How the Grain Is Mov-
; ing Through This
Port to Date.
Ths rrala tonne In port is ll.OCO, the
Epeks having a net ton register of 2700
the Lord Shaftesbury, 2200; the Quito. 2100
the Asle, 1000. ana the Nomla, 2100. Thet
vessels will carry approximately a tota
"Of 12.000 tons. They are all chartered ex
ctptfhg the Speksv-mnd when loaded will
- materially reduce the balance of last sea
son's crop to be shipped from this port.
The. Lord Shaftesbury began loading
tdday at the Elevafor dock, and will
complete her cargo at Columbia No.
The Nomla is at the Irving: dock, and
Wilt probably finish loading tomorrow.
Just how tatich of last season's crop
remain to be shipped is wholly conjectu
ral, several carloads arriving; at each of
the warehouses almost 4ally. The big
gest part of these shipments Is coming
from the walla Walla and Falouse coun
; tries. In EasternWashington, and the
remainder from over about The Dalles.
: It la not known how leng these ship
; menta will continue to arrive, but it is
believed that the entire old crop will
soon be in. Up to date about 40,000,000
bushels have been shipped from Portland
thi season, and the crop has been va
riously estimated at from 45,000,000 to S3,
.' 000,000 bushels. GranUng that it will
amount to W.000.000 bushels, there still
remain 10.000.000 bushels, or 100.000 tons,
of the old crop as yet unshipped. A
large portion of this grain on hand will
very likely b held over until the new
crop makes its appearance on the mar
ket But the fact still remains that sev
'.era! ships will be pressed into service
, In moving; this great balance before new
crop6 loading is reedy to begin. . Each
:. of the large local grain Companies will
-, bars enough of the product on hand, it
to safe to assume, to fix from one to
three, vessel.
i Those who. are chartering vessels at
' present are anticipating a late crop this
year, and do not believe that any new
' wheat will be exported before the latter
,x. part of September. The spring baa been
r so . late that the crop i fully two or
three weeks back of the average year.
Barley, however, will ' begin to arrive
.about the 1st of August, and each of the
companies , here engage about three ves-
' sel In moving this crop to market from
; rorttnd,- Therefore, active shipments of
new crop grain will begin about August
: 1, and by the time the barley Is gotten
out of the war wheat wlU begin to ar
rive at a lively rate, and shlppinr will
be at its height again and continue sev
eral months. ,.

BAGGAGE -AGENTS
Journal Special Service.)
CHICAGOMay 21.-The American As
sociation of General Baggage Agents be
gan its 22nd annual convention at the
Hotel Virginia today and will continue in
session probably through the remainder
of the' week as there is an. unusually
large number of matters to be considered.
Among' .other things the convention will
revise the uniform baggage rules adopted
In M92. with a view to harmonizing them
with the recent changes made by leading
roads.
maximum temperatures ranged between
4S degrees, and 7t degrees and the mini
mum temperatures between 34 degrees
and EC degrees.
Both Fail and Spring wheat continue to
make satisfactory progress, except on
low and poorly drained land In th Wil
lamette Valley, where the rail wheat
keep yellow and baa a alckly appearance.
It la thought now that some of this yel
low wheat will not mature And that It
will later be cut for fodder. Complaints
are also being made that In Umatilla
County the Fall wheat is unusually
weedy. Fall rye and barley are begin
ning to head. Oats are doing nicely, and
grass of all kinds is making a luxuriant
growth.
Gardens are backward and very weedy.
The cool, wet weather has retarded the
growth of tender vegetables, but pota
toes aeem tobe doing fairly well. Potato
and corn planting Is progressing as rap
Idly as possible, and the early planted
fields have come up nicely. Hops are
also in a promising condition and the
vines now reach above the tops of the
poles.
The weather has been unfavorable for
tree fruit and the report regarding the
condition of prunes and pears, are very
conflicting. Italian prtrhes will be a total
failure In some orchards in the central
portion of the valley, while In other
orchards the prospects are favorable for
from a half to a full crop. Bartlett pear
will be short, but cherries and Petite
prunes aro promising. It Is too early to
tell much about apples, but the reports
so far are favorable and it is thought
that at least an average crop will be ob
tained. Strawberries are doing well and
the first ripe Oregon berries of the season
were marketed from Hood River during
the latter part of the week.

sessed as all other real estate is assessed,
and that the tax on the personality be
collected by the tate, and afterward dis
tributed among the State, county and mu-"
nicipal authorities in proportion to the

his vote against It. . ". -
The was a measure In the passage of
which 4he railroad employes were vitally'
Interested. Poortnan of Marlon, formerly
conductor on the Southern Pacific
road, who knew the merits of the de
sired bill, was Its champion on the floor
of the House, and the irierabers repre
senting Multnomah County, whose elec

the worktngmen, were expected to stand
by their pledges an vote for this Im
portant measure. Most of them did, but
Nottingham refused to keep faith, and
now comes before the people of Multno
mah County and asks to be returned to
the Legislature, not as a representative
of the pepple, but as a .tool of Jack
Matthews.
Men who believe in the dignity of la
bor should spot Nottingham, vote against
him; vote against every candidate for
the Legislature on the machine ticket.
If elected, they will, like Nottingham,
vote "No" on any measure Intended to
better the condition of the working class.
Following is Nottingham' record when

