About Land Investments

any of our northwestern states did
they actually understand conditions
existing there. All immigration fig
ures show that the year 1910 will see
the largest movement onto unoccu-
pied land accompanied with their
actual cultivation that has ever taken
place in our history. Lands can now
be purchased in amy Of the north
western states or in western Canada
in my opinion for one-third of the
actual value, figured at a basis OF 10
per cent investment. In other words,
lands purchased at our present time
will pay you 80 per cent on your. In
.yestment. Il haxe not put this too
high some Of of them are paying
nearer 40. s...
In conclusion want to say that it
is we'll for those who contemplate In
vestment to seriously consider the
differences in value between farm
with broad acres and the so-called
lot contracts being sold promiscuous-
ly throughout the nation. I am not
a believer in the ten-dollar plan OF
buying a farm. 1t does not stand to
reason that it will give the purchaser
q home. Very seldom indeed, If ever,
does the holder of such contracts be-
come a farmer, and in all cases the
acreage is small and the payment
is small and runs for years before
ownership is acquired. would say
to those who have any serious inten-
ton of changing from their city occu-
pations to go back to the land,' that
it were better for them to come west
and either homestead or purchase on
easy terms a tract of land Of at least
one hundred and sixty acres in ex-
tent, and above all Things, move onto
it at once. That brings you back to
the land Making payments OF qlo
every three months ON a contract cov-
ering from five to ten acres In Mexl-
co, FLORIDA or elsewhere, in my opin-
ion, stands very little chance OF ever
bringing the purchaser back to the
land. If it did, the area is too limit
ed to make it q business proposition
for hm, particularly If he desires to
become a farmer" ~. b..

A'A foremost American woman in
the world of music, will give the only
concert to be heard in Los Angeles
during her present tour tonight at
Simpson auditorium, and will give the
first rendition in this city of Tschai-
kowsky's great work, the concerto in
D major, considered the most difficult
music ever written for violin. In fact
there are but few violinist3 in the
world who include the big Tschaikow
sky concerto in their repertoire, and
no other woman has ever attempted it.
A story is told by Mscha Elman's
father concerning this composition.
When he was sitting near the great
Joachim's daughters at a concert at
which Mischa Elman played this con-
certo the two girls did not have a pro-
gram, and while the TschaikoWsky
work was being played one girl said to
the other, What is that he is play
ing?" The reply of the sister was, II
don't know; but it's that thing papa
is always practicing."
This story is Vonuched for by Waldo

ri WO singers Of particular merit de-
lighted the audience gathered
n at Levy's yesterday afternoon.
Neither was a newcomer to the bill,
but appeared in songs so well selected
and with such effective support from
the orchestra that their numbers were
accorded the compliment Of absolute
quiet. This is unusual in the cafe
chantant and unexpected, but the rich,
plant Contralto voice Of Jeanie
Fletcher and the clear resonant So
prano of Mile Hon Bergere com
manded close attention. Miss Fletcher
sang two charming songs. Sweetheart"
and "Springtime," and in the evening
program included "Loch Lomond, -
Cam Ye by Athol" and Aud Lang
Syne" in her numbers.
Mile. Bergere repeated the success
with which her first appearance here
was attended, and sang villa Lied"
by Lehar and a concert waltz song. 1t
would be a delightful musical treat to
hear these two young women in some
of the beautiful duets for soprano and
cOntraltO. The bOudOir scene from
AIDA" BeethoVen's "Oh Vert Thou
in the Cauld Blast or the old-time
fayorite Hear Me, Norma" would all
be sure to delight the audience and
would afford rare musical treat to
every discriminating listener
The trio, Rogers Stewart and Ell
wood, sang a number of popular med
leys. ElWood and Rogers both appear
ing in solo numbers Male voices when
we'll harmOnized are always sure to
please the general crowd of listeners,

cessful in MI LeVy's new bill. Jean
Rogers is bass singer of considerable
repute, and his voice yesterday was
heard to advantage in the Song of the
Desert" while his associate sang
mabel Lee" in a decidedly pleasing
if somewhat amateurish manner.
Other new comers for this weeks
bill are the Rappo sisters, who do &C.
centric and Characteristic dances in
unusual and picturesque Russian cos
tune. The Russian czardas and
sword dance was brilliant and enter
tanning spectacle, and frequent quick

ing and diversified list of numbers.
