Connor has commended himself to Seattle as a hard, industrious and intelligent worker for the government’s interests. Intelligence and industry is a combination that produces results. The government has been fortunate, indeed, to have had Connor’s active and constant co-operation. Just because they were compelled to change the name of the recently-launched ship Tacoma, in view of the fact that they already had a ship called Tacoma, is no justification for the naval authorities to tack an appendage like Chebaulip on the inoffensive vessel.
