VILLAGE BLOTTED OUT
BY SHIFTING SANDS.

Not alone volcanoes, floods and cy-
clones show the inability of man to
cope with the aroused forces of ma
ture, as recent dispatch from Los
Angeles, Cal, show.
Just across the mountains to the
east of Redlands, Cal, in the Mojava
desert, lies the village of Indio, a sta
ton on the Southern Pacific railway.
Two years ago it was surrounded by
an arid waste of sand. Nothing grew
there-not even sage brush. 1t was
as desolate and dreary a waste as
Death Valley, 100 miles to the north
east.
Someone put down an artesian we'll
and found abundant water short dis
tance below the surface. Other wells
were sunk Water was turned on the
land and the desert began to blossom.
Land which had been worthless began
to sell at all the way from $40 to 500
per acre.
And this land grew anything. 1t pro-
duced melons every month in the year.
1t grew alfalfa six crops yearly. Any
thing that was planted produced huge
crops. Indio was the center of a fer
tile and fruitful district.

RAPID GROWTH OF MOSCOW
Russian City Will Soon Rank Will
the Largest in Europe.

Russian City Will Soon Rank With
the Largest in Europe.
The population of Moscow shows a
remarkably rapid increase. Within
the comparatively short period of 80
years the number of inhabitants has
just about doubled. At the time of the
French invasion in 1912 the urban
Muscovites numbered about 100000,
although the official returns were 252,-
900. In 1871 the official census gave
the population as 100000, in 1882 it
was 10000, and according to the
reckoning now completed the historic
capital contains 1,173,500 Inhabitants,
thus taking the tenth place among the
most populous cities of the world.
Moscow covers an area of 101 square
kilometers, or only two kilometers less
than that of st. Petersburg. Area is
not, however, by any means a general
criterion, in questions of population, as
appears from the fact that whereas
London, with the largest population
of any city in the world covers 303
square kilometers, New York, with a
population numbering more than a
million less than that of the British
metropolis, has total area of 795
square kilometers. The population of
Moscow is less dense than those OF
st. Petersburg, Glasgow, London, Ber'
lin and Paris.

Two or three weeks ago the desert
wind began to blow. It. had blown
often before and the people Of indio
were not alarmed. This time, how
ever, it continued to grow in strength
Fine particles of sand filed the air,
and still the people were not alarmed.
They had had sandstorms before. But
not this kind of sandstorm. The
wind grew fiercer and fiercer, rolling
clouds of sand before it and finally
swooping up whole acres Of it and
hurting it upon the cultivated fields
and fruitful gardens of Indio.
At the end Of three days. when the
desert wind ceased, the whole culds
waited region was once more an arid
desert, buried under sand many feet
deep. Not green thing was spared.
Everything had been obliterated by
the fierce breath of the simeon. The
jealous desert had claimed its own
again. Crops, irrigation bitches and
Improvements valued at over $1,000.

Not an Idle Youth.

Louis w. Hill, son of James J. Hill,
railroad king of the Northwest, is be-
ing carefully trained to take up the
work of his father. He and his BROTH
er James are both graduates of Yale.
They have gone through every depart
ment of the Great Northern road, from
the construction work to the executive
Offices, spending six months or year
in familiarizing themselves with each
and obtaining practical knowledge Of
the methods which have been used
with such enormous success by their
father. Louis hopes he will live to see
the day when the railroad world will
say of him as they now say of his
father: "You must either agree with
