YENNEY SEEKS NAMES
FOR UNMARKED GRAVES
Among those citizens who ren
der a service to their community
without compensation is C. F.
Yenney, who for the past two
years has voluntarily worked to
improve the appearance of our
cemetery.
As a special project he has un
dertaken to find who is buried
in the many graves whose mark
e r s no longer exist or whose
markers have the names oblitera
ted.
He noted on Memorial Day of
last year that several of the
graves without markers received j
floral offerings, indicating that j
someone knew who was buried j
in these plots. He has requested
that anyone knowing the name err
names of those in unmarked
graves advise him and without
cost to them he will make a per
manent aluminum marker that
will last indefinitely.

The Lomen Commercial Company
wishes to correct the erroneous impression
held by several of its customers and shippers
that its lighterage rates are based on a fixed
percentage of the steamer rates from Seattle
to the Nome Roadstead.
Present rates became effective June 5, 1948, and
are enumerated in our Tariff No. 18 which is
filed with, and has been approved by, the U.S.
Maritime Commission. Except for a few reduc
tions, these rates have remained unchanged.
i
This tariff bears no percentage relation to pres
ent or future steamship rates, and no increases
in lighterage rates are contemplated for 1952.
