HOW
Ctfmmittees Plan for County
and Grange Fair.
EXHIBITS BEING PREPARED
Business Men of Eastern Mult
i nomah County Have Promised to
Lend Aid Prominent Speak
ers of Oregon Invited.
GRESHAM. Auk. 22. (Special.) All
committees in chare of the work of
the proposed County and Grange Fair
are hard at work preparing for their
. exhibits. The fair will be on a much
larger scnle than was at first thought
pofHlble.
The. ground chosen comprises about
ten a. -res with Johnson Creek running
through It. and it is admirably adapted
for the purpose intended. The stock
theds and parade grounds will be on a
sightly spot, drained by the creek,
while the rolling places and side-hills
will be prepared for the out-door dis
plays of flowers, shrubs and nursery
products.
Dr. Lewis Dechman, who is in charge
of the horticultural department, has
arranged ground plans covering about
two acres for his displays. He will
have walks and terraces bordered with
suitable plants, Inside of which will
be the choice productions pertaining
to the exhibit.
Business Men Will Help.
The business men of Gresham have
promised to put up all necessary build
ings trtr display of stock and other ex
hibits. The Gresham Grange hall,
which is on the grounds, will be used
for office purposes and evening func
tions, while the Methodist and Bap
tist churches may be had for educa
tional features and lecture work.
It has been planned to have many
prominent men and women take part
in the educational work.
Several ministers from Portland and
other churches in the state and county
officials have promised to help. Their
assistance will be of great benefit and
serve to rdake the affair one of more
than ordinary interest, as the time will
be so arranged that visitors may have
an opportunity to see and hear some
thing at all times during the four
days.
Grounds Lighted Free.
Through the courtesy of the Port
land Railway Company . the grounds
and buildings will be lighted by elec
tricity, and there will be free tele
phone service, waiting rooms and all
other conveniences necessary.
Everybody in Eastern Multnomah
will be using a special envelope and
letterhead from now on until fair time.
A neat design has been engraved and
the stationery will be sold at cost to
advertise the fair. The committee on
concessions is preparing advertise
ments for bids on all privileges.
Everything In that line will be sold to
the highest bidders. A baby show will
be a feature and a voting contest for
a queen will be started next .week.
All committees report splendid pro
gress and much enthusiasm. In fact
everybody Is at work and Multnomah's
first county 'fair Is going to be a suc
cess If present Indications count for
anything.
TEAMS RUN NIP AND TUCK
TRI-CITY LEAGUE SEASON" EXDS
XEXT SUNDAY.
St. Johns and Kelso Pennant-Chasera
Will Cross Bats In the llair
Iialsing Season's Finish.
Great interest is being taken In the
Trl-City League game scheduled for
next Sunday between the St. Johns
and Kelso teams. On the outcome of
this game depends the championship
of the Tri-City League, the supremacy
pi either the Frakes or the Tigers.
As the percentage column now stands,
Kelso is in the lead, by a few points,
and the Hat Makers a close second.
The schedule calls for a double-header
next Sunday at the league grounds,
the Cubs and Frakes to play the first
game, and the Trunks to play the win
ner. . It Is conceded among the dope
sters and fans, that the hard-hitting
Milliners will fall on Harry Smith's
slabsters and win the first game,
thereby allowing them to enter the
second. At present the Trunks are
weakened, and the Milliners have a
good chance to win the second game.
And if the Apostles can put a sign on'
the Tigers, the Frakes will climb to
first place, and will practically win
the rag. On the other hand, the
Tigers may be able to put up a
stronger game than the fans expect,
and beat the St. Johns bunch. The Cubs
or Trunks might spring a surprise,
and take a fall out of the Milliners.
At present, the teams of the league
are divided into two classes, those
who have a look in at the finish, and
those who are In the down-and-out
cla3s. Of the former bunch, the Tigers,
Frakes, St. Johns and tvoodburn are
running neck and neck, each trying to
land the coveted rag; In the latter
group the Trunks. Cubs, Brewers and
Astoria Bohemians belong. The first
four teams are so evenly matched that
luck will be an important factor.
The coming game between the
Tigers and Apostles promises to be
interesting. The Kelao fans have
Hhartered two boats, and will come
drtwn to St. Johns In a bodv. They
will bring along ,a little of the long
green, hard-earned money from the
logging camps. Over $1500 has been
collected in Kelso, all of which will
go up on the game. St. Johns fan
will be there, and promise to cover
every cent of Kelso money that ap-
, p.;ars In the town.
The Apostles will have a very fnst
infield, in fact as strong a one-as the
average bush league team. Otto
Moore will do work behind the bat,
Ernie Califf has been delegated to dec
orate the mound, the tall skv-scraplng
lad Pokorny. McCredle's fast new In.
fielder, will take care of every thing
that comes around the initial "station,
Charlie Moore, of the last year's
Champs will look after the kevstone
sack, the little Dutchman, the Baron
Kchimpff, will endeavor to show the
St. Johns fan the way a man ought to
play short, and Miles Trowbridge will
he stationed at the difficult corner.
Just how Kelso will come on the field
is not known at present, but Erickson,
the Spokane leaguer, will probably do
the slab work. The other members of
the team are not known. Alex Chey
ene will handle ihe Indicator.
Sheldon Smells a Rat.
tfLJNCOLX, Neb.. Aug. 22. On the
ground that the movement Is In the In
terest of the corporations. Governor Shel
don has declined to appoint delegates to
the National convention, called by St.
Louis business men to recommend
amendments to state and National Institu
tions in the hope of harmonizing Federal
and state jurisdiction and authority. The
call cites the North Carolina conflict as
evidence of the approach of the danger
line. :
Does Not Hurt Street Railway.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 22-(Spe-cial.)
Considerable apprehension was
caused here by the news of the failure of
the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, of
Portland. Mr. Moore, president of the
defunct company, is also president of the
Washington Railway Company, which
company is now building a street railway
In this clty It was generally supposed
that the failure of the bank would so
affect the finances of the Washington
Railway Company as to cause them to
cease operations here. Information, how
ever, has been received here, and It is
very gratifying that the failure will not.
In any way affect the building of the
street railway. Foreman T. J. Nugent
has received orders to go ahead with
the work, hire as many men as pos
sible and push the work rapidly. There
seems to be plenty of funds behind the
enterprise.

