SAN ANToNIVs FUTURE.

DAN hN lONlO y VI OIsb'
Few cities in the southwest have
as many and as powerful forces
working out for them great des-
tiny as our own city Of San An
tonic.
This city is already better
known as health resort than al
most any city in the south, and is
rivaling even Denver as refuge
for victims of pulmonary dis
eases.
1t is centrally located with refer
ence to a rich and rapidly devel-
oping agricultural district, and
easily holds its own as the princi-
pal distributing point of an area
larger than the New England and
Middle States combined.
1t is at the hub of a wheel whose
spokes of nearly equal length
radiate about 100 miles each to two
Of the principal gateways into
Mexico, Eagle Pass and Laredo,
and all of the international traffic
Of those cities pass through
San Antonio. The same is true in
a large sense of the Mexican COM
merce via Ell Paso, and the South
ern Pacific systems vast traffic
with Southern California.
1t is about 160 miles againTt
Arkansas Pass, where the great and
conservative banking house Of
Alexander Brown & Sons has not
hesitated to enter into the con-
struction of great deep harbor,
with all those accessories of land
and town developments which
have come to be known in these
days as boom operations. Yet so
great are the attractions Of a deep
water enterprise on our coast that
one OF the leading banking houses
in the world has permitted the
world wide use of its potent name
and reputation to invite the people
Of America to invest their capital
and earnings in our state, and at
the very gateway Of San Antonio's
This is most significant fact,
and will bear careful reflection as
to its bearing upon the future of
San Antonio and all the region to
which this city stand as metropo-
lis.
Again, it is about two hundred
miles to Velasco, another promis-
ing gateway to the sea; and but
little further to Galveston, the
leading port on the Gulf Of Mexico
after New Orleans.
The geographical position OF this
city thus becomes worthy of con-
sideration in any estimate of it's
future developement.
1t remains for our own people,
however, to so improve their OPP
portunities as bring about reali-
cation of the advantages we pos /
sess. While natural advantages
count for much, a broad, active
and enterprising public spirit in
counts for more in work
ing out the practical problems of
a city's development.

ers of having fieeced them of $160 in a
bunco game at Portland a few days
ago The White brothers arrived in
Portland about. a week ago from Minne-
sofa. They looked green and were picked
up by pair of bunco men, who prom
ised them jobs herding cattle at s35 a
month, after which they fieeced them out
of s165, all the money they had. In or
der to prevent any complaint to the po-
lice, the Whites were kept secluded un-
til the steamer State of California was
ready to sail They were told that they
were going to be taken to cattle ranch,
and were escorted to the steamer. In
order to make it certain that the
Whites would not leave the boat, Pier
son and Barton accompanied them
aboard, intending to slip off just as the
steamer was pulling out.
The elder of the brothers took step
which spoiled the little game He found
the captain of the vessel and narrated
his experience to him. The skipper then
set watch at the gangplank, with in
struc lions to allow none to depart. The
result was that the State of California
started with bunco men as well as vic
tins aboard.
After the ship was we'll out to sea the
swindlers appeared on deck and tried
to square themselves with the Whites.
but the latter declined to listen to any
proposition. Barton and Pierson then
changed their tactics and endeavored to
entice the brothers to the hurricane
deck, with the intention, so the White
boys believe. of throwing them over
board. They were repulsed again, how
ever, and nothing further occurred until
the ship was docked in this city, when
the prisoners were handed over to po-
licemen

his pretty wife, Annie. whom he mar
ried less than three years ago. Mr..
Oberholtzer accuses his wife Of infidel-
ity and names John Kelchner, a single
man, residing In Philadelphia. as the
correspondent. Kelchner has been ar
rested and Is held in $1,000 bail for his

was married to Annie NJ. Weidner, Of

borough. The young husband is en-
ployed by the Commonwealth Title In
surance and Trust company. Of Phila-
delphia. in consequence of which he Is
away from home every day. and when

they were eventually detected. and the
application for divorce on the part OF
the husband followed.
