v. 2 THE MORIJING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1903. V GREAT TRADE IN WHEAT Exports (Flour Included) for the Year Grand Total of Over 15,000,000 Reach Bushels WHEAT is the cornerstone on which Portland's commercial greatness is bullded. Lumber, livestock and di versified farming are gradually gaining on the big Industry that has made Portland and Oregon famous, and, in the case ol the two first mentioned, the premier cereal is already outranked. Tears before these industries were developed to their present extent, however, wheat was building cit ies and towns throughout the state, and these cities and towns were supplying a traffic that brought Portland out of her swaddling-clothes into metropolitan garb. It Is for this reason that Portland still prides herself on her wheat trade, and the record for 1902, in spite of the Immense gains in fruit and diversified farming at the expense of wheit. Is a good one. This city not only exported all of the export able surplus, of our own state, but nearly one-third of the entire crop of the State of Washington passed through this city on its way to the markets of the world, while Portland exporters handled the greater part of the remaining two-thirds cargo ever cleared from the Columbia, and, with two exceptions, the largest ever loaded on the Pacific Coast. The cargo of the Lime Branch contained 22, 000 bushels more wheat than was carried by the eight ships which made up the Portland grain fleet for the entire year 1871, which was the first year that the business began to show signs of great ness. The first direct shipment of wheat from Portland to Europe was made In 1S69, the American bark Helen Angler clearing In April with 36,943 bushels of wheat, valued at $31,000. She was dispatched by J. Mc Craken & Co., for Liverpool direct, and the same year, elx months later, Corbltt & Macleay dispatched the American ship Adeline El wood for the same port with 22,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $15,400. The shipments for the first calondar year were accordingly 5S.943 bushels, valued ap '545,500. There was a 50 per cent Increase In the business In 1870, and three vessels, carrvinir eariro totnJlntr 71.36S bushels, val ued at $76,501, wore dispatched for Liver- ' Loch Dee -.700 Grastnere 693 Electric 6G7 Channel Light C62 Manila 650 Barracouta 610 Metis,' 620 Harrjngton ;. 572 Cold Stream- 545 Navigator i 511 Na worth 347 Sparkling Dew 336 39,947 43,626 29.500 30.260 29,928 33,895 30,760 3L206 26.816 27.990 19.706 17.096 3,615 Average 673 There was a remarkable growth In. the wheat exporting business In the 10 years following, and in 18S2 the fleet ran well up towards 100 ships.

Oriental-American Co., -of Portland, Forging; to the Front as Import ers and Exporters. -An examination of the 1902 files at the Portland Custom-House discloses a very gratifying fact to thoso who are inter ested In the welfare of this port. From the Inception of the Oriental Im port business on the Pacific Coast up to the end of 1901 a comparatively small "pro portion of the Oriental products con sumed In the Northwestern states had been Imported by firms domiciled in the Northwest. Up to this year San Fran cisco and New York firms have abso lutely controlled the situation. Their po sition appeared, to many, almost Impreg nable. Numerous attempts have hitherto been made to dislodge those New York and San Francisco stalwarts and capture the Northwest business, but without avail. Early In 1901, however, the Oriental American Company (composed entirely of Portland capitalists) took the field and ucts, and Intend putting- considerable en ergy In the work of introducing them to the consumers on that continent. With such an organization In active op eration on two continents, the phenom enal growth of this company's business In the first two years of ite existence will undoubtedly be greatly exceeded In tho two years to come. Its directorate (com prising some of Portland's most substan tial and enterprising citizens) 13 not of the material that -recedes from any ad vantage gained. The business will doubtless proceed along the plan outlined and followed so successfully during the primitive state of the company. Business Is transacted with manufacturers and wholesale firms only, and the greater portion of Its pur chases are sold before Bhlpped, thus in suring their patrons the minimum prices and practically eliminating tho possibility of risk on the part of the Importer. ' While the Oriental-American Company Is exploiting the Asiatic fields of com merce In order to improve its own finan cial condition. It Is incidentally rendering a great service to the City of Portland and tho Northwestern states in particular and the country in general. MONEY IN BEE-KEEPING. 4 Oregon Clover and Alfalfa Fields Arc Splendid Bee Pastures. There are a multitude of sourcea from which the Oregon farmer may derive in- LOOKING DOWN RIVER FROM STEEL BRIDGE .UPON PORTLAND SHIPPING. 