THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 10, 1904
FLOUR SHIPMENT
the Orient, five of the great
powers in the aggregate have 85
ships iu there watching events,
not knowing what day events
may plunge them and their
nttliou into the conflict, and
equally ignorant as to which
side they will line up for.
Tbe increase of flouring mills
in Oregon points to a lime, not
far in lhe future, when the great
er part of the whent grown in
Oregon will bo made into flour,
and this tate will cease to be
an exporter of wheat and be
come a large exporter of flour.
This is a desirable change as
it will give employment to both
capital and labor at home in
stead of sending the wheat to
foreign mills to be made into
flour.
Our Hhipmeul of flour for the
first half of Murch will reach
107,500 barrels whioh will go iu
three large ships to tho Orient.
For the year ending with "ral'd lo i88U "ef
i Twenty five Thousand Miliars Adili-
ueoonincr iauz mere were
shipped from Portland, Oregon,
6,614,719 buBhela of wheat, for
the year ending with December
1903, the number of bushels
shipped from the same port was
4,445,106 bushels, a decrease of
1,169,613 bushels. The ship
ment of flour Jrora Portland,
Oregon, for the year ending
with December 1902 was 1,037,
636 barrels, and for the year
ending December 1903 it was
3,600,926 barrels, a gin of 2,
563,290 barrels.
Should the present rate of in
crease of flour shipment and de
cline in wheat shipment from
Oregon continue it will not be
very many years until all the
i wheat grown in the s'.ate will be
manufactured into flour by our
millu, and exported as Hour.
This means not only the em
ploy men t of more capital and
labor in Oregon but it also
lot una the oHV. I j, bran, shorts,
middlings and screenings will
be fed in this stitle and be con
verted into more valuuble forms.
The live stock, dairy and poultry
butiiueus will respond to the
availuhtlity of the additional
80,000,000. pounds of mill feed
by a htrge increase of their
several maikotuble products,
MANY WAR SHIPS.
Tho Pacilic; ocoau bears upon
its bosom tho war ships of mauy
nations. The mothers, who
have sons riding on these float
ing implements of war, must
study tho geography of a strange
and far oil' part of tho earth, and
learn to pronouiico names that
have strange and heathenish
sounds before they can toll to
their neighbors near what point
in the mystic, iudofiuite realm,
the Orient, their sons are float
ing in some great black ship
bristling 'villi ponderous guns
and lilleil with munitions pro
pared to kill men, wreck ships,
or demolish cities.
Russia has a fleet of 79 w..r
ships and Japan has 1-7 float
ing engines of destruction.
These two nations are tit wni
with each other which accounts
for their presence on the other
side of the ocean whose easier u
breakers roar and lash the west,
ern coast of Oregon.
The Scientific American of
tho 5th inst under the statement
"It may be of interest to ap
pend a complete list of the
of the fleets of the great powers
in the Far Fast," gives the
names and tonago of 32 war
ships and six torpedo boat de
stroyers belonging to Cireot
