"'GrasShoppers in various locall
ties are reported Matched n natch
ing in myriads. In the grain section
of Meagher county. in the PrlcKl!
Pear valley and elsewhere, the pests
have shown their destructive IN
~stincts, d%evouring the wheat n al
kinds of young vegetation. Farmers
are flooding their fields, and millions
of the insects in this name are
swept away. Their methods are adopt
ed to combat the encroaching insects
the most effective, perhaps, being
that of scattering straw in the line OF
approach, setting fire to the same
and smuggling the hoppers to a help-
less state, or burning them to a roast.
Every product of the soil promises
this year to find an active home de-
mand and it is to be hoped that the
farmers will exhaust every means in
their power to ward off an enemy
active in ~dissipating the fruits of an
important industry.'@Quoted by the
Denver News of June IL, 1878, from
the Helena Herald.)
Games Fergus writes us from near
Helena that in the spring of this
year, particularly in the lowest val
leys, the eggs and young locusts were
destroyed by the cold, snowy, freez-
ing weather. Late in the spring fol-
lowing an early warm spring, locusts
appeared on Smith river, doing, how
ever, little or no harm. On the Up
per Missouri river they did great
damage to the late sown wheat. On
Middle creek it is STATED that fully
one-fourth of the entire crop is des-
troyed by hoppers.
Migrate to Utah
From the facts here presented it
will be seen that the locusts which
bred in the spring of 1878 in the up
per Missouri, Gallatin, Prickly Pear
valleys, and about Bozeman, con
stituted the swarms which from the
middle of July to the end of August
over the divide at Pleasant
into eastern Idaho, and the
Cache and Malad valleys of Utah,
and passed south to the region about
Salt Lake.
ut thus appears that the locusts
bred in central Montana in the
of 1873 Matched from eggs
laid in that region late in the sum-
mer of 1877 by swarms which came
over the Belt mountains from the
and adjacent valleys ly-
to the south.
lowing to the vigilance and activ-
ty of the farmers of central Montana
damage done was light. The
following extracts from the Rocky
Mountain Husbandman will show
low the young u%nwinged locusts
we're met and vanquished:
"'Steve Howes, near Bozeman,
las rugged up a machine to catch the
5rasshoppers in a bag. On Tuesday
morning last, while the hoppers were
numb and chilled, he ran the ma
thine over eight acres of ground and
hauled in five bushels of them. He

prospect now of this section suffer
ing from the locust in 1880, unless
by incoming swarms in July or Aug
ust.'
"Chauncey Barbour, editor of the
Weekly Muscular, reports that
there were no locusts in the Missoula
valley in 1877, or 1878, or 1879.
William r. Wheeler writes:
81 have travelled all over Mon
tana this year, and it gives me great
pleasure to state that | have seen or
heard of nc migratory Iocusts or
grasshoppers this year. Our crops
have not been injured by them in the
slightest degree. Some doubt about
our having them next year, because
there are no visible deposits Of eggs
wv. G. Gillette writes from Dear
born, Lewis and Clark county:
II have been during the summer
in that section of Montana lying je-
tween Helena and Sun River, and
J. have neither seen nor heard of any
locust flying over or qlighting in this
region: in fact, the native grasshop-
.pers were very scarce compared with
previous seasons. l have not heard
of any damage caused by the locust
in other parts of the territory. My
opinion is that VIC shall have several
years of freedom from this plague.

Urged Co operation With Canada
~. S. Woodman, territorial audi
tor, writes from Helena:
Gas this is the only year since
1872 that Montana has been exempt
from injury from locust, it appears
probable there will be another
immigration here in $780,
After having considered in very
great detail the habits, sources of
infestation of the locusts and the
successes alTeady attained in meth
DDS of eradication the commission
then took up the question of:
in what way, then, can the ma
tional government help to bring
about the desired RESULT" replying
to the self-imposed questions as fol-
lows:
There are, it seems to us, seven
ways in which government action is
possible, viz: /. BY encouraging set
Element; 2. By encouraging the build
ing of railroads; 8. BY broad schemes
Of irrigation; 4. By guarding the
present timber and encouraging the
planting of forests; 5. BY judicious
burning; 6. BY a permanent system
of observations and warnings; Z. By
cooperation with the Dominion gov
eminent (Canada) in these various
measures"
Thus it will be seen that while the
commission advocated a
number of measures which are en-
tirely foreign to the present system
combating the propagation and
migration of the grasshopper, it saw
the necessity of cooperating with the
government to the north of the in
ternational boundary line, just as the
present grasshopper eradication for
,es are doing.

