JAOTABY 9, 1920 V l tr' 'Ill sli Vfi U'.H !G FLOUR CARGOES ARE DIVERTED HERE Nino Boats Bring 70,000 Tons of Product to This Port Three Havo Docked STORED IN WAREHOUSES Seventy thousand tons of flour, orig inally scheduled for New York, havo been diverted here because of this port's exceptional facilities for handling the shipments. Some of the flour already has arrived. The shipments vcero made from the Pacific coatt, 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, 05 and 06. Oregon avenue. Three of the vessels the first to dock at the immense Oregon avenue piers nre unloading now, and the others are due to arrive within a week. All of them sailed from Portland or Seattle with flour milled in different western coast cities. Learning that the 1500-foot piers of the new armv base, with their storage capacity of 165,000 tons, were ready for use, the United Stntes Grain Commis sion, by special arrangements with Gen eral Hines, of Washington, decided to send the flour shipment to this poit in stead of to New York, and sent wire less orders changing the course of the ships while they were two dajs cut of port. Three Boats Here The West Jaffrey, ChrisSeld and Effna, now lying at the piers, were re cently built in western coast shipyards. All of the nine shies in the "grain squadron" are operated under the United States shipping board. They carry cargoes of flour ranging from 5000 to 10,000 tons. All the flour will be stored in the fireproof warehouses of the army piers until the Grain Commission decides on its ultimate destination. It is packed in "export" bags two sacks of seventy pounds each, in a burlap sock but whether the shipment will bo sent abroad has not yet been decided. "Your new army base here in Phila delphia is the finest pier equipment I 'avo ever seen," said Captain N. S. Nelson, of the Chrisfield. It has every requirement oi a great snipping base. The piers will accommodate three 500- foot snips use mine, uliile tne biggest pier I ever saw anywhere else would hold but two. It is the only pier I know of where cargo can be unloaded directly onto the second floor of the warehouse. And the most striking thing about the equipment is Its per manence and tho unusually lino con struction." "I cau see no reason why Philadel phia should not develop into one of the great ports of tho world," be went on, "when you ore building piers and ware houses like these." The army base at Oregon and Dela ware avenues is practically completed and is one of the finest pier equipments in the world. Its two piers are of a total length of 2000 feet and can accom modate twelve 500-foot ships at the same time. A double railroad track runs down the middle of each pier and along their lengths are traveling cranes for quick unloading of cargo. The piers are 300 feet wide and have total storage area of more than 1.000,000 square feet. In and around the piers is cpace for the accommodation of 300 railroad cars nnd four miles of permanent track. Tho slips arc deep enough to receive any essel that can como up tho river to this poit.
