VIII Bring About New Tendency

VIII Bring About New Tendenc,
in Transatlantic Service.
One of the most striking features in
connection with the North Atlantic
shipping trade during the last ten or
twelve years has been the great in
crease in the cost of fast steamships,
says the London Times In 1899 the
Augusta Victoria cost about 6 ZOO 900.
The Deutschland of the Hamburg
American Company cost 9550,000 and
the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria nearly
100000. The Mauretania and Lusi-
tania cannot haye cost much less than
91,400,000 each, and the two new
giant vessels which are being built
for the White Star Line service be-
tween Southampton and New York
will probably cost nearly as much
1t Is somewhat curious in connection
with this point that the Hamburg
American company should be able to
obtain consistently better results than
the Norddeutscher Lloyd, and perhaps
one explanation of this is to be found
in the fact that the fleet of the Ham
burg-American company consists main
ly of the intermediate type, whereas
the fleet Of the North German Lloyd,
like that of the Cunard company, con-
tains a high percentage of vessels of
the express type. The theory used
to be held that the larger the steamer
the greater the profit, but there ap-
pears to be limitation to the appli-
cation of this theory in the case of
the large fast vessels which have been
recently introduced. 1t is not incon-
ceivable that the general tendency of
the trade will in future lie In the di.
rection of improving the accomoda.
ton offered the steerage passengers.
who, after all. are the backbone of the
business.

somewhere in the past in which he had
been lost in the darkness, stumblinS
and cropping and calling her to

light. 1t must have been a dream. he
argued, and perhaps this was only a
continuation Of it. Yes no; she was
there in visible presence. bending over
tiny embroidery frame: and thew
were alone together.
"Ardea!" he said, TREMENDOUSLY.
She looked up, and her eyes were
like cooling wellsprings TO quench the

but for his mother. He remembered
the Saturday evening quite clearly
now: Japheth's shout; the two men

ceding the crash of the blow when he
had recognized one OF his assailants
and guessed the identity of the other.

colorless tone.
And you owe me nothing at all, you
would say. l might controvert that.
But no matter; we have passed the
Saturday and have come to the We'd

he been here?

Tom, sinking back on the pillows.

her tone was kinder.

ties of the nation to stimulate a
stronger tie of labor and of capital
toward the undeveloped land.
When this fact was brought to the
attention of Arthur E. Stilwell, presi
dent of the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient Railway and of the United
States and Mexican Trust Company
in his office in the Singer tower he
quickly realized that a land show
in New York City would be eagerly
welcomed by hundreds of thousands
OF its citizens anxious to learn the
agricultural resources of our country
and to secure some knowledge of the
opportunities to be found in tillins
the soil
Mr.. Stilwell at once authorized his
interviewer, Mr.. Gilbert McClurg, who
had directed the national irrigation
congresses in Colorado and Utah, to
organize the American Land and Irri,
cation Exposition, to lease the Madi-
son Square Garden and to hold New
Yorks first land show there in No
vember of the present year.
The first New York land exposition
is to be thoroughly representative OF
American agriculture as we'll as the
most picturesque and instructive call
OF the land ever presented in the ma
ton. Exhibitors will display their
soil and it's products or show mans
and relief models of their holding;
Agriculture as it is generally prac-
ticed, dry farming and irrigation
methods will be demonstrated. Nov.
ing pictures, illustrated lectures, liter.
allure, growers and agents will demon.
strate the possibilities of American
SOILS. In fact, the exposition will per-
fecty illustrate that from the land
comes all permanent wealth and that
lie on the land affords the greatest
measure of independence.
Big Men Encourage Agriculture.
President Stilwell has secured for
the exposition a thoroughly represan.
tative advisory and governing board
1t is made up of the presidents of
twelve OF the great railway systems
OF the country. United States Sen

The American Land and Irrigation
Exposition will be attuned to voice
the cry of Back to the sol-the

the farmer the railroad man, the in

1t will put the man on the place;
it will show the tillers of worn out
land how to rejuvenate their farms or
where best to seek and find richer

thrush; it will point the way for the
immigrant and direct the landleSs
