Deep Curve LENSES RIVER GRAIN HANDLING. Wheat Sent Across the Snake on aa ! Incline. Portland, Dec. 23. Grain is being sent across the Snake river over an incline to Crura for shipment by raQ to the Atlantic seaboard. The in cline was completed by the O.-W. Rj . Co., last lnursday. mis gives the company three rail points on the Snake river from which to ship grain by rail the other two being at Lew is ton and Riparia Some of the cereal taken to . Crura also will be brought '. to Portland. ! The steamers Spokane and Lewis- ton, plying on the Snake, are carrying i more gram jusi now inan ai any ; other period of the season. The ; river is at a fine stage between May- view and Jodkins and the steamers ' are operating on that stretch of the; stream. It is estimated that, about 500,000 sacks of whe will come out ! of there this season. It will take the , steamers three or four months to j move it to the rail points. Large ; quantities of if will come down to : Portland from Lewiston. But at 1 present the indications are that fully j half of the grain from that section j will go East on account of the scare-; ity or vessels on tne racinc coast to transport it to Europe. Until very recently the farmers of the Inland Empire showed a dispo-i sition to hold their crops until they ! could get higher prices for them. But j within the last few weeks it is said ', they have been selling rather freely, I evidently not caring to take any more I chances of a fluctuating market j Unless they conclude that it would j he a good business move the grain-; growers in the rich country east of! the Cascade mountains do not have : to dispose of their holdings. Nearly all are wealthy and it would not em- j uarrnss uiera in ine lean xo seep me grain for another year. Etkhom Lodge Making Record. Baker, Dec. 23. Elkhorn lodge No. 16fi, I. O. O.
