The recent order from the Guar termaster Generals office in Wash ington, D C., granting permission for the Alaska Defense Command to purchase canned salmon direct from local canners for army use, thus avoiding the use of valuable cargo space for shipping that portion of the pack to the States and then back for Alaska consumption. came too late to be of much help this fall, according to report received by The Empire today from Fort Rich- ardson.

 This salmon consisted of 63 cases of reds and 62 cases of medium reds, all purchased from the Emard Packing Company of Anchorage,
