Pacific Xoviliwest to cluimo its facilities for handling grain for export if i; -ivi,,i t.i rot.-iin t'wir 1inini'ss. The biffh urice of sacks I iUitl the liiT.vrdty of obtaining them at any price have given a great impetus to the change from sack to bulk handling of grain. This movement gains force from the fact that sacking is much less necessary since ships gave up the Cape Horn route for the Pam-ima Canal route to Europe. The short experience hr.d by some growers has convinced them that there is great economy in Lulk handling. They ask Portland to provide a public elevator in order that they may ship bulk grain to this port. Other ports have already provided for bulk handling. Seattle has an elevator of 1,000,000 bushels capacity, and Van couver, B. C, has one of 1,250,000. If Portland is to hold its lead in the export business, it must do likewise. Of the 60,000, 000 bushels of wheat grown in Oregon, Washington and Idaho in an average year, about 35,000,000 is in competitive territory and will be shipped to the port offering the best facilities. Hitherto more than half the wheat exported from the Pacific Northwest lias been shipped from Portland. "Without an ele vator much of this business is likely to be lost. With an eleva tor this port's share may well be increased, not only from the three states named but from Montana and Utah, which are fast increasing their grain production. An elevator will draw wheat their way; no elevator will send it elsewhere. Careful study of the able and exhaustive report made by G. B. Heganit engineer of the Dock Commission, on methods of grain handling, leaves no room for doubt that the change from sacks to bulk is destined to be permanent. Doubtless it was hastened by the cost and scarcity of sacks, but it would be a mistake to assume that, when this influence is removed, thei'e will be a return to the use of sacks. Those objections to sacks are likely to continue for several years, and so long as they con tinue the erection of elevators for bulk handling in the interior may be expected to continue. Wherever the change has been made, farmers are of one mind in declaring that they will never return to sacks. Bulk handling is the rule in every other grain growing section of the United States, world prices are quoted for bulk wheat and the time was ripe for a change in the Pacific Northwest. It was inevitable, and was only hastened by the conditions growing out of the war. Oregonian. ft STAR THEATRE "The Gay LordWaring" Five Thrilling Acts SATURDAY ' ONLY Featuring J.

V!: V . EWi r w'j ua r & if i 777' l ...,",v.: r" e Time.-. I PSami VoiiGir m for iiiis Veaiir We have prepared a book of plans of buildings erected here in the Northwest. These xlesigns embody many exclusive features that go to make the best possible building for the least cost. We will gladly show you our plans no matter what you contemplate building. Modem Northwest Homes, Barns, Hog sheds," designed according to U. S. Government recommendations for this climate. TUM-A-LUM SILOS, recommended above all other types for this climate by U. S. Gov't., O. A. C. and W. S. C. Grain bins, elevators, store buildings, small schools, churches, etc. " v v ,( No matter what you contemplate building you should ask to see our free plan books on same. We can work your building out on paper now and save you a good bunch of money. , Building by guess is now practically a thing of the past. Working it out on paper enables you to see just how your building is going to look before you begin. You can change the sketch as many times as you wish to change it without expense. . ' ', . There are no extras to pay for when you buiid by the TUM-A-LUM METHOD We furnish all the ; lumber material necessary to complete the building. We tell you exactly how much your building will cost before you spend one cent. We furnish blue prints and material lists showing where every piece of . material belongs. There is no waste. Every piece is figured so that it cuts exactly no guess" work about the complete cost. Should any material be left when the building is up, you can bring it back and we -will refund your money. x ' 1 ' You Can Afford to Build Now WTe can save you 25 per cent of the cost. It costs lesss to build now than 10 years ago. The TUM-A-LUM METHOD makes lumber lower today than it was ten years ago better in quality and you can buy it as cheaply right here in your own town as you can buy anywhere in the world. Your farm lands have doubled and trebled in value you get twice as much for your grain but it costs you less to build now than it did ten years ago. You can now put up the build ings you have needed, but which you could not afford because lumber was so high. Build Better Buildings for Less Money You pay the lowest possible price for finished building material when you build by the TUM-A-LUIu METHOD and in addition you get the ser vices of experts who show you how to make every cent do the most work. These imm have made building their life work. They know their busi-" ness and will help you save 25 to 30 per cent on the cost of your building just as they have done for a great,many other people. You Can Save Money Now Lumber is about the only thing that isn't "high." The worst car shortage in history, how ever, is preventing practically all shipments from being made, so that it is not unreasonable to ex pect a serious scarcity of lumber during the com ing season. This scarcity is almost certain to ad vance the prices. You can save money by buying NOW before the situation develops. ' Putting it off simply means that the material you know you are going to need will cost you more money planning. will be done in a rush material will have to be hauled when your teams are working overtime and car shortage will delay the arrival of material. COME IN TODAY-NO OBLIGATION TO BUY, AS WE ARE GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE. TUM-A-LUM L'B'R COMPANY Exrlting Scenes in Photoplay. Those who love sensations with their moving picture entertainment will have their (ill in the Bluebird to be exhiibted at the Star Theatre on Saturday, February 10 under the title of "The Gay Lord Waring." J. Warren Kerrigan plays the role of a spendthrift scion of English no bility who goes through a series of wild adventures In his ceaseless ef forts to obtain money to gratify his penchant for high living. One of the most exciting scenes and realistic, too, is the burning of a house and the rescue of two people by the hero of the story. Theatri cal effect is heightened by every de vice known to the craft; as flames consume a handsome residence, great crowds stand around excited ly suggesting means to aid the im prisoned people; other form bucket brigades and dash into the smoke filled house In an effort to quench the fire. Meanwhile nothing practical Is done until Lord Waring appears up on the scene and then things hap-" pen. Presumably because he has come to a time when he must commit suicide in order that certain stipula tions shall be fulfilled, his Lordship is a most reckless person. Wetting towels which he binds over his nose and mouth he recklessly braves the smoke and flames. First he is seen in the act of res cuing a erippled girl who has fallen insensible on the floor, overcome by smoke. With the girl safe he makes a second dash into the burning building and drags forth the old man but he fails to save this life, and consequently the story Is able to reach a most satisfactory ending. : For, if the old man had lived,, the dashing hero would have been com pelled to commit suicide, and in moving picture stories most "fans" ,.ul Diinio Hint H la hntter to swaD fa mean old miser for a handsome leading man that hero and heroine may "live happily ever after." A few weeks ago, "God's Country and the Woman," a stirring photo play of the north woods, was pre sented for the first time to a Hepp ner crowd of theatre goers. The play was so well received, and manager Sparks had so many requests to play It herex again, that a return engage ment has been secured lor the 17tn of February.
