When just out of college Mr.. Stiles
who is a son of Judge Stiles of the
Iowa supreme court, determined on
a stage career and placed himself in
the hands of the well known New
York voice teacher, s. C. Bennett HIS
first engagement was with a light
opera company and after two years
"trouping," his enthusiasm waned
and he went in for material things by
starting a cattle ranch in Colorado.
During the past four years he has
lived on the plains where he became
known as one of the most venture
some of cowboys in several states. He
has a record of throwing and roping
steer in At seconds, which any la
riat expert will admit is no amateur
speed. Last summer he tired of his
ranch life, again journeyed to New
York and again took up voice study
with Prof. Bennett. That veteran
instructor was so charmed with the
remarkable strength and beauty Of
his pupils voice that he advised him
to go in for grand opera at once.
With barely one months study, Mr..
Stiles sang for Henry w. Savage, was
signed and had the honor of singing
the great tenor role in Madam But
terfly'' at the first New York per-
Torrance this season. His six feet
of manly strength, handsome bearing.
together with the brilliant voice,
made his success instantan eous. He
now alternates regularly with Will

the Royal opera at Vienna to sing
the role.

farms on the Arkansas bottom in Yer

taking is the setting out of 100000
trees. This planting has been spoken
of as an Experiment in farming. but
Mr.. Albright is going into it with as
much confidence and energy as he
would into any other established and
certain industry.
The most approved method of
planting Is to set the trees six feet
apart each way, or six feet and half.
This gives 1900 OF 1000 trees to the
acre Corn is planted In the intervals,
thus keeping the farm use of three
quarters Of the ground and insuring
proper cultivation for the first three
years.

GONE "a DAYS.
Japanese Vessel Suspected of Watch
ing Battleship Fleet.

Valparaiso, February 19.-The doings
on the coast Of Chile of the japanese
steamer Kazato Maru in view Of the
proximity Of the American battleship
fleet attracted considerable attention
here. The Kazato Maru left Iquique
on January 23, and steamed out to
sea-. Nothing was heard from her un-
til two days ago, when she arrived at
Tocopilla, a small maritime town in
Antofagasta province, 40 miles dis
tant from Iquique. The fact that the
vessel spent "a days between these
two ports leads to the suspicion in
some quarters taht she has been OBJ
serving the progress of the American
fleet or studying the Chilean coast in
the vicinity of Tocopilla. The Kazato
Maru Is equipped with wireless tele-
graph.