4 Am VESSELS SHOWS IN PICTURE ARE FROM 300 TO 350 FEET LONG, AXD CAPABLE OF CARRYING FROM 2500 TO 4500 TONS OF GRAiilj shipped out by way of Washington ports to which the wheat was tributary. The exports of wheat from Portland (flour included) for the year 1902 were over 16,000,000 bushels. The crop of the state was about 13,000,000 bushels. Home con sumption and seed in the state probably took up 4,Oi),O0OJushels, so that it is ap parent that this city handled over 6,000, 000 bushels of wheat from Washington and Idaho. These figures have been ex ceeded at times in the past, but are very satisfactory, and, for the last half of the cereU year, Portland will make a better showing in percentages than she lias made in the first half, although a short crop in both Oregon and Washing- pool. Of these the German bark -Herman Doctor was cleared by Allen & Lewis, and the Norwegian barks Alpha and Loveld by Corbltt & Macleay. The Her man Doctor was the smallest of the trio, and her cargo of 18,766 bushels would bare ly suffice for stiffening for one of the big carriers of the present day. . Eight ships were sent out In 187L Allen & Lewis dispatched the British barks Prince of Wales, Envoy and Rosedalo and the British ship Montgomery Castle, the latter being the first metal ship to engage in the Portlanu grain trade. Corbltt & Macleay dispatched the American ship Panama, British bark Lyra and Norwe gian bark Gunger, and Henry Hewett, ton will keep the figures below those of j now in the marine insurance business in the record-breaking year 190L In wheat j alone Portland shipped over 11,000,000) bushels, and flour shipments reached a j total of about 500,000 barrels, exclusive of ; about 350,000 barrels shipped from Port- 1 land or Portland territory to Puget Sound cities for reshlpment to the Orient Bar ley exports were 724,959 bushels, valued at $389,652, and oats shipments were 922,991 bushels, valued at $101,689. The year Just closed has been a very prosperous one for the farmers, as almost this city, sent out the Norwegian bark Tenax Proposlta. The fleet of eight ves sels found the warehouses full of wheat, but it was all cleared at high prices, and the aggregate value was $297,783. The Montgomery Castle was the big ship of the fleet, registering 871 tons, while the Lyra, of 299 tons' net register, was the smallest, and the Tenax Proposlta, with 403 tons, was not much larger. Prior to. 1872, most of the shipments that had been made direct to Europe from throughout the entire 12 months ocean Portland were in the nature of an experi ment, out in 1S7Z tne business of exporting wheat from Portland began to assume more definite shape, and 17 cargoes were sent out by Portland exporters. There were two each In January and March, one in February, April and July, four each freights liave dragged at the lowest fig ures on record, and there has been a cor- responding increase in the value of the wheat Other factors which have assist- j ed in keeping the price up from 10 to 15 i cents per bushel above the figures of the Scottish Chieftain 129S 78.636 Robert Dixon 1368 66.663 Nebo 1383 76.610 Oimara 1353 73.905 Reporter 1350 67,260 W.

The extent to which the farmers have profited by the low freight rates is shown in the value of the shipments for the last month of the year. This month Is selected for com parison, for the reason that ships were cleared with wheat and flour for Europe, Australia and Africa, the freight rate varying for each port. In December, 190L Portland cleared 2,096,355 bushels of wheat, valued at $1,274,837. The clearances for December, 1902, were 1,636,283. bushels, valued ati $1,203,912, a gain ,pf 13 cents per bushel! over lost year's figures. A distinctive fea- ( ture of the wheat trade of 1902 was the . large business that was handled for South 'African ports. The value of this business : extended beyond the actual amount rep-j resented by the wheat and flour clear- j ances, for nearly every ship cleared from Portland took out large quantities of j Oregon fruit, salmon and miscellaneous I merchandise, which has found an appre- j dative and Increasing market In the Dark Continent. Naturally, a good portion of this African business was duo to the fail ure of the wheat crop in Australia, but Portland exporters who have been work ing In that field for the past three years have exercised so much care in shipping j no nun g out me oest siock to inat coun try that they have secured a reputation which guarantees a continuation of the business of greater or less magnitude,-no matter "What conditions may obtain in the countries which have heretofore had a monopoly of the trade. In the flour trade, the only unsatisfac tory feature of the business has been the inability of Portland shippers to secure sufficient space on steamers sailing -direct irom Portland. This has forced them' to ship large quantities to- Puget Sound, and while the freight Tate is absorbed by the Puget Sound lines, and there is no direct loss by the transaction, it prevents Port land receiving 'full credit for the busi ness that is rightfully hers- Portland grain-shippers broke all kinds of records during the year Just closed. The steamship Lime Branch was cleared by Kerr, Glfford & Co. with 259.723 bush els of wheat, the largest cargo ever taken ' out of the Columbia River. The same firm also cleared the ' British steamship Oceano for South Africa, loaded with J60.000 bushels of oats, the largest cargo o.f that grain that was ever loaded on the Pacific Coast The Portland & Asiatic Liner Indravelll cleared last month with &4,1S4 barrels of. flour, which is the .largest cember. This fleet and the cargo carred was as follows: jNet Wheat, Vessel tons, bushels. Zouave 1202 57,097 Annie M.

