He is looking into the whole situation on the Pacific Coast and on his report will depend in large measure what is to be done by the company. The Blue Funnel Line is one of the great carriers of the world. Its vessels make regular trips from British ports through the Mediterranean, calling at ports in Asia Minor, Arabia, India, China, and Japan, before reaching the ports of Victoria, Vancouver, and Seattle. On the regular line of travel Prince Ru. pert would be the first port of call naturally, on the way from the Orient, and the last port of call on the return trip from this coast, owing to the geographical position of the city. Accompanying Mr. Jones on this trip is ,1. Stewart, of Seattle, representing the Pacific Coast agems ot the Blue Funnel Line.
