CHICAGO MAIL IN
SMO HOURS
FAST TRAIN PUT ON HARRIMAN
SYSTEM HOP GROWERS'
BIG PROFITS.
Portland. Oct. 12. A fast mail
rain between Chicago and Portland
hat will bring Eastern mail to Ore
;on in much less time than Is now
equired has just been put on by the
larriman lines. The train will car
y no passengers and will make the
un between the two cities In 60 or
..2 hours, clipping off from 10 to 12
tours from the present schedule. In
his way the Harrlman lines expect
o meet the shortened schedules of
he Hill roads, which have put in fast
rains from St. Paul to Puget Sound.
Hop growers are having their inn
ags, with the prevailing quotation
or the Oregon crop at 25 cents per
ound. The average price last year
as 7 cents, in 1907 7 cents and in
996 12 ceats. The last high priced
ear was 1904, when the Oregon hop
ent to 45 cents and away back in
882 there were sales as high as
1.23 per pound. In some respects,
he market this year resemble that
rf 1882.
Light crops all over the world are
e3ponslble for the prevailing high
rices. The Oregon crop is the
Ightest since 1896. The estimate of
0,000 bale for the -year's yields, n
his state Is considered about right,
vlth Washington's crop 15,000 bales,
compared with 17,000 bales last year,
md California has about 60,000 bales
:his year compared tq 68.0QQ bajes,
ata season.
It is expected this year will mark
he first of a series of high-priced
Jrops. This year, the next and pos
sibly one or twq more, will mean
large profits, to grqwers. After that,
Respectfully, p

because of high prices having stimu
lated production, more hops will be
grown than are needed and the
price will drop again.
Ground will be broken early In De
cember for a big cement plant near
Ills city that is expected to contrib

building material used in this ter
ritory. The new industry will have
i capacity of 1500 barrels dally , at
the start, with provision for enlarged
facilities later. It will cost $1,000,000.
The plant will consist of 12 buildings,

There was a large attendance of
North Country residents at the
meeting of the county court at
Troy, Saturday, to consider the mat
ter of a bridge across the Grande
Ronde river at that point. County
Judge Olmsted, Commissioners

veyor Merryman were present, also
Mr. Eberhart of the Columbia BrlOge
company, who took measurements at
tie two sites deslared to be prac
ticable and will submit estimates as
to cost, etc,
There was of course unanimity on
the part of the residents In wanting
the bridge, and It is needed so bad
ly that all, without exception, were
willing to forego their preference as
to site in order that nothing should
stand In the way of the speedy or
dering of the construction of the
bridge. Site is, Jeft wholly to the

NORTH COAST TO
LAYRAILS SOON
100 MILES TO BE IN OPERATION
JAN. 12 SURVEYING UP
MILL CREEK.
Special Dispatch to Portland Journal.
North Yakima, Wash., Oct. 9.
The North Coast road will have 100
miles of line In ooeratlon 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
'iave a separate contractor on each
nile of grade that Is not completed.
President Strahorn, who is here,
nade the startling announcement
hat engineers have started surveys
hrough and east of Walla Walla, and
ilthough not willing to make any fur
her statement as to his plans, in
erence is drawn that the line will
JO projected through the Blue Moun
alns Into Idaho.
This gives support to the conjecture
hat the North Coast and the Chlca
,'o & Northwestern are allies or that
he North Coast is to be connected
vith the big Chicago line.
All right of way for the North
Joast from Walla Walla to North
Yakima has been obtained, but Ht
le has been done on the line west
'rora this city.
Construction gangs are at Kenne
vick, Attalla and Granger. At the
atter point crews are working both
last and west. Grading for 75 miles
s completed.

The eagerly lookedor change In
time of the branch train was made
Sunday , and everybody along the

la even hotter than the first one, as
he morning train leaves three-quarters
of an hour later, yet reaches iLa
Grande at the same time, about 2:30,
