Want South American Trade.

An expedition is to be sent to South
America by United States manufacturers
next April in a chartered vessel, the bon
Voyage" The itinerary of the seven
months cruise of this floating expedition
of samples of American goods, including
almost everything. from cuff buttons to
plows, has just been issued. The enter
prising statesmen will travel down from
the Guianas to Buenos Ayres, stopping at
the large cities of each State and going
to inland towns by rail to make seductive
offers to merchants there. Georgetown,
Paramaribo Cayenne, Rio Janeiro, Bahia
and adjacent cities are numbered among
those scheduled to hear the broken Span
ish of the willy Yankee drummer" Facts
are set forth in the itinerary which seem
surprising to one who has not recently
studied South American geography. Some
of the cities contain enormous popula-
tons; Rio Janeiro, 100000; Buenos Ayres,
100000, with nineteen stations on the L.
600 miles Of Argentine railroads, which
contain from 10000 to $4,000 people each.
Over 100000 people are thus connected
with Buenos Ayres in this faraway coun-
try that is said to be competing so vlgor-
ously for the wheat, cattle and pork busl-
ness of the world. These cities make
markets attractive to enterprise. SAID
A. L. Lowe of Chicago, who is in charge
of this expedition: 'The present method
of traffic with South America, where so
little is manufactured, is awkward and
inefficient. The purpose of the visit is to
create demand for our American goods,
that they may later be sold to the new
customers through commission men, as
in small way is done at present. We
hope to plant the seeds for an enormous
increase of trade"

ETERNAL YOUTH
Nine. Scalchi's Marvellous Voice as
Fresh and Pure as Ever

How very successful and artistic the
Scalchi concerts have been and with
what delight tho true musical element
notes of the still Incompatible contralto
has already been sufficiently stated.
That grand opera should, however,
have been presented without orchestral
accompaniment and yet have met with
such marked artistic success speaks
highly not only for the singers, but for
every adjunct to the performance-not
emitting the Kimball upright plano used
on these occasions.
The largest concert grand would
have been wholly inadequate to meet
the severe demands made upon 1t by
grand opera. 1t is small wonder, then,
that an upright piano should not sup
ply the tonal force Of full orchestra.
That an experienced artist like Seal
chi-while fully understanding the nat
ural limitations Of a pianoforte-thor-
oughly appreciated how nobly the
"Kimball' supported this exceptional
strain upon Its resources, may be Judged
by her letter of this morning to Mr..
Bartlett. the text Of which Is given be-
low:
Please accept my thanks for the splendid
upright Kimball pianos which you SO
kindly placed at my disposal. and which l
have used with much pleasure, both in my
own apartments at the hotel and in the
Los Angeles theater, during my brief So
journ in your beautiful city.
After several years of experience with
the Kimball pianos desire to renew my
former expressions Of satisfaction with
them, for the Kimball is pre-eminently an
artists piano. ideal In tone and perfect in
action. Very sincerely yours.
SOFIA SCALCIII.
The above which Is by no means the
first Endorsement Of the Kimball piano
by Nine. Scalchl, is but one on the fam
GUS roll Of artists testimonials to the
excellence Of the Kin1bal1 piano-of
which Messrs. Bartlett Bros, who are
the sole agents for Southern California.
are so Justly proud. The highest awards
obtained at the Worlds fair by this
famous instrument were but the sum-
ming up and complement Of these uni
