In Interest of Adequate Agricultural Display at Portland Carnival Like That of O. R. & H. Co. The first circular to be issued by Gen eral Freight and Passenger Agent Miller, of the Southern Pacific's Oregon lines, came out yesterday and was In the inter est of an adequate agricultural display at the forthcoming Carnival and Exposition in Portland. The circular is addressed to all agents and reads'as follows: The Southern Pacific Company will make a large and creditable exhibit of farm and orchard products from territory tributary to Its lines In Oregon, at the Portland Carnival and Exposition, which opens September IS, j and each agent is requested to do his utmost towards making the undertaking" a" success. To this end, I -wish you would immediately call on the prominent real.estate dealers, or others, at your station, and endeavor to se cure any samples of grain (in the sheaf), grasses, vegetables, etc. that they may have collected, showing the productiveness of the country. Also try to secure samples of sreen and dried fruits grown in your section. Be careful to see that all exhibits are labeled with the name and 4clnd of product, .as well as the name of the producer, so as to attract particular attention to the locality in which It was raised. Bill all exhibits to the undersigned free of charge, referring to this letters as authority, which cancels all previous Instructions. The object of this project is tombre thor oughly advertise the resources of Western Ore gon, wlh a ylew of thereby inducing immigra tion, and in this connection I would suggest that you call on the -editors of the local news papers and ask them to make public mention of the matter, soliciting exhibits of all kinds tor the carnival, which will be well cared for while in our hands and returned to the owner wheni through with if desired. As the time for preparation Is rather short, let me urge that you give this matter personal and prompt attention. Mr. Miller says the Intention is to make for Western Oregon a. display similar to that hitherto arranged by the O. R. & N. Co. lor the products of its terrtiory. He believes this Is one of the places where Western Oregon's light 'should shine. Toward Month of Coluiribia. CHEHAXJS, Wash., Sept. 4. A party of seven Northern Pacific Railroad engineers, in charge of Mr. Baxter, went to'Pe Ell yesterday. They are reticent as to their work, but It Is assumed that they will talce up the survey for a pass tram the Chehalis River to the mouth of the Columbia. this offer on the basis of what he says the company is paying in almost every county In the state. His -offer was based on the following: Taxes on. main line In the county, $6600 per mile; main line side track, $1320 per mile; Tacoma, Olympla & Gray's Harbor trackage, main line, $5280 a mile; side track per mile, on Tacoma, Olympla & Gray's Harbor, $1320. First Tral Over New Road. ST. HELENS, Sept 4. The first train of cars, a construction train, ran from Ka lama to Woodland today. Tracklaying is progressing at the rate of one mile a day. Railroad Xotes. The annual meeting of stockholders of the O. R. & N. Co. will take place in Port land today. While no intimation has got abroad that any considerable changes are to be made at this meeting, there is never theless much interest in it because it Is the first meeting to be held since the great railroad combination was effected. The San Francisco Call the other day said that C. H. Markham, who has just gone from Portland to be assistant freight traffic manager of the Southern Pacific In San Francisco, was a relative of Traf fic Director Stubbs, and intimated that that accounted for his rapid promotion. Portland friends of Mr. Markham who know the facts say that there is no re lationship whatever between him and Mr. oiudds, out tnat -Mr. jiarknam and O. D. Shepard, the general freight agent over whom Mr. Markham was jumped, are related. WANT AN. OPINION FIRST. Northern Pacific's Baclc Taxens. OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 4. The North ern Pacific Railway Company owes Thurs ton County in back taxes for the years 1S97-S-9 the sum of -$47,000, the principal of which amount is about $30,000, the re- t mainder being interest and penalty. The company paid the 1900 tax. Yesterday Jay Sedgwick, tax agent of the company, was in the city and made an offer to the County Commissioners to compromise the company's indebtedness, but as yet the Commissioners hacve made no sign that they will accept It. Mr. Sedgwick stated that his company, rather than contest the valuation placed on property in this coun ty by the Assessor, would be willing to pay the sum of $25,000 In full of all back taxes for the years mentioned. He made County' Asks Legal Advice on Clos ing the Draws. An opinion concerning the power of the Board of County Commissioners to regu late the opening- and closing of the bridge draws has been asked by that body from the District Attorney, a letter of whicn the following: is a copy having been sent by Judge Cake to Mr. Chamberlain upon that subject: Will you kindly render an opinion to the board upon the question as to whether or not the County Court has the authority to keep the draws upon the bridges oVer the 'Willam ette River at this point closed at certain hours, for the purpose of accommodating travel upon same? District Attorney Chamberlain will an swer the same at his earliest convenience. The matter was Informally discussed by the Commissioners at the meeting yester day, and an order was made requiring the foremen of the different bridges to keep a record for one week between the hours of 6 o'clock A. M., and 6 P. M., daily, of the movement of steamboats, and also to note and keep a record of the time of the heaviest traffic across the bridges by pedestrians by street-cars, and by bicy clists. On week hence the Commissioners will probably be prepared to act. The Commissioners think that under the deci sion of the United States Supreme Court the rights of steamboats are not para mount, and they have the right to make the restrictions suggested, but it was considered advisable to obtain the views of the District Attorney before taking any steps. There was no one present yesterday at the meeting of the Commis sioners In the interest either of the steam boat men or the traveling public, but one steamboat man, who met Commis sioner Mack on the street remarked, "You can't do anything about it." Mr. Mack answered, "Well,-we will try." The opin ion was expressed that it will be sufficient to close the draws 15 or 25 minutes at a time.

