The War Against Sand

From the Popular Science Monthly.
To make a successful fight against the
ever-moving sand dunes of the Columbia
river region and at other places along
the Pacific coast, the United States must
follow the plan adopted by France many
years ago. 1t must build one great dune
in an effort to eliminate many smaller
ones. This is the verdict of forest serv-
i've experts who have made world
wide study of sand dunes and methods
to combat them.
In the lower Columbia river valley,
both in Washington and Oregon, sand
dunes are destroying farms and orchards
and are changing country of great fertil-
ity into waste land. Bearing orchards
have been completely enguifed by dunes
and buildings have been buried to the
roof line.
A hundred years ago France was con-
fronted with a problem equally as seri-
GUS. More than 300 miles of coastline on
the Bay of Biscay was being blown in
land by the winds of the Atlantic ocean.
The most fertile portion of the country
was threatened. Eventually some one
hit upon a plan of building a great lateral
dune along the entire coast as means
of checking the movement of the sand.
About 70 years ago France set to work
on this great task. She only started the
building on the dune, however, Wnen
nature took up the work and completed
it.
Today great forest 100000 acres In
extent fringes the coast-line as the re-
suit of this initial experiment. 1t repre-
sents Frances greatest supply mouse or
turpentine and lumber. The country
living inland from it is rich and fertile.
The sand menace has disappeaded, and
it cannot return.

Charles Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 9.-(Special.)-Th
cotton market today had it's per cents
of ups and downs. Big selling occurred
before the publication of the govern
ment weekly weather report at noon
today, January sold down very quickly
from 1470c to 14.50c. Bull support
checked the decline al the latter figure
and in the closing hour the market
worked up to new high levels. Liquida-
tion at the close, however, caused
moderate setback. 1t is reported that
western interests were heavy buyers to-
day. This crowd has cleared up hand
somely on the recent sensational adj
vance in wheat. They have plenty of
money, experience market wise and
are aggressive 1t is possible that their
advent may fulfill our expectation as
expressed in our market letter of Sat-
urday last, that IL was possible for Jan
uary cotton to sell at Is cents this
week. However, in view of the recent
advance we are inclined to discourage
fresh comments on the long side. A
break in Texas and Oklahoma drouth
conditions would at once result in
heavy liquidation and a sharp decline
The weather map is the barometer to
watch. Haphazard speculation at pres
ent levels is dangerous. AS we said yes
terday. 1t is a market of big interests
and big men. Small operators would
do well to stay out and look on for the
time being. The oil market was a lit
tie easier this afternoon, we expect,
however, to see great activity and very
much higher prices shortly. We favor
purchases of December. We consider 1t
very cheap.

COTTON MARKET
IS VERY NERVOUS
Final Tone Barely Steady
With General List a Few
Points Higher

New York August 9.-The cotton mar
ket was extremely nervous and irregular
during today's trading. Resctionary SEN
timents were expressed more generally
around the ring, and after selling at 14.61e
on an early bulge December eased off to
14.42c, but this decline was followed by
very rapid advance of about $1.50 per
bale during the afternoon with that de-
livery selling at 1472c and closing at
A. SOC under renewed realizing. The final
tone was barely steady with the general
list net points lower to 3 points
higher.
Private cables reported that the ad-
vance in Liverpool had been checked
around the sgd level, and the market
here opened steady at a decline of Z to
Il points in response to relatively easy
cables. Houses with western connections
were good buyers, however, while there
was also considerable demand from
Wall street sources, and while realizing
was much in evidence, prices soon turned
steadier. Before the end of the first
hour Chicago interests were credited
with purchases of probably 10000 bales,
while January contracts had worked up
from 14.5Sc to 1470c or about to 4 points
above last nights closing figures.
A rather more favorable average of
private crop reports from both eastern
and western belt sections encouraged re-
dictionary sentiment and offerings in
creased the bulge with the selling
becoming still more active when it was
found that the weekly report of the
weather bureau was failing to stimulate
any immediate broadening of general de-
mand. New Orleans was a seller here,
while local traders were evidently dis
posed to take profits and prices broke
rather sharply during the noon hour with
January selling off to 14.50c and March
to 14.64c. Offerings seemed to be pretty
we'll taken on this decline of approx
mately q points from the high records
Of yesterday and following the pubica-
ton of the detailed weather report show
ing showers at only points in Oklahoma
and maximum temperatures of 100 degrees
and over, the market developed renewed
strength. Reports that railroad employees
would accept federal mediation stimu-
lated the demand which carried January
up to 14.7Sc or into new high ground fol
the movement and March to 1490c.

