Puritan to Be Broken Up.

The famous yacht Puritan. defender Of
the Americas cup against the British yacht
Genesta In 1885, was sold yesterday at pub
lie auction in Boston for 81 O25 to O'Connor
brothers. metal dealers, presumably to be
broken up.
The Puritan was designed by the late Ed
ward Burgess for a syndicate of American
yachtsmen headed by Gen. Charles j. Paine
and selected to defend the cup against the
widely heralded Genesta. Before the race
there were many qualms as to the safety Of
the trophy A. Cary Smith designed the
Priscilla as a defender and Gen. Paine and
his friends ordered the Puritan. Little was
thought OF her until she defeated the PRS
ella in three of four trial races and showed
such speed as to quiet to degree the an
prehension. This confidence in her was ius-
titled by the race. for she won each contest
and held the cup.
She cost $4,000 to build. but was bid IN
after the victory by Gen. Paine for $13. 900.

AS CONVENTION CITY.
Compliment Paid Washington hy the
Musical Age.

In its issue of June % the Musical Age
published In connection with the conven-
ton of the piano dealers at Put-in-Bay.
Ohio, pays high compliment to Washing
ton as a convention city, and congratulates
the National Association of Piano Dealers
of America on the selection of Washington
"a its meeting place in 1906. In a long ar
ticIe on the first page of the paper, Illus
trated with excellent half-tones of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Capitol building,
space is given to recital OF the charms
of Washington and its special adaptability
as the meeting place of large organiza-
lions. 1t also pays high compliment to
Washington as a musical center. The Mu-
steal Age says:
The acceptance by the National Associa-
ton of Piano Dealers of America of the In
vitation extended by the leading business
associations of Washington calls attention
again to the national capital as conven-
ton city. The Organizatl lions which find
here their annual meeting place are so
many and various that a mere enumeration
of them would fill many lines.
"All of these find sessions in Washington
peculiarly pleaSurable and profitabe-Some
for specific and some for more abstract
rea sons. In the case of the meeting of the
Ma lonal Association of Plano Dealers 1t is
well to bear in mind the remarkable must
cal renaissance which the capital city has
undergone within the past few years. and
particularly in the winter season just
closed. For a time 1t feared by those
VINO nave an interest In nOtlHS tne muSlCdl
pulse of the city that the community was
in danger of suffering from a musical glut-
tony Never before had there been SO many
notable concerts, so many virtuosi and Of
SO high a rank
where there had been only single ind-
yiduals teaching, each with his or her little
clientele. there sprang into full-fedged and
profitable existence excellent Conservatives
or colleges of music.
Further stress may with propriety be
placed upon the pleasures to be derived by
the delegates from seeing Washington itself.
An effort toward becoming familiar with
the many governmental activities consti-
tutes a most liberal education, and has a
broadening influence upon any one who is
willing to make that effort One can see at
first hand so many things that a once at
test the greatness and the possibilities Of
the entire nation.
Appealing to the individuals. besides the
many public buildings, museums. the mon
umental shaft to the father of his coun-
try-the tallest piece of masonry in the
world-there are many historic spots

Post tells Of the amusing experience
Of literary friend into whose family
a seventh child came last summer.
The family were at their country
house, and for time a good deal OF
the care Of the other six children de-
volved upon the father, who has Spar.
tan ideas as to the upbringing of his
sons. One morning he carried his two
year-old to the creek near his home
to give him cold plunge. The child
objected Justify to this proceeding, but
was firmly held and ducked, notwith.
standing.
At the instant Of the ducking, how
ever, a brawny hand seized the Spar
tan father by his shoulder and flung
him back, while the angry voice OF
the farmer, who was his nearest neigh
Dor, roared in his ears.
Here, none of that! I'll have the
law on you for this!'
"And," said the literary man, al
took me half an hour to convince that
man that I was not trying to drown
that child. Even then he wasn't Who'll
ly convinced. To the very last min.
ute he kept on shaking his head skep-
ticalIy, and saying:
"'Wal, 1 dunno about that. dunno

IN WESTERN CANADA.
WHERE MILLIONS OF FARMERS
MAY FIND HOMES.
Four Territories With Sparse Popu1a.
ton Have Become Two Provinces with
Half-a- Million Peop1e-Best Agricu1-
tura1 Country on Earth.

When in 1869 the Canadian govern
ment paid $1,5OO,OOO for the extinguish-
ment of the Hudson's Bay Company's
title to the whole Of Western Canada,
embracing an area of well on to 2,OOO,-
600 square miles Of land, that ulti-
mately will be used in the different lines
OF agriculture, there were wiseacres at
home as well as abroad who declared it
to be a bad bargain. When again, in
the early seventies the government be-
gan the effort to build the Canadian
Pacific railway from ocean to ocean to
open up this country, some of the ablest
men inside as we'll as outside declared
the road would never pay, not because
they were not anxious to see the Domin-
ion grow and expand, but because they
had no knowledge of what nature had
done for the great West. They believed
at best that the soil was not good and
even if good, the latitude of the coun-
try precluded the possibility of anything
like moderately successful agriculture;
but it has remained for time, but a short
period at that, to do the country justice.

available, an excellent quality Of coal
is always on hand. As early as 1887
some $4,000 tons were mined, and this
was increased to 325,0OO tons in 1900,
which amount has been growing annual
ly. Although mining is but in it's In
fancy, enough coal has already been To-
Gated to do the whole of Canada for
centuries.
Wheat.
To turn again to the great staple Of
the country, wheat, we may remark that
year in and year out, the entire cost of
production to the farmer, even if he
hires everything done from the ploughing
to the delivery at the market, is set
down by a number of calculators at
$3.50 per acre. AS the average crop Of
the country, year in and year out, is 20
bushels to the acre and the average price
60 cents, or So per acre, the profit to
the farmer is $3.50 per acre. If he
does his work himself he, of course,
earns wages in addition to this profit.
These figures are very conservative.
The farmers who are living on small
overcrowded farms in other countries,
or even land they can sell for $40, $40
or $50 an acre, should bear in mind 100
acres of better producing land, where
climate, educational facilities and ev-
erything else necessary for the farmers
welfare, can be procured in Western
Canada free of charge. Settlers are now
locating at the rate of 100000 a year
from all Parts of the world The testi-
monies of these settlers, which can be
got from any of them for the asking, are
all the recommend the country requires
to place it in a very few years in the
front rank of the epopuious nations of
the globe. 1t is already as prosperous as
any and the success of those who have
ventured and won is all the assurance
that is necessary for the prosperity and
development Of the future.
