Hills by way of Pierre; and it is also

a one hundred and twenty-five ton boat,
to be propelled by a gasoline engine, to

a landing near Joe Bobean's ranch in
Mercer county. There will also be a
landing at VIM. Miller's ranch. At
Bobean's ranch a wealthy German from
South Dakota in connection with the

General Freight Agent S. L. Moore,
of the Northern Pacific, is sending to
the agents along the line a circular call
ing attention to the fact that the Rocky
mountain locust Is leaving it's native
home and the possibility of it's invading
the territory of the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Moore says in his circular that ian
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" and quotes Prot. Otto Lugger,
state entomologist, as to the best
method of preventing an invasion or of
destroying the insects before they can
multiply where they have already Sc
cured a foothold. Nj. Moore said he
did not believe that the Dakotas would
suffer from the g%rasshopper pest this
year, but that in view of the fact that
they have made thier appearance in
other localities than thier home, he had
thought it best to send out warning.
The circulars will be posted and sent
out by the agents among the farmers
along the line.
