power. She was built at Elizabeth,
N. J., in 1918 for war service, but

boat. Her owner, before being
bought by the Northland Line, was
the Portland-California Steamship
Company, with a home port in San
| Francisco.
According to J. B. Burford, the
Admiral Peoples—who, irfcidentally,
1 may have a new name by the time
| she sails on her maiden voyage—
| will operate on a weekly schedule
j with the Northland. This probably
j will mean that the Norco, now
j being used with the Northland, will
j be switched to a freight run.
