KEEPS SAND FROM SHIFTING
Common Sea.Rush Employed with
Good Effect on the Shore Of
Cornwall, England.

james White of Ontario, who late
ly asked a London newspaper If any
one could suggest remedy for shift
ing sand-hOw, in fact, to anchor it
has had many replies. The trouble
of drifting sand is far more common
than one would suppose, and the only
remedy suggested is, to plant some
kind of tree or root that will take
firm hold and prevent the drifting. On
the banks of the Suez canal 1t was
/. found that planting various kinds OF
tamarisks, mingled with the herbace-
GUS plants such as the orach or alta,
was successful. In Denmark the COM
mon bramble has been used. Bengal
fir trees and other trees have pre-
vented the encrOachments of the des-
ert sands driven by the wind. Those
who have seen the effect In Cornwall
of the tiny, delicate particles of sand
after even one night of wind, changing
the whole aspect of the foreSh0re, may
be thankful that at the end of the
Eighteenth century remedy was
found, the common sea-rush called by
Mr.. Hudson "Psamma arenaria," which
on the towens, or hillocks, formed by
the sand, grows and spreads and
clothes the yellow hollOws and wave,
like hills to their SUBMITS with Its
pale, sere-looking, gray-green tussocks
Other naturalists have spoken of it
Ray among the number, and HalllwelI
calls it 1.-THE Arundo arenaria of Lin
naeus," or, as some have 1t, "Calama
grostis arenaria," which now grows
over the buried village and ancient
church of Lelant and the traditional
castle of Theodore, king Of Cornwall

TAXICAB COMPANY WILL,
ENTER FREIGHT BUSINESS

The Fredericktown-S Louis Taxi
cab Company is entering the freight
as we'll as the passenger business be-
tween here and St. Louis, two large
REQ trucks having been bought and
put into service last week.
Mr.. Bess, the manager, closed con-
tracts several days ago with the st.
Louis papers by which he makes all
deliveries from St. Louis to all points
south to this place. The plans call
for leaving St. Louis at l o'clock in
the afternoon with the Star, Post-Dls-
patch and Times, arriving here at Z
in the evening. With the Globe-Dem-
ocrat a truck leaves at 2 o'clock in the
morning, reaching here ut $3.50. This
gives excellent service and brings the
newspapers to all points on the route
quicker than any service heretofore
offered.
The Sunday papers will all reach
here at $3.50 in the morning. The
weight of all Sunday papers leaving
st. Louis for points on the taxicab
line amounts to about 10000 pounds,
$50 arrangements have been made for a
st. Louis transfer company to bring
a large amount of the tonnage as far
as DeSoto, where the weight will be
sufficiently reduced for the two Rec
trucks to handle it the remainder OF
the way.
just at the present time the taxicat
company is not looking for south
bound freight as the papers will about
tax it's capacity. However, strong
bid is being made for northbounC
freight. Mr.. Bess states that hi
will guarantee rate to st. Louis no
to exceed the present express rates
He expects to handle all the eggs
cream. and similar express shipments
and make the proposition attractiv,
to the shippers. For the present al
freight and express will be received
at the basement of the E. H. Bes
store, but after the postoffice moves
its present quarters will be utilized TO

There was quite bit os social life

There was quite a bit oS social life here.
 The Russians gave DO end of dln- ners and dances. The whole town Is invited to each one, and they made an intoxicating drink out of flour and sugar and yeast that would kill at hundred wards. This drink flowed freely. and lot of them were soon rennered helpless. This is the great est tea.drinking country in the world; am sure of that. Any time, day or night, tbat anyone drops in, YOU are supposed to serve tea, and I've had as many as ten tea parties in one day. When we first arrived aod were more or less of curiosity all l did was to serve tea. E,en the natives must be served with tea. especially when you are connected with u trading concern, as we were One old native drank, 1T cops at one sitting.
 This winter number of prospect ing and mining parties are going out. We are going. and have fiue outfit, power boat for summer travel and a dog team for winter. We are awfully pleased at the outlook. We have a temporary permit to mine from the government here. which is of course only committee of men appointed by the people and not in touch with Cen tral Russia. But if we can mine couple of years we ,sheuld worry whethersthe permit is froms Moscow or not There is undoubtedly gold here. Even the natives hring it in, and they know really nothing about working it. We are going to mine that was opened during the czar's regime and in one summer several Scandinavians took out 5000. They were stopped, of course, and since thens it hasn't been touched. Joe hasa dandy fellow with him, and they have the best outfit going out of here.
