Higher Grain Rates
Higher freight rates grain TO southern
ports are announced at furtldhu. NiiSiuJ ~
rate to San Francisco has been boosted by
the North Pacific. and san Francisco anu
Portland companies from SIPS TO Sl10 ton
The low rate was made several months ago
TO keep the business from the steam schoon-
ers.
Now that the lumber rate has been advanced
and all the steam schooners available are en-
gagged in the lumber trade, the Dig liners WIN
probably be able TO control the grain snip
ments at the advanced rate.
Practically all the grain from Columbia

ried by the North Pacific steamers Roanoke
and George w. Elder. Occasionally a steam
schooner gets a cargo for this port The
