City at the Head of the Great Lakes Now Has a Vast Storage Capacity and There Seems to Be No Limit to Its Growth--First Elevator Was Built In 1883, and Only Held a Half Million Bushels. It is when the first of the new wheat crop arrives at the head of the lakes, that Fort William's status in the British Empire must, in at least one respect, surpass that of any other city in the King's domain. Wheat, and tem of terminal elevators, unsurpassed in . this or any other country, has caused Fort. William's fame to spread in districts where this cereal is grown for a livelihood and in those in which a stalk of wheat would be a source of wonderment. It is scarcely forty years ago that there was not sufficient wheat grown on the North American continent to fill the huge elevators now completed and un- der construction at the head of Cana- dian lake navigation. Here, where the first little wooden elevator, was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway 26 years ago, can be stored, when the three under con- struction are completed a few weeks hence, sufficient wheat to feed every man, woman and child in the Dom- ipion for nearly a year Fort William's elevators, where the ripening crop of the west will be hous- ed while on its way to the markets of the world, are not only numerous, But a number of them are the most modern that human skill can devise With 'nearly a million bushels of wh during the autumn months, nothing can deal with the grain traffic but the most efficient and rapid systems { caring for .and disposing of the when it arrives. And it is the ty for speed in handling that veloped the great elevator sys- where there will be available this fall a storage capacity of approx- 7.000,000 bushels, including Northern elevator at Port Arthur, or almost sailicient to house one-third of the export wheat grown in the broad fields of the west vinces last season. Like every- else in connection with the trade' of western Canada, in- cluding the growing of wheat, the present system of grain handling 1s one of gradual growth, and represents in comparison with the methods of fifty years ago, the same advance that there has been in transportation ahd harvesting It was in 1883 that the first was built here. The capacity--500,000 bushels--was considered sufficient handle the grain of the west for man) years to come I'he crop of the fol- lowing year gave the railway com pany some idea of the possibilities of ie prairie provinces under good con- tions, and quickly added two more wooden houses to its equipment on the banks of the Kaministiquia river, these three being known as A, B and C, having a combined ea- pacity of 4,300,000 bushels. The gen- eral principle upon which the eleva- tors are built must remain the same, the operation being one of merely raising the grain by endless belts and buckets to the highest portion of the house, whence it is conveyed by car- belts to any desired portion 1t 1s desired to move the tents of any particular bin, they are allowed to flow from the bottom upor a similar belts, and the grain is carried again to the "legs," in which it is elevated and taken to an- other portion of the house or the shipping bins The {oe ste ARS elevators mat the Ce grain elevator con set of modern elevators reinforeed: concrete first crude attempt at age was made by the C ic Railway when its fourth was built, consisting of tomed tanks, holding 1,500,000 els, which gave ample storage but of- fered no fac ¥ for handling with any degree of speed [his style was ) superseded by the more modern with hopper bottoms on a con- foundation, with ample room in wer story or basement for handl equipment.
