without warning and g large crowd Inn
mediately congregated about the huge
pile of dirt and gravel. The report
gained circulation that some one had
been caught in the slide and had been
buried beneath but there was no one
who would substantiate this statement
and 1t IL very improbable that anyone
was in the vicinity Of the slide at that
hour. The slide 10 piled up over q
large space Of ground covering the rear
excavations for the new buildings and
will require considerable work to re-
move the gravel. It 10 estimated that
the loss attendant on the unexpected
slide will reach $1,000 az It win require
the clearing Of the ground and may
necessiate change Of plans Of the
building besides. About eight o'clock
another slide occurred which brought
down tons more Of rock and gravel.
From the present indications II looks
as II the slides had not ceased.
The contractors Of the building could
not be seen this morning but it was
learned that no attempt would be made
to remove the gravel slide until plan
had been decided on for eliminating
the danger of more OF the Hill from
falling away and injuring someone.

here as it will furnish q means Of pro-
lection to them 1t means q great deal
to the mjllers when they are able to
buy wheat for future delivery. for that
gives them an opportunity to quote
prices on hour for future delivery with
the knowledge that they are protected.
The problems Of transportation and
legislation are matters that can always
be handled better by . committee from
some representative body than by in
dividuals.
although I have not yet thoroughly
investigated the matter 1t looks very
much to me az though the farmers
should receive at least 10 cents bushel
more for their wheat than they are
now getting ana the cost to the, con-
sumner Of -four will not necessarily be
Increased. II financial assistance IL
needed to get the project under way
am ready to furnish the money and
have also offered the grain men the
use Of my wires so that they may have
direct connection with the other grain
markets of the world.
$50 far as the farmer Is concerned
there IL absolutely nothing on which to
base prices in this immense wheat
growing district. With an ofncial
grain exchange. handling other grains
AZ well an wheat. the farmers can get
their Official quotations every day and
every person connected with the grain
business will have better conditions
on which to base their movements.
"There are many things involved In

In proper shape win take some time
