exhibition of Oregon products in the Ja
pan., Industrial .Exposition, to be held at
Osaka In 190, ' scheduled : to naves, been
held yesteiday. failed to materuUiaa, as

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.

M. E. 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

Views Expressed by
Williams, Corbett
. and Orton.
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 .