BOUNTIFUL YEAR
" Continued from First Page.)
since pioneer days. Throughout
the entire year It has been from 2 to 5
cents a pound above last year, al
though, the supply . Is even greater.
Cheese, too. Is selling at from 16 to 17
cents a pound, whereas at this time
last year k brought 13 or 14. Oregon
now faces a demand for all cheese that
can be spared for exporting and this
commodity adds especially to the in
come of the Coast counties.
Another phase of dairying' that Is
coming into prominence and is bring
ing much money into the Willamette
Valley this year is condensed milk.
A number of large condensers now use
the greater part of the milk produced
for a raolus of more tha'n 20 miles
of the cities in which they are located,
and pay top prices to the farmers. A
large plant is now being located at
Albany and one in Yamhill County
which will increase the receipts of
these sections.
Lumber, the state's most valuable prod
uct, will, at least equal the value of last
FIRST CONCRETE BUILDING ON EAST SIDE.

year's output, although even approximate
statistics In this line are difficult to ob
tain until the close of the year. In 1906,
lumber to the value of J30.000.000 was
sawed in Oregon, and the surplus export
ed to the East, California and the Orient.
The price for lumber has averaged higher
this year than last and the product of
the outside mills has been larger. The
great Portland mills, however, were shut
down for some time because of a strike,
and leading lumbermen say that the value
will be practically the same as for 1906.
The fruit crop is one that Is bringing in
much more money this year than last.
In 1906 Oregon fruits were valued at
J2.S75.160. Just what the increase will be
It Is hard to say but the total will be
above J3,000,000. Apples, the chief Item In
the list of fruits, will bring an average of
60 cents a box higher this year than last,
according to F. H. Page, of Portland.
This Increase applies to all products of
the orchard. Bartlett pears are now net
ting the grower $2.25 a box, as compared
with J1.25 last Fall. The coffers of the
fruitgrower, like those of the farmer, the
stockman, the dairyman, the lumberman,
the wage-earner and the merchant, will
be full -to overflowing.
It Is too early yet to say with any de
gree of certainty what the value of the
state's salmon pack will be. Rast year
the salmon sold amounted to $3,000,000.
The catch so far has been rather light,
but the bulk of the pack Is always made
early in September. With higher prices
for canned and fresh fish last year's to
tal will doubtless be at least equaled.
The only product of the soli that will
not bring In more cash this year than
last is hops. There were 130,000 bales of
hops produced last Fall with a value of
$3,487,250. It Is estimated that this yield
will be duplicated this year, but the price
paid will not be so high. Nevertheless
it will be an Important source of revenue
and will furnish lucrative employment,
which can be also classed as recreation, to
thousands of pickers next month. Grow
ers will pay $1 a hundred pounds to pick
ers, which will net a tidy sum to many a
family.
Livestock Prices High.
Sheep are now at 14.30 a hundred pounds
on foot; hogs at $7, and cattle at $4.
These prices are higher than generally
prevail at this season and there Is de
mand for all Oregon stock. Plenty of
feed has resulted J,n finely conditioning all
stock and those who are engaged In this
business are prospering.
Stockralsing promises to assume much
more importance as an Industry with the
completion of the plant now being built
on the peninsula at Portland by Swift &
Co.. the great Eastern packing firm.
Very few Portlanders realize the great
significance of this plant to Portland.
The company has purchased 3000 acres
for a site, on which work Is rapidly go
ing forward. One hundred acres have
