The meeting of the business men was exciting. Charges that graft had crept into the management of the It was stated that the fair could be given for ess money than was proposed, if tbe management was economical. They; said the exposition would be a big factor in the ending of hard times As an alternative, they threaten to have an industrial fair of their own in 1912 under the auspices of the various commercial bodies of Japan, if the cabinet does not restore the original date of the prooosed world's fair. The matter is to he discussed at a special cabinet meeting. A large amount of hop acreage ha been plowed up. and in the yard that remain the cultivation ha been no ticeably insufficient, and it i expect ed that the crop will be very short, not averaging more than Sun pounds to the acre.

The picker will work on a strictly weight basis this season, and iu most case the growers will pay $1 a hun dred, but it is reported that some of the growers in the lluttcvillc district will pay only 70 cents a hundred. he low market price of hops has discouraged hopmen, so that in many sections very little care ha been given the yards.

Accord ing to reported plans, they have a site of 25 acres in view and will soon com mence work on the plant. The founda tion for this rumor lies in the fact that John O'Shea spent several days in this city last week. But real estate men, with whom he consulted, assert that he was merely looking for a residence. FRUIT PRICES WILL BE HIGH Growers Eipect Quotations to Soon Advance In East.

Thou sands of passengers on transconti nental trains of the Canadian Pacific are blocked today between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. Over 20 heavily laden passengers trains have been stalled by vast washouts, which have swept miles of track from the moun tain grades into the valleys. Several cloudbursts . last night and this morning did more damage, and it is feared it will be days before even temporary tracks can be built around the dangerous places. The railroad company is feeding and caring for the marooned passen gers. Most of them are bound for New York, Boston. Chicago and Mon treal from the west and east. It is impossible to learn the exact extent of the damage done by the floods, because the telegraph and tel ephone wires are down in the storm- swept disrtict.

Paper made from bamboo fiber is said to retain it whiteness and to es rape attack on the part of insects. Professor Carmody produced a copy oi a paper-makers journal, printed on paper made in 1879, from fiber of bamboo, which showed no sign of yellowing, and was otherwise in a perfect state. Portland, Sept 1 Portland lodiy i ihe grrjli.l wheat shipping port in Ihe country Over Iransnoi l.itioii linr coming into the city more win at wa tent hi ih.ui to any oilier ship ping poll in the I'uilrd Suits Hie shipping record fur Portland sluov thai !!!, cars of esport wheat were received in the city. This is nearly double the record of 111 car estab lished Saturday l.it, when Ihe wheat shipping records ( I he port were haltered. (In scteral different occasions re cently Portland shipment have lopped those of (. hicigo, w hich i the record wheat shipping port of the world. The Saturday shipment of 111 cart went a In. id of the Chicago ireeipts and established Portland ai a record holder. Today's record, how ever, put Portland far ill the lead, even over Chicago, and establishes the pre-eminence of ihe port a a wheat shipping center of world wide importance. Ihe rapid climb in the sie of the shipment is shown by llm record of d.l car f.ir Friday last, not a small shipment by any means. l iguriiig Iroin a basis of 21(1 car shipment, it is seen that approximate ly 7U.KUU sack of wheat reached Port- and, since there arc on an average of 30 sack to the car. Ihe sack a Ihry are shipped from the field weixlt from 100 to llo pounds to Ihe saik. t'.stimating the averaue weight 0 be 15 pound to the sack, it will be seen that a great flood of H..i;il0O0 pounds, or MI.W bushel of grain, reached the etly. The aver age price of the wheat is UJ reuu a bushel, making the aggregate value? of the shipment alone reach the enor mous sum of SI.Shh.uso. To put thr vast shipment in a shape where it size can he readily grasped, it might be noted that the 210 car wlncli reached the city, if put together iit one train, would reach in a ulid line for 1 3-3 mile.
