New York., June 15.-Safe and

but they never lost sight of each other
after leaving there. On June 10 the
yachts were caught in gale from the
southeast and while it blew very hard
and a heavy sea was running, very lit
tie water was shipped and no damage
was done.
The tug Charles e. Matthews, in
charge of H. H. Davies, met the yachts

the Cruiser.
The yachts passed Sandy Hook
iightship soon after 6 a. m. They
were saluted by every vessel that pass
ed them all the way to Quarantine.
When they arrived there the crews
of the yachts gave three cheers for
each other as they stood lined up on
deck. Both yachts few the pennant
OF the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
The new challenger is by far more
handsome than either the Shamrock
|. or Shamrock II. She looks not un-
like the Columbia above the water
line and her beam seems greater than
either Of those yachts. She lows
easily, making very little broken wa,
ter at the bow and leaving a clean
wake. Her captain, Robert Wringe,
says she behaved splendidly under all
conditions of weather during the pas
sage across the Atlantic. She is rig
sed with a short bowsprit and
a topmast over a stout lower mast.
The Shamrock I. has the same rig
with the addition of jigger mast aft.
The latter steers with a tiller and
the former with small wheel.

Trip to California.
Concluded.

Our introduction to Southern Cali
fornia at daylight on Saturday morn
ing at San Bernardino from the
Mojave desert on Friday was indeed
a revelation. From the burning sun
on Tone side of the Sierras to the
balmy air laden with the fragrance of
millions of flowers and the sight of
over burdened fruit trees on the other
makes one feel like he had escaped
the torment of blades" into a land
flowing with milk and honey.
San Bernardino, Pasadena and
other minor villages being passed we
stopped at Los Angeles which we
found to be thriving, substantial,
progressive, modern city of the first
class.
During my stay of four days,
visited all the different points of in
terest. Santa Monica Soldiers Home
where I found veritable Garden of
Eden, but strange to say some Of the
old boys of '6l to '65 were heard
complaining which leads one to ask,
sis there place on this earth where
mortal man would be satisfed?' and
Long Beach, where the Southern
California Soldiers Reunion was be-
ing held in camp on the sandy
beach. Here were hundreds of the
Old Boys, their wives and children
in the surf bathing. could not re-
sist the temptation and went in too.
1 visited most of the Great Bend
people living in and around Los
Angeles, and found them all singing
praises of Southern California and
apparently prospecting and healthy.
On Wednesday at 8. p. m. 1 set
my face homeward and came over in
daylight that part of the outgoing
trip passed in the night, which did
not impress me as worthy of any
further comment than appeared in
my first letter, and arrived at home,
Saturday morning, glad to get home,
but not sorry that l made the trip.

Notwithstanding the fact that
threshing was thrown considerable
later than usual this year, because of
the late harvest and wet weather fol-
lowing, there has been a sort of
stringency in the box car situation for
some time. Usually plenty of cars
are to be had until the grain rush
comes, but this year the scarcity of
cars came first. Why this is so, we
cannot tell. While it is true that no
railway corporation can maintain the
requisite amount of equipment all the
time, that is necessary TO handle the
grain business when at its height, still
we think that there is something
wrong when they do not furnish cars
at all, or at the start of the season.
The farmers are thrown behind with
their work. The unthreshed wheat
runs all the risks of stacked grain an
unnecessary length of time, or else
the farmer must pile it on the ground.
thereby entailing loss. He must let
his notes and mortgages run longer
than necessary, and many other
things happen and all because we
can't get cars. If the railroad COM
pany has not got the cars to handle
ordinary business. it should get them.
If they have them, but can't get
action on them because some other
road or some elevator holds them
loaded, they should take such steps
as will release them.
The railroads are here, and the
people are here. The former open
ed up the country and the later built
1t up. Without the former, the latter
could not do business here, and with
out the later the former would have
no business to do. We are here TO-
gether, and must work together for
our mutual interests. But such
work as has been going on in the
box car business must stop. We
need cars and must have them, or
know why When conditions get so
that man has to stand around a
town like Hoisington all day long,
with a load of wheat, and can't get
car or anything to unload it, and
when elevators at non-competing
points have been closed for two or
three weeks, and when wheat is piled
on the ground at nearly every station
along the road, it is necessary to do
something, and now we think the state
board of rail road commissioners
should take hand.

The Convent School.

The Sisters in charge of the Con
vent School are well pleased with the
prospects for the coming year. They
have now 33 pupils, as compared
with 10 at the beginning of last term,
and are receiving more right along.
The work of last year was very sue
cessful, and all who sent their child
rem were exceedingly well pleased.
The Sisters are kind and palnstaking,
and leave nothing undone to mike
their pupils comfortable, and to adj
vance them in their work. The peo-
pie of Great Bend certainly have
reasons to congratulate themselves,
for having in addition to our well
regulated public school system, St.
Mary's convent school. Not enough
schools hurts. Too many you can
not get for as we say, the more the
merrier, therefor more schools viii
incite the pupils to better work. Let
US push our educational faciliting to
the front.

Not A Judge.

Knowing Bro. Eckert, of the Lar
ned Tiller and Toiler as well as we
do, we are very much surprised at
the statement made in his paper a
few weeks ago, when he said THAT
for looks the Larned girls had the
Great Bend girls skinned a mile. -
Now wouldn't that jar your STATS?
Why, Harvey, if you want to get
along without the use of a cane or
crutches, never make that kind of a
crack again. Any one with half an
eye for beauty would contradict your
statement. The fact is there are no
better looking, sweeter. more amiable,
or all around nicer girls anywhere than
we have in Great Bend. We will back
them against the world in anything,
and then for you to say Larned has
US skinned. Why it is preposterous.
Say, come down and We will sight you.
