Startling reports from Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas about the reported grasshopper Invasion were received here yesterday. The grasshoppers cover an area of 4ii0 square mlloa where the Santa Fe Road ciosses the Colorado line. They aro young and not able tolly, but nre hopping eABtward at the rate of two miles per day. They will hnve ma tured hulllcleutly within two weeks to enable them to lly, and as it Is certuiu they will move in uu easterly direc tion, much damage is anticipated. Tho hoppers aro of a brownish yel low color und are n t readily seen from p.thslng trains because of their resem blance In' color to the soil and grass. Little damage has been done in thu region Infested by the hoppers,becauso few crops are grown thero, but pastur age Iihb been destroyed. The few ileitis ot corn, wheat and sorghum huve hem swept clean. Every west bound train that puses through tho swarm during the night is stopped. iur in the nietit, wtien it is com, tho rails are warm, and they cluster about the track, almost hiding the rails from view, and when a train attemnts to climb the up grade near Arlbba, Col., It Is like climbing a greased pole. Tlio driving wheels revolve but slide help lessly upon the rails. The vast area ol grasshoppers is made of the young of those that were in the region last year, una more anxiety Is felt because of the large in urease which Is certain to be hatched there next year than from any damage winch may no none this year.