DOPE PEDDLINC
IS DECREASING
REPORT OF NARCOTIC LAW EN-
FORCEMENT AGENTS SHOWS
NATIONAL SITUATION.
Fifty Percent of Drugs Consumed by
'Fiends'' in United States Is Snug
gled Into This Country Says FEEDER
al Prohibition Com. Haynes.

A great decrease in the activities
of drug traffickers in Montana the
last year is reported by Louis j.
Guerra, federal narcotic Inspector
He praises the cooperation of city
and county officials throughout the
state. A statement recently issued by
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Roy Haynes gives some idea of the
results accomplished by the federal
anti-narcotics agents operating under
the Harrison act.
The Statement.
1.-THE Harrison act, while primarily
a revenue law, was eve intended
as a revenue producing measure, but
for each of the last five years the
money turned into the treasury as the
result of fines and penalties, under
this law has far exceeded the annual
congressional appropriation of $780,
600 and at no time has the cost of
enforcement equaled the appropria-
ton.
During the fiscal year 1928 a to-
tai of 1901 criminal cases were made,
93.6 per cent of those already tried
resulting in convictions and prison
sentences aggregating 1892 years 6
months and 81 days. This is in adj
dition to 29,776 civil cases reported,
all of which was accomplished with
an average of ITO men, the limit the
smaller appropriation will permit,
who are allocated among Is divisions
into which the United States, Hawaii
and the territory of Alaska are di-
vided.
There are on record in the United
States at the present time 286,465
physicians, dentists, druggists, whole
sale dealers, manufacturers and i'm
porters of narcotic drugs, all Of
whom are under close surveillance by
the federal authorities, in order that
narcotic drugs imported and man
ufactured are sold and dispensed ex-
cept as contemplated by the law. All
dealers are required to keep an ac-
curate record of sales and submit a
sworn report to the Washington of
flee each month showing the drugs
sold.
Consumption Decreases.
Suppression of the traffic in mar
drugs since the passage of the
Harrison act in December, 1914, has
resulted in the per capita consump-
tion of opium having decreased from
SO grains to z grains, in morphine
equivalent rs of one grain, while the
per capita consumption of cocaine is
IA of n grain.
"It is estimated that from SO to so
per cent of the various narcotic drugs
consumed in this country by the or
dope fiend,' or drug addict
Ire struggled into the country across
,ur international borders and through
he various ports of entry on our
To cope with this problem
would require a force several times
arger than that now available"

Wanted to See Country.

Miss Thingelstad left her home.
stead at lone, Washington, eight
years ago. She had a strong deter
mination to see the country, but
had no money with which to fl
nance the journey, SO she decided
to save railroad fare by riding
horseback, and she has literally
worked her way" across the
length and breadth of the land. She
left lone, a little village, 100 miles
from Spokane, and rode to Seattle
and down the coast to southern
California, into Old Mexico and
across Texas and the Gulf states
to New Orleans. Travelling north,
Miss Thingelstad spent some time
in Virginia, and from there went
to the Atlantic coast, working to
Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, New York, Albany and many
other eastern cities. She came west
through the central states, arriving
at Colorado Springs last summer.
She left Encampment, Wyo., Sept.
10, coming up by way of Lander
and Jackson Hole country, and ar
rived in Butte Oct. 22, having
walked most of the way, because
her horse was saddle sore.
Miss Thingelstad is a native of
Norway. She is tall, strong and
courageous, and says that there is
nothing she likes as we'll as travel
ing, and that the scenery appears
lovelier from the back of a horse
than from any other point of view.
When she reaches home, Miss
Thingelstad will write a tale of her
peregrination. And if she is sue
cessful in selling it she plans to
start out again to visit the Is states
which she missed this time. Dur
ing the years she has been away
she has worked at many occupa-
tions in divers places. During the
war she was employed in munitions
factories, and she has packed hops,
gathered and packed fruit, worked
as telegraph operator, as a waitress
and chambermaid in hotels, travel
ed with a show, worked on a ranch,
and earned her living and that of
her splendid horse, in many cities
and many states. During thou
sands of miles on the road, Miss
Thingelstad had not one unpleasant
experience.
Everyone has been good to me-"
she said, land although we hear
much about the hospitality of the
south and the open-handedness of
the west-and I encountered them
eastern people were also
good and kind to me, and | believe
that no self-respecting woman need
be afraid to travel alone in any
state in the Union"

