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

DEATH MAY DEFEAT LAW
Caldwell, Affidavit-Maker, Crit

NEW YORK. 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.

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

The full commission will no doubt

Mr. Burton stated that conditions are

the history of banking In more ad

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.

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. When from any cause the circulation becomes infected
with impurities and humor3, it loses its strengthening powers and begins to
disease and irritate the delicate tissues, and produces Eczema, Acne, Tetter,
Or some other itching, disfiguring skin trouble. S. S. S. cures skin diseases
of every kind by going down into the circulation and neutralizing and remov
ing the impurities and humors. It changes the quality of the blood from an
acrid, fiery fluid to a cooling, health-producing stream, which, instead of
irritating and inflaming the skin, cures and nourishes it by its soothing,
healthful qualities. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., may be used for any tem
porary comfort or cleanliness they afford, but skin diseases cannot be cured

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

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. Early yesterday morning he
was removed to the hospital and placed

ABANDON ALABAMA STRIKE
Mlneworkers Admit Defeat in Coal
Region.
BIRMINGHAM Ala., Aug. 31. An of
ficial order calling off the strike of coal
miners in the Birmingham district was
issued to all the companies in this section
today. It was signed by President Lewis.
Vice-President White and Secretary
Treasurer Ryan, of the United Mine
workers of America.
The order ends a strlka which begajK
July 6. and which has ben marked by v
much violence. 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.
The operators take back all the men
except those who have committed acts
of lawlessness. i
