NEWS OF INTEREST TO EVERY ALASKAN IMPARTED
 BY AGENT.

F. F. W. Lowle, General Agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. for Alaska and the Yukon came in on the Princess Sophia from the south and will remain in Ketchikan until the sailing of the Humboldt northbound. Mir Lowle attended a meeting of the officials of his com pany in Victoria when matters per taining to the Alaska business were discussed and definite plans made for the handling of passengers and freight the coming season.
 Up to April 20 there had been actually booked for the Princess steamers to Alaska for the 1916. season over eleven hundred round trip tourists. This is over two hun dred r,ore than these steamers handled during the whole season of 1915, and which can be accounted for partly by the better knowledge of the Northern trip which the agents of the Canadian Pacific Co., all over the American continent have as a result of meeting of General Agents held in Montreal last No vember when an address on the AL aska trip was delivered giving every detail. On the return of these agents to their various districts AL aska boei-inC1 began to come in with result that the magnificent Steamship Princess Charlotte, 3950 tons, 21 knots speed was put in the Alaska service in addition to the already well known steamers Prin- cess Alice and Princess Sophia.

who one week after the death of Mar
ion Lambert found the bottle of mo-
lasses and water which Will H Orpet
said he threw away when he fled from
Marion's body, took the stand today
in the trial of Orpet charged with the
murder of Miss Lambert.
Attorney David Joslyn of the prose-
cution doubled and twisted seeking to
betray the witness into a damaging
admission. Carlin usually replied with
grin.
when you came upon the bottle
did 1t look the same to you as when
you first saw it ?" asked Joslyn-
Il never saw 1t before in my life"
The witness said he called other
persons who were with him on the
search and drew their attention to
the bottle.
Joslyn asked why.
Because l knew the bottle would
figure in the case and that they would
be called as witnesses.
In response to another query as to
tho reason for his actions, Carlin re-
piled:
II was. working FOR the defense
to clear this boy-to establish his in
nocence."
