SHIFTING SAND DUNE CREEPs TOWARD FARM HOME

IDAHO FALLS, Ida.-Shifting sand an oval dune 100 feet high and one eighth of a mile across, crept slowly toward the farm home of Vernon Cur tis recently, but the rancher declined to become alarmed.
 That sand dune," Curtis neighbor, J. C. Arage, explained, ''has been nov ingbefore the prevailing winds for years, but since 1885, at least, 1t has been content to travel back and forth on a quarter-naile course, going occa- sionally leo yards to the right or left 9
 The dune had pressed to within 10o yards of the Arave house, four miles southeast Of Idaho Falls, and since its recent recession toward the Curtis homestead has buried an improved road and fences and is threatening to overrun a corral
 "In 40 years" continued Arave, that pile Of sand has caused the nov ing of 50 fences and has forced the county commissioners to buy new rights of way for the road six times. :"
 4 short distance to the northeast, on the Joseph Jensen farm, "baby dune" is pouring into canal, send ing sand 70 miles down the channel and clogging headgates so rapidly 3 new canal may become necessary.
 "The sand is Q costly nuisance, but in e1a respect [ least, 1t is of benefit, = Arave sad.
 The big dune leaves an almost in visible film of sand on the ground t has left, and because of the nature of she original soil, it becomes fertile loam after couple of years of eui- tivation"

so big and healthy and beginning to

they were so small and so frail that
we could hardly breathe when near
