BIG FLOUR CARG0ES
ARE Diverted HERE
Nine Boats Bring 10000 Tons
OF Product to This Port-Three

STORED IN WAREHOUSES;

Seventy thousand tons of -four, orig
inally scheduled for New YORK, have
been diverted here because of this ports
exceptional facilities for handling the
shipments. Some of the -four already
has arrived.
The shipments were made from the
Pacific coast, and are the largest of
their kind ever to come here. Nine ships
were required to convey the flour. The
ships dock at the new army base piers,
e5 and 96. Oregon avenue.
Three of the vessels--the first to dock
at the immense Oregon avenue piers
are unloading now, and the others are
due to arrive within a week. All Of
them sailed from Portland or Seattle
with -four mllled IN different western
coast cities.
Learning that the 1500-foot piers Of
the new army base, with their storage
capacity of 165, 900 tons. were ready for
use, the United States Grain Commis-
sion, by special arrangements with Gen
eral Hines, of Washington, decided to
send the -four shipment to this port in
stead of to New York, and sent wire
less orders changing the course of the
ships while they were two days cut of
port.

The army base at Oregon and Della
ware avenues is practically completed
and is one of the finest pier equipments
in the world. Its two piers are of
total length of 1000 feet and can accom-
same time. A double railroad track
runs down the middle Of each pier and
along their lengths are travelling cranes
for quick unloading of cargo. The piers
are 300 feet wide and have total storage
area of more than 1000, 900 square feet
In and around the piers is space for
the accommodation of 300 railroad cars
and four miles of permanent track.
The slips are deep enough to receive
any vessel that can come up the river
to this port.
