1t is unnecessary for me to more
than remind you Of these difficulties
assume YOUR committee has discussed
them all and more and appreciates the
fact that this change in the method of
handling the crop must be brought
about gradually; that the producer,
who is going to largely benefit l be-
lieve by the change. must necessarily
do his share, providing facilities, help
ing to establish grades. and in fact
changing the present methods Of
handling his crop.
While the railroads believe that
it is the end to be desired: that the
benefits will be very large. yet it is not
even from their standpoint all gain.
Today we are able to handle quite a
percentage of the crop in gondola cars
in fact. avail ourselves of most any
equipment that we may have. When
the grain is handled in bulk it must
be handled in tight lined box cars pro-
vided with grain doors, and can be
handled in no other way. The lumber
and coal equipment becomes useless
in connection with the movement, and
many a car which is now taken from
eastern Washington and Idaho to the
Coast with a load of wheat will have
to be handled empty. and an empty
car drawn from the Coast will have to
take care of the wheat. Yet | believe
that the time will come when your
crop will be moved in bulk, the sama
as that of North Dakota and Minnesota
is at the present time.
"This question will receive full at
tention, and the suggestion contained
in your letter as to arrangement of
terminals and the handling of export
business in connection with the North
Bank Line, will, | am sure, not be
overlooked by the managers of that
company.

which when filled would bring the ca

Gully equipped with wagon dump,
pleaning machinery, and everything
necessary for the operation of first
class elevator. The elevator has always
been operated for bulked grain and has
been filled every year since it was
built, but we have had to receive the
grain in sacks and empty them our
selves in order to fill it. During the
season of 1906 we built a number of
wagon tanks, which were furnished
free to the farmers to use, and offered
them that year, when sacks were ex-
tremely high, to receive bulk grain on
the basis of % cents per bushel less
than sacked grain, and by making the
above extraordinary offer we succeeded
in receiving in bulk 10000 or Is, 900
bushels. The past season they went
back to sacks; did not haul single
load of bulk grain.
"One of the very serious objections
that we have encountered is the great
variety of grain that is grown and the
desire of each producer when he place
his grain in storage to obtain receipt
that will give him in return the iden-
tical grain that he has stored This
necessitates the warehouseman provid-
ing a separate bin for each producer
and the carrying of the Identical grain
in store Indefinitely. A 20, 900 bushel
elevator in this way would only be
able to handle probably 1000 bushels,
whereas if the grain could be received,
graded, pass through the house, and
carried forward to terminal elevator,
as is done in Minnesota and North Da-
kota, the 20, 900 bushel house would
handle 1000 bushels of one crop
without any trouble.

R.OMcial Tells
Of Bulk Grain
]. M. Hannaford, Second Vice President Of
Great Northern Railway Answers In
quiry Of Local Farmers Union
Committee.

A committee recently appointed
from the local branch of the Farmers
Union to investigate the question of
handling the grain crop OF eastern
Washington in bulk, has received the
following letter from Vice President
Hanaford, of the Great Northern
Railway, dated at St. Paul, on April
LIST:
Letter of March 14th, signed by
committee of the Farmers Union of
the State of Washington, and addressed
to Mr.. j. ]. Hill. president of the
Great Northern Railway Company, in
the matter of the handling of grain in
bulk by the North Bank Road, has
been referred to me.
II have always believed that the
increasing grain crop of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho could be more salts
factorily and promptly handled in
bulk than in sacks. In pursuing my
Investigations along these lines, have
discovered some reasons for the delay.
1t is evident that the carriers will not
be able, unaided by the producers, to
bring this about.
81 assume that your committee was
not aware that this company has
eighteen bulk houses with a total ca
pacity of 667, 900 bushels located on
our line west of Spokane. and that
there is bulk terminal house at tide
water. Yet not one of these houses
has proved a paying investment.
"Let me quote you from letter l
have before me from the owner of one
of these bulk houses:
1t has capacity of about 60, 900
bushels, besides nine working bins,

LIFE Of TIJHBER
GIN Be Increased
Government Experts Tell of Meth
DDS for the Preservation of
Timber.

Climber thoroughly treated with
proper preservatives will last almost
indefinitely" says government expert
who is an authority on wood preserva-
tion. Engineers have known for
years that this is true he continues.
"but up to the present time, at least
in America. complicated and expensive
plants have been necessary for the work
and wood preservation has often been
too expensive an operation to allow
treated timber to come into use. 1"
Methods in wood preservation have un-
dergone marked change in the last few
years. however, and the work which
few years ago was limited to a few
experiments carried on in scattered
parts of the United States has grown
with such rapidity that wood preserva-
tion has become a business which fig
ures most prominently in the industrial
life of this country. Each year rail-
roads are treating an increasing portion
of their cross ties, miners their mine
props, farmers their fence posts and
the men of many other industries are
bringing their preservatives into play
to close the pores and prepare the tim
ber they use to resist the fungi which
cause decay. The work points the
way to one of the chief means of the
conservation of the nation forest re-
sources, for as the length of timber is
increased the drain upon the forests is
lessened, and more wood made avail
able for use. In nearly all localities
in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific
states is found an abundant supply of
certain kinds of timber which have only
slight commercial Importance. En-
glemann spruce, lodgepole and othe,
kinds of pine. aspen. and cottonwood
are only partial list of the kinds Of
wood which are strong enough and
abundant enough to win high value
for construction purposes, were it not
