Some Refreshment.

at Newport, told a story ar gar

ethical reasons he began, as old

FOREIGN BUYERS MANIPULATE

This extract from the New York
Journal Of Commerce suggests a
question of ethics and patriotism:
while there is not the same am
cunt of excitement In the grain
market as was current last season,
the export movement is very large.
But it is being carried on in much
more systematic way. 1t Is under
stood in the grain trade that the
purchases for the British ana French
governments are being made through
j, p. Morgan & CO., who in turn,
have enlisted the services of the Ar
mour Grain company. There is no
definite authority for this statement,
Notwithstanding that it is accepted
very generally. In advance of the
very recent reports that the allied
that the opening Of the Dardanelles
was task too expensive in life and
was to be abandoned, the bankers in
question and the Armour Grain com
pany were reported to have maze in
a quiet way large purchases of wheat
presumably anticipating rise in
price to result from the announce

Of the abandonment Of the Dardan-
elles campaign has not yet been
made officially
In other words, If it is true that

Sunday for Work on Levee

The Secretary Of the Interior has
appointed General William l.. Mar
shall, former chief engineer Of the
u. s. army, to have charge Of the
expenditure of the 100000 appropri-
ated by Congress for levee work, and
he will reach Yuma Sunday morning,
where he will be met by c. r. Rock
wood, general manager and chief ell
gineer of the Irrigation District, with
view to harmonizing the work to be
done by the government and the dis
trict in river control.
General Marshall made an exhaus-
tive report some time since to Secre-
tary Lane of the Interior Department
on the control of the Colorado river,
and was thoroughly familiar with the
situation as it was year ago. Since
then there has been some change in
conditions by the deposit of additional
silt in the Volcano Lake region. and
probably he will find it advisable to
somewhat amend his plans in conse-
quence.
Meanwhile the work on the levee
is proceeding rapidly with the large
force of men and teams sent to the
Volcano Lake country by the Irriga-
tiOn District.
