steamship Harpagus, is scheduled to-
arrive April 26. two weeks later than
had been expected. She and the two
vessels following her will go direct to
the Orient and Europe; only stopping
at Na4aimo, B. C., to fill their bunk

Instead of depending wholly upon
freight originating in local territory to
keep their fleet supplied, the officials
OF the Royal Mail will endeavor to OBJ

land points which long has been rout-
ed to the far east via San Francisco
and Puget Sound ports 1t is under
stood that the commercial organic
tions of the city, anxious to bring this
condition about and restore Portland's
prestige as shipping port, will take
the matter up with the transcontinent-
al rail lines and ask for special rates
to be granted through this gateway.
