JANUARY 21, 1916. -GRAIN -EXPORTERS OF NORTHWEST F, CRISIS Atlantic and Gulf Ports Are Blockaded While Vessels Draw Demurrage Daily, RAILROAD DEAF TO PLEAS Tracks Between Cfclcaro and ew Tor " Hold Much drain While Docks in rilldl With Idle Freight. drain exporters are faced by a new crisis, the lack of facl!1tie ror hand ling their grain through the Atlantic coast ports. The terminal problem has been ser ious on the Atlantic and Gulf sea -boards for several months but haa gotten worse Instead of better. It La reported. Portland exporters are authority for the statement that between thret and five million bushels of grain are now In 'cars between Chicago and New York nd not enough In New York to fill the ships waiting there. Demurrage on ships is. as a result, amounting to many thousand lnllars each day. One Portland Exporter Is reported to be paying over $1000 a day demurrage. ry Says Cat to Limit. Lay days on the Atlantic, due to the high price of vessels, have been cut to the limit. Exporters have had no ay In the matter, the owners of ves sels having the whip hand and en forcing their demands. Meanwhile freights are raising al most daily. The rate from the Atlantic eaboyd to English ports Is 17 pence a bushel, whereas three weeks ago pertce was the quotation. "The railroads are putting us to a loss every day," declared M. II. Houser. leading Portland exporter, this morning. "Tha roads on the Pacific coast owe us favors because we give them a great deal of busi ness every year. Discrimination Is Alleged. -"The roads east of Chicago have never received any of our Dusiness . before and as a result favor their steady shippers to our detriment. The local firms have been hounding the roads nlRht and day trying to gt their grain to tidewater, without suc cess. "Some of the discrimination has been almost criminal. Goods have been taken Into New York for which the water facilities couldn't be avail able for weks .and the tracks are. . as a result, cluttered with freight that cannot he moved out of the way for the grain for which steam ers and sailing ships are lying at anchor in the stream." It has been estimated that In the neighborhood of 20.000.000 bushels Of the 1915 grain crop will be moved to Europe through the Atlantic and Gulf ports. BAY CITY TO HAVE LINE Pacific Co&nt to Put Senator on Run to Alaska From South. San Francisco. Cal.. Jan. 21. (P. N. 8.) San Francisco is again to be a port of leave for steamers sailing for Alaskan points. Beginning May 30, the Pacific Coast Steamship company will put its Nome liner Senator on a direct run from this city to far northern points. San Francisco will benefit material ly by the decision of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, which was influ enced to establish a San Francisco Alaska run by the new prohibition law in Washington. The law provides that liquor ship ments to the north must originate out side of the state of Washington, but may be transferred from one vessel to another at Seattle. Rather than trans fer cargoes, the steamship company has decided to carry liquor shipments, together with such other additional cargo as may be obtained here, direct ly from San Francisco to Alaska. DAMAGE TO CRAFT IS LARGE Ice and Collision Cause Much Trouble to Steamers. Damage from the ice in the Colum bia river continue to increase. The Port of Portland towboat Ock lahama will probably be out for two months. New cylinder- timbers must be seasoned for her use, and her ether ' repairs will take some tima. Officers of the steamer Temple E. Dorr, which ran down the Ocklahama, were before Federad Inspectors Deerin and Craft this morning, and other crews will be up later In the day. The steamer Johan Poulsen will be lifted in the drydock for repairs this afternoon, soma of the planking hav ing been worn through by the con stant scraping of the lea.

The Chamber of Commerce is mak ing every effort to have steamship service between Portland and Coos Bay increased. George E. Hardy and W. D. B. Dod son of that body are in San Francisco trying to have Charles P. Doe. owner of the North Pacific Steamship com pany,, put another vessel on the run to alternate with the F. A. Kllburn, now the only vessel on the run. Doe had intended placing the steam er Breakwater on the run. but recently chartered the steamer George W. Elder for a high sum for west coast trade and has announced that the Break water will perhaps replace the Kider, leaving the Kllburn alone to handls the trade. With only the one steamer on the run and freight rates recently raised Portland shippers assert that they are having difficulty holding the lucrative trade they have built up. In case the Voe interests refuse to grant ths request an attempt will be made to interest other parties in the venture. Eurana Earning $30O.0O0. San Francisco, Jan. 21. (P. N. S.)
