LINKED UP CLOSER BY CONTRACTS (Continued from page 1) United Press and La Nacion, leading newspaper of South America, was hailed here as an event of great im portance. "It is with great satisfaction that I learn of the establishment of this direct news service between South America and the United States through an arrangement between the United Press associations and La Naclon, of Buenos Aires," said Sec retary: of the Treasury McAdoo, who as chairman- of the International high commission, recently beaded a party that visited the principal South American countries. "It is a matter of real importance to the people of the two continents and is a very practical step toward that better knowledge and understand ing of one another for which we have been, striving for many years. It should facilitate the Interchange of ideas and information. The better we know one another the better Mends well be." "The extension of the United Press facilities to South America and the bringing of La Naokm's news facil ities to the United States, will be a tremendous benefit on both contin ents," said Postmaster General Bur leson. "It will aid in many material ways. The advantage commercially Is readily apparent and the good that will accrue from the understanding between the nations should be equal ly apparent. It is a splendid thing and both parties to the new arrange ment are to be congratulated on their enterprise." Senator William J. Stone, chair man of the foreign relations commit tee, was equally pleased over the news. "The benefit that will result from the establishment of such a news service is readily apparent," said Senator Stone. "It will bring the democracies of the two continents in doM touch. We have been hamper ed in our efforts to become acquaint ed with on* another by the lack of current information regarding one another. We have been more isolat ed from one another than we have been from the countries of Europe. A splendid thing has been done by L« Nackra and the United Press in potting an end to this isolation."

All stories from the scene of the disaster agree that It was a real cloud burst that swept the stricken district. The towns and villages are built most ly upon the sides of steep, rocky hills, barren of trees. The storm had a clean sweep through the region and simply flooded down everything in its path. Looting was begun shortly after the worst of the storm had passed. Rail road police, local constabulary and others quickly organized to protect the thousands of homeless huddled on the bare hill sides. They were re lieved this morning in some localities when a company of militia despatched from Charleston last night reached the washed out region. The troops brought wtyh. them food and much needed tents. ." Everything Devastated/ HUNTINGTON, Aug. 30.—Practic ally the entire region south and south east of Charleston for many milea devastated.

Va., Aug. 10.— Although reports from Huntington, Montgomery, St. Albans and other points estimate the dead In the cloud burst which swept a flood down Cab in, Paint and Coal creeks yesterday at from thirty to 200, state officials said at 11:00 a. m., reports of their Investigators showed only fourteen known dead. Late estimates indicate that the roll of dead may reach fifty and it is the belief that others may be dead in the Paint creek and Coal river valleys. Fourteen bodies have been recov ered from the debris between the mouth of Cabin creek and Leewood, ten miles up. All except one are those of women and children. Wm. J. McBrtde made his way down the creek from Ronda to the junction today and later to Charles ton. "Everything has gone," he said, "and investigation can only reveal how many are dead. The little towns near the mouth of the creek have been swept clean. "Everywhere it Is a mass of debris. Houses, trees, mine tipples, railroad cars and telephone poles are thrown together in a heap three miles long and there are dead beneath.

Grain Letter, [Furnished by Long Commission Co, 403 Main St. Telephone 100.] CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Wheat—A new high level, $1.50 for December wheat, brought heavy realizing today and the first reaction of consequence since the recent bulge began. The talk of an embargo against exporting wheat, which was thought to have been com pletely disposed of two years ago, was renewed. Towards mid-day there was also an unconfirmed peace rumor abroad. Cash houses were good buy ers of wheat on the break and early today they worked a good sized vol ume of export business. The bulge has brought out free selling by farpi ers, and a moderate accumulation has taken place at terminal markets. A new bullish feature has come into the market today in the form of frost re ports from the Canadian northwest. Reactions like that of today must naturally come out, on good breaks, the buying side is suggested. Corn—Scattered rains and predic tions for more led to free selling. Crop reports from Illinois show more damage than those of previous days, and rain in most sections is urgently needed. Arrivals are estimated at 120 cars, and the grade was only fair. The cash demand is reported good. On good bulges further heavy selling may be expected. Oats—Liberal receipts, hedging sales and profit taking combined with the break in corn have been against the oats market, which ranged lower. Receipts are of better quality than generally expected, and the cash situa tion in general appears to be against buying on bulges. Grain Review. CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Advancing wheat prices hit the American house wife today. Flour was advanced fifty cents a barrel on the Chicago whole sale market and the housewife who buys a "big sack" will pay ten to fif teen centB more for it than she did yesterday. Flour today sold for $7.25 a barrel for the bakers' grade. Yes terday it sold at $6.75. In the last month flour has advanced* two dol lars a barrel and the bakers already are considering abandonment of the time honored five cent loaf and sale of a ten cent loaf, slightly smaller than the present "dime" loaf. While the flour market was advanc ing today, wheat prices alternately rose and fell amid excited buying and selling. Scenes in the wheat pits were like those of the days when big traders sought to corner the whele world's wheat Bupply. Everybody was trying to buy wheat except those conserva tive ones who sold today at prices 10 to 15 cents higher than they bought it at. Just when things had quieted down to an ordinary din of tricing, some body busted into the pit with a rumor that the United States government had planned an embargo on shipment of wheat because the crops were so small. This started things again. The market soared for a minute. Then someone else had another flock of rumors and prices dropped again. It was see-saw up and down through out the morning. Brokers in close touch with condi tions discounted rumors that two dol lar wheat was In sight. They said it would stick somewhere around a dol lar and a half a bushel until some thing, nobody knows what, throws an other bomb into the market. At noon September wheat was up over the opening at 142 Decem ber was down one cent at 147, and May down two cents at 155. In the early hours May jumped three cents from last night's close, but dropped when those who held mucn wheat un loaded to get their profits. Corn made further declines. .Re ports of favorable weather in the corn states were responsible. Sep tember was unchanged at 83% De cember down of a cent at 71%, and May down of a cent at 75. Continued selling decreased oats values. September was steady at 44% December down at 47% May down at 50%. Provisions were strong and higher on a bullish hog market Today's market closed, after a tur bulent day, 1% cents higher for Sep tember wheat, cent lower for De cember and 2% lower than the open ing for the May future. Prices were 144%, 147% and 1521% respectively. Chicago Estimates for Tomorrow. [Furnished by Long Commission Co., 403 Main. Telephone No. 100.
