Barom- In the belief that within a few years 10,000 cars of fruits from the northwest will be seeking annually water transportation to the gulf and Atlantic coast, as well as foreign markets, members of the leading fruit interests or the northwest, in session last week at Takima, appointed a com mittee to obtain additional steamer facilities from Portland and Seattle and to procure cold storage ware houses for the reception of fruit at those shipping points. This committee, known as the all western committee on water trans portation, will hold its first session June 1 at Seattle. ' Relief Programme Outlined. The meeting at Takima was called for tne purpose of perfecting an or gamzation and to outline a definite programme looking to the relief of growers and shippers of western per isnaDie products, through adeauate steamship cold st orate service to the gulf and Atlantic coast The personnel of the committee ap pointed Is as follows: Oregon C.

At the meeting In Takima, at which 90 per cent of the fruit-growing In terests of the northwest were repre sented, conferences were held with representatives of the interstate com merce commission, presenting argu ments favoring a reduction in freight rates, especially to the east. Realizing that within a few years the transportation problem, with proper cold storage facilities, was of vital Importance In the shipment of fruits, the committee will present to steamship lines out of Portland the great future for fruit business. ' While California can ship oranges and lemons by water with proper ventilation, it has been found that In the shipment of fruits, refrigera tion Is necessary4 It is this building of cold storage plants in Portland for fruits and the proper equipment ,lt'S, aireaav Grearlv lor you ppff when you make Chocolate Roll Take 3 tablespoons Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate, 3 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar, 3 large eggs.

The selection of Portland as the ex port center of the northwest follows to some extent high freight rates an the disposition on part of some rail way officials to oppose lowering of rates. At the Takima meeting there was a general feeling that the aproblem of lower rates would be solved by steamship companies and that thes interests would co-operate with Port land in securing proper dock faclll ties and cold storage warehouses. able to obtain tonnage. The mill Is on Sauvles Island and depends en tirely on water transportation. The mill employed 30 men and cut 40,000 feet daily. The management hopes to resume operation about June 1, or as soon as tonnage can be obtained to move the lumber now on hand. The big plant of the St. Helens Lumber company, having rail connection, is not affected by a lack of tonnage. Pacific kast Shipping Xotes. B LOAD HERE THIS WEEK TEHEE ARE TO TAKE CARGOES TO EUROPE.
