EMPTIES WOULD BE USED Congestion at Great Lakes Gate way Would He Relieved in Practical Manner. OTtBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, . Aug. 14. Plans for a heavier movement of ' crrain from eastern Montana and the western Da le otas to north Pacific ports as a means of relieving the congestion at the ''great lanes gateway appear to be ttnder consideration by the inter state' commerce commission. The sug gestion was first made during the week by Commissioner Aitchison at a hearing of representatives of the grain-growing sections of Montana. North and South Dakota. Iowa. Ne braska and Minnesota, who were clamoring for more cars and for a readjustment of rail and water rates to make easier the movement of the crops. All transcontinental rail .Lnes serv ing the Pacific, especially those of the Pacific northwest, have a heavy empty movement to the west. A practical way of filling out this empty move ment appears to have been afforded in the Aitchison suggestion.. W. B. Uodu Makes Speech. "This sage suggestion, of the sim plest and most practical order, came from the Oregon member of the com mission as something of a bombshell for the particular element then before the rate body," said W. B. Dodson. t manager of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. . "Many persons who are interested in moving wheat solely to the east ward were present. That movement has been the custom. Certain busi ness has been built up on that custom. Certain persons are interested In that business. If the natural and pract'eal thing of making this wheat move to the Pacific and there take ships through Panama canal to Kurope. were adopted, some of these individuals might have to change their systems. ' "However, commissioner Aitchison's suggestions went deep into the mincte of some of the powers that be. It is declared impossible to get cars for some of this cereal from what the east calls the northwest, even to tvaul it to the head of the great lakes, where ships with a, capacity of 75,000 cars at a single voyage are engaged in the ore and coal trade. Cars have to be sent to the Pacific northwest for its vital needs. These cars go with a heavy percentage empty en route. Coal from Utah, cement from that intermediate terri tory, phosphate rock from eastern Idaho, and other commodities have been nursed to get a partial loading to th Pacific short line. .' Ocean Tonnage Discussed. "Prior to the war. rates were befng made on wheat from parts of Mon tana and Utah and Wyoming, to help this westbound empty movement. Commissioner Aitchison suggests that the., same principle be extended and wheat that is now declared impos sible of movement otherwise be taken out of the middle west for the Pa cific ships. As. cereal rates on sh'os through the Panama canal has dropped from $28. to $20 lately, and under competitive conditions may drop further, ocean tonnage conditions In vite execution of the commissioner's suggestion. . "In all the rate hearings here the empty movement westbound on the North Pacific transcontinental lines has been an Important consideration. Prior to the war, the Union Pacific said its empty movement at Hunting ton was 30 per cent westbound. Dur ing the war, when enormous timber, lumber and wheat shipments were coming out- of the Pacific northwest this, empty movement westbound was said to have climbed to 41 and even 60 per cent at times. Federal Control -Reviewed. "It must be a great factor of the fu ture. In one year under government control 220,000 cars of lumber and shingles were shipped from Oregon and .Washington east of a line drawn through Montana, Wyoming and Utah. This is a bulk commodity. Vast in creases in this movement are sure for the future, when Oregon pine reaches the Mississippi river on a rate enab ling It to capture that business from the yellow pine trade of the south. It is but a few years off because of the drain of the lumber business In the south, and the rapid growth in the Pacific northwest. "Then experts declare that 500.000 and 600.000 cars of lumber products from this region annually will prob ably be less than normal. Then tha loading back to the Pacific becomes imperative, if eastbound rates are not made prohibitive. Commissioner Ait chison, in trying to point out the solu tion for a temporary emergency, may Be pointing- tne way for great or per manent relief of the highest Impor tance to the railways of the north west and to the Pacific ports." ir Kirschbaum Clothes m the Season's Smart New Designs are to be found here exclusively.
