An exhibition of Ore- Ha will re- I sron products ln Japan would be the fore- ruuner oi a areas irsas Deiween. yapan and Oregon. It is to be regretted that the business men of Portland are not alive to this opportunity which shows It self to them. The great national industrial exhibition which the Imperial Government of Japan will hold, at" Osaka In 1903 will present some novel and Interesting features never . Vessels for new-crop loading, are being chartered very alowljr, here as well a elsewhere on the Pacific Coast.' But few owners': are willing to accept the prevail Ing low rates, which are from 28 to a .shillings. ; ";,f:4 At this tims last year the rates were from 38 to 40 shillings, and grain carrlrs were in great aemana . ai mose raiea. Several, reasons are given for this great decline, and the most plausible one, per haps, is on account of an over-supply of vessela Since -the war-das been con cluded in South Africa, British transports will be numerous and charterers will probably be enabled to continue to d business on the low-rate system. There 1st no- doubt but that the cessation t hostilities In the Dark ConUnent will- have a patent tendency to keep the rate down to a low margin; - 'k-f. All over the globe, however, this la generally a. dull season In shipping ctr cles. The law of supply and demand Is the factor which governs almost Wholly the rates paid by charterers of vessels. The new crop will not. be ready to harvest In South America before Janu- aryi and at that, time aMps are in great demand there, - and cut - an . Important figure. The same might be said of vari ous other portions of the' world. -TOO EARLY TO FIGURE. In the Pacific Northwest it is' yet too early to figure on this years' production of the new crop. J Prediction estimate that It will be light In California, while here It looks promising at the present time, i It Is merely, conjectural, however, to make any predictions as to what the crop will, turn, out. to -be, .depending as It does exclusively upon weather conditions and atmospheric changes. ' Yr About all the old crop has been moved, and there Is but very little call for im mediate loading. 8qme unforeseen' event '.may ocur at any -time of sufficient im portance to raise the rates, but It is not now discernible. A great many of the owners of British vessels are expecting a raise In tbe market, and are holding for higher prices, ' but many of the bounty fed Frenchmen are accepting whatever they can get. Inasmuch a they" receive a handsome subsidy from their govern ment, they have a decided advantage over the owners of those ships who are In business on their own hook and get no as sistance from a beneflcient government.

Thompson Gives Portland a Suggestion Which She Might Well Adopt. 4- "Portland Is at least 10 years behind the times when It comes to adver- . Using herself. I was in the east last year and visited the principal cities, but did. not hear anyone talk of Portland. I heard Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, spoken of a number of times, Seattle especially being mentioned, -f j;i went Into ticket office and asked for a ticket for Portland, and the agent wanted to know whether It was near Beat tie. ( f "I thnk tba.t If Portland would get out a few hundred thousand oirdu- lars and distribute them to the business men of the city It would do U r -f Immense amount of good. Tbe best plan would be for the Board of Trade to go around to the business msn and ask them to donate a small -f, sum for tbe proper advertising of this city and vicinity. I don't think that . -f any of the business men would refuse. The Board could than get circular printed about the site of an ordinary envelope and about 11 pages, the eon- ; tents to be written In a brief and truthful manner. X think that this state has enough good thing to bring tens of thousands of immigrants hare -f f and the more truthful the drclulars the better It would be. The truth is -f good enough for anybody. "When the circulars are printed they should be distributed among all the business houses, to send out la their dally correspondence. -f "Now Is tba time to take up this matter, as Portland need to bring the lwl and Clark Centennial before the world In a better shape. I am Will ing to do tar share of the work any time the matter is brought up. Better f begin at once'-M.'K.

At its regular meeting Monday night th Building Trades Council passed a res olution to the effect that Its members would be willing to place the strike situ atlon In the hands or Judge Williams, H W. Corbett and Ueoi Re M. Orton to decide Whether or not tnere are grounds for arbitration. A Journal man visited each of the gen tlemen today to ascertain If they .would act in such n capacity, and to lean) their views of strikes generally. MAYOR-BLKCTS STATEMENT. Judge "Williams !ild:."'." . "I do not desire to act as arbitrator be tween these oarties. but aim Wllllni? to do anything 1 cin to effect a settlement between the mlllowners and their work men. ' To that end wouiq be willing to act as. arbitrator It they conclude to ar bitrate their differences. , 'I am tn favor of submitting all these questions that arise out of strikes of Workmen to arbitration, because in that way an early settlement or differences might be made and great losses prevented to the parties concerned, aa well as to the community. My opinion is that any question, the merits of which can be measured by dollars und cents, is a prop er subject for arbitration. I think that everywhere there Is a growing disposition to resort to arbitration to settle the que tlons arising between employers and em ployes as to wages, the: hours of labor and all that sort of things. Mil. ORTON'S VIEWS. George M- Orton, in reply to a question, stated: I believe that this question should be arbitrated, and hope tbat some such ac tion will be taken, soon. If placed upod an , arbitration board, although I do not aspire to the position, I will feel 'it my duty to act and will endeavor to work for the beat interests or all parties con cerned. It seems to me that t,be public should receive the first consideration, and something should be dom at once with the object in view of benefiting th com munity at large. Strikes are always to be deplored, but when they, occur some remedy should be sought at one to put an end to them." . v . 2 Silverton All Right '- M. R.
