PIONEER SHIP
 BUILDER DIES
 IN PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, Sept PA hero ot war industry, Thomas Mason is dead. Mason was hull superintendent of the New York Shipbuilding Corpor- ations 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 record was easily beaten.
 On the occasion of the launching Charles M SChwab. direCtor-general of wartime shipbuilding, presented Mason with a fine watch at the same time making speech filled with af- lection for the little spare English man who could do almost miraculous things with ship workers.
 In accepting the present, Mason, drpppng his hs and using homcly phrases, delivered what Mir. 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, Mir. Schwab said: 'I feel not only a sense of personal loss in the death
The Cordova daily times., 1918-09-24

of Tommy Mason, but l feel also that the shipbuilding industry has sus- tained the loss of very valuable man. Tommy was a pioneer in the speedy construction of ships When he built the Tuckahoe he set the pace for the rest of the country to follow. and in doing so he rendered d service that cannot be overestimated, and he earned the gratitude of all American citizens who understand the import. ance of shipbuildng as a means of hastening the end of the war"
 M. A. Neeland. president of the New York Shipbuilding Corporation. said of Mason:
 He especially felt the responsibil- ity thrust upon shipbuilders by this war. and In his efforts to make his de. partment produce the maximum for his country he probably exceeded the linn. It's of his health and strength, which illustrates the sacrifices men are making in civil and industrial life for the cause"

CHAMBER ACTIVE IN BOOSTING
 FUR CORD0YA

The Cordova Chamber of Com merce. at meeting held last night, decided to extend an invitation to the Booth Fisheries Company to install contemplated cold storage here; will make vigorous protest to the postoffce department against the present method of handling the malls. and appointed a committee to receive and present to the federal commission upon it's return here the data on the resources of this section of the ter ritory.
 In order to facilitate the handling of it's halibut and other fish. the Booth Fisheries Company has decided to erect cold storage plant in Prince William sound. The advantages of this port for such an industry will be prepared and furnished the company.
 As stated in yesterdays Daily Times, 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 It's way to the westward. but will return to Cordova in about three weeks It desires 10 secure all the information possible about our resources and in order to properly present this data President !!a2e!et delegated the work to com mttee composed of NJ Brock, A. E. Lathrop. w. R. lIillery. J. l.. Galen and H. C. Steel. Samples of ore from the different producing mines will be secured. including copper, coal. gold and oil. as well as all available in formation appertaining thereto, and maps showing topography of the coln- try. The tonnage from CordOIa and the output of the different fishing in Gustrics will be included in the data furnished the commission. An effort will also be made to have the com mission remain here long enough to take d trip over the Copper River rail- way, and also visit the Boring River coal and oil fields
 There was d unanimity of opinion among the members of the chamber that the present mail service to Alaska was not only inadequate. but a disgrace to the department. and great inconvenience to the public. It Was decided to take up the hnrttsr with the postmaster general and point out the hardship the present method of transporting mail Is working, with In the system.

LAND |S GIVEN IN IRELAND ID
 SOLDIER BOYS

DUBLIN. Sept. 24-The Irish gov. ernment bill to provide land for sol diers and sailors follows the lines ex- pected by those familiar with the working of the Irish land code. The English journals which treated Lord FrenCh's proclamation as if il meant that every soldier was to get a farm were not aware of the fact tha: land is being constantly distributed at pres ent among poor and deserving ten ants and their sons with d 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 the way and the legislation now introduced re. moves them. IL provides that Irish rlent who have served in the present Mar shall be regarded as qualified tO purchase land from the congest"d dis tricts board or the land commission
 in the same way as tenants or pro. prietors of small holdings are now qualified

TRACTOR SOLVING PROBLEM

The American farmer is carving
on, though his sons and his horses
have gone to war by regiments and by
droves.
He has got to produce bigger crops
over wider areas. this season than ever
before, if the world is not to starve.
Without his horses and his sons, and
with farm hands as scarce as ukeleles
at symphony concert. the American
farmer is out to win, and he's winning.
One hundred thousand tractors are
chua a-chugging away in the fields,
early and late, doing the work of at
least 10000 farm hands and 800 900
horses.
The farmer has pinned his faith to
the tractor, and if he can win over the
. submarine with it this year, neither
the l. W. w. nor the Malthusiam law
ever again can worry the food pro-
ducer. The tractor is solving the
American food production problem,
back-to-the-land problem, and many
other things that used to give the good
American gray hairs.
Last summer not more than 10000
tractors were in use on American
farms and the gasoline plow- horse
was looked upon as an experiment
Now twelve factories are running
night and day to supply the demand
for tractors, ard the railroad admin
istration is rushing thousands of trac-
tors to the fields. More than 200, 900
Of these gasoline laborers will be in
use by the end of this year, officials
of the department Of agriculture esti-
mate.
The department of agriculture,
through its local agents, has carried
on campaign of education in the
nse of tractors throughout the coun-
try. Colleges of Agriculture in Ohio
and Minnesota put on special course
for farmers who wished to learn how
to use tractors to the best advantage.
Many neighborhood associations of
farmers have been formed to buy trac
tors, 80 that the machines never will
be idle. AS soon as one farmer has
finished a certain job, he delivers the
tractor to his neighbor, who drives
straight through with his job so that
another neighbor may have the use of
the machine.
