FLOODS AND HURRICANES DO
IMMENSE DAMAGE In THE EAST

New York, Oct. 1.-THE fierce storm
that has swept the New York and New
Jersey coasts has prevailed on the in
terror of those states, and has caused
losses that will reach into the mil
lions. Ocean liners arriving at New

Atlantic, and it was with great diff

Paterson. N j.. Oct. 11.-With the
waters of the Passaic river falling at
the rate on an inch an hour above the
falls, and at double that rate below
them. apprehension of further great
disaster to the city from the flood has
almost disappeared, the sole question
being whether Spruce street hill. the
narrow embankment that holds the
water above the falls, can continue to
Withstand the strain until the river
recedes to its normal proportions.
At the height of the flood this hill
standing between the river basin above
the falls and the lower valley, was
caving rapidly into the gorge below the
falls. 1t was feared to-day that the
food would wash away the dyke and
precipitate itself in a huge wall upon
tLat portion of the city lying below.
A dyke but little wider than the
Spruce street roadway stood between
the city and disaster. but tonight it
was holding firm, and the police felt
reasonably sure of its permanancy

Arizona Sunshine.

To one who has been there, says Cas-
par W. Hodgson in Sunset Magazine,
the name Arizona. first of all, suggests
sunshine and plenty of it. Nowhere on
the globe is sunshine more abundant,
moro appreciated or more harmless. In
decd. sunstroke has never been re-
corded in this territory. Though all
good Arizonians have crossed the Has
sayampa river, which act, according
to tradition, divests one Of the power
to tell the truth. l believe their records
are accurate as to sunstroke. The ex-
PLANTATION is found in the fact that heat
is not so much matter Of thermome-
ter as of humidity.
The dry, hot air Of the Arizona desert
is invlgorating to the initiated. One can
learn to love the desert. There the sun
rises and sunsets are intensely beauti-
ful and nowhere on earth richer in col
or. This is sometimes called Sunset

ARE GOING AFTER
GRAIN EXPORTERS
Combination of Large Shippers
Is Reported,
KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA
Grain Shippers viii Export
Kansas Hard Wheat.

It was reported among the grain men
yesterday that the large shippers of
grain in southern Kansas and Oklahoma
are working up a combination or a sort
Of trust for the purpose of exporting
their own wheat, by way of the gulf
ports.
The millers in the hard wheat belt have
an organization and they have pushed
the Kansas hard wheat flour to the front
They formerly claimed that the hard
wheat was being taken to the Missouri
river and mixed in the elevators and
this mixture being sold for Kansas hard
wheat in the markets of the world had
q tendency and did discredit the gen
uine article. 1t is claimed that the mill
ers' organization. by putting the -four
on the market made from pure Kansas
hard wheat. have raised the price OF
the flour and also the price of the wheat.
and in this way while helping them
selves, they have helped the Kansas and
Oklahoma farmers
And now come the shippers, who de-
clare that they are going to force q fair
deal by exporting their own wheat They
claim that practically all the Kansas
hard wheat is exported by three or four
firms. and that these three or four firms
have formed a sort Of trust and are buy
ing the wheat too cheap. These big ship
pers in southern Kansas and Oklahoma
claim that the wheat they are handling
makes the best -four in the world and
that the grain men and millers here
ought 10 handle il to the best advantage
for this section Of the country.

seen yesterday. but while admitting that
there was a movement 10 secure an or
