' ' jys I c . . .. . , . - (From Saturday Daily.) If ever before in the history pf Ore gon has the freight business been so lively in H line in Salem ai this fall, and the iall shipping has hardly be gun yet either. t "In a few flays or, weeics nops wit: begin moving east, and wheat to th .manufacturing centers, and there are thousands of tons of hay and millions of bushels of oats to be marketed be fore long. The Immense prone crop must also be shipped East, bat prunes are already being forwarded daily. The Southern Pacific Company has no far handled practically, all. of the freight from this city and vicinity for the reason that the river has been so low all summer that the river carriers bad all they could do to crawl over the numerous bars without being loaded down with freight. Now winter Is ap proaching and the rains have begua there I reason to expect xnat nence- forth there will be plenty of water for all steamboats, and the regular winter tuns will probably be taken up soon, A large amount of freight will then b handled daily by river steamers. The great shortage of freight cars this fall has almost amounted to a car famine, and evfy shipping point in the--Willamette valley has felt the ef ftft'ts. It is claimed that In some sec tions large quantities of grain are still lying in the fields exposed to ' the weather because all storage room is Ailed, and cars cannot be secured tj whip the grain. This shortage exists with some other railroads to a much greater extent than with the Southern Pacific Company, so it Is almost im possible for one company to borrow of another. However, the company is making an effort to relieve the stringency of the situation, and every car which can possibly be secured is sent up the val ley.. .'Such a large .quantity of Oregon I'roduee is ;now being shipped- direct to ihr Kant that the extra cars are -all en route across the continent,. either going or coming.

The Salem Flouring Mills Company Ittt already received about twenty-ftv.e rtoad of wheat from outside, and la now forwarding ah average of two rtn of flour to Portland per day. From three to five carloads of dried prunes re shipped from Salem dally? fo points ia the Hunt and Canada, besides large -'ituntities of other freight. Every freight train is composed of awe rare than the engine is really able haul, and many times loaded cars re left standing on a switch. Frank R. Johnson, general agent for "n of the Canadian Pacific Com Pnr. wan In the city recently, and ateti that he thought the difficulty In during cars was due to so many of r being in the. East.
