this was sunday and she might come

Helen was always uneasy with ner

BEEF TRUST I'M ARGENTINE?
South American Meat Selling In Lon
don at 7 Cents Per Pound.

The Argentine Republic is looking
for u market for the vast quantities of
beef and mutton that are being raised
in that country.
While the American consumer is pay.
ing the beef trust unprecedentedly high
prices for fresh meat. Argentine meat
of excellent quality is selling in Lon
don as low as cents pound. The
minister of public works of the prov
ince of Buenos Ayres states to the
United States consul there that since
1908 the average price obtained for AZ.
gentine meat in London has fallen
from Ais cents per kilo (2.2 pounds) to
80 cents last year and that conSign-
ments of first class meat have brought
only ii cents kilo.
The minister holds that it is abso-
lutely necessary that new markets for
Argentine meat should be opened up.
The Italian government had negotiated
for $4,000 cattle during the current
year, but there is hitch as to trans
portation.
The American beef trust, it is charg-
ed, holds contracts with Argentine
ranchers which stand in the way Of the
shipment of enough cattle thence to
the United States to affect the price in
this country.

GOING TO STUDY WILD
LIFE IN THE FAR NORTH.
Jersey NaturaIsts Will Brave Hard
ships In Interest of Science.

Two New Jersey naturalists, Freder-
lex K. Vreeland of Montclair and Wil-
liam f. Patterson of Millburn, are 60
ing into the wilds of the extreme north
ern part of British Columbia and AL
berta to determine the northern limit
of the habitat of the bighorn sheep of
the Rocky mountains. to ascertain if
in the northern part of British Colum-
bia the bighorn and the Stoni sheep
occupy the same territory and to bring
back specimens of both varieties. as
well as specimens of the white goat,
the mountain caribou and brown bear
for the Smithsonian institution in
Washington.
They will start in July, and they ex-
pect to be gone three months. They
go first to Montreal and thence over
the Canadian Grand Trunk Pacific to
its western terminus at Frazer river,
in British Columbia. 500 miles north of
the boundary lines. Then, with ca
noes, they will paddle their way via
the Crooked river to the Parsnip river.
When the headwaters of the Parsnip
are reached the explorers will make
portage to the headwaters of the,
Peace river and re-embark.
The Peace river breaks through the
Rocky mountains not far below the
arctic circle. through a gorge that is
one of the wonders of the world, and
then. following devious course, final
ly debouches into the Mackenzie river.
But the explorers do not propose to go
farther than the great gorge. For
many weeks they will tramp the noun
tains at either side of the Peace river,
shooting such specimens as they desire
and photographing the country. They
expect to secure many photographs of
wild life in its native haunts,
A Canadian law forbids the exporta-
tion of wild sheep, goats and caribou,
but in the case of the New Jersey nat,
uralists this prohibition has been with
drawn at the request of the Smithso-
nian authorities.
Mr.. Vreeland hunted mountain sheep
and goats in the Canadian Rockies
several years ago. and one of the fin
est mounted specimens of the white
mountain goat to be found in America
now adorns the Montclair Athletic club
parlor Mr. Patterson is both natural
ist and photographer.

OLD DOCUMENTS FOUND.
They Relate to Revolution Days.
Trunk Full of Them.

EnSy hSidtS TO ncNoIuIiof Lays
Trunk Full of Them.
In constructing the New York barge
canal a trunk full of valuable old doc
uments has been discovered at Clyde,
that state. Among the documents are
two genuine George Washington sig
natures to furloughs granted soldiers
during the Revolution, an old account
book of the original John Jacob Astor
and partial record of Lafayettes
journey through New York state after
the war. There are also a number of
old deeds dating back to Il time before
public record was made of such papers.
Duplicate copies were written on
single sheet OF paper. and the two were
roughly torn apart and their genuine
ness was afterward proved by match
ing the irregular edges.
Among the tracts of land acquired
was small lot on the edge of the
MonteZuma marshes. on which stood a
little two room shack belonging to q
hunter and trapper. In it the trunk
was found. 1t was originally the prop
erty. of Judge Tremper of Kingston.
who lived during and just after the
Revolutionary war.

Conventions
Incidents and Some of the
Most Interesting Mo-

Grant was renominated, and his selec.
ton was a foregone conclusion.

said Mr.. White, and he recounted nu-
merous occasions when he was with
the famous soldier, including a three
days visit at Ithaca, much of which

this interview was given. Gas I learn
ed to know him better 1 had always
more and more of feeling of respect
for him. Grant was elected.
"The convention nominated Henry
Wilson of Massachusetts for vice presi-
dent. The retiring vice president, Mr..
Colfax, was an able man, but he had
allowed himself to become too complai-
SAINT of certain goings on in Washing
ton, and his friends were willing to al
low him to go into obscurity."
The last convention the venerable
statesman attended was that of 1884,
when Blaine was nominated,
"The Republican party in New York
state was split into factions" said Dr.
White. "'The one might be called the
administration faction, of which Mr..
Platt was head; the other the Robinson
faction. Hating each other so badly.
