ner.

where in the Republican party; and
how much would be gained by giving
the great and good Democratic party
entire control Of the government.
After the subsistence Of the applause
which was rendered to the latter spea-
ker, the convention was on motion
adjourned.
The Offices of County Surveyor and
County Attorney were not even
mentioned in the convention
consequently there was no one nomin-
ated for either position. As the Her
aid, in the call for the convention pub.
lished therein, did not contain any
thing in reference to those Offices they
were probably ommitted in the con-
vention by mistake.
After the convention had adjourned, !,
the delegates of the Sd commissioners
district, consisting of the towns Of
Stark. Sigel and Milford, met and se-
lected Christ. Spellbrink, Jr., of the
last-named town as their candidate for
county commissioner. We understand
that Mic. Gulden, of Cottonwood, has
been named as a candidate for COM
missioner of the I'd district, which
comprises the towns of Albin, Lake
Hanska, Linden and Cottonwood. The
delegates from those towns did not as.
semble after the convention, hence we
can not say with any degree of certain.
ty whether Mr.. Gulden is the nominee
or not.