The average American man has
less discrimination about food than

realizes the art in cookery, he will
find himself paying for the college
education of his delicatessen mer-
chants son."
Men of other countries are not so
tolerant when it comes to their food,
Jacques has learned.
They're Very Particular.
"The Frenchman is most particu-
lar" he went on. His food always
must be correctly served and deli
cately favored. The French wife
must be a good cook to hold him.
Next to the Frenchman, the Italian
is most particular. The Englishman
cares less for variety, but what he
likes he is very fastidious about. Scan
dinavian women must know how TO
prepare hundreds of fancy and intri-
cate dishes to please their husbands
palates. Only the American wife can
do as she pleases."

, assured me indifference would have
stifled his creative ability.
SO to any husband who would re-
vive the home-cooked meal, he adj
vises a little judicious campaign of
appreciation, and to any woman who
wishes to reclaim a lost husband, he
advises mastery of the following dish

Sole au Gratin.
Remove the skin from sole and
clean it carefully SO that no blood re-
mains inside, then place on baking
dish that can stand the fire. Put
salt and pepper on both sides, and
chop two or three shalots and lit
tie parsley, and spread over the fish.
Then sprinkle with bits of butter and
and a layer of bread crumbs. Cook
and serve it on the same dish.

Cut a shoulder of veal into small
cubes and then put them into a stew
pan in which you have melted me-
diminished piece of butter. When it
has Drowned slightly, add some chop
ped parsley and an onion, a couple OF
tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste.
Stew for an hour and half over q

put the vegetables and meat liquor
through a strainer and use as sauce
to pour over the meat
Omelet au Fromage.
Allow two eggs for each person
and beat them lightly with fork
for minute or more in a bowl with
salt and pepper. Add two or three
spoonfuls of grated gruyere cheese,
mix it well with the eggs and pour
onto a buttered pan-where the but
ter is just hot enough to steam. A
second or so later pass a fork around
the side of the pan TO loosen the eggs
and work them back as though you
were scrambling them. Fold one side
onto the other and slide it on the
dish so that the one-half finishes the
cooking of the other as it rests on it.

LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO MIR.
F JOSEPH GRAVES HAM
a.. lLTON
NY DEAR HUSBAND:

NY DEAR HUSBAND:
/ am getting very much diScour-.
aged over LeSnes condition. 1 know
the other day when you were here
she had u little flicker VI interest Us
you came in, but after she had first
seen you, You remember, she never
seemed much interested III you again.
We are taking her TO Gonzales
cent home tomorrow, and the doctor
has suggested if she gets no better
that should try aud find little new
baby for Leslie and Jack TO adopt.
vi course 1 do not know how TINS Is
going to work, Joe. Personally, would
feel very much as though some one
had physically hurt lie II they put an
other baby in my arms Just after
had lost our boy, you know. But you
never can tell just what will be the
outcome of thing Of this kind.
Poor John. / am very sorry for
him. He is almost as thin as Leslie,
and he has always hunted look upon
his face, as though be We're worried
almost TO death. / tried to make him
think it would be a good thing if he
would 20 out of town and leave Leslie
" anu hui &C y sAtAthAAuAl1 bhN
he won't hear of such thing. He
seems to think Leslie needs him even
il it breaks his heart when he comes
in and she scarcely opens her eyes TO
look at him.
q / will write you tomorrow after we
have gotten Leslie settled in the con-
valescent. home. | have arranged for
her to have whole suite of rooms.
This afternoon for the first time she
spoke to me in more resigned tone
about her baby. She has hardly
mentioned it, as yet, to Jack. | have
tried to get Jack to ask her about it.,
for you know she seemed to think
that JACK did not want the baby and
she had kept it secret that she was
going TO have one until the accident.
/ almost feel that by some perver-
sion of mind she rather blames Jack
for the baby's death. You know what
queer ideas one will get, at such
times.
Sydney Carton was up here yes
terday.I had a long talk with him.
Joe, / like that young man very much.
He is perfectly devoted to John and
