WORDS THAT C0uNT

The following notes are clipped from the
Chicago Indicator, one of the leading musi-
cal journals of the country. 1t devotes
several columns to the Sohmer piano COM
pany and also has a fine steel engraving of
each of the four principal members of the
firm:
The Sohmer piano has achieved a world
wide celebrity-by its merits as beauti-
full, high grade instrument and by the
aggressive and effective advertising so ably
put forth by the manufacturers. Sohmer
q Co., of New York, the makers, knew
that they were producing very superior
piano-one that would cause a sensation in
the musical world. And so the "Sohmer
cartoon" grew to De feature. bright, inter-
esting and of great value. The assertions
all being supported by the excellence of the
instruments, the name of Sohmer & Co..
long ago became familiar and respected
throughout this country and Europe.
The original Sohmer factory turned out
two pianos per week. The pres ent mag
Astoria, turn out forty per week. The fac
tory is a model Of it's kind, being supplied
with everything known to the trade for the
facility of manufacture.
The Sohner piano, the product of this
immense factory, is an instrument that has
won its way by its great merit. 1t is a
beautiful piano, with rich, sonorous
carrying tone, and constructed on princi-
pies involving the perfection of science and
acoustics. Many valuable inventions be-
long exclusively to this instrument, the
latest, we believe, being the double agraffe
bearing, an improvement that commends
{ itself to all who understand piano mechan-
ism and that really shows its value to any
who examine it.
In the entire production of the piano,
from the first treatment of the lumber to
the last finishing touch upon the handsome
ly-designed cases, the greatest of care is
taken and the inventive skill of the factory
is constantly at work devising improve
ment.
The principle of the factory is that
nothing is too small or too unimportant to
be improved if possible, and by pursuing
this method of work the great and success
full Sohmer piano of to day has been made.
Its marked success is not to be wondered
at.
In all of the large cities and educational
centres OF the country the SOhmer has
first-class agents, dealers of responsibility
who are proud to be Identified with piano
/ that has taken such firm hold of the music
| loving public
The local representatives of the Sohmer
piano are the Salt Lake Music company,

and cordially invite their friends and piano
critics to call and examine this queen of

To show that
THE MANY GOOD POINTS
of this vicinity are being recognized by the
people, it might be stated that within the
past six weeks $4,000 worth of property
has been sold in Forest Dale alone. The
lots are of fair size, being 25x155 feet, with
a 20-foot alley in the rear, which enables
teams to pass and permits the lot owner
to utilize his entire frontage. A
number of the lots are of larger size which
will suit those who desire or can afford a
more expensive lot. The price ranges from
$50 to $500 each, according to location and
size, and to aid those who wish to invest
their money in building, lots will be sold on
easy installments to suit purchasers OF
small means. In Perkins Boulevard addi-
ton, adjoining Forest Dale, fully 70 pei
cent of the lots have already been sold and
and in Forest Dale there are about three
hundred lots when are offered for sale.
The reporter, after learning the above
particulars, took horse and buggy for the
city and after jogging along at a moderate
pace arrived at his starting point in nine

is but seven minutes drive from Liberty
park and the prices are so far below what
is asked for property in the vicinity of the

SECRETARY TRACY's FAMILY,
The Household on Which a Terrible Az
Fiction Has Fallen.

The Tracys are Of New England extraction.
The great great grandfather Of the present
head one Of the first to shoulder a musket in
the cause Of independence, fell with Warren
on the sacred soil of Bunker Hill The Catlins,
on the maternal side, are descended from Capt.
Daniel Broadhead, who served with Gov.
Nichols, in l664, in the expedition under the
Duke of York against the Dutch in
America and upon the surrender of their
possessions to the English settled in Ulster
county, NY. This head of a noted American
name belonged to an ancient Yorkshire family
and was in favor with his king. Among his de-
scendants were Daniel Broadhead, brave SOL
der of the revolution, friend Of Washington
and member of the Society of the Cincinnati.
and of a later generation. John Romeyn Broad
head, the scholar and historian, deceased who
was a cousin of Mrs. Tracy.
Mr.. TRAcY's CAREER.
In 1853, having commenced a successful
career in politics by defeating the democratic
candidate for district attorney in a democratic
county, Mr.. Tracy subsequently served in the
legislature, and in 1862 went into the military
service as colonel of the 18th New York volun-
teers. distinguishing himself in the battles OF
the Wilderness and Spottsylyania. Having
been transferred to the command Of q regiment
of colored troops he was stationed near his
home and family while in command Of the
rebel prison camp at Elmira. At the close of
the war, having formed partnership with a
New York law firm, Mr.. Tracy removed with his
family to that city, making his home in Brook
Ign, but he retained his family seat near his
native town of Owego. This home, known as
"Marshland, was noted for its beauty.
The prominence of Secretary Tracy in the
professional and political circles of New York
and Brooklyn has always been attended by
equal prominence in the highest walks of the
social life OF the great metropolis and its NUM-
cipal offspring. Brooklyn.
MRS. wILNERDING.
OF late years Mrs. Tracy has been quite an
invalid, and therefore relies almost entirely
upon her eldest daughter, Mrs. wilmerding.
In 1875 Miss Emma Louisa Tracy, while still in
the early years of her maidenhood, married
| Ferdinand Suydam Wilmerding. son Of Wn. d.
Wilmerding, scion Of the purest blood Of the
Knickerbockers.
The second daughter Of the Secretary of the
Navy Miss Mary Harrington Tracy, was a
gifted artist She studied three years at Paris
under the celebrated French painter, Charles
Champlain.
The youngest member of the family Mr.
Frank Broadhead Tracy, is a graduate Of Yale
and the Columbia law school.
Secretary Tracy sold his beautiful place at
"Marshand" soon after he was appointed 10
cabinet position and invested the money re-
allied in the residence here which was de-
stroyed by fire TODAY
