USED IN BREAKFAST FOOD Shortage In Own Territory Causes Manufacturers to Draw n Ex treme West Eastern Brrwevs Buying Coast Barley. Grains of the Pacific Northwest were never In such heavy demand In the East as now, and the railroads are being called on to move a large portion of the crop to the Eastern and Middle Western markets. Wheat Is commencing to be hauled away by the railroads, and none can tell yet how heavy this movement will be before the season Is over. Whenever the grain fields of the Mid dle West do not yield their usual crops, the Pacific Northwestern crop Is drawn upon heavily. The millers blend the Coast product with their own Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota wheat to good ad vantage, turning out a superior grade of flour. Breakfast food manufacturers are In the market this season for much of the grain of the interior, particularly wheat. -The Battle Creek- factories and the American Cereal Company, of Grand Rapids, Mich., pre beavy purchasers. Large lots are being sent away to be made Into the various breakfast products by these companies. For this purpose, the wheat of the Pacific Northwest Is said to be splendidly adapted. Large per centages of gluten, a large, hard berry and firm qualities of the grain make it suited to breakfast food manufacturers. Barley grown In Oregon and Washing ton Is finding an Eastern market this season In a volume hardly equaled be fore. Large quantities are being turned over to the railroads for shipment to the breweries of Chicago, Milwaukee and Bt. Louis. This wide market is the rea son that the barley raisers of the two states are being paid' one cent a pound nd better for this grain, or $20 and $22 per ton. Like all the grains, the Middle West is hort In oats, too, and buyers from the Bast are in the territory getting all the pats they can secure. Breakfast food manufacturers have to 'have the North west product In order to manufacture their usual output. In fact, almost every train but corn is being taken from the Pacifla Northwest for milling in the Middle West. SHOW INTEREST IX PORTLAND Higli Officials of St. Paul Road Visit This City. F. A. Miller, general passenger agent; H. E. Plerpont, general freight agent, both of Chicago, and William B. Dixon, assistant general passenger agent, of St. Paul, all officials of the Chicago. Mil waukee & St. Paul Railroad, spent yes terday in Portland. After looking about the business districts of the city, they showed surprise at the rapid growth of Portland and were loud in their praise of the substantial development of the city. The officials declined to discuss the probability of the St. Paul building to Portland, saying that the company Is now much occupied with the extension to Puget Sound. They did not deny the general rumor that Portland will be the Pacific Northwest terminus of the road. The visits of so many St. Paul officials to this territory, from President darling down, during the past few months, is taken as one of the strongest evidences of the Interest the St. Paul has in Port land. In a recent book exploiting the Pacific Coast country. Issued by General Passenger Agent Miller, Portland 1b given equal space with any Puget Sound city. "Portland has grown in a surprising way since I was here last," said Mr. Miller yesterday. "The growth is of the most substantial character, too. Busi ness blocks that would be a credit to any city are going up on every hand. There ere great opportunities here for railroads. The more railroads built in here, the more business for the roads already en tering this territory. Mr. Plerpont is particularly Impressed with the progress being made In this territory." The officials came here In a special car nd will proceed to California upon com pleting the visit In Portland. They were guests at luncheon yesterday at the Com mercial Club, being entertained by Presi dent Hodson. WILL ISSUE NEW EDITION Chamber of Commerce Booklets Advertising City in Demand. The Chamber of Commerce is in re ceipt of a letter from A. D. Charlton, as sistant general passenger agent of the Northern Paclttc, requesting that he be furnished with 10,000 copies of the book--iet on Oregon, recently published by the Chamber. Of the original edition of 60, 000 copies of this book, only 12,000 re main, and Secretary Glltner advises that applications already In will exhaust the supply. The O. R. & N. Company has asked for a consignment of 2000 and thepe are requests for from 200 to 600 each week from various sources. . The Chamber Is now contemplating the printing of another edition of 100,000 to 200,000 copies of the book on Oregon, to be published within the next few months. It was thought at first that The present edition of 50,000 would last a year, but the demand has been so great and the benefits derived by the. city and state have been so widespread that another edition Is necessary. iAr. Glltner Bays the cost of the publication will be defrayed by the public and the general fund of tue Chamber. In addition to furnishing the railroad offices and other quarters, the Chamber has also furnished the commercial bodies With a large number of these booklets. Travelers report that while literature advertising California and Puget Sound Is seen in all the cities In the East, very little advertising matter exploiting this section Is displayed. The Chamber of Commerce, on this account, deems It Im perative that the new edition be a large one. FEW SIGN FOR THE BONDS Plan for Reorganization of Closed 6avlngs Bank Likely to Fail. Subscriptions to telephone bonds at the closed Oregon Trust & Savings Bank continue to come in very slowly. The last few days have been discourag ing to those in charge of the reorgan ization movement. While many deposi tors are coming In this week to prove their claims, most of these are people having less than $100 to their credit, and cannot be expected to participate in the reorganization plan. "The only reason I see for the larger depositors not coming In to prove their claims," said President Day, of the de positors' association, "la that they are afraid they will meet the depositors' committee and will have no valid ex cuse to give why they should not sign up for the bonds. The next few days now will determine whether the reor ganization proposition will go through or fail. The campaign Is about over, and depositors will have to come for ward more readily If they wish to get their money." THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say.
