In George Washingtons time Alexandria-or
Bellhaven as it was at first known along about
the middle Of the eighteenth century--was one of
the most prominent ports in the United States and
seemed to hold out every promise of extensive
development in the future George Washington
himself took hand in booming the port, which
developed an extensive foreign trade The docks
were crowded with warehouses filled with corn,
tobacco and other products while in the harbor
were always to be found many of the largest class
of cargo ships of that period loading and dis
charging a variety of commodities. AS the Amer
lean terminus of a heavy overseas's trade Alex
andria became we'll known in shipping circles in
England, and it was thought for time that the
port on the Potomac would overshadow Balti-
more Then came the various influences that
combined to bring about the commercial eclipse
of the little city SO dear to the heart of the
tons liherator. One of the first of these the
establishment only few miles away of the capt.
tai of the nation, which speedily overshadowed
Alexandria in various ways. Then came the
building of railroads, which diverted much traffic
to other channels, and finally the Civil
helped to put blight upon the community
which had long been one Of the strongholds of the
Lees of Virginia.
But even in this twentieth century neglected
Alexandria gets ION the map least one day
each year-namely on the 22d Of February, when
with each recurring anniversary Of Washngton's
birthday there Is big celebration in the little
city that Is filed with landmarks and objects
identified with the private life and public career
of the leader of the Revolution. Often the presi-
tent of the United States goes to Alexandria by
ooat or trolley to participate in the exercises,
and the governors of Virginia and Maryland are
Invariably invited. On such occasions the town
which is located in closer proximity to historic
Mount Vernon than Is any other community, ap-
pears almost too small to accommodate the
crowds that invade her public places. For, be 1t
known, for all that there are handsome, we'll
paved business streets that afford route OF
parade for the procession that is an invariabIe
feature Of this holiday, there other highways
and by ways in the staid, dignifed, conservative
old town that readily convince the visitor that
they have undergone little If any alteration since
the days of George Washington.

conspicuously before his countrymen. Here in
the old Carlisle house, which remains to this day
one OF the chief show places" of the historic
old town, George Washington and other leading
men OF the colony had lengthy conference with
the British commander the night before the
expedition set out upon the campaign which was
destined to so down in history as "Braddock's
defeat"
The old Carlisle house, which is assuredy one
of the most interesting structures in the United
States fell sadly into decay some years ago, al
though a move looking to its complete restoration
George Washington was frequent guest at
and when after a social function in Alexandria
he returned to Mount Vernon by boat it was al
most invariably from the Carlisle house that he
set out the terraced grounds of the mansion
slop1ng down to the river, rendering 1t convenient
for General Washington and his house guests to
step into the barge to be rowed to his
house farther down the Virginia shore of the
Potomac. 1t was also General Washingtons Gus
tom to sup at Carlisle house each 22d of February
when he came to Alexandria to attend the Birth
Night Balls" which we're instituted in his honor
In Alexandria after he to fame as the hero
Of the War for Independence. These balls were
held at Claggetts tavern and constituted the
preme height of Alexandrias social glory.
General Washington most intimately ident-
fed with the history of Alexandria from the year
1853, when he purchased considerable property In
the town. He showed himself good citizen by
becoming member of the Friendship Fire En-
CINE company. This was a volunteer organization

Mount Vernon Token Returned

When Mount Vernon, the home of Washington.
was restored some 80 years ago the various
states were asked to send some token to be
placed In the rooms The women of Kansas sent
solid walnut, hand carved seal of Kansas to rep
resent this state. For 80 years the beautiful seal
has been standing in the former home Of the
Father of His Country and 1t has just been re-
turned to the Kansas Historical society to be
placed in the exhibit of Kansas curios.
The piece is carved from one solid piece OF ma
tive Kansas walnut, one of the few perfect pieces
of walnut wood found In the state A search of
several months was required to find tree suit
able for the work. One was found in Coffey
county and was cut down expressly for this cary
ing. 1t is four feet long and two feet high and
is intended to go over the door of some hall.
The seal was carved by the late Henry Worrall
of Topeka, the first artist In Kansas He worked
all one summer on It, In the center is the great
seal of the state painted in colors in oil by Pro-
fessor Worrall. Around the seal are the words
Great Seal of the State of Kansas January 90
1861" carved by hand each letter in relief.
Around the seal are grouped the products of
Kansas.
When the servant quarters were restored at
Mount Vernon, Kansas school children raised the
money to pay for the restoration. 1t then
decided that Kansas had sufficient representation
among the relics in the home and the great seal
was returned to the Historical society.

for any such thing as a fire-fighting
department with paid employees was,
of course, totally unknown in those
days. Tradition recounts that not
only was the Father of His Country q
supporter of this old-time fire-fghting
organization, but that on the occasion
of more than one fire he ran with the
machine" in the good old-fashioned
way. Another organization which
rivals the veteran fire company
in interest is the Masonic lodge
of which Washington was mem
Der. and the lodge rooms Of
which in the city hall at Alexandria
are filled with Washington relics Of
priceless value.
Among the buildings in Alexandria
which attract much attention from
visitors is the old colonial mansion at
the corner of Duke and st. Asaph
streets, where Lafayette and his suite
were quartered when the distinguish
ed Frenchman visited this country
and where great ball was given in
his honor. Not far distant is the build
eng occupied as the firstFfree school in
America school established through
the bounty of George Washington.
On Fairfax street, near Duke, is the
First Presbyterian church, built in

town house of Lord Thomas Fairfax,

of the Georgian period and yet in a
perfect state of preservation. Persons
who essay to tour Alexandria" by

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING I'M
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made Of mum.
Der of men farming In a large way
Indicates that even with the extreme
expense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put ON the market
for less than So cents a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over Is
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost Of production and freight 6S
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheaA
OF 17R cents and for his high-grade
wheat Of 191a cents: and though this
Is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, 1t Is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level A mat
