Abstract
"The crickets have made their appearance in Okanogan and Douglas counties in great numbers. They visited these sections last year but they were not as numerous as at present. They made their appearance near the headquarters of the Okanogan and stripped the country all the way down, even carrying their depredations into the Wenatchie country. J. H. Thompson tells how they visited his place. The night before his ranch was ravished there wasn't a cricket to be seen, but when he got up in the morning they were myriads of them and they swept over sixty acres of grain, leaving total devastation in their wake."
