The Cordova Chamber of Com
merce, at a meeting held last night,
decided to extend an invitation to the
Booth Fisheries Company to install
a contemplated cold storage here;
will make a vigorous protest to tho
postoffice department against the
present method of handling the mails,
and appointed n committee to receive
and present to the federal commission
upon its return here the data on the
resources of this section of the ter
ritory.
In order to facilitate the handling
of its halibut and other fish, the Booth
Fisheries Company has decided to
erect a cold storage plant in Prince
William sound. The advantages of
this port for such an industry will he
prepared and furnished the company.
As stated in yesterday’s Daily
Times, a federal commission, ap
pointed by Secretary of the Interior
Lane to investigate the mineral and
agricultural resources of Alaska,
spent Sunday in Cordova, when the
members were informally entertained
by the Chamber of Commerce. The
commission Is now on Its way to the
westward, but will return to Cordova
in about three weeks It desires to
secure all the information possible
about our resources and in order to
properly present this data Pr* si<! nt

will also be made to have th. e m
, mission remain here long enm ;h to
take a trip over the Copper Kivt rail
way. ami also visit the Bering fti.er
coal and oil fields
There was a unanimity of o| inion
among th** members of the hamL'r
that the present mail service to
\laska was not only inadequate but
a disgrace to the department, and a
great inconvenience to the public. It
was decided to take? up the
with the postmaster general and point
out the hardship the* present n ethod
of transporting mail is working, with
a view to securing an improvement
in the* system.
DIES
IN PHILADELPHIA
l’HILAl tELl’HIA, Sept 24.—A h'-ro
ol war industry. Thomas Mason, is
dead. Mason was hull superintendent
of the New York Shipbuilding Corpor
ation's plant in Camden, N. J„ and
was regarded as one of the ablest
practical shipbuilders in the country.
His latest achievement was the
launching of the collier Tuckahoe just
twenty-seven days after the keel had
been laid This feat he made light
of, declaring such a record was ea iv
beaten.
On the occasion of the launching
Charles M Schwab, director-general
of war-time shipbuilding, presented
Mason with a fine watch at the same
time making a speech filled with af
fection for the little, spare English
man who could do almost miraculous
things with ship workers.
In accepting the present, Mason,
i drppping his h's and using homely
phrases, delivered what Mr Schwab
afterward declared was one of the
best speeches he had ever listened
to. Mason told what should be done
to the German Emperor and his crew
and how he intended to play his part
in the good work.
Speaking of Mason’s death, Mr.
Schwab Bald: "1 feel not only a
sense of personal loss in the death
iif Tommy Mason, but l feel also that
the shipbuilding Industry has sus
tained the loss of a very valuable
man. Tommy was a ploneor In the
speedy construction of ships. When
he built the Tuckahoe he set the pace
for the rest of the rountry to follow,
and In doing so ho rendered a service
that cannot be overestimated, and he
earned the gratitude of all American
citizens who understand the Import
ance of shipbuilding as a means of
hastening the end of the war "
M A Neoland, president of tho New
York .Shipbuilding Corporation, said
of Mason
"Ho especially felt the responslbil
i ity thrust upon shipbuilders by this
i war, and In his efforts to make his de
partment produce the maximuh for his
country he probably exceeded the lim
its of his health and strength, which
Illustrates the sacrifices men are
making in civil and industrial life for
the cause."
LUND IS GIVEN
IN IRELAND ID
SOLDIER ROES
DUBLIN. Sept. 24.— The Irish gov
ernment bill to provide land for sol
diers and sailors follows the lines ex
ported by those familiar with the
working of the Irish land code. The
Fnglish journals which treated Lord
French 's proclamation as if it meant
that every soldier was to get a farm
were not aware of the fact that land
is being constantly distributed at pres
[ ent among poor and deserving ten
| ants and their sons with a view to
relieving congestion and increasing
the size of farms
The policy of favoring soldier ap
plicants for such grants was warmly
advocated by John Redmond, but
technical difficulties stood in tin* way
and tin- legislation now introdm »*d r«
I moves them. It provides that Irish
ment who have served in tie- present
.\ar shall be regarded as qualified t"
pun base land from the congested dis
Diets hoard or the land commission
in tie* >amc way as tenants or pro
prietors of small holdings are now
qualified.
