PORTLAND CONCERN
WILL SHIP GRAIN TO
HAWAII DEPARTMENT

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. Ex-senator
George E. Chamberlain has advised
the Chamber of Commerce of the
awarding to the Northern Grain &
Warehouse Company of Portland of a
contract to supply 100 tons of oats
for government uses.
There are 3,350,000 pounds of oats
in the order. The grain will be ship
ped to Hawaii and delivered to the
war department.
The Northern Grain & Warehouse
Company had not been advised this
morning of when delivery would COM
mence or how the grain would be
transported. Itwas not believed that
tbefwar department would send a yes
Sc Ito this port for this material, but
that the company would be asked to
make delivery at the docks at San
Francisco. IA. u. ..:.-..=-
An effort is now being made by the
chamber to ascertain why Portland
bidders were not allowed the contract
for the full 1900 tons of grain asked
for in the bids, as Portland bids we're
the lowest. Part of the allotment was
made to Puget Sound men, it is said.
The Northern Grain & Warehouse
Company is in position to begin de
livery whenever the material is
wanted.
