Selieving that there is plenty of

Steamship Company has just com-
pleted arrangements for the plac-
ing of the Henriette on the route.
It is the intention of the company
to give a semi-monthiy service
by the Henriette to all ports as
far north as Prince Rupert, in
cluding the northern canneries
According to the schedule which
has been arranged for the Hen-
riette, she will leave here every
alternate Wednesday, making her
first trip on the run on Wednesday
this weck.

Hitherte the G. T. P. has not
had any vessel cailing at the
various ports between Vancouver
and Prince Rupert, the large steam-
er running direct to the northern
city. The Henriette is well known
as a freighter and besides being
able to handle general merchandise
she will be well equipped for the
carrying of lumber and heayy
freight, Much of the freight which
is now carried by the Prince
Rupert and Prince George will be
left over for the Henriette.

Itis the intention of the company
to use the Henriette on the new
run to work up the trade for the
Prince Albert. which will com-
mence the work in June on the
