Alaska SS. Offers
Reduced Rales
SEATTLE, (/P) — Reduced rates
from Seattle and Tacoma to Fair
banks and Interior Alaska points;
via Valdez, were announced Mon
day by Richardson Highway
truckers.
A! the same time, Alaska Steam
ship company published a new
freight tariff, effective April 5,
naming proportional rates on
weight basis between Seattle, Ta
coma and Valdez.
This will enable established mo
tor carriers on routes out of Val
dez to offer improved truck serv
ice to highway points at lower
rates than before, R. D. Kelsey,
manager of the Valdez Dock com
pany said.
The Valdez Dock company also
has revised its terminal charges
at Valdez on the weight basis to
conform with steamship and truck
rates, he reported.
“It is anticipated that as a direct
result of the new arraigements
there will be a considerable in
crease in traffic over the highway
during the open season,” he con
cluded, “and the volume will jus
tify maintenance of the highways
and keep them open the year
around.”
Mrs. T. A. Feierson and Adelle
Volmers, two of» the partners of
the Teller Commercial Co., passed
through Nome yesterday enroute
to California on a combined busi
ness and pleasure trip.
The Teller Commercial Co., has
the unique distinction of being
owned and operated by four part
ners, all women, which is unusual
in the far north. These women
have successfully handled the post
for many years proving pioneer
women have the same fortitude
and ability as the male of the spe
l cies. Mrs. Ethel Marx and Mrs.
Barney Vogen, the other two part
ners, are managing the store this
winter.

Rep. Jackson Says
Alaska. Freight
Rates Too High
(Continued from Page Three*
is ample room for reduction in
rates.”
Freight and passenger rates
should be considered separately,
he said, contending one reason for
high freight rates is that “part of
the passenger cost is being subsi
dized by the people who pay the
freight rates.”
Opposing proposals to permit
Canadian vessels to operate in
Alaska, Jackson said such action
“would mean an end to American
flag operations to Alaska.”
Jackson said that if the present
interim law is extended it should
be amended to provide for more
competition and that all compan
' ies desiring to do so should be ai
! lowed to bid to furnish the service.
