VOItTLAND, Dec. 13. (Special.)
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. Naturally they

the growers are anxious to escape the orG m Portland owned by private
necessity or being obliged to use frn;s
high priced bags, oven if they should
be obtalneble, which, at the present
moment appears doubtful. 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
