Liverpool Bidding Gives
Strength. to Wheat Market
Over Here

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-Higher quota
tions at Liverpool and a generally
firm stock market gave strength to
the wheat market here today. Com
mission houses soon became active
and general buying, carried values
up. This advance, however, was met
with increased offerings, especially
from houses with eastern connec-
tions and reaction took place. After
opening at unchanged figures to Ia

Mandan Dynamites
Heart River Dam

Mandan, Aug. 2O.-The north end
of the Heart river dam was dyna-
mited this afternoon. At a final
meeting of the park board this after
noon the ACCESSIBILITY of blowing up
the remainder of the structure which
was damaged by the flood waters this
spring will be considered.
At this celebration the citizens Of
Mandan can see thirty thousand dol
lars of their money destroyed with
few sticks of dynamite in short
space of time. To have saved the
part of the dam that had not been
ruined by the flood waters would
have requiredsanother enormous out
lay of moneys Unless some restrain
ing action is presented at the meet
ing this afternoon the entire dam
will probably be destroyed.

HAROLD BELL WRIGHT OUT WITH
A new ADVENTURE ROMANCE

DOOR," has been slowly evolving
ever since. II is an adventure ro-
nance of today with more action
and excitement IN il than In any
of his previous books.
It is laid in the country be knows
we'll, that part Of Arizona not far
from Tucson, where he makes His
home. The wild mountains and the
strangely beautiful canyon where
the greater portion Of the story de-
velops are intimately known to him.
He has cainped for weeks At a
time BY the small gold-bearinr
stream that flows through the Can
ada del Orc. the Canyon of Gold,
and ridden his horse on the arid
trails and amid tie terrifying cacti
OF the desert and the mountain
sides. He knows its legends, Its
stories of adventure and daring, of
fortunes found and lost. He knows
the people who have lived in It and
near It or who live there now. He
has heard the story of the vanished
mine from many sources, that won
der mine where the old Spanish
fathers got the gold that enriched
their splendid affairs, that mine
which, closed by a great iron door,
suddenly disappeared. Il is there,
in the canyon, somewhere. And

They get gold, many of them. But
the mine itself, the master lode, is
never discovered.
And Il IL this that is the theme
of the book. This eternal seeking
for something fine and precious
that is known to exist, but that is
never found. Traces of it are dis
covered, and during the search life,
rich and varied, comes and passes.
But the master lode, the hidden
treasure-never that
The plot revolves around a man
Of mystery who slips into the
Canyon Of Gold, a vigorous young
American who is evidently fleeing
something. Up At the end of the
trail he. meets girl-"a fragrant
blossom of womanhood raised un.
der open Skies. She also has her
mystery.
It would not be fair for me to
reveal the complete outline of the
story. But there are in addition to
these two, q host of interesting
characters. For example, there are
two quaint old prospcctors, guard
ians OF the girl; an unusual doctor
who has come West in search of
health; stalwart Indian who finds
it difficult to adjust his ways and
views to those of the white man;
and bandits, adventures, govern
ment officers, cowboys and others
to supply constant action and
thrills.
Most of the characters are taken
from the people Wright knows, to
whom the mine is as real as the
desert and the sun. He has his
love element, his American girl
who will touch the hearts of the
young men among his readers, as
Barbara Worth and Helen touched
the hearts of them and their older
brothers, the doughboys. who came
for his books. He has his message,
his desire to help in this book as
in the others. He speaks in it to
his millions of readers with the
same simple clearness. the same
passionate conviction, which they
expect and from which he cannot
depart.
