SHIPPERS QUIT THE RAILROADS Western Fruit Now Sent East by Ocean Route NEW YORK, April 26.—Shipments of fruit and other products from the Pacific coast to New York by boat, via the Panama Canal, are increas ing steadily. Growers have diverted their ship- ments from the railroads to escape recent freight increases, which they say are ruinous, The waterway delivery has passed the experimental stage, says Dwight L. Woodruff, eastern selling agent for the Hood River Apple Growers’ Association of Washington. “Orchards in our district produce $2,000,000 worth of apples yearly,” says Woodruff. “Before the war we found New York our best market for the 2,000 carloads we shipped an- nually, These netted about $1,000 per car, “Then came the freight increases, adding 50 cents a box and additional leing charges. Freight bills then came to more than half of what the grower could sell his apples for. “Railroads charge $1.66% a hun. dred pounds for fruit delivered in New York. Growers now ship this same fruit by boat for 70 cents a hundred pounds.” The Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Com- pany is pne of the steamship lines that is rushing preparations to han die increased coast-to-coast food shipments, Captain C. R. Bradley, eastern traffic manager, says the company has spent more than $1,000,000 in the last three months installing re- frigerating plants in its ships. Proof that this diversion of prod. uce is making heavy tnroads on rail shipments is seen in the desolate ap- pearance of rail sidings where fruit cars from the West formerly were unloaded, ‘The New York Merchants’ Asso: ciation is actively aiding the move to popularize sea shipments, OLYMPIA.—Western Washington hospital at.Steilacoom praised hy Dr, Dunean MacCalman, federal in. spector, “As the town gets older, |!
