2 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1907. PORTLAND AS WHEA LEADS T PORT Shipments in Eight Months In crease Nearly Fifty Per Cent. DECREASE ON THE SOUND Kalllng OH in Kxports Nearly Qne Half Immense Proportionate Gain In Portland Flour ' Exports Also. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. D. C, Sept. 20. Portland s domination- of the -wheat export trade on the Pacific Coast Is being sustained, ac cording to official figures of the De partment of Commerce & -Labor. The latest statistics giving the exports for the eight months closing in ' August show that Portland so far this year has exported 3,620,888 bushels of. wheat, as against only 2,354,638 'bushels from the entire Puget Sound district. In the corresponding months of last year Portland shipped 2,074,799 bushels, and Puget Sound's export wamore than double that quantity. Portland's trade shows a gain of SO .per cent over the eight months of 1906, whereas Puget Sound shows a decline of nearly 50 per cent, but in actual figures Puget Sound's wheat exports have declined much more rap idly than Portland's have advanced. The combined flour exports of Puget Sound have always exceeded those of Portland, but It is evident that Port land Is rapidly catching up to its com petitors to the North and, if its flour trade Increases In the future as it has during the past year, Portland will dominate not only the wheat but the flour export trade as well. In the first eight months of 190 Puget Sound exported 1,355,399 barrels of flour and Portland 352,084. Invthe corresponding months of this year Puget Sound exported 1.943,038 barrels and Portland 1,004,650. The percentage as well as actual gain Is largely in Portland's favor.

BAR QUI EMMA GOLDMAN RETURN OF ANARCHIST LEAD ER MAY BE PREVENTED. Wet Blanket to Bo Thrown on Tri ? mnplial Starch When She Comes From Anarchist Congress. NEW YORK, Sept. 20. (Special.) Emma Goldman, the high-priestess of anarchy, Is to be barred from the United States. Anarchists, unnaturalized for eigners, ex-convicta, persons with no visible means of support, undesirable citizens, on any or all of these counts the female firebrand of chaos may be halted on her triumphal return from the International congress of anarchy at Amsterdam. From Inner sources in the Immigration Bureau it was learned today that this de cision had been reached after the assas sination of President McKinley, which the murderer attributed to the inflammatory speeches of "Red Emma." Congress en acted laws barring out anarchists who knocked at our gates for admission. Prison bars have failed to suppress Emma's preaching of terrorism and de struction. She has thrived on small im prisonments and preached to larger audiences from cells than she could reach from her platforms. Perhaps a little ex clusion will succeed where jailing failed.
