CANADA'S HUGE GRAIN BINS
Port Arthur Paper 10 Peeved at tne'
Mention Of Kansas City Elevators.

From the Port Arthur (Canada) Evening Chronicle
Kansas City gains the attention OF
the New York Evening Post and Is,
given five inches OF space In that ad-
mirable newspaper by reason of in
creasing the capacity Of grain ele-
vaior there. The Evening Post says:
When the additions and alterations
to its huge grain elevator at Kansas.
City now under way are completed the
Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain rail-
road will have one Of the largest
plants Of its kind in the world"
The present capacity OF the Kansas.
City product Is one million bushels.
When 1t gains its promised stature
and becomes "one of the largest In
the world" it will have a capacity Of
2,133, 900 bushels.
At the mention Of grain elevators
the twin ports at the head Of the lakes.
prick up their ears and take notice.
The name OF Lloyd-George at Tory
garden party, or of President Wilson
at a bankers convention catches at
tention no quicker than the word "ele-
vator" in the hearing Of Port Arthur
Fort William man. Toronto prides
itself on its churches; Pittsburgh
specializes on millionaires; Chicago
has its pork and Boston its pork and
beans-as for us, we rise to fame on
the bins of our elevators. and he who
says lone OF the largest" about any
old two-million-bushel outfit in Me
souri, must withdraw the statement or
name the place and weapons.
II the Evening Post had said "one
general but expressive American
phrase had said some elevator" we
wouldn't have minded II so much. but
when it describes this stunted Mis-
souri, receptacle as "one of the largest
grain elevators in the world" then II
is time to kick. Why. two-million-
bushel elevators are so common here
abouts that the secretary of the board
of trade does not point them out TO
distinguished visitors. Nothing could
show clearer than that what we think
of two-million-bushel elevators.
When we have pointed to the $780,.
000-bushel c. N. r. elevator and the
1890, 000-bushel G. p. r. elevator and
the $500. 000-bushel G. T. p. elevator;
then to the $500, 000bushel Dominion
Government elevator which is only
the first unit OF what is to be a 80.
milllon-bushel plant, by that time the
air is so full of millions that the
listener would be annoyed II we both
cred him with mention of mere two
million-bushel affair. So we just lump
the balance together and describe the
grand total OF 45.million-bushel capac,
ity already standing at the head Of
the lakes.
Upon the basis upon which Kansas
City got Ave inches OF space in the
Evening Post we claim a compliment
tary writeup of at least three columns
and In the article we would state that
In one respect We are like Kansas
City-when II Is a question OF big ele-
vators We also are from Missouri.
