Hop,,ers Not bad in San Luis

"Grasshoppers are running much
thicker in the northern portion OF
the state than they are down south
farther. said Jack Thompson. .
farmer OF the San Luis country who
is in Greeley today.
Mr.. Thompson has come to this
country to visit his brother. who b
farming out in the western part OF
the county, He owns one of the
largest farms in the San Luis coun-
try.
He said this morning:
"The frosts have not been nearly
as heavy in the San Luis country -
they were in Weld county. The hop
pers we're thick all over the state
last year. much more so than they
were in any other part of the cOub-
try that | visited and there is every
indication that they will be as thfch
this year, such localities as are free
from them being more than compen-
sated for by their abundance in other
portions of the country.
"Organized methods are being
taken in the southern part Of the
state to fight them. principally by
the banding together and employing
a stated fund to purchase insect de-
stroying poisons
at does no good for one farmer to
get them off his place if his neighoof
is not doing similar work and unless
an organized effort is made there -
no use making any

Greeley at Last Win. u Game

Greeley took the game from the
LindQuist team of Denver on the
field yesterday by score of II to
4. The contest was marked by fair
work in the field particularly by
Greeley and occasional heavy hit
ting by Collins pets. The Lindquist
team seemed to be little off in the
field and the lace curtain effect in
the infeld at crucial times was re-
sponsible for several runs on the
part OF the Greeley men.
The crowd which witnessed the
contest was good and there is every
indication that similar crowd will
see Greeley and the Lindquists meet
today in this city in the second and
final game between the two teams.
Greeley evidenced the best form
both in the field and with the stick
that the team has shown this year
and the work which Manager Col
Inns has been putting the men
through for the past few days show
ed to advantage in favor of Greeley.
The teams lined up as follows:

Steel Trust Has
Option Pointing
That Way

News was current In a1Itimcre ye.
terday to the effect that another hi.
coal deal is pending, involving the
purchase Of eight thousand acres o:
valuable undeveloped seoaI lands sit,
uated in the Tygart Valley district 0,
West Virginia, @na owned by we'll
known coal company in which. it Is
reported shat Baltlmoreans hold
mere shan a milkcn4dollars' worth Of
capjtai stock.
One Of tile stockholders says the
Bs:timore Star stated yesterday tha:
the prospective purchaser ohta !nco a.,
option on the property some week,
ago and that this option expired On
the fifteenth day at this month. II is
believed that tn. option will he avail.
ed Of and that the properly will pass
into new hands. In case the deal does
through the stockholders will get con.
s'derably more than par for their
stock. Local stockholders refused to
disulge the nar1es of the PURCHASING
parties. further than to say That the
deal is being negotiated in Pittsburs.
and it is not unlikely that the Steel
Cooperation will eventually become the
ewner Of tie property. This belief II
strengthened by the fact that the
Pittsburyer that obtained the option
or the West Virginia property is said
to be relative OF Henry c. Friek. one
OF the heads Of the steel Trust.
II was explained to-day that tint
property had never been developed by
the company owning It. and that :: was
the purpose Of the prospective pur.
chassrs to make extensi;e improve.
ments on the land to provide for its
future development.
Should this latest deal 90 through,
"ithous a hitch, those ettcl,o have been
watching the eeal situation recently
ccafiientiy believe that plans are now
being formed te br",g about a big coal
merger. and that the land included IN
the pending deal will be embraced in
the contemplated consolidation. It is
predicted that the purchase Of the
property owned by the Georges Greek
Coal and Iron Company by the Jami.
son Coal Company is part Of this
scheme. and that the option on the
West Virginia coal land. in which Bal.
II ncreans are interested, is but a fur.
ther step to make the merger talk
effective.
I'VE do not know who will be the
real owners Of the property in which
we are Interested" said one of the
