Capt. Usaburo Osawa and
Senji Imai, representatives of the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Japan's
greatest steamship company,
have been here investigating the
possibilities of the port. They
will report to their company on
what they find here. One is the
— captain for the company at
eattle and the other is his as-
sistant. They were impressed
with the harbor, the railway

grade and also with the nearness
of this point to the Orient. They
pointed, however, to the lack of
local cargoes.

While they could give no as-
surance that the big shipping
company would consider this port
in its general scheme of trans-
portation, that being a matter
for their head office to determine,
they expressed the opinion that
the port had great possibilities
and that it was not unlikely their
company might take advantage of
them. They left for the south
last night.
