from
federal
Minister
of

Hon.
J.
.A.
MacKinnon,
after
the
Chamber
of

had
protested
a
recent
announcement
by
tha
Board
of
Grain
Commissioners
that
grain
would
not
be
exported
through
this
port.

source
of
anticipated
shipments
through
Prince
Rupert,
necessitates
drying
the
grain
before
it
is
exported.
Grain
cannot
be
dried
in
suf
ficient
quantities
at
the
local
elevator,
Mr.
MacKinnon
said.
Because
of
its
excessive
moisture
content,
the
northern
Alberta
grain
will
have
to
be
mixed
with
southern
grain,
the
Minister
said.
This,
presumably,
will
be
done
in
southern
elevators.
The
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
Is
preparing
to
follow
up
on
Mr.
MacKinnon's
explanation.
Local
information
is
that
the
Prince
Rupert
elevator
can
dry
wheat
at
the
rate
of
1000
bushels
per
hour.
In
other
words,
this
elevator
could
dry
enough
wheat
for

large
shipload
250,000
bushels
in
250
hours
or'
could

In

The
Chamber
of

Is
following
the
matter
up
and
will
send
further
advice
to
Mr.
MacKinnon'
as
to
the
local
situation,

expected.
