Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, October 16, 1952 Page 8 Grain Movement By Barge and Truck Reaches New Peak August marked a record-breaking movement of grain via river iiarges and trueks into Portland, according lo word from the state department of agriculture. It almost appeared, recounts C. V. Wright, chief of the depart ment's division of grain inspec tion, as though Portland eleva tors, mills and docks were in the midst of the grain fields as streams of trucks lined up throughout the day awaiting turns at unloading and as river iiarges almost ennstantly dis charged their yellow gold at specially equipped elevators or waited their turns at the unload ing berths. By these two modes of hauling (and does not touch at all upon the rail movement); 1,902,022 bushels of grain were shipped in to Portland last month. Forty three barges discharged 811,578 bushels of wheat and 1,180 trucks hauled in' 576,759 bushels of wheat. Slightly more than 150 trucklots.of oats and barley were inspected. Truck movement of barley was under last year; be cause of better quality for malt ing purposes, more barley was loaded by rail for direct shipment. Shipping grains by barges Is of fairily recent origin on the Co lumbia river. At the outset, small wooden barges were used but in recent years specially designed steel barges have been installed. These have capacity ranging froml7,000 to 26,500 bushles or equivalent to from 8 to 13 aver age cars of grain. The barge ship ments originate at the ports of The Dalles, Arlington, and Uma tilla in Oregon and Port Kelly, Washington.
