 4 Dainty.

From Our New York Dramatic Core.
 spondent.l
 Julia Marlowe and E. H. Sothern have produced ''The Merchant of Ven ice" at the Knickerbocker theater. MT. Sothern's Shylock was superior to Miss Marlowe's Portia in many respects. In his characterization he clothed the Jew ish money lender with an atmosphere of vindictiyeness and cruel cunning. K The Sothern Shylock is a man fight ing for his money, for every iota of what he considers his just due. He is grasping, remorseless and unswerving.
 Miss Marlowe was probably more viVacious Portia than any other seen in New York. At times she was too much so, especially in the trial scene. She seemed to forget that she was no longer woman; that she was sup posed to be d man, lawyer, working for the liberty of her beloved. Her Portia was attractive, but not accu- rate.
 was disappointed in the trial scene, the climax of one of the greatest of all dramas. Shylock and Portia are the two principal characters here, and to give the money lender opportunity to rise to tlle situations with full ef- feet Portia should have been played with more seriousness, with more senl- blance of masculinity. It is the strik- ing of steel on steel, not of steel on wood, that causes sparks to fly.
 While Miss Marlowe as an actress is superior to Mir. Sothern as an actor, she failed ill this one instance to dem- onstrate her ascendency.
 "Veronique," at the Broadway thea ter, is dainty and entertaining mu- sical comedy presented by the same company that won a pronounced sue cess in it in England under the man. agement of George Edwardes. The play also succeeded ill Paris The score was written by Andre Messager, who came to this country especially to con- duct the orchestra.

The whole country embraces an

Quoting water and broken land there

As wheat can be grown at $3.50 per

are twenty bushels at 60 cents, the
profits are $3.50 per acre.
As live stock doubles every three
years and grows like wheat while the

will always be one of the leading feat
ures of the agricultural industry. AS
the Pacific coast or warm winds melt

Relics of John Paul Jones.

In the National Museum at Wash

which serve as relics of Capt. John
Paul Jones, the great naval hero of
Revolutionary times. These three
articles are in case containing me-
mentos of the Revolutionary War, and
they consist of an old flag. which flew
from the masthead of the Bon Homme
Richard, an old fiintlock musket and
a fierce looking cutless, both of which
were captured from the Scraps, when
Capt. Jones took that battleship in
the famous naval engagement in Sep
TENDER, 1879. The old flag is an in
teresting relic of the period. 1t was
originally sixteen feet long. 1t has
twelve white stars in the blue back
ground and four red and four white
stripes. During the fight between the
Bon Homme Richard and the British
frigate Scraps this flag was flown by
the former ship and it was borne to

oences of advancement The first
bushel of wheat was shipped in 1882,
in fact the first shipment from Mani
toba, merely as a sample, was made
in 1877. In 1904 there were under all
crops, excepting hay, 1.575, 900 acres
in the western provinces, producing
17,250.35 bushels of wheat, 1920, $40
bushels of oats, and 1850, APO bushels
of barley, realizing a total of about
$1S,500 900 for the farmers.
In Manitoba there were grown in
1904 Al 100000 bushels of wheat and
other farm products in proportion.
The first mile of railway was built in
the country in 1880, and to-day there
are over 5000 miles of road in opera
ton, and further extensions are going
ahead as fast as men and money can
build them. There are two trunk
lines in the country, the c. P. R. and
the Canadian Northern, with the
Grand Trunk commencing its trans
continental line. In addition to these
trunk lines, all systems are extending
branches to all sections where there
are settlements to patronize them.
The grain elevator development is
another assurance of the wonderful
expansion of the country, the one
fourth of the whole area, or about 95,-
100000 acres of the country traversed
by railways being now fairly supplied
by elevators. In all there are LOIS
of them in the country with a combin-
ed capacity of 27,6S3,O00 bushels and
erected at cost of over S55, 000,0 00
In addition to these, elevators at the
head of the lakes have storage capac-
ity of 1S.2O0.000. Fourteen years ago
the entire storage capacity of the
elevators was 7,62S,O00 bushels, to-day
it is 100000 and increasing yearly
from five to ten million bushels.
What the settlement of the country
will be in the next ten years may
well be imagined from the fact that
last year the immigration was over
$4,000 souls.