Polk's New Directory Gives Portland 107,001. R. L. Polk & Co.'s Portland Directory for 1901-2, which is now in press, and which will be issued within a few days, gives Portland a population, of 107,991. This is a gain of 17,565 over the United States census figures of last year, and a gain of 4966 over the population which the di rectory gave Portland last year. The di rectory figures for 1900 exceeded by several thousands of official census figures, as they Included adjacent suburbs, such as Mount Tabor. Montavilla, etc., which are in fact a part of the city, though not within the legal city limits. The de partment decided to allow them to be Included in the city's population. Speaking of Portland's population this year the directory says: The same substantial growth which for many years has Indicated this city's fortunate loca tion and environment continues. Probably the increase in population is greaer numerically than In any previous year of Portland's his tory. Since January 1, 1000, empty houses by scores in the suburbs of the city have been reinhablted, until it is almost Impossible to discover the sign 'for rent" save upon some half-erected house. Long before dwellings arc completed they are rented, and this fortunatp condition has stimulated building to a degree which marks an epoch of progress and im provement scarcely equaled In any year's rec ord. Speaking of the industrial prosperity of Portland, the directory says: The same conditions have attended the in dustries of the community. In nearly every line of its numerous and important manufac tures the year has been marked by improved conditions. The great lumber mills have been running night and day to supply the vast de mand for local building and shipment East and westward. Recorded shipments have been passed successively until -the very largest car gos of lumber ever stowed in any vessel ha3 been shipped from our mills. Great factories, idle for years, have been renovated and set to work, adding to the annual product many million feet of lumber. Huge towing steamers, with their raft! of logs, are encountered in every vista of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, and at the present rate of production the annual total will soon reach 100,000,000 feet. Doubled capacities In iron works, Hour mills, shipbuilding, tanneries, the erection of a large woolen mill, the building of acres of ware houses, mark a solid progres and ever-extend-Ing enterprise. The directory also speaks at consider able length of the commerce of the port, tells of its growth, and predicts, in view of the past, a great increase for the com ing year. It is expected that thp. dlreotnrv win be ready for distribution some time next Week. It will ho hminrl In nllvo-cnlnrorl boards, and will be double-stitched. JOHN BARRETT IN VERMONT "Will Mingrlc With, the Prominent Politicians and Fishermen. "WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. The Hon. John Barrett has gone to Vermont. Be fore leaving the city, however, this mem ber of the Pan-American Congress, and Asiatic representative of the St. Louis, Exposition, stated that he was going to his "native state," Vermont, to attend the annual meeting of the Vermont Fish and Game Protective -Association. "A curious thing about it (the association) is that those who attend the meetings are always the most prominent politicians of Vermont," said Mr. Barrett, in his characteristic strain, by way of expla nation. "In other words," he continued, "the best fishermen and sportsmen are the best politicians. Besides the home politicians, the association always alms to have some man of National reputation as a guest of honor, while other guests are also invited." He added that Vice President Roosevelt would this year be the guest of honor, and that he himself would be among the other guests. Grand Excursion to Cnstle Rock.