The Perfect Vacationist

From Golfers
When John Muir was up among his
mountains nothing else mattered. He
could roll out cheerfully after a night
in the rain, no wood dry enough to
burn for breakfast fire, eat a cold
snack with some mountain spring water
to flavor it, and go gladly on his way
through the soaking underbrush, his
heart fairly singing within him for the
mystic fragrances of the woods and the
music of the rain. He could get up in
the dead of the night when a more than
usually promising storm had thundered
In from the Pacific and leave his dry
shelter to build fire in an open space
that he might see the raging sway Of
the gale and hear it's tremendous SYM
phony. No cliff work or peak climb
ing, however severe, could blunt his
Joy in the marvellous blossoms of the
upper places. All this may sound like
bluff, but the reality of it is proved in
"a hundred passages, straight from the
heart that shine out in Muir's writings
with the CLEAN of pure gold set in
granite. No doubt he was an athlete,
gifted with a physical constitution be.
You'd the ordinary, but the deeper truth
of it is that the message of the natural
world, in which many of us pass but
dull days, had so gone home to John
Muir's soul that there was no place
there for the blight of WEAKNESS and
self-pity. He was alive. How many OF
US deserve vacation anyhow

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 9.-(Special.)
Judging from the movement of old cot
ton to market those who have held cot
ton for a long time in the south are
ready and willing to sell at the highest
prices in 40 years at this time of the
season. Any merchant will admit that
is good business transaction. Here the
market absorbed the sales and ad-
vanced to a new high level in the aft
ernoon on large buying from western
speculative sources. Close observers
think this demand was supplied at
least in part by those who have been
largely long. Meanwhile the local sem
timent is bu11ish. The private crop adj
vices are on the whole more favorable
and Liverpool reports offers from the
south stopped the advance abroad.
There is little OF no local short inter-
est, as bullish advices from Wall
street houses is the dominating factor
at the moment.

SENSATIONAL RISE
OF WHEAT PRICES.
United States Report of
Crop Losses Sends Wheat
Pit Wild With Advance

Chicago, August 9.-Feverish excite
ment, the equal of which has not been
seen on the exchange since the out
break ofthe European war. resulted to-
day in nearly vertical rise of 11S4c a
bushel for wheat. Practical certainty
appeared to have been reached that
both in the United States and Canada
crop losses this season would be many
million bushels greater than had been
generally supposed. The market closed
wild at 1875 @10as net advance with
September $1.44A @1.441a and December
s1.4S@1.4S3s. Corn gained Ia @1Ac to
15c and oats. e a 1c1to 1hc. In provis-
ions the outcome ranged from SC de-
cline to an upturn of SOC.
Notwithstanding that under ordinary
conditions, jump of more than &c
bushel overnight would be deemed UNI
usual for wheat, the market today
leaped SC in the first minute after
trading began. United States govern
ment crop figures issued the evening
before indicated that damage, especial
ly in the Dakotas and Minnesota had
beeen minimized trade authorities to
surprising extent, This fact would be
in itself have led to a big upward
swing in values but dealers were also
confronted with knowledge that the
government estimates We're based
largely on returns made about July g.
before the full amount of injury had
developed. In addition, advices today
pointed to black rust conditions in Can
ada becoming rapidly worse and to
consequent increased anxiety on the
part of European buyers.
Highest prices of the day were
reached in the wheat pit just before the
close. The immediate incentive for the
latest bulge was word that export bust
ness amounting to 100000 bushels had
been done, not counting big foreign
purchases of options for future deliv-
cries.
Corn was chiefly ffected by the bull
sh nature of the government report as
to corn. Besides there were damage
reports from Iowa, and it was said also
that European requirements of corn
from the United States would be larger
than had been expected. Oats derived
strength principally from the action
of other cereals. Threshing returns
were unfavorable.
Provisions averaged higher owing to
advances in the value of grain and
hogs Packers were said to have taken
to the buying side and especially so in
lard.

There were also sales of 10000 bags OF
Porto Ricos in port at equivalent to o.hc
for centrifugal. At the close there were
further offerings at these prices, but re-
finers apparently were in no need OF
sugar, owing to the poor demand Tor
refined and the undertone was unset

cost and freight. Aside from a decline
of 10 points by one leading refiner, there
were no further changes in granulateH
but trading was very quiet, owing 10
the unsettled condition in raws. Country
buyers were not inclined to antipicate,
until the market becomes more settled
and consequently business is only of
hand to-mouth character Prices are now
listed on the basis of 7.25c for fine granu-
Ia ted by all refiners.
