THE WI TEAM.

About 2:15 Tuesday afternoon q
gayly decorated train came in over
the Santa Fe. Flags, banners,
streamers, notices, ETC., were con.
spicuously fastened from every
vantage place for show, and it show
ed up elegantly, but not for Texas.
The train was one of eighteen cars,
seventeen of which were loaded
with wheat from Sumner county
Kansas, and consigned to the Texas
Star Flour Mills, of Galveston, and
was decorated for inspection along
the route travelling only in the day
time.
The shipment included all the
wheat that could be gathered up in
Sumner county, being 20 car loads,
but was not all in this train, being
the largest shipment of wheat ever
made to Galveston.
As was stated in the outset, this
train showed up better for Kansas
than for Texas for the reason that
Texas has as fine wheat growing
sections as are in the world and
ought at least to make enough for
home consumption.
The BANNER is proud that Texas
has large -four mill that can utilize
train loads of wheat, but it would
enthuse a great deal more over
train load from wheat growing
sections OF Texas than one coming
in from Kansas.
The rear car of this train contain
ed thousand dollar pair of horses.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Cordray's New Theater.

Tonight win be the first presentation in Seat
tie OF the famous comedy drama, ''SamI of
Po.en," with the popular and favorite come
dian, Sam Morris, in the title role. This play
will give Mr.. Morris full scope as a comedian.
The character persouated allows full liberty
and license for the actor 10 enlarge upon. 1t is
needless to say Mr.. Morris win be a success in
this, as his ability as a clever dialect comedian
has been fully proven. This play was presented
by the same company at Portland and made a
great hit, playing TO crowded houses eseh
night. Miss Lane will assume the role
of Celeste, the French adventures, g
character something of the same order
as Camille, In which Miss Lane made such q
favorable impression here. Miss Gilroy will
personate the dashing Rebecca, a bright SOU
brette role in which Miss Gilroy will be seen for
the last time in Seattle under this management.
The scenic effects viii be unique, the opening
act showing dry goods store in complete de-
tail, in fact much the same scene as is used in
Il +. Dixeys "Adonis," which furnishes SO
much laughter in the peculiar mode OF doing
business. The play of "Sam1 of Posen" will be
preceded by the bright little comedietta, "a
Silent Woman" with Clay Clement, Agnes Lane
aud Johnny Williams in the principal roles
The auditorium attraction will be excellent.
Matinees will be given Wednesday and Saturday.

NEW York. June 2-A San Francisco
dispatch has been published here in which
it was said that the famous Anaconda cop
per mine, near Butte, Mont. had been sold
for SIS 900 TO an English syndicate.
The owners Of the mine are Marcus DAILY,
J. B. Haggin and Lloyd Tevis. Mr.. Haggin
was seen by Tribune reporter last
night and he said positively there was not
a word of truth IN the report, and he did
not know whether the mine ever would be
sold. Marcus Daily is reported TO have
said less than week ago that there was
not enough money in the world to buy
the Anaconda mine. About ten years ago
he sold half interest in the mine, of which
he was the sole owner, IL being then mere
prospect, to j. B. Haggin and the late
Senator Hearst for $4,000. Many millions
were spent in developing. with the result
of making the mine powerful factor in
the copper market with its heavy an
nual output. The mine is at present
shut down, as the railroad which carried
the ore has increased the freight charges
so greatly that the owners refused to pay
the rates demanded. Haggin said be was
ut present having survey made. and
he would possibly build a railroad from
Anaconda 10 Butte.

the Anaconda mine, as saying the prop
erty had no. been sold.

vANCoUvER's SUGAR WAR,
Canadian Duties Reported Altered In
an Important WAy


VAScouvER, h. c., June 2I.-TSpecial. T.
The sugar war has now assumed new
phase insofar as the Vancouver refinery
is concerned. The sudden change is due
TO press report received here this MORN
Ing, and which states that the authorta-
tive announcement is made that the Cana
dian sugar duties, both on raw and refined
are TO be altered SO as to conform with the
American tariff, and thus give the Cana
dian consumers as cheap sugar as Ameri-
cans get. When shown the dispatch Man
ager Rogers expressed some doubt as to its
authenticity, as he said the gov
eminent was not likely TO COM
municate its intentions through the
medium OF news agency. If
such q change is TO be made the first an
nouncement would be made on the floor
OF the house of commons. And" he con-
tinued, 'even if such a change were made
IL would intensity the heat of the little
fracas we are having with Spreckles Is To
whether he shall have our local market or
We shall have IL ourselves. If such a
change as is reported were made it would
even place as in q better position 10 sell
sugar in the Puget sound market and.
while IL Is true tina. il would make our
local trade less profitable, we would be SO
situated that we could carry on an export
business which would test our present ca
pacity TO the utmost"

CROP NEWS FROM sLAUGHrER.
Fears Of the Louise Preventing the Usual
Contracts.


SLAUGHTER, June 21.-[Special. Grave
fears are expressed concerning the hop
louise both in Green and White river val
leys. True it is that they have not done
any damage thus far. the vine not being
sufficiently advanced to be disturbed by
their operations, but the fact of their pres
ence and the probability of their continu-
ance until the blossoming, when they will
get in their destructive work, is causing
much apprehension In the minds of the
ranchers. Very little contracting is being
done. Not being absolutely certain of a
crop. as In former years, they hesitate
about committing themselves to any tran
saction when they might not be enabled to
deliver the goods. As q consequence,
money that would this early in the sea-
son have been received from contracts and
spent here is withheld, and business gen.
orally suffers correspondingly.
Many of our garden truck growers are
having serious time with the potato crop.
In some instances they have re-planted
the crop three times over, and are not
quite certain Of even the third planting.
This arises from the prolonged cold and
rainy weather that rots the seed very soon
after 1t is put in the ground. This relates
more particularly to the valley, as the
bluff land product does not appear to
suffer in any respect from the rainfall.
The May crop, also, is at the mercy of this
Indictment weather, its enormous growth
and weight being borne down under the
frequency of the storms now prevailing
There is nearly 100 acres in this vicinity
cropped to potatoes, and it is more than
probable that not one-half of the crop an.
ticipated will be harvested. 1t is fearfully
discouraging to many of those toilers who
have invested their all in this kind of en-
terprise, hopeful of good paying results
The outlook is not cheering one, though
if the weather changes and keeps settled
they expect to pull through all right.

an information against S. s. Murphine,
and he will have hearing before Squire

from the school. The result of the muddle
viii be watched with great deal of inter-
est by the people of Snohomish county be-
cause of the prominence of the persons
involved in the quarrel. Mr.. Murphine is
very active politician, and it is said that
he can become candidate for any county
Office by Democratic nomination.
