SIXTY-TWO HOURS
FAST TRAIN PUT ON HARRIMAN
SYSTEM HOP GROWERS'
BIG PROFITS.
Portland. Oct. 12. A fast mail
train between Chicago and Portland
that will bring Eastern mall to Ore
gon in much less time than Is now
required has Just been put on by the
Harriman lines. The train will car
ry no passengers and will make the
run between the two cities In 60 or
62 hours, clipping off from 10 to 12
hours from the present schedule. In
this way the Harriman lines expect
to meet the shortened schedules of
ihe Hill roads, which have put In fast
trains from St. Paul to Puget Sound.
Hop growers are having their inn
ings, with the prevailing quotation
for the Orejon crop at 25 cents per
pound. The average price last year
was 7 cents, In 1907 7 cents and in
1906 12 cents. The last high priced
Tear was 1904, when the Oregon hop
went to 45 cents and away back in
1882 there were sales as high as
$1.25 per pound. In some respects,
the. market ths year resembles, that
of 1882.
Light crops all over the world are
responsible for the prevailing high
prices. The Oregon crop is the
lightest Bince 1896. The estimate of
'0,000 bales for the year's yields in
this state is cqnsiiered about right,
with Washington's crop 13,000 bales,
compared with 17,000 bales last year,
and California has about 60,000 bales
this year compared to 68,QQQ bales
lata seasoq.
It is expected this year will mark
the first of a series of high-priced
crops. This year, the next and pos
sibly one or twq more, will mean
large profits to growers After that,

LAY RAILS SOON
100 MILES TO BE IN OPERATION
JAN. 12 SURVEYING UP
MILL CREEK.
Special Dispatch to Portland Journal.
North Yakima, Wash., Oct. .
The North Cotuit road will have 100
mile of line In operation in Yakima
valley by Jan. 12. 1910, which is
the time limit of the North Yakima
franchise and will proceed to connect
North Yakima with Walla Walla.
No extension of franchise will be
asked, Instead the company will In
crease Its building force and will
have a separate contractor on each
mile of grade that Is not completed.
President Strahorn, who Is here,
made the . startling announcement
that engineers have started surveys
through and east of Walla Walla, and
although not willing to make any fur-
her statement at to his plans, in
ference Is drawn that the line will
bo projected through the Blue Moun
tains Into Idaho.
This gives support to the conjecture
that the North (.'oast and the Chica
go Northwestern are allies or that
the North Coast j to be connected
with the big Chicago line.
All right of way for the North
'oast from Walla Walla to North
Yakima hai been obtained, but tit
le has been done on the line west
from this city.
Construction gangs are at Kenne-
wick, Attalla and Granger. At the
latter point crewa are working both
aast and west. Grading for 75 miles
is completed.
DR. j. R. PRATT.
Bead the following from Dr. Pratt,
aur evangelist. It is to the point.
May these sentiments be fully rea
lized In our united effort:
Experience has taught us that the
widest and best results are secured
by all the evangelical churches of a
community uniting formally in
ierlea of evangelical meetings, for
the following reasons:
1st. It draws pastors and churches
into close sympathy, and Is a eplen
lid testimony to the world when all
lenomlnatlona are seen laboring cor
dlally together.
2d. It encourages the entire mem
bership of all the churches to feel
responsibility for. and freedom to
labor in the meetings.
3d. it insures the combined Influ
ence of the churcne as a leverage
in securing the attendance of the
unsaved.
4th. It clean the field largely, for
the time, of local gatherings, social
)r otherwise that might hinder serl
ousnesa in the community and gives
the movement right of way for the
time being.
Gin. it gives from the start, large
meetings, which the unsaved are far
more liable to attend and become in1
terested in, than smaller gatherings,
where they are conspicuously the tar-
jet for close preaching.
