The Carlisle Packing Company's
new flagship tender, the Cordova, was
baptised with a bottle of "grape" by
a little daughter of the superintendent
of this new plant. The Seattle Times
of March 25 contains the following In
teresting account of the event, to
gether with the future plans of this
new company, which will be of local
interest:
With a bottle of champagne smashed
over her bows by the tiny hand of
i six year old Irene Hawklnson. the Car
I lisle Packing Company’s new $12,000
i cannery tender Cordova was launched
! from the John Wilson yards, East
Waterway, at 7 o'clock this morning
In the presence of the officials of the
company, their wives and friends. As
the boat began to slide down the ways
little Irene broke the bottle against
the stem with a sturdy blow and pro
nounced the words that gave the ves
sel a name.
The child Is the daughter of Mr. and
' Mrs. Nels Haw'kinson. The father is
manager of the new cannery plant
which the Carlisle company is build
ing at the mouth of the Copper river.
He is now in the north, but Irene had
her mother as an escort. Irene is said
to be the youngest girl that has ever
christened a commercial vessel in Se
attle. She was prettily dressed for
the occasion, and carried a big bou
quet of flowers. Throughout the cere
mony she played her part to perfec
tion.
Among those present at the launch
ing were Frank Wright, president of
the Carlisle company, and Mrs. Wright
and .1. (!. Brown, of the Company’s Se
attle office staff, and Mrs. Brown. In
the absence of John Wilson, owner of
the Wilson yards, Foreman C. NT. Sea
born had charge of the launching.
The Carlisle Packing Company here
tofore has confined its operations to
Puget Sound, but from now on will
have a four line plant at the mouth
of the Copper river, Alaska. Work
on the plant is nearing completion. It
will be ready for operation in good
time for the beginning of the Alaska
salmon season. The plant throughout
represents the latest ideas and im
provements in salmon canneries and
will prove a valuable acquisition to the
northern industry.
Of the tunnel stern type, the tender
Cordova has been built especially for
operation In the shallow waters at the
mouth of the Copper river. Her pro
pellors are located In tunnels in the
> bottom of the boat so that they cannot
be damaged by snags or other ob
stacles to navigation. The vessel is
seventy-three feet long, eighteen foot
beam and three feet one inch draft.
The shallow draft will allow her to
operate with ease In the Copper river
delta. She is equipped with two 40
horse-power Atlas engines, which will
give her a speed of ten knots. She
is to be ready to depart for Alaska
at the end of next week. The tender
was designed by L. H. Coolldge, naval
architect.
Captain J. J. Murray, who has had
command of Wright's yacht Olympic,
has been appointed master of the Cor
dova. Me is well known in Seattle
yachting circles as a skillful naviga
tor. Comfortable and commodious
quarters have been provided in the
cannery tender for both master and
crew.

FEEL SECURE
f’lNSK. Russia, April 6. — The 30
odd kilometres of the arc around
Pinsk have been fortified since the
German army took its position here
last September, as probably no other
section of any front, east, west, or
southeast. The pripet swamp, which
on account of the mild winter, has
formed a natural barrier between the
German and Russian lines, has check
ed both the German advance and the
Russian counter attacks. But the
Germans have realized that a single
cold snap might make the swamps
passable, and to forestall such a thing
they have resorted to every known
expedient to make every foot of their
positions impregnable.
GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS THE
EXTENSION OF LAWS.
Governor J. F. A. Strong has recom
mended to the secretary of agricul
ture that special regulations Nos. 1
and 2, of the Alaska game laws, be
extended for at least another year.
These regulations make it unlawful

and also to kill mountain sheep in
