the proposed tariff, which the
commission said in its order “ap- '
pear to be in violation of the I
commission’s order in Docket No.
652.” It was in that docket that
rates of the lighterage concern
serving Nome and other Bering
Sea ports were found to be ex
cessive and unlawful.
The United States Smelting Re
fining and Mining Company also |
protested the rate on bulk oil
in the new tariff, declaring that
the commission had found “that
the rates of the Lomen Commer
cial Company produced unreason
able earnings,” but that instead
of reducing its rates in conformity
with the commission’s order, the
I lighterage company had produced
i “higher charges than were pre
viously in effect.”

PAUL BUCK MEETS AN
OLD FRIEND IN ANCHORAGE
ANCHORAGE, — Things are
looking brighter today for Paul
Buck of White Mountain.
But for a while last night things
looked anything but bright.
Paul is an Eskimo, and like
many of his people he is suf
fering from the scourge of tuber
culosis. He arived in Anchorage
recently after a hurried trip from
his village home, enroute to the
Sanatorium at Seward.
Paul Buck is a proud native.
During the war he worked as a
bulldozer operator for the U.S.
Engineers at Nome. Gradually his
strength ebbed and he was no
longer able to handle the huge
machine and he was sent to White
Mountain to the native school.
Poul arrived in Anchorage tired,
hungry and without money or
friends.
Just when things looked black
est one of those strange coinci
dences happened. Paul saw a
friendly face. A face he recognized
from happier days when he was
well in Nome.
The friendly face belonged to
Clinton Gray, They had been
friends in Nome, back in 1941.
They hadn’t seen each other un
til that moment when Paul was
needing a friend.
Gray, a linotype operator at the
News took him to the public health
office, and they placed Paul tem
porarily in Providence hospital.
What looked like a cold bleak
world was a warm friendly one
today.
