EARLYMORNING
FIRE DESTROYS
WEB BUILDING
At 3:30 o'clock this morning the
fire siren and bell shrieked out an
alarm, which resulted in a prompt re
sponse by the local department to a
call for duty from the ocean dock.
The web house of the Carlisle Pack
ing Company was in flames and be
fore it could be extinguished the
building and its contents were de
stroyed. The loss is approximated at
$30,000.
The night watchman discovered the
fire in making his rounds and he im
mediately sent in an alarm. The de
partment was soon on the scene with
their apparatus, but as there is no
city water on the dock, the pressure
was not great enough to permit of the
saving of the building. This was a
two-story structure, 40 x 60 feet, and
contained the nets used by the fisher
men, which were also destroyed. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
It is the intention of the company
to immediately rebuilt the web house
and the lost nets will be replaced be
fore the fishing season startB.

HURRY-UP CALL j
SENT OUT FOR I
VICTORY LOAN |
Dr. W. H. Chase, chairman of the •
local Victory Liberty loan committee, •
today received the following cable- •
gram from the traesury department j
at Washington and every effort will J
now be made to have Cordova reach S
its quota of $90,000: 5
“From the reports we receive here •
it is evident that the success or fail- •
ure of the Victory Liberty loan cam- {
paign from the standpoint of distribu- •
tion now depends on the ability of the *
organizations to reach the individual •
by means of personal soliciting, em- •
phasizing to him his responsibility for J
helping to pay for the expenditures •
which contributed so materially to an J
early ending of the war. Public dein- •
oilhtration and entertainment may •
help to create an atmosphere, but will i
not be reflected in sales without the •
strongest kind of individual salesman- *
ship. You should, therefore, enlist for J
next week enthusiasm in your organi- •
zation of every possible solicitor and *
make sure that your entire district is •
thoroughly canvassed in order that J
every possible buyer may be enrolled. J
This is the final test and perhaps the •
hardest test of the great organization ;
which we have created. Let us not •
fail.” ;
