' ' this morning's Instructions, we have
been unable actually jto take over the
flour offered In substantial puantities
by dealers and consumers. We shall

Jngs, and all who are willing to go on a
' wheatleas or more nearly wheatless diet

end, should get in touch with the county
administrators at once."
t'.The instructions provide that all flour
from districts tributary to Seattle will
be assembled at Seattle and shipped
directly from there; that from districts
tributary. to Portland will be assembled
here for 'exporting, and that Southern
Idaho flour will move toward New

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.
