of one of the leading grain firms of the
state He said: investigations OF un-
usual interest have recently been going
on, which have great significance for
Washington and Idaho. Certain large
milling concerns have had their experts in
Washington making estimates of the COM
parative advantages mills on this coast
have over those of the eastern and middle
states in milling for export.
"The results have been so favorable
that an expert Touring mill Of much
greater capacity than any now here will
be built at once somewhere within this
state. The exact point has not yet been
announced, but wherever located it will
have a marked influence on the wheat and
-four business of the state, and may lead
to a transfer of large part of the export
flour from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast before the end is reached.
''The scheme involves vast capital and
will be the most gigantic and important
event in the business history Of this
state"
While the man who gave the story
would not admit it, 1t is understood that
the movement is to counteract the recent
combination of the interests of the Cen
tennial Mill company and the ]. Q.
Adams warehouse interests, operating on
the Great Northern railroad, and that the
new combination will work altogether on
the Northern Pacific.

Pullman, Wash, May 17.-What is be-
lieved to be an important change in the
milling and grain industry is said to be
under contemplation between eastern cap
italists and one Of the principal grain
firms of Washington, and the plan as now
outlined will in a measure revolutionize
the grain and milling industry of this
state. 1t involves the erection Of one of
the largest mills in the country, and one
much larger than any now in operation in
this state. Spokane or Seattle will be the
site of the new mill, which will have con-
nections with grain warehouse at various
points on the Northern Pacific in all the
wheat-growing districts Of the state. and
it is intended to establish a line Of boats
from the sound to the orient for the pur-
pose Of transporting the -four which is to
be ground in this state. instead of being
shipped in the form of wheat.

To Reorgantze the mPooI.~

The rumor will not down that there is to be
war in freight rates among the railroads
west of Chicago, and the latest reason alleged
is the withdrawal of the Chicago Great West
ern from the western freight pool last fall.
Recently attempts have been made to reor-
ganize the old western freight pool, but
with little success. H. H. Courtright, chair
man, has been i'll for the past year, and the
business of the associationh such as ii is,
has been under the supervision of George w.
Ristine, the former president of the Colorado
Midland. 1t Is stated Ehat another attempt
will be made during the coming week to re-
organize the pool at a meeting to be held
in Chicago
Nearly all the western roads have assured
trunk line representatives that passenger
tariff troubles from western points will soon
be aTnicably settled. The question Of the
differential demanded by the Wabash road
is to be adjusted at joint conference.

DOESN'T GIVE UP HOPE
Vancouver May Get the G. N. by the
Fraser River Bridge.

Special to The Journal.
Vancouver, B. c., May lit is now
considered unlikely, in view Of the terms
of the provincial railway loan proposals
and the endeavOr made to keep out the
Great Northern, that there will this year
be any railroad construction between
Vancouver and the Kootenays. But as the
provincial government has voted $500,0OO
for Fraser river railway bridge, and the
right of way is largely cleared between
point near the proposed bridge site and
Vancouver, it is earnestly hoped that the
result may be the coming of the Great
Northern to Vancouver over the bridge
and right of way.
The Great Northern already has a serv-
ice over a branch line to South West
minister, whence, if the bridge be built,
a course of sixteen miles, easily trav-
ersed. will facilitate entrance to Van
couver
An effort is about to be made to de-

stands in the way. The Canadian North
ern will assume the operation of the lines
as soon as the transfer is made, and the

g. N. OficiaIs siIent,

Great Northern officials refuse either to
confirm or deny the report sent out from
Great Falls that the roads shops there would
be closed. Indications are, however that the
road is preparing to handle its work in the
shops already established at St. Paul, St.
Cloud and Spokane, and it is said that big
improvements and considerable additions to
the st. Paul plant are projected.
