decided to lay the whole matter before

Generally speaking but few citizens
of the United States appreciate the i'm
portance of Argentina as a cattle-rais-
ing country. 1t is not to be wondered
at that North Americans. with vast
areas of fertile soil only partially oc-
cupied and developed, have failed to
study conditions in the southern re-
public. and consequently have almost
universally lost sight OF the great op-
portunities which have been presented

Here is a possible explanation of the
strong prediction j. Pierpont Nor

United States Tobacco Journal, the
Chester school of Waterbury. which
the financier once attended, has sued
a man in Hamilton, Conn, for years

There are in Argentina approximate
ly 240.000,000 acres of arabic land,
three-fourths of which is a vast plain,
very large part of which is very

OPERA FOR CAPITAL
MAY Be REALIZED
Substantial Assistance Said
To Have Been Promised
HammerStein.

oscar Hammersttin IS seriously con-
siderinE the erection OF grand opera
house i'm Washington.
This information leaked out today
when il became known that Mr.. Ham
mersteiu, ON his recent visit here, called
ON number Of Washington most
prominent business men.
When Mr. Hammerstein paid a five
hours visit 20 the Capital last week
he did more I'm that short time toward
realizing the dream Of Washington mu-
sic lovers for a grand opera season than
has been accomplished before since the
project was preached.
He selected a tentative site. his repre-
scntativcs asCertaincd the amount re-
Quired 20 obtain an option on this site.
ne bluntlv asked a number of business
I1en how much support they would give
n m and then planned a week Of grand
opera at the BelaSCO. 20 see whether
= ashingtOn really wants grand opera.
The site Of the proposed opera house,
II is understood. is on Connecticut ave-
nue., between X and L streets. adjoining
Rauschers Mr.. Hammerstein plans to
buy a number Of the small stores ad-
joining Itauscher and the front OF
the house will extend along Connect
cut avenue for as great a distance as
he can obtain ground.
On J. street il IS believed that options
on a number of small DIV cling houses
would be comparatively easy to obtain
and the center Of the block affords a
spacious site for the auditorium. The
carriage and the stage entrances would
probably be on J. street.
Though none Of the men Who conferred
with Mr. Hammerstein would affirm or
deny this morning that they had under
consideration such a plan, il is believed
that the impreSariO gained considerable
encoura cement from Thomas +. Walsh
and John r Mclean, and IL is rumored
that Perry Belmont has offered to sub
scribe TO the guarantee fund to the
extent OF $4,000.
Mr.. Hammerstein IL IS said. set the
amount OF the guarantee at $4,000.
With this amount subscribed he will
proceed to build grand opera house
and assume the risk of cquippinE the
house and installing a company here.
Mr.. Hammerstein's plan from what
could be learned today. is not 10 have
grand opera performances here for con-
secutiVe nights. but TO bring his Man
haitian company mere for a number OF
times week throughout the season
that Congress is in session. This plan

worked out by the Metropolitan COM
many that Mr. Hammerstein wants 10
get in on the ground floor in the Capital
before tho rival company installs a
company here.
