Qresham Makes Improvements In

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

the receipt for the eorresponding'auar-

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

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
