were
entertained
that
rnnce
ku-
pert,
the
terminus,
would
become
.a'
port
of
some
importance,
says
an
editorial
in
the
Winnipeg'
Tribune.
It
was
the
closest
large
harbor
to
Alaska
and'it
was
thought
by
many
that
much
of
the
traffic
to
the
north
would
go
via
the.
new
port.
These
hopts,
however,
were
soon
dashed
for
Seattle,
500
milejs
to
the
south,
had
captured
the
northern
trade
andjretained
it.
Prince
Rupert,
after
a
short
boom,
settled
back
into
three
decades
of
somnolence.
Now,
it
would
seern,
Prince
Rupert's
great
chance
has
arrived
as
a
direct
result
of
the
maritime
strike
at
Seattle
in
1046
which
cut
Alaska
off
froih
shipping
connections
for
127
days
and
caused
har(lship,ancl
great
loss
to
the
northerners.
According
to
Business
Week
Alaskans
are
now
eonyinced
that
it
is
folly
to
depend
on
one
transportation
link
and
they
are
seeking
trade
connec-tion'tf
with
Canada
and,
via
Canada,
with
the
American
mid-west.
This
publication
says
that
Prince
Rupert
has
been'
choseW
as'
one
new
transhipment
point
for
Alaska-bound
goods.
The
proposal
is
to
ship!
foodj
merchandise
and
machinery
by
Canadian
National
Railways
to
that
port
and
there
transfer
them
to
small
ships
anU
barges.
These
therf
can
move
up
the
sheltered
passages
of
the
Alaskan
panhandle
to
Skagway
and
Haines
or
throughout
th6
entire
Gulf
of
Alaska
area,
even
to
the
Bering
Sea.'
Alaskans
have'
another
grievance
against
Seattle,
says
Business
Week.
They
claim
that
for
yeaijs
jobbers
of
that
city
have
collected
as
much
as
311
to
40
percent
on
merchandise
moving
to
Alaska
which
.the
jobbers
never
saw..
It

jobbers
had

and
whiskey
into
the
"vital

the
government

arranged
to'

FOr
theM
reasons
it
appears
probable
that
Prince
Rupert
arid
the
Canadian
National
Railways
are
going't6
profit
at
the
expense
of
Seattle.
Normally
millions
of
dollars
of
goods
flow
annually
to
and
from
Alaska
from
the'
latter
port.

THE
road
will
have
its
face
lifted!
Remarkable
improvement
in
its
durability,
ami
surfaee
smoothness
have
been
foun4
possible
through
controlling
the
composition
of
the
raw
material.
At
the
request
of
the
B.C.
Department
of
Public
Wirks,
P.
M.!Cook
of
the
Engineering
Division
of
the
British
Columbia
Research
Council
has
been
studying.,
the
structure
of
grave)
roads
and
developing
gravel
testing
procedures.
Samples
of
gravel
from
all
over
the
province
are
being
examined
and
necessary
changes
in
composition
worked
out.
The
addition
of
carefully
controlled
quantities
of
various'
binding
material
such
as
cliys
are1
usually
required
to
make
a
firm,
coherent
road
surface.
The
road
builder
can
be
provided
with
complete
information
on
how
the
best
re-suits-
Jean
be
achieved;
In
his
partldular
location.
Although
the
expenditures
on
road
paving
and
construction
a're
to
be
much
greater
than
in
pre-war
years,
the
gravel
road
will
still
remain
pre-efjiinent
In
areas
where
there
is
little
traffic.
The

Research
Committee,
it
was
reported
by
Dr,
G.
M.
B.
Dobson,
committee
chairman.
However,
much
useful
knowl
edge"
was
gained,
he
.said.
If
was
learned
that
the
frequency
of
fogs
was
not
increased
by
the
presence
of
smoke,
although
smote
made
them
denser.
There
were1
three
requirements
for
the
presence
of
fog:
nuclei
oh
which
wafer
vapor
might
condense;
stagnant
atmosphere.
and
the
cooling
of
air
near
the
ground.
The
two
latter
conditions
arose
most
frequently
when
there
was
ah
anti-cyclone
or
area
of
high
pressure.
Weather
experts
had
found
that
from

E.
L.
Hawke,
secretary
of
the

Society',
said
that
since
the.
beginning-
of
the
century
there
had
been
a
marked
decrease
In
the
number"
of
fogs
in
Britain.
He
said
he
believed
this
was
due
to
an
increase'
in
the
nunVb2rof
built-up
areas
which
lessened
the
quantity
of
moisture
rising
from
the
ground.

That
Is
the

he
reached
in
his

reoort.
Just
Issuedand
so
little
repair
work
and
refitting
has;
been
done
since
then
that
the
finding
still
must
apply.
Chasteney
reported
a
substantial
drop
in
both
fatal

factory
deaths
during
1945
were
only
a
little
more
than
half
the

1941.
Injuries
at
239,802
were
well
below
the
peak
of
313,
267
reached
In
1942.
The
chief
inspector
said
the
dirtiness
and
shabtoineM
bt
many
factories-
was
revealed
"only
when
the"
blackout
was
removed."
One
firm
st6pped
production
for
10
days
and
put
all
its
workers
on
cleaning
