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.

State Must Pay for Lockers.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 20. The State of Washing
ton recently sought to have the General
Government pay from the allowance for
the militia organization the expenses of
equipping with Army trunk lockers the
barracks used by the National Guard of
that state. These lockers are part of the
equipment of the permanent barracks
at Army posts, and are used by the en
listed men as a place of storage for
extra uniforms and other clothing. The
militia law left to the state the duty of
providing an armory and the current ex
penses found necessary for the security
and preservation of the arms, clothing
and equipment -furnished by the General
Government and, as the trunk locker is
a part of the furnishing of the barracks,
it is held by the War Department that
the state must pay the expense.
