It was reported this morning that there was -no grain on the territory between here and Red Pass Junction. This morning there were 1,100,000 bushels of grain in the local house, which has a total capacity for about 1,250,000 bushels. Theintention evidently is to fill the Prince Rupert elevator full and then there is the prospect that there may be a tie-up with no more.w.heat coming in and none moving out. As yet, there is no word as to when the first ship of the season may come here to load. While there is no official information to that effect, it is believed it may be at least a few weeks before a boat comes. A full crew is, still in employment at the elevator.
