An Effective Method for Destroy

The fire that started north of the
American River on Sunday burned over
only about 100 acres and did no serious
damage.
A Sacramentan who was in that vi

was started by a farmer who wanted
to destroy grasshoppers. If so he
adopted a very effective method, but
grasshopper invasion at this season of
the year would be a novelty.
Over in Placer County, between
Roseville and Lincoln, a field fire on
Sunday swept over a big section of
country and destroyed several build
