Qresham Makes Improvements In Buildings for Coming Display. Cresham Multnomah county's fair promisee to be the equal this year of the two preceding onea. About $2,000 worth of the treasury stock boa been sold since the last fair, which ha cre ated an ample fund for making Im provemenU. The sum of $500 is avail sble out of the state appropriation for premiums on exhibits thi year, which urn will be increased by the gate re ceipts and the money from sale of con cessions. A large force of men are at work on the new sto k buildings and out-of- door pavilion. It ia intended to use the main exhibit building for no other purpose aftrr this than to house the display of agriculture, horticulture and art, together with exhibit of bus iness houses. The new building will be used aa an auditorium and dance hall and other public function. The i w stock pen will be ample and commodious and permanent, those of last year having been torn down. A n iw fence will be built around the grounds and suitable booths will be erected for small concessions. Postal Receipt Gain. Corvalli -The postal receipt of this city for tha quarter ending September 30 show a gain of 16.2 per cent over the receipt for the eorresponding'auar- ter of 1908. The gain for. the quarter that Mr. O'R rissn vnnlri haws Mitii-As4 ending September 30, 1908 over that home of the year previoua waa 23 per cent the agreement , between China and The falling off in tba percentage of IjaDan waa believed even than tn gain this year la attributed to the fact tain some provision inimical to the the purpose of receiving a reprimand lor alleged Indiscreet remarks in re spect to the relations between China and tbe United States. Such talk at present merely beclouds what, in tbe opinion of tboae who know, ia a serious situation. As previously Indicated, tha crisis in the diplomatic situation in China is not tbe outcome of any one act or cir cumstance. It i learned that negotia tions between China and Japan bad proceeded for aome time tinder tbe watchful eye of the United States and other nations, previoua to the signing of the treaty between China and Japan early in July. At the time tbe pact was signed it is understood to have been tbe belief of tbe state deoart- ment, based on information from Min ister Rockhill at Pekin and from other source, that the question at iasue be tween China and Japan would not be definitely concluded for at least two years. It I known that the Chinese foreign office thought it would take three years. Acting on this belief, Mr. Rockhill sailed for the United States on June 20, and Thomas J. O'Brien, United States ambaasador to Japan, sailed from Yokohama on leave of absence on June 26. To the aurprise of the state department, the treaty between Japan and China relating to the reconstruc tion of and concessions along the South Manchurian and Antung-Mukden rail roads waa s'gned early in July over tbe protest of China. Had this event been expected, it ia not believed here that Mr. Rockhill wouia nave lert nis post at rekin or Carry a Complete Line of the Best in General Merchandise at Lowest Prices Con sistent with Quality.
