No matter how favorable the situation
may be, town or city may be ruined
by the short sighted policy of its citi-
zens, in driving away enterprises by re-
fusinS them aid and encouragement,
which would add to the material wealth,
business Importance and inhabitants of
the place. We have seen towns, with
the brightest Of prospects ruined, and
dwarfed to the size of village in this
way; while another town near by, rak-
ed in all the enterprises and became
populous, and its citizens wealthy If
we want prosperity as city, and as in
dividuals, we must have enterprises of
a nature to draw business, and distrib-
ute money. @.s4. =. ILL.,.

LARGE WHEAT CROP SURE.


Weather During the Past Week Was
Favorable in the Northwest.
PORTLAND. June 6.--The Oregon weather
crop bulletin issued today says: The cool,
partly cloudy weather and general showers
that have prevailed during the past week
have been of inestimable benefit to all
vegetation. Wheat prospects were never
better at this time of the year throughout
the entire state. If no unusual weather
occurs during the present month the wheat
crop will be the largest ever harvested.
New York, June 6.-Last years crop be-
ing all moved, and the movement of the
coming crop mot yet started, British
steamships of the tramp species are taking
cargoes to Liverpool for mere song. They
have to have ballast of some kind
to bring their propellers under water.
Cargoes destined for San Francisco can
now be shipped to the California coast, via
Liverpool, at lower rates than they can be
sent direct from here. All the ships in
Liverpool are anxious to sail for America,
even if they take cargoes for almost MOTH
ing, in order that they may be on hand to
take back the wheat crop.
SAN FRANcIsco, June 6-"There will be
no difficulty about moving our large wheat
crop this year." says George w. McNear.
sThere is plenty of tonnage here and
plenty to arrive. The number of ships on
their way here is large than is usual at this
time of year. By October there will be
plenty of them. The crop reports from
the Sacramento valley are very good, but
the reports from the San Joaquin valley
are not very encouraging. There is a
general feeling that wheat will bring a
good price this year"

A Sing Sing Convict Escapes.

NEW York, June 6.-Joseph Shannahan,
convict on the way to Sing Sing to serve
sixteen-year sentence, escaped from a
deputy sheriff at the Grand Central depot
this morning. Shannahan was one
of batch of eleven prisoners to
be taken to Sing Sing. They were
divided into three groups. The Sec
ond group, in which was Shannahan,
in charge of Deputy Sheriff Burke, had
just stepped on the platform of car when
Shannahan's hand shot up and the hand
cuff fell off. Shannahan jumped across
the platform and made for the entrance to
the yards. As soon as he jumped Deputy
Sheriff Burke fired shot after him and
started in pursuit He fired three shots
more and was gaining on Shanahan when
he tripped on the track and came down,
dislocating his shoulder and receiving
other injuries. Shannahan dashed on to
Forty-fifth street, where a cab was waiting
for him, and he jumped in and drove off.
The theory of the escape is that Shanna-
han had a handcuff key furnished him by
confederates.

VANCOUVER, b. c., June 6.-TSpecial. T.
A bold attempt was made at an early hour
this morning to burglarize the residence
OF Mrs. York, 412 Keefer street. Mrs.
1ork's little boy was sleeping in a
back room upstairs, and about O'Clock hs
was awakened by noises in the yard be-
low. Cautiously opening the window of
his room, he looked out and saw thres
men underneath, one of them try.

The little fellow at once aroused his

lars Immediately made off, The little boy
says he would recognize one of them
again, although he would perhaps not be
able to describe him very accurately. This
is the fourth or fifth attempt made to burg
larize different premises in this city From
what information can be gathered, there is
gang of Italians in town just now who
came here from Seattle, and whose pres
ence looks suspicious.

The Corwin to Overhaul Poacher.

SAN Francisco, June 6.-The United
States revenue cutter Corwin has been in
structed to overhaul the steamer Hattie
Gaze, which sailed today, ostensibly for
Unga island, Alaska. 1t is stated that the
real destination of the Gaze is Bering sea,
where she will engage in seal poaching.
The Gaze will probably put in at Victoria,
and it is expected that the Corwin, which
sails June 10 for the North, can easily
overtake her.
PoRr TOWNSEND, June Especial. The
officers of the Pinta are authority for the
statement that III. B. NJ. ship Nymph
will soon go to Berlng sea on cruise.
If England declares closed season the
Nymph will probably seize such Victoria

PORTLAND. June e.-Sidney Dillon, presi-
dent of the Union Pacific, arrived here to-
day. Dillon is accompanied by S. H. H.
Clarke, general manager of the Union
Pacific; Edward Dickinson, assistant
manager; Judge Dillon, of New York,
chief counsel; 0. w. Minke, comptroller:
J. II. l. Mcconnell, superintendent of
motive power, and L. H. Korty, superin-
tendent of telegraph. In an interview
President Dillon said: ''The trip is purely
an inspection tour for the purpose of be-
coming personally familiar with the situa-
ton of the Union Pacific in the Northwest.
We found the road in good condition, and
1t compares favorably with any in our sys-
tem." None of the party were willing to
discuss the Sound extension situation.
The party will probably remain here till
Monday, when a trip TO Spokane will be
made.
Clarke is the only man in the party of
Union Pacific officials now in the city who
is inclined 20 be communicative When
asked what improvements the Union Pa
cific intended to make in Oregon, Mr.
Clarke replied that he could not at present
answer that question. He knew that GER
tain extensions and improvements ought
to be made, but as the company at present
did not have any spare money for any such
purpose, nothing much could be done now.
As soon, however, as the company can get
the required money, it will, said he. proceed
with various needed improvements on this
coast. 1t was Sidney Dillon, by the way,
who was mainly instrumental in causing
the construction of the Oregon Short Line
and making Portland transcontinental
terminal point.
1t is understood that the officials will
decide upon resuming work on the Sound
extension about the middle of August.
