OCEAN BEACH
WASHED AWAY

San Francisco. Jan. ia shift in
the wind yesterday began to calm the
breakers that for a week have been
hurting themselves OF Ocean Beach
below the cliff house until it is now
almost urecognizable to the countless
thousands familiar with its old con-
tours.
The beach itself has vanished. The
sea has eaten away the sands to the
foot of the ocean boulevard and in
places has begun to undermine the
roadway. Rains have added the waves
and the rock hewn road leading up to
the Cliff house has In spots started
to slide into the sea and in others has
been partly blocked by slides Of earth
and rock from Sutre Heights above.
The concrete bulkhead protecting
the three story marine observatory
opposite the life saving station has
been battered to bits and is liable to
collapse at any moment.

mention of his death. Yet by the
standards Of success which the pass
ing generation worshiped, Appleby
was one Of the greatest geniuses in
the country, for at his death. in his
Goth year, he left a fortune of $780,
100. 600.
It was sixty-six years ago that APP
pleby, a young lawyer from Jersey,
entered New York city in search of a
career. He at once specialized In the
laws Of real estate and formed a con
nection with the American agent Of
Louis Philippe, the deposed king of
France. One or two deals in city prop
erty successfully pulled off in this
connection gave him a small sum of
free money as working capital; and
that was all the start he needed.
In the years which followed Apple
by studied the trend Of population and
watched for bargains in city lots. He
always paid cash n sold or held as
his judgment decreed. He made some
losses, but in the main he gambled on
a sure thing. for every baby born In
New York, every person attracted
thither added to the pressure on land
values and put money in his pocket.
His speculation in land made no
the general welfare. 1t was wholly,
sordidly, selfish. The gains he made
were al the expense Of the communi-
ty. The community made this wealth
and he took it. Yet the money did
him little good. He was not known in
public affairs. He had few intimates
and fewer friends. And now he sleeps
in a little lot in Greenwood cemetery,
the smallest parcel of e estate he
ever owned, and in a little while not,
a O will remember that such a man
ever lived.
And they used to call such a career
successful.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Wheat: Sustain
ed a sharp decline from closing prices
of last night and has ruled steadily
under yesterdays level. The news has
been decidedly against holders. Flour
business is exceedingly dull n buy
Crs not greatly concerned.
Export business ~relegated to the rear
today and foreign bids out of line.
The n argument now put forth by
believers in higher prices is the mild
weather being experienced throughout
the belt.
Corn: Has weakened with wheat
and closed with a loss of a cent a.
bushel for the day. The weakening
influence are the free country move
ment, continued indifference on part
of buyers and liberal Argentine ship
ments. The leading short interest
continued to sell corn openly but ap-
parently was accommodating May ON
all declines. The continued mild
weather is distinctly against higher
values, but in view Of the Outstanding
short interest we favor sales of de-
ferred futures on all GOOD upturns,
Oats: Lost hc in price and never
were able to regain them. closing
