Areas Infested by the Insects Will
BE Flowed Under.


Crookston, Mimi, July 20.-The state
entomologist. +. l.. washburn, has
found that the reports current regard
ing the grasshoppers near Hill river
have been highly exaggerated. He has
lust left that district, where he has
been spending the past few days In
Vestigating matters. He states that the
grasshoppers have been feeding in the
one spot about one mile wide and four
miles long. They have confined them
selves to this territory and have not
spread. The amount of damage done
to the crops within this boundary 10
not nearly so large as has been report
ed, and as the little insects are now
through eating for the season the work
of the farmers will be confined to ex-
terminating the pests. II is now the
time for them to lay their eggs, ana
the fields will be watched carefully.
This fall the ground will be plowed
under wherever the grasshoppers have
been seen. In this way Mr.. Washburn
says the hoppers can be almost wholly
extermlnated.

PLAN TO RAISE THt MONEY
RATE OF ASSESSMENT WILL BE 10
FER CENT OR EVEN
HIGHER.
REFERRED TO A COMMITTEE
HIGH OFFICERS CONSIDER RECON-
MENDATIONs OF THE
PRESIDENT.

indianapolis, Ind, July 20. - At the
nonclusion of a secret session which
asted the entire afternoon the recon-
mendations of President Mitchell for
the management OF the anthracite
strike were referred to a special COM
mittee which is to report back to the
convention when ii meets to-day. This
committee consists OF President Mitch
ell. Vice President Lewis, Secretary
Wilson and the president Of each dis
trIct which is taking part in the con-
yentiOn. There is little doubt that
the committee Will urge the adoption of
the recommendations and fixing the
rate Of assessment at 10 per cent or
higher.
At the opening OF the executive ses-
sion Vice President Lewis took the floor
and delivered an energetic speech on
the amendment offered by Delegate
Haskns in the morning to the effect
that the
Fund to he Raised
for the aid of the anthracite miners be
extended to all of the striking miners
where their strike has been sanctioned
BY the general organization. President
Mitchell then took the floor to speak for
the adoption of the recommendation
made in his speech of Thursday. He
told the convention that the strikes IN
West Virginia and elsewhere were be-
ing protected by the organization by
the assessments of the union, but the
assessments which were under discus
sion were not necessary for the sup
port of the anthracite strike alone,
and should not be diverted from its
purpose.
A vote was then taken on the Has
kins amendment and it was voted down
by a decisive majority. This left be-
fore the convention the original motion
for the adoption of the recommends
ons of the president. number Of
amendments were then offered, all re-
lating to the manner in which the
Agreement should BE Made.
These were all pending when Secretary
Wilson offered an amendment that the
matter be referred to committee made
up of the three highest officers of the
rational organization and the presi-
dents of districts represented in the
convention. This prevailed and an adj
journment was taken until to-day. At
the conclusion of the session Secretary
Wilson said:
cit will cost 100000 weekly to sup
port all the men now on strike in the
various districts. An assessment OF
81 per week will bring in $250,0O0
week. This will leave US $250,000 TO
raise each week from outside sources,
and from the promises and offers that
have been made US we are confident
that we will be able to do this"
