PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 23 (Spe
cial) Agricultural experts of the
country, who have been in session in
Portland during the past week,
closed their most successful annual
gathering Saturday with an attend
ance even larger than that at a re
cent convention in Washington, D. C.
The session was one that means
much to the Pacific Northwest for
It was attended by men who are keen
students of agricultural possibilities
and what they saw here Impressed
them. They were afforded an od-
portunlty to Inspect the various farm
ing districts of the state by means
of special trains run by the Portland
Commercial Club to Willamette Val
ley points and Hood River.
On these trips they were the
guests of the Commercial Club and
were escorted by a special committee
of prominent Oregon people who
gave all the Information desired on
the different districts inspected. The
results of the conventions will be far
reaching, It is believed by those who
are familiar with the work of the
organizations. President Kerr, of
the Oregon Agricultural College, was
chosen the head of the Association of
American Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment stations for the coining
year. President Kerr secured the
convention for Portland while In at
tendance at last year's session.

paper, the Chicago Record-Herald.
William E. Curtis, probably the best
known correspondent in the world,
was a Portland visitor during tho
past week. In discussing cne Rosj
City he said: "Portland is the best
city on the Pacific Coast and I would
rather live here than in any other
city of which I know. Portland is
farther along than any other city on
the Pacific Coast; by that It meaa
it is more mature than any of the
big cities of the West." These are
strong words, coming as they do
from a man who has traveled all
over the world.
An event of great Interest, especi
ally to the Pacific Coast, will be the
visit of 30 of the leading business
men of Japan, who will arrive on
September 6 for a tour of 50 cities
of the country. The . visitors are
coming to learn of the resources and
commercial methods of the United
States. The trip about the country
will be made In a splendidly equip
ped special train at a cost of (75,000,
contributed by the business Interests
of the United States. A committee
of prominent men has been named
to have charge of the visitors while
In Portland and arrange for their en
tertainment here.
THE SICK MAN
STARTS FOR HOME
Hurl iinaii, the Great 1 tit 1 1 road King,
Now Almartl Ship Hound for
New York.
The cable brings from Cherbourg,
France, tills important news regprd
'r. the physical condition of I he
great American railway magnate.
Tin- i able says that all doubt of the
serious condition of the health of
K. K. Haniiuati was removed tod'iy
when be was carried aboard the
liner Kaiser Wilhelni 11, apparent Iv
too weak to walk.
His appearance and condition in
dicated that the entire trip through
Europe In search of health had been
a failure.
The llarrlman pluck was strongly
In evidence, however, and after at
tempting to veil his movements In se
crecy to prevent any effect on the
stock market, he said:
"I am not In a serious condition at
all. The baths at Had Gastein weak
ened me and the German food dis
agreed with me. Then, too, 1 was
continually annoyed by the crowds In
the hotels and wherever 1 went. In
fact, knocking about the continent
proved very tiresome."
Accompanied by his wife, two
daughters and his son, his private
secretary and three servants, the
wizard of finance arrived here in a
special train from Paris this morn
ing.
Harrlninn's extreme weakness and
lassitude were shown when he wbb
helped from his private car. He was
almost lifted into a wheel chair and
was rolled from the railway to the
tender In which he was taken out to
the big liner. It was clear that he
was unable to walk and as soon as he
was on board the Kaiser Wllhelm II
he was taken Immediately to the
handsome suite that had been reserv
ed for his party.
llarrlman Intimated that as soon
as he reached America he would re
tire to Arden, his magnificent coun
try place just north of New York
city, on the Hudson.
He cable orders to have a suite
of rooms prepnred at Arden for his
'reception. The mansion at Arden,
which Is reported to be a chateau
such as America has never seen be
fore, Is not yet finished.

The new marriage law of the state
of Wahslngton which requires tho
contracting parties to show a certi
ficate that they are In good health
and that there exists no reason why
they should not marry, Is not taken
to kindly by parties matrimonially
inclined. A dispatch from Spokane
says:
'The new marriage law Is costing
Spokane nlononll the way from
$1000 to $1500 monthly and tho
number of marriages In adjacent
states between Washinutci couples
Is rapidly Increasing. Tb v are go
ing to Oregon, Idaho, Mo 'tana and
across the line to Canada to be mar
led and returning to Washington to
live.
"Spokane county records show
that the county alone Is losing from
$200 to $300 n month by the le-
renso In the Issue of mnrrlngo II-
'cnses. After that Item, (lie money
tbnt Is passing by the hotels, the
ministers anil the Justices of tho
nonce must be figured. Take it for
the year through with the number
of marrying couples rapidly Increas
ing and nn Idea of the price the state
of Washington Is pnylng for clean
marriages within Its borders may be
gained.
"Records at tho courthouse In
Spokane show almost a 50 per cent
decrease In tho Issue of marriage li
censes for the month of July as com
pared with that, month last year.
This month bids fair to show a de
creaso of more than (10 per cent as
compared with the corresponding
month of 1908.
Neighboring States Profit.
In county seats of Idnho, Oregon
and Montana near the border lines
of Washington, a noted increase In
the Issue of marriage licenses Is be
ing realized. Rpokano county Is en
deavoring to Induce young men and
women to be married In this state,
as before the new law went Into ef
fect, by securing the co-operation of
the county physician, who Is per
forming the required examinations
free of charge and other physicians
for a small fee, but still Washing
ton's young people aro flocking to ad
jacent states to be married.
As the county officials nee It,
Washington's new marriage, inw will
never be a financial success till all
her sister states and perhaps the
Dominion of Canada adopt laws of
the same character. It Ih purely a
dread of the examination that Is do
ing It all. Few seem to fear that
they cannot pass the required exam
ination, as physicians declare they
have not found a case yet that falls
to pass tho examination."
