Refrigerator Oars Stored for Orders Hoataera Faelfle -Exalalas Preseaee of- Empty Cars on Sidetracks at Corval lli, Be ported by Correspoadeat. Southern Pacific officials, explaining the presence of 111 empty cars on a sid ing at Corvallis, reported by Journal correspondent, say that box and refrig erator cars are being stored at various points on their lines, awaiting orders from shippers. There were reported to have been 10 flat cars. 48 refrigerator J and 65 box cars standing on a siding near Corvallia. These figures are prac tically correct, according to officials of the road. t The 10 flat cars had been used in re laying freight at the scene of a recent derailment on the Corvallis & Eastern line, say the officials. There is no longer a shortage of closed cars in the Pacific coast states, or in any other part of the country, for that matter, they say. Bent ars are to be had in great abundance and the wants of shippers are being met in every instance. The demand for refrigerator cars is small at present and cars are betftg stored in preparation for the fruit move ment later in the season.
