NEW TERRITORY IS OPENED i Steady Increase of Grain for Export Said to Be Reasonably Sure and ' Advice Is Given to Prepare for New Conditions. "Under the present system and con Bitlons Portland has been getting about one-half of the wheat going to tidewater points. Portland's export of wheat alone, as distinguished from flour, has at times gone nearly twice as high a the wheat export per year from both Puget Sound ports." says O. B. Hegardt. engineer of the Com mission of Public Docks, in an ex haustive report he compiled covering hulk handling of grain with particular reference to Portland's location and the lacilities that can Te provided here in changing from the use of sacks to the movement of the cereal in bulk. Continuing he said: "Puget Sound's strongest card Jn at tracting wheat has been the much lar ger flour mill development, which has been a result of the fact that flour intveroent has been the strongest on tablishing granaries the growers would be independent of warehouses that are now used for storage in sacks. One class of men found who unhes itatingly favored bulk wheat were those operating elevators and the farm ers interested in them. They point out that not only is the annual saving in sacks a feature, but the uncertainty of always obtaining sacks, and that after having, put in one year with the bulk system they would not willingly return to sacks. Millmen and ware housemen take the opposite side of the argument, he says, their contention be ing that sacks are cheaper than to es tablish elaborate granary and such facilities on farms, but in the main they say they 'are willing to accept the change if farmers are satisfied it is the best and will adhere to it Farmers' unions, he writes, are un equivocally in favor of the bulk Idea and. while failures were recorded In that method 25 years ago, they reason that the conditions contributing to the ill-success no longer exist. Many Still to Tse Sacks. . Taking up transportation, it is ad mitted that with sailing vessels com prising the wheat fleet, the long voy age via the Horn and the ships crossing the equator twice endangered wheat If it moved in bulk, and another danger to a cargo was shifting. Now, with the utilization of tramp steamers and the wheat properly loaded, with shifting boards and such precautions, the situa tion is different. In the Inland Empire now 60 'to 10 elevators are either operating or under construction, the greatest number being in Idaho. A change from sacks will be slow, cautions lir. Hegardt, as farm ers haveinherited the sack plan, and in the Palouse country, where smut prevails. Backs may be used longer than elsewhere. It is understood, continues the report, that there is no particular objection on the part of the railroads to the bulk plan, though it will re quire the exclusive use of box cars, while at present sacked grain is car ried either in them or gondola cars, flat cars and almost any similar equip- LAUNCHING IS NEAR First of Alaska Pacffic Fleet to Be Named Oregon.

Company's line, named Oregon in honor of the only state on the Paciflo Elope to go for Charles E. Hughes in the last Presl dential campaign, will take the water at Seattle in two weeks, and Charles Burkhardt, of this olty, head of the company, says the second ship will be christened after New York or some other Eastern state that was in' the Hughes column. "The Oregon is being built principally with Oregon capital by an Oregon cor poration, and Portland will be her home port, while she may ultimately operate from Oregon; but that depends on what Is done to "Braw trade by the residents of this district," said Mr.' Burkhardt yesterday.

At present there la a vast amount of freight piled In these docks, and because of the rail congestion, which makes it difficult to move.
