Drifting Sand Dunes Menace to Railroads As one makes the ascent of the Andes from the Pacific port of Mol Icndo, hi Peru, following the line of the Southern Pacific railway, the climb to the divide is broken by two great steps or wide-spreading shelve? of desert or pampa. On the first of these steps, about two hours' steep climb from the sea, and at an altitude of from 4,000 to 5,000 feet, are located the famous drifting sand hills of Peru. The plateau Is here about 20' miles wide, the air thin and dry and no trace of vegetation to be seen, only these . gigantic crescent-shaped sand dunes dotting the pampa as far as the eye can see. Composed of fine gray crys tal sand, they gleam white ngalnet the . brown of the desert, and their horns point toward the prevailing south wind of this region. They are from 15 to 23 or even 30 feet high, 20 feet In breadth across the thick part of the crescent and sometimes 100 feet from hnin tn Itni'n 2n tfrrhlir la fha etmrl pvu aw a. v....

There sand hills, called nienanos, travel with almost imperceptable slow ness, and when they threaten the rail way track they can sometimes be di verted by piling up blocks of stone In their paths, otherwise the railway bed has to be altered to go around them An analysis of the soil of this region shows that it would be very fertile if irrigated from the available snow fields of the Andes, so that it is possible there will come a day when its deso late sand dunes will cease to be.

' Jones was on his way to the house when he met Brown returning. "Where are you going?" asked the latter. "Oh, I'm just going round to see Bill and wish him luck with that youngster of his." "Then you're too late." "What? Surely it hasn't died?" "No, the youngster's all right, but the cigar jox Is empty." ... . Wyatt and His Cat It Is said that Sir Henry Wyatt, who was a privy councillor under King Henry VII of England, always had his picture painted with a cat beside him, because when he was confined by Richard III in a cold and dark tower, where he had neither food to eat nor fire to keep him warm, a cat brought him resrularly every day a pigeon for his dinner and kept the warmth In his body by permitting Sir Henry to caress her.

Marbles are due in a week or two, then the trouble of broken strings and kite tails flap ping from telephone and electric light wires will have been forgotten. A blanket of snow protected the growing wheat in this section during the recent cold snap but in the wheat growing districts west and north of Pendleton, a raging blizzard swept the ground clear of snow and the re suit is that much of the grain was frozen out, and farmers will be com pelled to reseed. The board of directors in the Ath ena baseball association has decided to use the old grounds for the games this season. The principal reason for making the change from the Kirk grounds .was that the character of soil was found to be too soft for quick drying after a heavy rain." The old diamond is one of the fastest in the state, and considering the fact that all trains will stop at the depot in stead of on side tracks, as formerly, the old grounds are much more pre ferable in every way.
