But this In not all. The further plan Is
20 place regular lines Of stsamsfs on the
Pacific ocean between Port Moody apd
she principal portAtf China aud japan,
and even Australia. Go eompete for the

and England. The Pacific lines to Peri
Moody will, Of D0ilrse, Deesme direct
competitors of the Occidental and Oh