already bee cleared of brush and a large
dredge Is now filing the ground where
the main packing house is to stand. The
dredge is moving. MOO cubic yards of dirt
a day and when its work Is complete,
there will be a 40-foot channel In Colum
bia Slough. This plant is to employ 3000
men and will ship to all parts of the Pa
cific Coast, Alaska and the Orient.
Means Continued Prosperity.
Just as In the case of livestock, every"
other product of Oregon benefits both the
state at large and Portland. In fact the
millions of dollars of additional money
that will be received in Oregon this year
in excess of previous years means the
continuance of prosperity that this city
has felt so long.
That Portland is having an era of un
exampled prosperity cannot be gainsaid.
There are a score of outward evidences
everywhere one turns. Just as an ex
amnla. there are more than 500 automo-
"biles"7 owned by . private individuals In
Portland in addition to livery machines.
Of this number 222 have beed purchased
since the opening of the year. And Port
land citizens are not mortgaging their
homes to pay for automobiles either.
On the other hand Portland residents
are building homes thousands of them.
And also business blocks scores of them.
The construction movement has been one
of the mdst significant activities for
months past and promises to continue so
for months to come. There are now more
l"Class A" buildings under construction
than during all the previous history of
the city. Skyscrapers are going up where
frame structures have stood and a fine
class of homes Is being erected in every
part of the residence district. The build
ing movement for the year closing with
the beginning of the present month, in
volved an expenditure of J3.926.792 more
than the year Just preceding it. The
table by months follows:

With deposits of more than .$60,000,
000, Portland's old and substantial
banks are the financial center of the
Northwest. This vast amount on de
posit shows also the great resources
of local citizens at present. For many
weeks without a break this city has
been leading the country in the per
centage of gain shown by her - bank
clearings. This substantial advance In
volume of business done by the banks
is shown statistically by-these figures:

The, postal receipts are another good
Indication of a city's prosperity, and In
this particular Portland also stands In
the front rank. Only two months In two
years has there been a decrease and these
were August and September of last year,
corresponding to the Summer period of
the ' Exposition rear, when everybody re
mained In town, and then decrease was
very small. Up to last night,. August of

The situation has been reviewed briefly
by C. W. Hodson. president of the Port

president ofthe Portland Chamber of
Commerce. In a statement they say:
V'Flrst of all, the Pacific Northwest Is

"Every product of the farm, the dairy,
the orchard, the forest and the stock
ranch brings better prices than ever be

overstocked with any salable article, for
the demand has been extraordinary.
"The products of the dairy were never

result of the many millions being put

NE of the very best
- sources of informa
tion, when one is
inquiring about a piece of
property, preliminary to
making an investment, is
a streetcar conductor. lie
rides with people all day
long, going to and from
the different parts of the
city ,and he hears their
comments and . conversa
tions. Ask a conductor on
a Rose City Park car some
day what he thinks of the
place, from an investment
standpoint. One was over
heard to say: "There is
quite a difference between
Rose City Park now and
the first eray we started
running out here. See
those houses going up
over there? "Well, I have
traveled over a number of
new.carlines in this city,
and that means more to
me than anything else. I
have seen Portland's best
