AUGUST EXPORTS SHOW liREP.SE Flour and Lumber Shipments Foreign Beat Figures for Month Last Year. OUTLOOK FOR SEPTEMBER Grain Shipments to Foreign Porte Will Break All Records for Month. Great Amount of Steam Ton nag Due Marine Xotes. Foreign exports from Portland for the. month ot August exceeded those of the corresponding period for last year by long odds. While there was no wheat dispatched during either month, there was a quantity of flqur and lum ber. The French bark Eugene Fautrel. which was finished last night, failed to clear from the Custom-House, and as a result she will figure as a September hip. and her cargo will head the list for the first active month of the cereal year . Flour exports amounted to SZ.4S7 barrels with an assessed valuation of 1329. S68. This was 'carried on two steamers and all were destined for po-ts In the Orient. The Alesia, which cleared Saturday, carried close to 60.000 barrels. This was largely due to the fact that the rate to Oriental porta will be advanced today $1 a ton, and buyers on the other aide took ad vantage of the last ship out on the old schedule. Lumber exports ran up to 10.699.852 feet, all of which went across the Pa cific, with the exception of the cargoes of the Ilford and Ancalos. which were cleared for Copenhagen and Liverpool, respectively. The value of the foreign lumber shipments was $141,487. Dur ing August of last year the lumber shipments amounted to 9,803.307 feet, with a valuation considerably in excess of that placed on the shipments for the month ending yesterday. Coastwise shipments were practically nothing. There is no demand for lumber In any California port, and the steamers which have not been tied up have en tered the general cargo business. September will smash all records for wheat exports. There are now on the list for thta month's loading seven steamships, with a total tonnage of 11.147, and sailing craft which raise the total to 31.156 tons. The amount of wheat which will be sent out, foreign, will exceed 2.000,000 bushels. A full cargo of barley will be added to this. September shipments for last year amounted to 697.526 bushels of wheat, and 194.444 bushels of barley. Puget Sound ahtpments will fall short of those of last year. A number of craft have been dispatched from there to receive cargoes at Portland. Receipts of wheat are Increasing daily, and upward of 100 carloads are arriving dally. Shippers will experi ence no difficulty In loading the ton rage in sight, unless there is a start ling decrease In the 3aily receipts from the wheat belt In Eastern Oregon and Washington. MAY BLOW CP SUNKEN BARGE United States Officials Order Re moval of Derelict Monarch. United States Engineer have notified the owners of the old barge Monarch, which has been lying for several years on the beach opposite the Alnsworth dock, that the hulk will have to be re moved from her present position fir the officials will blow her up.

The craft was the property of the Oregon Round Lumber Company, and suits for damages kept her In the hands of the courts until a short time ago. The owners won In the suits, and the hulk was sold to an individual for a nominal sum. Seattle Shipping Xevrs. SEATTLE. Aug. 31.

Death may defeat the processes of international law In the case of Robert Caldwell, known as the "great American affidavit-maker," who is wanted in Eng land on a charge of perjury in connec tion with the celebrated Druce case. Caldwell, who Is well along in years and who failed physically and men tally after the famous trial In which a dukedom was at stake. Is in the Manhattan State Asylum on Ellis Is land. Ills condition is such that he probably will never leave the Institu tion alive. He Is sinking gradually. "Most of his time is spent In bed." said Dr. William Malcolm, superin tendent of the asylum, yesterday, "and he Is very weak mentally and physt? cally. There may be no Imminent dan ger, but his condition is not promls lng." In the extradition proceedings, under which It was expected to take Caldwell back to England, a postponement was taken until August 2, when the case was postponed indefinitely on the re port'of Dr. Malcolm. WORK FOR HONEST REFORM B u rt o n Says Monetary Commission Will Forget Party Politics. CLEVELAND. Aug. 81. Congress man Theodore E. Burton, who has Just returned home from London, where he attended the session of the sub-committee of the National Monetary Commis sion, of which he Is a member, said to day that the work of the commission Is sure to assume very great Impor tance. It was organlxed with a view to a thorough study of the defecta of the present currency and banking sys tem and the framing of measures for necessary changes In existing laws and relations. It is the disposition of all the members, Mr. Burton said, to take steps to Ignore as far as possible par tisan considerations and seek to secure needed reforms In the National banks and the Issuance of bank notes. Another sub-committee has been con sidering proposed reforms In the ad ministrative management of banks, especially in their relations to the Treasury Department. Among the propositiona Is one to change the pres ent law so that bank examiners shall Eugene Commercial Club Members Plan to Make McKenzie River World's Greatest Trout Stream it - T - Mi tjftv.

