H AGAINST SECTION HANDS BRYAN WILL CARRY NEW YORK BY BIG MAJORITY CANADIAN PACIFIT? SHOWS BIG INCREASE In the face of the mechanics' strike and the business quiet the monthly statement of the Portland office of tho Canadian Pacific for the August just comlng-to a close will show an Increase of 20 per cent over the same month In 1907. The present month will be the largest in the history of the Portland office of the Canadian Pacific. Although the fact that the sale dates for eastern excursions do not extend Into September would explain a slight increase in business under normal con ditions, the 20 per cent increase can only mean, to the minds of the Cana dian Pacific officials, that prosperity Is on the wing again and that, tile finan cial depression is over. It is claimed by the local representa tives of the Canadian Pacific that the strike has not injured their business in any way, and that it is practically won by the railroad company. The train re ports on C. P. R. ocean-to-ocean trains received dally in this city show that the trains have not been over four hours late reaching Vancouver, while the ma jority have been in on time. They claim that the union car builders have been almost entirely replaced by non union men.
