TONS OF eRAssHoPPERs.
Pests Hunted in Utah for Bounty
State Pays.

While it is conceded that graSshOp-
pers are bad, very bad, in eastern Mon
tana, still when it comes to finding
them in ton weights, it is probable
that Utah is entitled to the palm. In
that state they are so numerous and
destructive that the state pays boun-
ty for their destruction. To this the
different counties add and the business
OF hopper hunting seems to be quite
profitable one for the MormOns.
How the little pests are caught is
not told, but evidently some system
has been devised by which it is pos
sible to catch them in large quantd-
ties, ais the following from the Salt
Lake City News would show:
The state auditor has received 9
bill from County Clerk P. w. EliasOn
of Sanpete county for $8591S, -$76773
for grasshoppers killed, and $91.45 for
salary OF receiving agents. The latter
sum was divided as follows: J. N.
Jacobson $50; and C. R. Allerd, $16.95
for work done during June; j N. ia
cobson, $41.5O, services rendered dur
ing July The hoppers killed were
put at 1918 pounds, or little over
3S tons, enough to fill four boxcars.
The last legislature passed a law
giving bounty of one cent per pound
the state to pay two4thirds of q cent
and the county in which the 'hoppers
are killed to pay one-third, it being
optional with the counties whether
they take advantage of the act or not.
So far, Sanpete and Juab are the only
counties to avail themselves of the
provisions of the statute
The Sanpete county clerk is under
the impression that the state must
nay the entire bill, to which the state
auditor demurs, and calls upon the
attorney general for am opinion.
It is developed that in six weeks
1Os, ,6O7 pounds, or slightly over "a
tons of grasshoppers have been killed.

The Death. Penalty.

A little thing sometimes results IN
death. Thus mere scratch, insignifi-
cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. It is wise to have

NEW WOOL MARKET.
Buyers Promise to Visit Lewistown
Next Year.

Much rejoicing exists at Lewistown
at the prospects of a wool market for
the Fergus county capital next sea-
son. The Argus lis authority for the
statement that some of the buyers
who were at Great Falls this summer
have promised TO go there next year,
provided suitable warehouse is built.
The Montana Railroad company has
promised to do this and the Lewis
towners are happy in the anticipation
of big things i'm the way of wool sales
right at home when the next clip is
placed on the market.
AS the Argus truthfully declares,
the Fergus county wool is recognized
as the best average wool grown in
the state and the sale of it at home
will mean considerable for the town.
1t is expected that no less than 2,00O,-
900 pounds will be offered at Lewis
town, while promise lis made by grow
eus in the vicinity OF dorsey and Two
Dot to ship sample lots there if good
market is established and the railroad
makes reasonable rates, SO that they
cam afford to ship out again. If this
lis done it is estimated that the ag-
gregate of the Lewistown sales will
be between 100000 and 100000
pounds.

AS a Side Business.

Another proposition which We ex-
pect to carry on in connection with
the beet sugar business lis the fatten-
ing of cattle for the markets in Great
Falls, Helena, Butte and other places
in the state. In many places the
refuse from tho sugar mills has to be
hauled away at an expense, while it
is the best fattening material which
one could VIII secure. In connection
with our alfalfa fodder we will use the
crushed sugar beet after it has come
from the mill, and fatten equal to any
corn fed on the market anywhere.
We will probably put in an abattoir

FULL RIVERS
Heavy Rains Have Caused Floods
General.

Full rivers, rising beyond their banks
and covering thousands of acres, are the
reports from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas
and the states on the Mississippi below
the Ohio. And with these floods come
the pitiful recital of families abandoning
their homes for high land and leaving to
waste their accun1ulations of years of
toll and industry.
II this section the people residing. in
the Red river valley must contend with
the foods which are carried from the
vast territory drained into the red river
ard to this may be added smaller
streams, Of which Sulphur river is all
important.
In recording the floods by river there
IS little variations, ssene&l1at an old
story, familiar to the residents and the
people who have witnesses such disas-
ters. IF gauged by past experience, con-
ISOLATION may be drawn from the reflec..
ton that the water which will spread
over low lands not protected by levee
are limited in acreage as compared to
the millions of acres protected by levees
and which will, no doubt, give full pro-
lection. Orc feature of the rise in Red
river at this time is that while the upper
Red will soon be relieved the lower will
be more or less bankfull owing to the
height Of the Mississippi, which there
fore will check the flow which goes in
tie greatest volume down the Atchafa-
laya % tie Gulf of Mexico.
There IS also another feature which
we may view with encouragement, and
1T is fsie consideration of the fact that
The water. on low lands flooded and
which may be submerged will recede IN

JOHN BORDEN DROWNED

John Borden IS no more. He was
drowned Monday afternoon while striv

b 'bateau' His frail boat was carried
swiftly into an eddy or whirlpool and
dashed as suddenly into a lot of drift
wood, against which the boat was
crushed as an egg she'll In an instant
almost the unfortunate man disappeared
from view. His death has filled many
an eye with a tear He was a son of
Erin, one of Natures nobfernen, dia-
tnond in the rough. We knew Jorn Dor
den when he worked stations during the
construction of the New Orleans Pa
eifc railroad, and TO many he was
known as Black Jack. deriving this
aognomen from the number of black
jack trees he had felled and uprooted
while filing his contracts in the erec-
tion Of the road bed, the sections for
which he had contracts. He did his
work well and retired from this field
with little money accumulated for a
rainy day. He afterwards sustained
losses in ventures, but he was always
good natured and philosophical. In re-
cent years he was engaged in farming
and was doing well. He was always a
sfaunch friend of the Caucasian, and

hearty goodbye and good luck, Jack

LAST OF THE SEGNERS
A Delegate to the Secession Convention
of 1860 Passes Away.

Baton Rouge Truth, Feb 28: Mr.. Au-
gustus Talbot, an old resident of the
town of PIaquemine, died on Friday last
at the age of 50 years. He was, as the
Iberville South says, the last of the sur
vivors of those who signed the secession
ordinance in 1860, and for SO doing was
the victim of hatred on the part of car
pet baggers during reconstruction days.
Until the last few years he took great
interest in public aaffirs and filled many
of the most important positions In his
parish and State.
He came to the bar in 1885, and was
appointed district attorney by Governor
Isaac Johnson. This position he re-
signed. In 1852 he was a member of the
constitutional convention that framed the
constitution of that year. In 1852 he was
elected a member of the State Senate,
an served with distinction during the
feur-year term. He was delegate from
Louisiana to the celebrated Democratic
convention that assembled at Charleston,
S. c., in 1860, which led to a division of
the party on the slavery question. He
was delegate to the. secession conven-
ton in 1850, and at intervals presided
over that body. He also served as presi-
dent for four years Of the school board
under the administration of Governor
McEnery, and his interest in public edit
cation is attested today by several hand
some school houses he had erected. /.
At the bar he stood upon the highest
round of the ladder. His was an exalted
character, and in this community no one
commanded more profound respect.

thes interest of Republican harmony.
He established headquarters at Hotel
Richardson, where, prior to the joint
session of the legislature he. received
a delegation from each Republican fac.
tion. He advised the acceptance by. the