The full commission will no doubt meet soon sfter the Presidential elec tion and will probably make a partial report, Mr. Burton says. Mr. Burton stated that conditions are very materially different In the bank ing business abroad, but in order to have a full and thorough understand ing of the subject It is essential that the history of banking In more ad vanced communities be thoroughly traced and that present methods be continually studied. HE FEARS L0SS IN HOPS Grower Says Current Prices Don't Pay Harvesting Crop. MT. VERNON, Wash., Aug. 27 (To the Editor.) Last Tuesdaya Oregonlan notes a number of hop contracts at 7. 7 and S cents, with the comment that the sales st.ow but little profit to the grower. The fact is it shows no profit, but on the con trary a loss of 2 or 3 cents on the year's expenses. It will cost at least 7 cents per pound to pick, dry and bale the hops, and that leavea practically nothing for the pre vious expenses of cultivation and bringing the crop to maturity. Then, what la the use of the grower assuming the cost and re sponsibility of harvesting a crop for the mere cost ot harvesting? There is some excuse for a man selling at such price later on. If that is the best he can do. as he harvested on his own ac count with the hope of covering his year's expenses. If not making some profit "get ting his seed back.'" so to speak. But It ap pears to be manifest folly to contract at mere cost of Harvesting, and run the risk of burning your buildings down in the bar- a?.lther should a grower turn his yard and buildings over to curbstone speculators to overrun without some substantial remun eration and Indemnity for cultivation and expenses already Incurred, as is sometimes done. Such a course would be piling up the dread surplus with a vengeance with out hope of reward. "A word to the wise is sufficient," let us hope. J. POWER.

Nothing has been done to protect the stream or to replenish its trout supply.

R The skirt is not simply an outer covering of the body, but through its thousands of pores and glands it performs the great and necessary work of regulating our temperatures, and also assists in disposing of the refuse and waste matters of the system by the constant evaporation that goes on through these little tubes. To perform these duties the tissues and fibres which connect and surround the pores and glands must be continually nour ished by pure blood.

IIS SHU FMCTID KARL LOYDGREX, AGED 9, SUF FERS TERRIBLE FALL. Tumbles Over Clackamas River Precipice While or. Picnic Near Estacada. Nine-year-old Karl LoydgTen, the only son of Leonard Loydgrenk who conducts the Loydgren grocery at 720 Mississippi avenue, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital yesterday morning suffering from a fractured skull and a broken leg, as the result of a fall of over 30 feet whue in search of a drink of water while out on a picnic at Es tacada last Sunday. Dr. Gilbert, who is attending the boy, says the hope for Ills recovery is slight. The Loydgren family went for a Sun day outing to a cool spot on the Clack amas River bank at Estacada. They took with them a dainty lunch and, after rambling about under the trees a while, sat dvwn and enjoyed their little spread Th boy grew thirsty, and not desiring to drink the milk, of which there was a plentiful supply In the rio aio basket, he started down the river bank to get some water. At this point the bank Is very steep, and" la bridged over by steps leading down to the wa ter's edge. His heel caught on one of the narrow steps and he stumbled for ward, lunging through the guardrail on the side of the stairway and was precipitated more than 30 feet to a pile of rocks below. A man at the water's edge went to the boy's assistance and carried htm to the top of the bank, where his par ents were still enjoying their luncheon and unaware of the catastrophe to their son. The picnic was broken up Immediately and the boy was taken to Dr. Addicks, In Estacada, who tempor arily dressed his injuries. He was car ried home on the car, and another doc tor summoned. This one discovered that the skull had been fractured, and that the little fellow was in serious danger. All this time the boy had not once lost his consclonsness and complained but little.

I ne omciai umn, reviewing the history of the strike, says: "The climax was reached when th Governor of Alabama said that the miners should not be permitted to live In tented camps and that public meetings should not be held In the mining communities of the state during the strike. In other words, the strike must end. regardless of the cost to the miners or any rights they have in the premises." The end of the strike means that prac tically all of the mines In the Birming ham "district will be on a non-union basis.
