Unless one visits one OF the
larger cities of the Pacific nortn-
west these days he does not fniiy
comprehend the fact that real
prosperity has hit the state Oh
Washington. In a city like Be-
attic, for instance, the payroll
which in 1914 was something
like 100000 annually is now
close to $60,000,000. The city
cannot house its people; there
are no vacant houses, offices can
not be rented, apartments are
in such demand that there is a
| long waiting list; one thing, how
ever, that shows real conditions
better than any other is the fact
that the city finds it utterly i'm
possible to solve the transporta-.
tion problem for the thousands OF
men who are engaged in the ship
wards, and it is likely that the
government will have to step IN
and work out some solution that
will enable men to get back and
i forth. 1t has been announced
that probably 10000 more ship

BURGLARS DO HOME
 WORK ON BIG SAFE
.(\ew York Herald)

The troup of Metropolitan burglars, which due to the high cost of explo- sives, is removing safes intact this sea son, is today doing home work on the safe of Antonio Orlando. MT. Orlando, who is making an uphill fight to re- tain a butcher shop at No 203 Mott street. notified the police to this effect at o'clock yesterday morning, when upon arriving bright and early for a day of quiet butchering he noticed that some enc had removed his outer door, thrown his counters as far as con venient and removed the colossal and absolutely guaranteed safe to some as yet unnamed destination.
 This muscular and somewhat bold eX- ploit has made even the police suspi- cious. On Tuesday morning the Auto mat restaurant at No. CO., Sixth avenue lost a safe which the management was | fond of in precisely the same manner and the robbery of Mr. Orlando's es- tablishment, combined with the partial dismantlng of the building, impressed fhe alert detectives as going a little bit too far
 The policeman on post, who was not disturbed in any way during the great removal. told the somewhat intentive ! MT. Orlando that he passed the store ! at 1 o'clock and noticed nothing un- usual. At ) o'clock he passed the store | again and things looked even less un- usual than usual. Then. of course, Mr Orlando himself came at o'clock and found scene which he is still describ- . ing with gestures.
 i The police, both uniformed and mys- ! terious, learned upon investigation thai the criminals. fearing to attract atten-
 tion to themselves, had kicked to frag ments a door leading from d hallway tc
