Washington.-Ship of American

73 tons, and assembled all except the
smokestack and the tender, so that
they could move away under their
own steam within few hours after
their arrival in France. was among the
accomplishments of the United States
army transport force under stress Of
war, and has since been continued.
More than 400 of these locomotives
were so shipped from New York In
a few months, 1t was learned here
with the lifting of the war censorship
regulations, and these We're in addi-
ton to 1900 which were shipped in
sections, nine to a locomotive, packed
in. cases. The ships used to transport
the locomotives complete were of a
special type with three holds, each
hold measuring 60 by 102 feet, entered
bv matches 80 feet wide and 40 feet
long.
Into each of the three holds were
placed - locomotives-36 to a ship.
A bed or flooring on which they rest
ed for the voyage required more than
5000 tons of steel rails. The To-
comotives when in position were
braced with heavy wooden beams and
the space between the boilers to the
level of the top of the steam dome
packed solid with highly compressed
baled hay.
Compressed Hay Under Flooring.
On this hay another flooring was
laid, and on this floor was placed
the tenders-the smokestacks with
more haled hay or other light cargo,
packed in the space where coal is to
be carried. On top of the tenders was
packed still more cargo to the deck
level, and during the rush days" the
above-deck space filled with Grated
airplanes. When completely loaded
with the SO locomotives and other
cargo each vessel was carrying dead

tangled the great metal industries of
Australia in a grip until they had them
body and soul, and SO 1t was that when
the war broke out there was this great
metal industry, the Beer Sondheimer
in one shape or another, the Metallge
sellschaft, the whole controlling the
channels from which the metal came,
determining how it should be produced
and what prices it should be sold at
all over the world. What they did in
Australia they did elsewhere.
"In America they pushed out an.
other tentacle; there was company
called the American Metal company.
1t was company in which, out of TO-.
600 ealled-up shares. $4,000, or 40 per
cent, were held by the Metallgesell-
schaft at Frankfort, q per cent by
Mertons Of this place and the remain
ing Is per cent were held mostly by
hyphenated Germans, few being held
by bona fide Americans who were put

lutely acquit here the English share
holders, the innocent shareholders in
Mertons of all blame. They went into
this in a bona fide way, they did not
realize what were the designs of these
people; but am directing my remarks
here against the firm, against the
Met llurgische Gesellschaft, against
the great German octopus which DOM
mated the world, which stayed here
for four years after the war. 1t is
difficult to understand how they

sufficient to deny them license they

The loading of the locomotives is an
interesting sight. Steel railroad barges
carrying IA of the steel monsters are
made fast alongside a 100-ton capacity
floating derrick barge, in turn made
fast to the ship. An ordinary sling
OF steel wire is placed around the for
ward end of the boilers, another under
the supports to the cab, the signal
given and the locomotive lifted 40 or
90 feet in the air, swung over and
gently loaded into the ships hold. The
whole operation required but 20 min
utes, and it was accomplished with
the same ease and the same lack Of
excitement as prevailed on board a
steamship at an adjoining dock which
was taking on board 500-pound bales
of cotton.
The idea of shipping locomotives
complete was conceived when army
transport officers were informed that
England was shipping them across the

Happy Fields, Unknown to Noise and
Strife, The Kind Rewarders of In.
dustriai Life"-John Gay.

There are thousands today looking
for farms to buy, and with the hun
dreds of thousands of acres offered for
sale, there is no lack of opportunities.
But there are all classes of lands, good,
bad, and Indifferent, much of each.
The government of the Dominion of
Canada has no land for sale, but with
in the boundaries of the Dominion
there are unlimited acres of choice
land owned by railway and land COM
panies and private individuals. It
holds no brief for any, nor are any
of them clients. But it is to the in
tereSt of the Dominion to have the hun
dreds of thousands of acres placed IN
der cultivation, for every acre thus Gull
tivated adds to the revenue which helps
pay the government of the country. 1t
is with the purpose of setting forth
the agricultural advantages that Can
ada, especially Western Canada, pos
sesSeS, that attention is drawn to the
fact. The purpose is to place before
the reader truthful statements, and
advise the prospective settler as to
the necessity to investigate and in
Spect, leaving to his own deduction the
matter of his selection. Once he de-
cides, the government will render him
any further information necessary as
to location, prices and value of land,
and assist him in every way possible to
become settled.
The cost of a trip to Western Can
ada, to any portion of the three prov
inces-Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta-specially indicated in this
work, is but trifle compared with the
benefits that personal inspection may
give. Therefore the advice is to do
so. Low rates on railways will be ar
ranged and every opportunity afforded
for giving the country thorough and
careful examination. 1t may be that
you wish an improved farm, all ready
for occupation and cultivation; you
may want raw prairie, which only re-
quires blowing and the other prepara-
ton necessary for a seed bed, leaving
it to yourself to erect your buildings,
sink your well, prepare your garden,
and ascertain how close you are to
school, church, town and market. You
may wish to go into mixed farming,
combining the raising of stock with the
growing of grain. In this case you
will look out for some shelter from
sun, wind and storm, and want a farm
a portion of which may be cultivated
for grain, and pasture fields connected
with it. You may make this out of the
open level prairie, but you will do bet
ter to secure a partially wooded lot,
where water and pasture are already
at hand. You may wish to go into the
raising of cattle, or sheep alone; then
you will care less for the open prairie,
but select something that may cost you
less in the more northerly districts.
No matter what you may want unless
it be land upon which to grow cotton,
bananas or other tropical or semi-trop-
ical products, your inspection trip will
reveal to you that Western Canada pos
sesses possibilities beyond which any
literature you may read advises YOU
