'No
Harbor
Charges
At
This
Port.
One
of
the
great
advantage
of
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
is
the
fact
that
there
are
at
present
no
harbor
duss
here.
At
Vancouver
they
are
very
heavy
and
at
practically
every
port
in
the
world
there
are
harbor
dues
which
have
to
be
paid
by
shipv
entering.
Here
there
are
absolutely
no
.local
changes
except
lboe.
imposed
by
Ihe
customs
at
all
ports
in
Canada
and
which
are
purely
nominal.
Il
will
be
a
great
thing
for
Prince
Hupert
ifwe
can
keep
the
porl
clear
of
tonnage
charge.
It
"will
be
an
inducement
for
shipping
to
come
here
if
they
have
nothing
