NEW WESTMINSTER,
B.C. (CP) — Radio station
CKNW broadcast reports
Monday that a Sasquatch
sighted 10 days ago near
Erroch Lake in the Fraser
Valley was a hoax per-
petrated by three persons
but veteran Sasquatch

hunter Rene Dahinden
wants proof.

The radio station said
three persons faked large

NEW DOCK FOR RUPERT

A roll-on roll-off dock will
be built at the port of Prince
Rupert, Iona Campagnolo,
M.P. for Skeena announced
Saturday on behalf’ of
Transport Minister Otto
Lang. Tenders for con-
struction of the dock are
expected ta be called by the
end of the month.

As apart of the Fairview
Terminal Project, the dock
will handle tug, barge, and
ferry traffic between Prince
Rupert and other coastal
communities as well as
international roll-on, roll-off
vessels, all owing for 26 foot
variations in the tide level.

“A construction of the

dock is part of the continued
growth and development of
the port as a focal point for
tug and barge traffic for
Northwestern B.C.,’’ Mrs.
Campagnolo said. ‘‘In-
tegrated with the Fairview
Terminal the new dock will
further modernize cargo
handling facilities in the
area to more effectively
handie imports and exports
moving through the port,”
she said.

When it is completed in
1978, the dock will be able to
handle large vehicles and an
estimated, 78,000 tons of

revenue earning general
cargo annually.

PC FINANCING
INQUIRY SUBJECT

FREDERICTON (CP)
— A judicial inquiry opens
Wednesday into Liberal
allegations that the New
Brunswick justice de-
partment interfered with or
attempted to interfere with
a criminal investigation by
the RCMP into the financing
of the Progressive. Con-
servative party.

The inquiry, to be con-
ducted by Chief Justice
Charles Hughes of the New
Brunswick Supreme Court
follows allegations March 3
by Opposition leader Robert
Higgins that the justice
department attempted to th-
wart in 1973 an RCMP in-
vestigation into what he said
was a system of kickbacks
to the provincial Con-
servatives.

The alleged interference
was denied by the RCMP
and the justice department
almost immediately and
later by former justice
minister John Baxter, now a
government backbencher.

Baxter was justice
minister in 1973,

ACCORDING TO STUDY
Railway rates will

increase more rapidly

OTTAWA (CP) —
Passenger fares and freight
rates will increase much
more rapidly than in the
past as the transport in-
dustry faces difficult and
expensive years, Says a
Canadian transport com-
mission study.

The commission says in a
report just released that, at
best, ‘fares and freight
rates can be expected to rise
at rates comparable to the
increase in the consumer
price index.” - ,

“At worst, ‘the price of
transport could increase
considerably faster than the
over-all cost of living.”

The report said passenger
fares and freight rates rose
more slowly than the over-
all cost of living. The
average revenue per
passenger per mile
travelled remained constant
in the aviation industry in
the 1960s. Rail fares on most
routes in 1970 were
significantly below 1960

With rail freight, average

But in the 1973-75 pericd,

‘rail fares rose 36 per cent
