immense burning wastes of loose and
moving sand, with tracts of barren
rock, stony plains of gravel and elevat-
ed and rocky plateaus rising into
mountains, with extensive valleys and
expanses Of sand between. Some of the
valleys are depressed below the level
or the ocean. Under the influences of
meteorological conditions operating for
centuries the particles composing the
sandstone and other rocks are disinte-
grated and these particles carried away
Dy the mighty wind that sweeps the
soil, wander afar until they come to a
standstill in the hollows. Such Is the
origin OF the extensive sandy tracts of
which the accompanying illustration
gives good idea. In these belts or
strips the sand halting against the
smallest obstacles accumulates around
them and generally the downs thus ere
ated assume the form of the waves of
the sea, their fall and motion being
with the direction of the prevailing
wind.

run their automobiles to the consterna-

camels. A strange contrast indeed it
must be to see the motor car of civiliza-

In the event that 1t becomes neces-

Washington, May 9.-It now be-
gins to look very much as though
Senator Charles A. Culberson has the
best chance of being chosen minor
ity leader in the senate next Decem-
her. According to report Senator
Culbcrson now claims he has enough
pledges from democratic associates
to secure his election.
Senator Culberson is now serving
his second term in the upper branch
of the national legislature and there
are few members of that body of
wider political experience. He has
been in public life continuously since
1880, in which year he was elected
attorney-general of Texas. Subse-
quently he served four years as gov
ernor of his state and he has been
in the senate since 1899. At the last
two democratic national conventions
he has served as chairman of the
Texas delegation. He comes by his
inclination for politics naturally, as
his father was member of congress
from Texas for 22 years.
With congress in long session just
prior TO the presidential campaign
Senator Culberson, as minority lead
or, would have unusual opportunity
for focusing the attention of the
country upon his party.

which developed into a complete rout
of Mayor Daggett and his followers.
out of total vote of approximately
10000, he was elected by plurality
of 1874. The socialist vote for mayor
was 292.
That It was not essentially a party
victory is proven by the fact that Dag

a plurality of 1909 and the latter by
one of 219.
Republican councilmanic candidates

ond ward where Councilmen Baldwin
and Gray, democrats, were reelected.
The new council will be evenly divid-
ed between the machine and the re-
form forces until the second five coun-
cilmen-elect take office in 1908, when
the reform forces will have a majority
OF Z to 8.
The proposition to bond the city for
100000 for the construction of new
bridges and all four of the proposed
charter amendments were carried by
substantial majorities.
One of these amendments provides
