BUSY BOOSTING
So Proclaims the Portland
Board of Trade -
ACROSS FROM ST. JOHNS
Will be the Location, Says Cleneth
Goodrich, the Architect
Plana for tho erection of nn lin
monso grain waro house and elovn
tor on tho waterfront huvo matured
and Fred Mullcr, Decretory of tho
board of trade, yesterday announced
that tho building would be complete
by next July, or In tlmo to Iiouru
the Incoming crop, Mr. Mullcr rep
resents In Portland tho eastern cap!
tallsts who will put up tho funds for
tho building of tho now clovator.
Tho location of tho now warehouse
has not yet been definitely decided
on, but an option has been secured
on a good piece of property. Tho site
will not bo made public for some
time.
Moro than 1 100,000 has already
boon secured from eastern capitalists
and tho remaining $150,000 necessary
will be made up within a short time,
It Is oxpectcd. Minneapolis, Chicago,
Kansas City and Now Oreans cap
Ital will bo Invested. Local people
may bo nuked to take blocks of tho
stock, but such action Is Improbable
For four months Mr. Muller lias
boon quietly working, In the hope
that such an elevator and warehouse
could be erected In Portland, and
tho smaller shipments of both bulk
and sacked grain housed cheaply.
Onco tho scheme- was well under
wny ho had no trouble securing as
surancos that there would bo plenty
of money forthcoming,
Tho now elevator will havo a ca
paclty of 600,000 bushols of wheat,
and will havo tho advantage over
many other local warehouses In' that
It will bo fully equipped with all the
modem devices for handling and
sorting grain, Hulk wheat can bo
handled as easily and as economi
cally at tho sacked stock, a condi
tion which Mr. Mullor bolluves will
bo the means of bringing about tho
shipping of moro wheat In bulk to
California and nearby points, thus
saving the growers much oxtra ex
pense and troublo.
With the construction hero of tho
now warehouse Mr, Muller Is certuln
that far moro of tho 20,000,000 bush
els of wheat grown yeurly In tho In
land emplro will bo shipped through
Portland. Sunday's Journal,
The firm of Goodrich A Goodrich
wero tho architects chosen to pre
paro plans for tho building, a de
scription of which follows:
The elevator as at present de
signed Is to be constructed of re
enforced concrete, absolutely fire
proof, and Is to be built to conform
with tho latest Improved method
used and practiced today. It has
been the aim in designing this ele
ctor, "to utilise all space poasslble,
and economize to the fullest extent
the labor necessary for handling and
storing grain In quantities such as
this elevator Is capable of hand
ling. It is designed for handling
three or moro kinds of grain and
storing same, with tho Intention of
delivering from elevator to boat or
back to cars.
The elevator will have an approxi
mate capacity of 000.000 bushels
of grain, part of this storing capac
ity being Intended for sacked grain
and part for bulk grain.
It will bo so arranged that six
cars can bo unloaded at one time,
of different grain, and these can be
properly bandied, cleaned and stored
without one grain Interfering with
the other. It is intended to use the
most improved method of unloading
cars, using two power grain scoops
In each car, when loaded in bulk,
which reduces the unloading to the
lowest possible cost, at the same,
time being very rapid and efficient.
The interior of the elevator in re
gard to bins la to be arranged so
that the grain may be delivered to
any bin in the elevator by a wheel,
operated by one man, placed on the
first floor. 1 To this wheel there will
be an Indicator attached, tthe Indi
cator showing the exact bin in
which the grain is being delivered,
this delivery being effected from
the top of the elevator and dls
charglug through grain spouts to
the cleaning machlues or direct to
the storage bins.
For spotting cars at the wheat
bins, there wlU be used a' car puller
United Railways Pushing
Work on West Side
ON TO HOLBROOK SOON
Trolley Line Important Factor in
Connection with Free Ferry
Whether or not tho United Hall
ways will oporato passenger trains
between Portlnnd and llolbrook early
next month, as planned, depends up
on tho Portland council, According
to Its franchise, tho United Is not
privileged to run passenger trains
on any portion of tho city system uu
til It has completed Its Interurban
Una to llltlsboro. This action was
taken to mako certain of tho trolley
company's good faith In carrying out
Its projects. Representatives of tho
company will, undoubtedly, nppoar
beforo tho city officials of thai city
during tho next two weeks and seek
to hnvo tho bars let down so passen
ger trains may bo operated to llol
brook, tho lino to that point from
Portland being almost completed.
Knrly in March tho company will
bo ready to oporate trains from tho
Chamber of Commcrco building, Third
and Stark streets, to llolbrook, n
distance of 10 miles, Trolley wires
are now being strung on 8lark
street and cars to equip tho now
lino are on their way hero from tho
East. They will arrive in that city
within tho next few days. Tho Hoi
brook line runs through Llnntou and
along the St. Helens road.
An hourly service Is planned on
tho new lino. 8teol Is being laid on
tho road beyond Llnntou and bnllast
Ing crowd aro keeping woirtip "to
the rail-laying gangs. Included In
the equipment now on tho way to
Portland Is a heavy electrlo lotomo
the fur freight truffle on the road,
but this service will not bo inaugu
rated until nftor the passenger
schedule has been put In effect and
tho service Is In good shape.
Can tho United Hallways' officials
bo Induced to extend their road down
tho Columbia river as far as St.
Helens, Is a question being anxious
ly askod by tho residents of tho low
or river towns. In tho bollcf that It
can bo dono, provided the right of
way is donatod, Interested persons
aro circulating petitions among tho
property holders from Portland to St.
Helens asking that tho right of way
bo given to tho company, and It Is
said that their efforts are mooting
with practically no opposition from
tho property ownors.
operuted by an electrlo motor which
will handle three or four cars at
one tlmo. nnd requiring very lltttle
labor to handlo, same.
Tho grain olevators, thoro being
one for each wheat pit, or six in
nil, will each be controlled by an
electric roolor placed at tho top of
the elevator. Theso motors will each
be controlled by an auto starter
placed on tho first floor of tho
building.
Tho cleaning machines will be
Derated by electrlo motors; theso
cleaning machines being placed on
the third floor of the building, and
this motor started, Btoppod nnd con
trolled by nn auto Btarter, located
on tho first floor of tho building.
For unloading sacked grain from
cars there will be used a aack ele
ctor which will dollver the sacks
from tho second floor In tho center
of tho' building. For delivering tho
sacks from tho second floor to boats
or to the cars there win uo auoiner
elevator which will convey samo out
of the building. These elevators will
be operated by electrlo motors la
dependent of the other machinery,
with auto starter located on me
first floor of the building.
There will be dust collectors for
collecting dust, chaff, etc., from the
cleansing machines, delivered to a
dust bin on the first floor provided
for that purpose.
All of the blus aro so arranged
that they will entirely empty them
selves without any labor and any
fain in the elevator can be used for
any grain, and can be Interchanged
at will to suit the conditions.
The number of cleaning machines
will have to oe aeierminca iruiu wo
amount of grain that necessarily
must be cleaned. If It Is tbe in

grain, there will necessarily have to
