WcSli and South Dakota
Waterways Studied by
University Man. vi
..
Professor E, F. Chandler,'head of
the civil engineering department of
the University of North Dakota re
turned this morning from a tour
through North and South Dakota
where he conferred with water way
observers and studied the various
streams and lakes.
At Stanton, N. D., he visited the.
new briquet plant where the lignite
coal deposits are being treated to
make fuel. Prof. Chandler believes
that the system Is now developing
out of the experimental stage and
that within a short time, stock will
be sold and the Industry developed
into a profitable undertaking. The
output is already large and so far the
process appears to be a big success.
Grasshopper Plight.
In the vicinity of Bowman, N. D..
a grasshopper plight has completely
destroyed all crops, Prof. Chandler
reports. In that district there are at
least twenty or thirty million grass
hoppers to the square mile, which has
brought destruction to all plant life.
It Is estimated that there is one grass
hopper to every square foot of
ground. Last year much damage was
done to ,the crops in that district, but
this season a total loss is reported.
Further damage next year Is antici
pated, as the plight usually covers a
•period of three years. Fear is also
entertained that the plight may ex
tend north into the Bed River Valley
and it is anticipated that some pre
"•"'Tentative measures will be taken.

controversy which has been brought
Into court there.
Sheriff A. F. Turner, formerly a

of a ditch for which he was awarded
the contract. Mr. Turner contends

obstinate members demanded its con
