“It is as cheap,if not cheaper, to
ship east from Prince Rupert,
rather than from Seattle.”
The week-long hearing, over
last summer’s 35 per cent interim
rate increases, was expected to
end yesterday.
Another witness late Monday
accused steamship lines to the
Territory of “wasteful competi
tion.” The witness for the Terri
tory, Donald J. O’Connor, Wash
ington, D. C., economist, accused
the lines of making extra voyages
when the same amount of cargo
could be carried on fewer trips.
He said that in some cases ves
sels sailing between Seattle and
Alaska were loaded to only 17 per
cent of capacity and “lower rates
would make such a practice pro
hibitive.”
Arnold responded that “reduced
frequency of service wouldn’t af
fect the salmon industry. The life
blood of Alaska depends on sched
uled service. Tramps service
would drive Alaska into bankrupt
cy.”
Discussing the trend toward
Prince Rupert shipping by the in
dustry, Arnold said:
“The industry’s cannery tenders
are good towboats. With war sur
plus barges being sold for a frac
tion of their original cost, canners
are using them to tow an increas
ing amount of canned salmon to
Prince Rupert for trans-shipment,
thus avoiding paying freight I
charges of Alaskan ships.”
Arnold challenged earlier testi
mony that the canning industry |
was in a favored rate position on j
the Alaska shipping routes.
He said northbound salmon in
dustry freight rates were increased
from 35 to 50 per cent last spring,!
end southbound rates were in
creased in excess of 50 per cent, j
He said they now are 65 to 70 per
cent above the pre-war rates.

Navy Landed Many
Tons Of Supplies
Beyond Barrow
SEATTLE, (A3)—'The delivery of
tons of supplies last summer to an
Arctic island 300 miles east of
Point Barrow, Alaska, was dis
closed by the navy last night.
In an official account of the an
nual supply expedition to Point
Barrow, the continent’s most
| northern settlement, the navy said
the supplies were taken by a navy
icebreaker and LST through the
ice floes to Barter Island.
Barter Island, a winter meeting
place for Eskimo traders for gen
erations, is less thsfn 100 miles
from Demarcation Point, eastern
boundary of Arctic Alaska.
Except for reference to the ex
pedition, the navy gave no details.
The account said the icebreaker
USS Burton Island and the LST
| 642 left here last July 25, passed
through Bering Strait and into the
Arctic. It also described the move
i ment by other ships from here,
San Francisco and Port Bueneme,
j Calif., of a total cargo of 20,000
| tons to Barrow and other north
1 ern Alaska points.
uescriDing tne wont oi tne t?ur
j ton Island and the UST 642. the
j navy said they had to “buck ice”
most of the way to Barter Island
from Point Barrow, at times mak
ing “only three or four knots.”
“Ice at the final destination
caused considerable trouble. The
LST was finally beached Erf ter as
sistance from an underwater de
molition team, and from small
boats and bulldozers on shore.”
The entire expedition also car
ried supplies for the army, coast
and geodetic survey, and the navy j
petroleum reserve at Point Bar- j
row, and the bureau of Indian Af
fairs. Crews working around the
clock because of the threat of the
Arctic ice pack moving in unload
ed four attack cargo ships at Point
Barrow in six days. They were the
Seminole, Union, Muliphen and
Diphda.
Capt. B. S. Anderson, U.S.N.,
commander transport division 12,
was in command of the expedition.

How To Pul Out
A Fire
When a fire is small it can be
put out easily. You can stamp it
out with your foot, smother it
with a rug or douse it with a pail
of water. One of the commonest
kinds of fire in the home—food or
grease burning on the stave—can i
be best put out by placing a metal
cover on the pan or vessel con
taining the burning food. (Don’t
try to put out such a fire with wa
ter! It will cause the burning
grease to spatter violently. > Such
action at the start of the fire may
be more effective than the work
of the entire fire department five
minutes later.
It is desirable for every home to j
have at least one dependable fire
extinguisher. The familiar water
pail is probably the oldest type of
“fire extinguisher.’’ Water pails j
are handy for so many uses and
so often used for other things, j
even when set aside for fire use.;
that “extinguishers’’ were invent- j
ed which, not being useful for
anything else, are more likely to '
be availble when wanted for the
emergency of a fire.
Always seek the advice of your
fire chief before purchasing fire
extinguishers. These devices are
not uniform in effectiveness. Some
