Not only will rail-barge service be inau- gurated this month between Prince Rupert and Saxman, near Ketchikan, Alaska, but wholesale “truck” shipments will probably ‘start some time early this year via the new While it will be six weeks be- fore handling costs can be deter- mined, pending a decision on rates by the Interstate Commerce Commission, southeastern Alaska truckers and local handlers as well as managers of local whole- sale houses, are confident food- stuffs will be rolling over the new route before long. Whereas initially the goods would be distributed to Ketchi- kan buyers, there’s a good. chance of extending sales to Petersburg and Juneau. Ketchikan customers would get the products cheaper, and in Alaska Marine Highway ferries. six-hour ferry runs from Prince Rupert, than via the present twice-weekly service from Seat- tle. From the wholesalers’ angle it would mean less shrinkage on certain items — a considerable element in the long haul between Seattle and Alaska. It opens up tremendous pos- sibilities for Prince Rupert bakers, for farmers in Terrace, and cattle raisers in the Bulk- ley Valley. A whole new market has been brought closer to some instances fresher, by the several shipments of bread to Ketchikan privately. and has got “very favorable reaction” to its one and a half pound loaves of white bread which sell there for 39 cents instead of 45 cents reg- ularly paid by Ketchikan house- wives.

For instance, northern B.C.-produced would require government in- spection, a service not now avail- able. But wholesalers are delving deeply into the plan for shipping via refrigerated or non-refriger- ated trailer units, tractorized for easy loading and untoading via the ferries Malaspina, Taku and Matanuska., Burns, W.

' Burns would ship fresh meats, eges and butter principally, With ay import duly of three cents a pound on beef and veal and from one and a quarter to one and oa half cents a pound on pork, meats sold in’ Ketchikan from here would probably carry price tags comparable with those from Seattle, But the Canadian product would be fresh, not fro- zen, and would arrive oftener.

Even so, butter would sell cheaper in Ketchikan than it does now. “Only customs and trucking requirements are standing in the way.” says W. G. McGruther, Burns manager.
