MOVEMENT OF WHEAT RESULTS
IN DELAY OF OTHER SHIP
MENTS AT PORTLAND.
Railroads Will be Able to Handle the
Immense Wheat Crop Of the In
lend Empire.

All demands for freight cars are not
being filled by the railroad companies
with dispatch these days, for the ap-
proach of wheat shipping season has
compelled the distribution of vast
number of cars in the wheat dis
tricts of Walla Walla, the Big Bend
and the Palouse is the story that
comes from Portland.
No shortage of rolling stock is ap-
parent, and the prospects are ex-
cellent that all sorts of freight will
be kept moving normally during the
season.
The Northern Pacific has had calls
lately for additional cars for the
TRANSPORTATION of lumber from Port
land eastward, but because equipment
was not furnished the mills within
day or two after being ordered, it was
thought a shortage of cars prevailed
hence some inquiry was made, but it
develops the distribution of the cars
through the grain belts is RESPONSE
BILE for the fact a few orders were
not Immediately complied with.
The o. r. & N, which line hauls
more of the cereal to tidewater here
than the others, is in better position
than ever before to take care of the
business. Some wheat has already
been moved, but the regular shipment
will not be started in quantity until
after the forepart of next month. On
the Snake river a strong bid for the
business will be made by both the O.
r. & N. and Northern Pacific, and
steamers will be pressed into SER
vice to gather the grain along the
stream and deliver it to the rail
points. 80.
