SPOH ANE, WASH, June 9.-The farm
ers OF Eastern Washin gton are alarmed by
the appearance in great numbers OF small
grasshoppeIs which threaten 10 destroy
crops OF both field ard orchard. Several
weeks ago the grasshoppers appeared in
isolated spots, but week later they had
disappeared and il was thought there was
no danger. This week clouds OF them are

in q straight line. attacking all farms IN
their pathway. Adjoining farms on each
side are left untouched. In the vicinity
OF Steptoe Butte gardens nave been cut to
the ground. Cabbage and similar yege-
tables are totally stripped OF thier foliage.
George Fraught who has q farm six
miles southeast of Garfield, SAYS that the
gra>shoppers destroyed seven acres of
grain for him last week, and then sud
denly diss ppeared. He fears these will De
followed by thousands OF pests The fields
OF wheat, which are now in the milk
seem 10 be the favorite food of the grass
hoppers, ana scores of acres have already
been destroyed or badly damaged.
Former residents of Kansas state that
the pests are identical in appearance With
the grasshoppers which have wrought
such devastation in Kansas and Nebraska
in past years This is the first season they
have been numerous enough in this State
to cause apprehension. The grain yield
and fruit crop both promise TO be the
largest in the States history. On this &C.
count feeling has been prevalent that
prosperity would TeTurn by the fall, but
the people are now considerably depressed
