TWo.SToRY LAKE IN MEXICO
salt water IN This Marvellous
Phenomenon.

one OF the wonders Of Mexico is the
self-producing lake near Salinas station
on the rampico division OF the Mexican
Central railway, seventy-two miles west
OF San Luis Potosi II may well be
termed two-story lake. for at times
there is a lake OF fresh water everything
the salt lake. A watertight roof OF green
mud separates the fresh from the salt
water.
For large part OF the year there Is
no fresh water lake there. The sun licka
IL up soon after the rainy season Is over.
The salt secured from the lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about slxty-five years. The whole
town Of 5,0oO makes its living from the
salt.
The property Is owned BY a family on
estate. but Il Is said that not one OF the
owners has lived there for years. The
ole residence OF the owners Is still stand
ing at Salinas. It's massive walls and
towers and turrets give the place a re
semblance to fort or feudal castle New

Douglas of this city, Mr.. Browne throws
an interesting light on the economic and

the absence OF signs Of serious distress

"As matter OF fact. throughout all

former oppressive landlords for the last

hardly given blow. Not being handi-
capped by a highly specialized industrial
system they flow back to the land at the
first opportunity.
Monterey, a much larger city than
Tampico, was equally as orderly. Bis
business there was none. The large

was slack, but the town was as clean az

ELEVATORS ARE FILLING UP
Local Storage Space is Being Rap
idly Occupied with Grain.
LOCAL TRADERS ARE BUYERS
Laying In Heavily on Cash and De-
cember Option and selling All
May Contracts Then Can
Dispose OF.

With the embargo complete on the ex-
portation of grain TO countries in Europe,
Omaha elevators are rapidly filling with
wheat. corn and oats. AS soon as the
deliveries are made on the August sales,
II Is expected that within thirty days
thereafter, in the event the embargo is
not lifted, practically all the storage ca
pacity In Omaha territory will have be-
come occupied
At this time the stocks in storage are
as follows: Wheat. 100000 corn. $4,000;
oats, 23l 900 bushels. on the correspond
ing date OF last year the stocks were;
Wheat. $4,000; corn, 10000; oats. Ss2, 900
bushels.
Omaha receipts today were; Wheat,
ninety; corn, sixty, and oats, fifty-one
carloads Omaha cash prices on wheat
we're s5qs6 cents.
Local Traders Buying.
Local traders continued heavy buyers
of cash and December wheat and were
Just as heavy sellers OF May. They fig
ured out that there was big money deal
ing In the actual grain and few OF them
took any chances on speculation. For in
stance, IL they bought loo or more BUSH
els OF cash. or December wheat. they
sold the same quantity of May.
The September option opened in Chicago
at % cents. which was low for the day,
and went to A%. December started off
at 92ls. which was the low. and climbed
to 9ss;, while May kept within fluctua-
ton Of cents. 1t opened at $1.O5h. the
low price of the Saturday short session.
and went as high as $1.01ls.
There are lot OF Omaha grain traders
who are taking the cue from Armour
and whenever cash wheat sells around IS
cents here. or when December drops to
80 cents, or below. they buy. Then, when
the December options reached 81 or ebove.
or when the May passes $1.O7, they sell.
They figure that the carrying charge. in
Guiding handling and insurance, is about
cent per month per bushel and on this
basis they conclude they have a sure
profit on all the deals.