The JOURNAL SHORT STORY
"Well, those old college days were Jol
ly, weren't they. Nan?" and Jack Benton
leaned against the mantel, smiling down
into the girl's upturned face. "Yes, in
deed, and I'm glad that I resurrected all
these old photographs . and souvenirs,
since you enjoy looking them over again.
By the way, that reminds me, Jack, of a
letter which came yesterday; wait till I
get it. I'll be back in a minute," and
Nan disappeared through thg study door.
Handsome Jack Benton stooped over
the table and picked up one of the old
photographs that lay there , in a pile.
"Our mandolin club!" he murmured.'
"Fairly good pictures, too. How young I
look In it, though! And what's this? An
other group? Oh, one of those girls' so

Let's see if I can recognize any of their

if it had burned him. "Ethel Fanshawe!"

he Involuntarily laid his hand on the
table for support. "Oh. pooh! nonsense!
What a sentimental idiot I am! I sup
posed that was over, long ago," he
thought, taking a seat that was as far
as possible from the photograph. "Good
little Nan! I'm glad she wasn't here, just
now. How astonished she would have,
been to see me!"
Jack Benton and Nan Welsh had been

certain, true hope to die if I ever tell,"
had passed between them, then, and
through school and college days it had
been the same, but even our best friends
must not know everything. .
"I told you I'd not be long. Jack," said
Nan, quickly, re-entering the room, but
the letter was mislaid somehow, and I
had to rummage through my desk twice
before I could find it. It's from SalUe
Allen, one of our old Kappa Chi girls
what are you looking so cross for, Jack?"
"Oh, nothing; a mere trifle. I was
thinking of the cruelties of existence."
You wretched pessimist, and with my
trying so hard to amuse you. I'd have
great notion hot to read the news
In this to you. and I wouldn't do It,
either, but you happen to know the peo

Yes. Indeed," he replied, stifling a
sigh, "I'm a meek as, Moses. Please be

"Very well, then," said Nan, absently.

girl of '96. You know she had two ad-,
mtrers Tom Andrew was one. Well, she
ngaged herself to Tom and let th other
fellow go. J forget bis name, put he was
a college boy one of the old mandolin
club that gave a concert in Rochester the
winter I was there. Anyway, she was en
gaged to Tom Andrews. I met her last
month In Pasadena. We were at tha
same hotel, and one day had a little chat
over our embroidery. "Oh, Sadie," said
she, "you don't know what good It does
me to meet one of the old girls again!
And to think that you remember my Tom!
He's Buch a noble fellow' here she blush
ed and gave a shy, proud little laugh. "I
(think there's nobody like him. Oh, Sadie
Allen, you must come to the wedding next
June. Promise me that. Yes, of course,
it's to be at my home in Memphis. Tom
says" and so forth, and so on, Nan, noth
ing but that fellow' name the whole
time!
" 'The next day1 she came running up to
.me on the hotel porch, saying, "I've got
a telegram. Here it Is: 'Come home,
home. Great news. Tom.'
" 'She was wild with delight, and left
on the next train. And, Nan, what do
you suppose was the great news?" I
thought that he must have struck a gold
mine, at the very least. So he had, ac
cording to the poor, pitiful little note she
wrote me. When she reached home that
girl found that Tom Andrews had mar
rid her mother, and was her stepfather
instead of her lover. It seems that he
found out wheretfthe money was in that
family. By this time you will have
guessed that the girl was Ethel Fan
shawe. "Now, did you ever hear anything like
that?" Bald Nan, folding the letter to put
it back in its envelope.
"Why, Jack Benton, what's the matter
with you?" she exclaimed, in astonish
ment and alarm.
"Are you ill? You're as white as a
sheet?"
Jack rose unsteadily. Then he pulled
himself together with a mighty effort.
"Nothing; nothing at all. Nan. Exeept,
don't you see I'm the other fellow!"
Turning toward the gas, Jet, he pulled
out his watch,
"It's half past, nine, now. I'll just have
time to catch the train for the South,
if I run for it. Oh, my poor darling,
what she has suffered! Goodbye, Nan,
wish me luck!" and the front door clos
ed behind him, almost before the girl re
alized what he was doing. -
Nan still stood where he had left her.
The' study light gleamed clear, the Are
gleamed red in the grate. Presently the
sight of these familiar things soothed her
and she came back to everyday life.
"Whoever Imagined such a thing?"
She picked up Sadie Allen's letter and
held It irresolutely between thumb and
forefinger:
