business could be built up satisfactorily.
There also is the business outlook
on the North Coast run to be consider
ed, Mr.. Stone pointed out. The con

run must take cognizance of the cOndi-
lions here and those on the coastwise
trade between San Francisco and Flavel.
In addition, there are the three railroads
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
Burlington, to be considered, for the
two vessels were built for their feeders,
and they have voice in their disposal.

Royal Rosarians Of Portland for n vow

pite announcement of schedule from
Portland.
