STEAMERS TO RUN
TO new ZEALAND
Oceanic Company Will Resume
Service From This Port
Early Next Year

Following close upon the interchange
of expressions OF good will between
the United States and New Zealand in
cident to the visit of the fleet in the
south seas, comes the announcement
that the two countries are to be con-
nected once more by a direct line of
steamships. The service will be re-
sumed in January Of next year by the
Oceanic steamship company in con-
company of New Zealand After an alb
sence OF one year, during which New
Zealand and the United States have
been practically out of touch with each
other, vessels carrying the American
flag will again ply regularly between
San Francisco and New Zealand.
With the new year a regular passen-
ger and mail service viii be inaug-
urated between San Francisco and We'll
lington. the capital of New Zealand.
Not only will the new Hne aid in build
ing up Americas commerce and its
merchant marine. hut il will tend TO
add to the Importance of the port of
San Francisco. When the Oceanic serv-
ice was discontinued a year ago pre-
dictions were made that the New Zea-
land trade that; had passed through this
port would find its way to the upper
harbors OF the Pacific or TO Canada
The recent visit of the fleet to New
Zealand has greatly strengthened
Americas position in the south seas
and an increased traffic is looked for as
a result.
The route has been arranged for the
special advantage of travellers and will
allow a two days stopover at Tahiti.
The reversal of the sea sons will adrnft
of perpetual summer trip. Tahiti en-
joying its warm season during the CAL
ifornia winter.
The sailing arrangements formerly in
effect made Auckland the port OF call in
New Zealand = but the new schedule
planned to begin next January makes
Wellington the point of destination.