In a sys tematic way, to divert the Oriental Import business of the Northwest to Its proper channel. As above Intimated, the result has been marvelous. Not only has the name of this firm taken a very promi nent place on the customs records In Portland, but It may be found on the cus toms records In Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver and Victoria, B. C, hew York and 'Chlcngo. Thex. have enlisted the coj operation of the most Influential and en terprising brokers .In the United States and Canada, among them being such firms as tho J. K. Armeby Company, of New York. Boston, Chicago and San Francisco; The Kelly-Clarke Co., of Port land, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane: The Dallas Mercantile Company, of Dallas, Tex., and other Southern cities; Seavey & Florshelm, of Kansas City, St. Louis and Omaha, etc A direct representative from the head office here devotes his entire time to trav eling from one to the other of tho agen cies, In order to maintain a close relation ship between the company and Its agents, and render assistance where most needed; also to establish new agencies where deemed necessary. This company's Oriental connections and organization for purchasing and sell ing In Asia are even more complete than its American! Its operations extend to every point of importance, and a direct representative from tho Portland office makes occasional visits to each place. In this way products have been explored and trade developed in articles that have heretofore been unknown, and In this manner the Oriental-American Company has secured absolute control of the sale In America of many of the principal Items that now appear on their price list In exports this company is rapidly com ing to the front, and from present indica tions will occupy quite as prominent a po sition among exporters as Importers In the near future. They now control the sale In Asia of some important American prod- come, hut which are not available to farmers In most of the states. One of these sources, the value of which is but little appreciated. Is apiculture. Tho mud climate of Oregon makes It an Ideal state for the keening of bees. Oregon Is a land of flowers. WTilte clover grows wild on every field left unplowed for a season There are fruit trees on every hill and in every valley. With tho advent of rota tion of croDS there has been created an Immense area of clover fields from which bees may gather honey. Alfalfa has be come a great crop in Eastern Oregon and honey taken from the blossoms is found to be a first-class product. The best honey, however. Is that made from moun tain flowers. Many mountain flowers, es peclally elk-weed, yield a honey that Is almost perfectly transparent of a flavor unsurpassed. By reason of the varying altitudes the flowers bloom during a long period In the Summer and the bees store up large quantities of honey. This bee pasture Is practically unlimited, and farm' era who make homes .In the mountainous districts find bee culture a source or con slderable revenue. It Is a profitable in dustry, when made a specialty, but equally so when followed in connection with the growing of crops. Shipbuilding: a GroTtingr Industry-. Shipbuilding will In a few -years be one of the established Industries of Oregon, according to A. T. Kelllher, formerly a resident of Bath, Me. Mr. Kelllher isan experienced timber man, and bases his opinion upon what he knows of the stead ily decreasing supply of timber in the East and the consequent increase in the cost Oregon timber is admirably adapt ed to shipbuilding, and it can be cut from the forests at tho water's edge and floated to the shipyard. A ship can be built cheaper in Oregon than on the Atlantic Coast, and the transfer of the industry across the continent "is a matter of only a few years at the most TYPICAL GRAIN VESSEL AT A PORTLAND WHARF IN THE BACKGROUND IS SHOWN A STEAMER LOADING WHEAT FOR THE ORIENT. 1902-03 GRAIN FLEET FROM PORTLAND maft xmesjMnu urn. lC UK mi JANUARY.
