Scarcity of tonnage and the difficulty of setting 'burlap and bass from Calcutta form a combination which promises to make the system of ship ping grain in bulk more goneral throughout the world and moro par ticularly in the Pacific Northwest, than any other influence. In every part of the Inland Empire small ele vators are going up and it is said that their construction would be consid erably enlivened were it not for the high price of building material and machinery. Should war conditions permit the resumption of shipping wheat to fMllEftlME time the elevator at St. Johns is c pected to bo sufficiently well along to permit Its being utilized. The first unit of the structure will have a capacity of 1,000,00 bushels. Later tills capacity Is to be doubled. Many Klcvntors 1'lnnucd. Itnnghly .there are moro than 100 elevators completed or planned to be built in the wheat-growing country cast of liie Cascade mountains. Prac tically all of thoso roady for business havo gone up In tho last flvo years. Many of thoni have been built in tho last year or so. Tho total capacity of these ele vators is in excess of 3,000,000 bush els. Many of them are modern and built of concrete, a. L. Rusa, t the federal bureau of markets at Portland, says that the Farmers' Union, of Pendleton, is incrnasing its capital stock to &200.000 for the pur pose of eroding Bix more elevators the cer eal. Last season the price or sacks was 14 cents and' the cost u the number needed for meeting tho re quirements ran up to $7,500,000. "That sum lnvsted In sacks," con tends Mr. Rush, "would bo ao-cquate for the construction of 375 concrete elevators, each having a capacity of 50,000 bushels." lYilllimiR Requisitioned. Burlap and grain bags are in heavy demand at the front, whwx, with the seeming unavailability of tonnage to bring them ncroBS the Pacific partly accounts for their high price. The British government has requisitioned 900,000,000 bags for trench purposes. Many million!: moro are expected to bo needed by other allied countries for a similar ! use. This condition is having the effect of driving the farmers to tho ex pediency of making arrangements to ! terminals in bulk.

Tho quo tation on bags at Pacific coast points is about 19 cents. "I have been informed," Mr. Rush states, "that tho cost of transporting bags and burlap from Calcutta to this coast amounts to $100 a ton. When shipping conditions were nor mal this same service was provided at $5.50 and $6 a ton. , I understand that sacks could bo procured in Cal cutta In nmplo quantities if there wore ships available for bringing them over."
