it

,
These
are
seen
in
reports
from
Haines,
Alaska,
that
a
barge,
service
is
expected
to
get
underway
.soon
between
that
point
and
Prince

According
to
the
mayor
of
Haines,
.John
.).
Schnabel,
there
is
a
company
planning
to
establish
a
warehouse
and
barge
grid
which
will
receive
freight
shipments
from
this
port.
Another
firm
is
said
to
.he
arranging
for
shipments
from
the
e,ast
which
will
proceed
by
barge
from
Prince
Rupert
to
Haines
and
thence
by
truck
to
Fairbanks.
If
the
Haines
highway
can
be
kept
open
the
year
around,
a
third
customer
might
be
the
Alaska
Propane
(las
Company.
Now
expanding
its
storage
facilities
at
Haines,
this
company
reports
it
could
double
its
service
to
Fairbanks
and
Anchorage
without
additional
cost
if
it
could
ship
via
the
'Prince

route
instead
of
making
the

ulm
is
understood
to
be
interested
in
taking
space
on
a
coastal
barge
service.
With
operations
between
here
and
Ketchikan
already
on
the
books,
these
opportunities
for
additional
business
make
the
("Nil's
prospects
in
this
part
of
the
country
brighter
than
ever.
It
is
possible,
of
course,
that
the
winter
condition
of
the
Haines
highway
could
hold
things
up"
since
much
of
the
potential
traffic
depends
on
this
route
into
the
interior
being
open
throughout
the
year.
