Portland, April 14.— W ith the de­
parture this month of seven char­
tered ships now loading at Portland,
and five loading on Puget Sound, the
greatest season In the history o f the
North Pacific grain trade will be
practically over. There are a few
straggling ships coming along for
May-June loading, and at least two
more steamers wlll lead wheat for
the Orient, but the movement has
been so rapid this season that May 1
will find the business nearer cleaned
up than ln any previous "b ig crop"
year. When the returns are all ln
for April, it will be found that Ore­
gon, Washington and Idaho for the
first time In their history, have
Bhlpped (flo u r included), 40,000,000
bushels o f wheat, and still have some
on hand to tide over the dull season
uDtil the new crop arrives.
The 1907 wheat crop o f the three
states was a record-breaker by near­
ly 10,000,000 bushels, reaching a
grand total o f 58,000,000 bushels,
and on account of the good prices
prevailing throughout the season, it
mpved more rapidly proportionately
than any o f its predecessors.
Not
only was the wheat crop the largest
on record, but barley, which has been
steadily Increasing in prominence as
one of the great staples o f the Paci­
fic Northwest, also established a new
mark with a crop o f nearly 10,000,-
000 bushels. Oats, exclusive o f the
crop grown ln the La Conner dis­
trict on Puget Sound, Is credited with
a yield of 12,000,000 bushels ln the
three states.
These figures which show a grand
total o f 80,000,000 bushels of the
three leading cereals, are compiled
from accurate statistics, kindly sup­
plied by the railroad companies,
which moved the big crop and by
prominent grain exporters In various
parts o f the three states. The figures
fall short of some o f the earlier esti­
mates made on the crops, and natur­
ally are several m illion bushels
smaller than the government figures
on oats and barley.
W ashington’s 40,000,000 bushel
crop o f wheat dwindled to about 35,-
000,000; that of Oregon was slightly
under 18,000,000, and Idaho’s was
somewhat over 5,000,000 bushels.

Washington,
April
14.— Should
President Roosevelt’s present desires
be realized, he will spend the first
year after his retirement from office
In traveling outside the United
States.
Mr. Roosevelt's Itinerary,
however, has not been determined.
His plan Is to Bee some o f the rugged
and little frequented portions o f for­
eign lands, as well as to travel the
beaten track o f the tourist.
That
the president will Indulge ln his
fondness for hunting big game Is be­
lieved by those to whom he has con­
fided his Intentions.
It was at the recent dinner of the
Boone and Crocket Club ln this city
that the president last told of his In­
tentions for next year. He was told
of the opportunities for hunting In
Alaska, and urged to arrange for a
trip there. This, he said, would in­
terfere with his plan for foreign
travel and would have to be consid­
ered, If at all, at some future time.
Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as adding
at this time:
" I f W illiam H. T aft Is nominated
and elected President, which would
be very gratifying, It would make Im­
possible criticism If I were abroad,
to the effect that I was dictating to
him and being followed, or that I
