The water rate on export grain 100 pounds from the Twin Cities New Orleans will be 14.8 cents, the same as the rate per 100 pounds through the Duluth and Montreal water way The rail rate for export wheat mMinneapolis to New Orleans i Vater rate consumed grain from the Twin Cities to ‘New Orleans will be 19.5 cents per hun- dred to Memphis and 33.5 cents to New Orleans.

Frank S. Reilly, assist- ant traffic manager of the Missis: sippi Water Way, predicted the new water rates on grain to New Or- leans would turn a large amount of northwest grain to the Mississippi river. OPENS NEW ERA FOR “= NORTHWEST FARMERS Although it is qusrtionabls if the Mississippi river barge service can handle any considerable percentage of the grain shipments from the Northwest this year, its institution and the newly announced rates should open a new era for the farmer, C, W. McDonnell, member of the state rail- road board, said here py: An increase in the facilities of the barge line will make it an im- portant transportation factor for Northwestern grain, he said, offering water competition to the Duluth- Montreal route. The only present prospect of a blockade in the heavy grain move- ment expected tris year is that the elevators at Duluth and Minneapolis may not be able to move the jin out in as great a volume as is received. The bafge line should help to relieve such a situation if it oc- curs, he said. Airplane Theft : 4 more they are)
