The INTER- OCEAN Is not inclined to
take much stock in the grasshopper
scare which seems to, pervade our
brethren along the jamestown &
Northern branch Of the Northern Pa
cifc. It is undoubtedly true that the
genuine Rocky mountain %locusts, in
limited numbers, are to be found in
several localities of the territory indi-
Gated, and it is equally true, judging
from the past, that if no precautions
are taken they are apt to do great
damage. But it seems that the people
are fully alive to the necessity of
stamping out the pest at this tim 9 and
preventing further progress. It has
been more than twenty years since the
grasshoppers did any damage in the
northwest and during that time
science has made considerable pro-
gress in the methods used in COM
batting insect pests. The same scare
prevailed throughout this region some
six or seven years ago and the result
indicated that it was u~nwarranted. It
is probable that the present alarm Is
not justified by the facts.

Open to Settlement,

There seems to be some misunder.
standing in regard to the opening Of
the Turtle mountain timber reserve
and quite q number of people are wait
ing to make filings under the i'm
preston that the reserve is not vet in
the market. This is a mistake. The
entire Turtle mountain country, with
the exception Of the two townships,
included in the Indian reservation is
open to settlement. There are, how
ever, four townships andfour fractional
townships not yet surveyed. These
are in township 1853, ranges ii, p, "a
and "a and the fractional townships
between them and the boundary line
No filings can be received at the land
office on these townships until they
have been surveyed, but those who
make actual settlement and improve.
ment on these lands have the pre-.
ference right when the time comes for
filing.

Nothing Escapes.

Washington, June Ex-senator
H~ansbrough quickly nipped a scheme
that was, set up to deprive him of some
patronage In his state. Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner Scott had deter
mined to appoint two deputy collectors
OF internal revenue from Nebraska for
duty in North Dakota. Hansbrough
HE'D himself to the treasury depart
ment and In q hot interview succeeded
IN stopping the order. He will have
two OF his own men appointed. There
are 9 number OF applicants for these
positions, and he has not yet made
selections for them. One deputy will
serve until the war revenue billsis re-
pealed and the other until until the
machinery for the collection of war
revenue is in full operation.

More Than Her share.

Washington correspondence in
Pioneer Press: Senator Hansbrough
called on Secretary Alger to ascertain
the number of troops that would be
assigned to North Dakota under the
last call for volunteers. The senator
learned that under the first call North
Dakota had secured a larger quota
than the state was entitled to under
both calls and that consequently she
will not be required to furnish n
additional troops. Under the first call
North Dakota's quota amounted to. 800
and under the second $50. Six hun
dred and forty-eight men were accepted
at the time Of the first call, which is
In excess of the quota Tor both calls.
The senator said that in case other
states failed to furnish their full quota
North Dakota would probably be per-
mitted to supply the deficiency.
Senator Hansbrough called the atten-
ton of Secretary Alger to four organ
lied companies in the state which are
anxious to be placed in the field.

Electric Road to chautauqua.

Allan Tompkins is making arrange
ments TO build an electric road to the
Chantauqua and expects to have it in
running order by this time next year.
The dynamo he is putting into his
electric light plant will furnish the
power.
AS it is an open question whether
such q road will be a paying PROPOSE
tion Mr.. Tompkins will ask the citizens
of Devils Lake and other parties
directly interested for q certain
amount Of financial assistance, but his
method will have originality from the
fact that he proposes to give value
received. He will sell in advance
tickets good for q stated number Of
round trip rides over the road, the
money thus obtained to be used in
building the road. It is understood
that the right of way and q lake front
terminal will be obtained In q similar
manner.
His plan seems feasible and it is
hoped that he will succeed. A road
of this kind to the Chautanqua is
badly needed.

Look Ont for e

Reports from other parts of the
state indicate that a new tangled
species of swindling is being perpe-
trated on farmers by travelling hail in
surance agents. The latter solicit a
contract to insure, which afterwards
turns out to be a note for five years
insurance. AS a general proposition
when such people strike a farmers
house the proper thing to do is to turn
loose the bull dog and double barreled
shot gun. 1t is not definitely known
whether or not these swindlers have
been at work in Ramsey county, but
ii any farmer has given a note or con
tract for insurance he had better as
certain at once just what it was that
he signed.
