visers. The news was almost as well come to them as the glorious news of our recent victories in France, for they realize that we cannot continue to have news of victories abroad if we have men in Congress who are only half-heartedly supporting the Presi- dent, or who are refusing to support him at all.
 Tt is well known that the President very much desired the defeat of Con- gressman Huddleston of the Ninth Ala bama district. He has not supported the President in his war policies, and on inquiry I was surprised to find that he failed to support the estab- lished naval programme. even before the war was declared, and on every oc- casion voted to weaken this great first line of Americas defense.
 AGAINST NAVY PLAN
 1.-TWO years after the outbreak of the European war the President sent word to Congress that he wanted a continu- ous building programme in the navy. Notwithstanding this, MT. Huddleston was one of the 51 members out of 33a who voted against the continuous naval building programme advocated by tho President.
 T have also found that deep resent ment exists among officers in the war department because of Huddleston's s op- position to producing domestic supply

prospect and almost Immediately after
the article appeared semi-oflcal
statement was issued to the effect that
the exaggerated reports going about
regarding the size of the American

RICCSSUBMITS HIS REPORT
 CONGRESS

In Governor Riggs report, trans mitted to congress by Secretary Franklin K. Lane. the subjects of fed eral roads, territorial banks, labor conditions, bureau of publicity. food administration, public land and naval patrol are touched upon. as follows:
 Federal Roads
 The Alaska road commission. con atituted by act of congress approved January 2. 1905. is composed of three officers of the army, who report to the i war department through the office of the chief of engineers.
 The total expended for all construc- tion and maintenance to June 30, 1918, is $4.7SS,576.93 Of this amount, S2,80O, 900, or 59 per cent. was appro- priated at different times by congress and s1.96S, ,57693. or Il per cent, from the Alaska fund. One thousand and six miles of wagon road, 673 miles of sled road and 2.346 miles of trail have been constructed and maintained since 1905. Approximately 300 miles of wagon road has light gravel sur face.
 A total Of $597,020.lS was expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918 Of this amount $274428.45 was for maintenance of existing roads. bridges and trails. and S322, ,591. .73 was charged to construction, most of the expense of construction being for eX- tensiye improvement of present roads and trails During the year the mile age was increased as follows. Twenty six miles of wagon road, 30 miles of winter sled road and D miles of trail In addition to this new work, several new bridges were constructed.
 Approximately 1925 .OOO is available for road work during the present fis cal year 09l9). The crying need of the territory Is for roads it will never reach a high state of develop ment until a system Of good roads covers the entire country. Almost all routes of travel cross long stretches of bOggy country over which it is i'm possible to drag a wagon. In Conse- qucnce. development is along primi. tive lines when once the ablished routes Sf transportation are aban- doned. The scope of work of the Alaska road commissioners cut.d well be doubled or trebled without increas- ing their overhead expenses Appro- priations of $750.O0O or sl.O0O,OOO per annum would be only fair amount with which to continue their excellent and constructive work.
 Territorial Roads
 In addition to roads constructed and maintained by the Alaska road com mission, the territory has appropri- atcd $20O.0oO yearly for roads not otherwise provided for; this amount is equally divided among the four jul
The Cordova daily times., 1918-12-30
Labor Conditions

It is safe to say that every industry in the territory is suffering from shortage of labor. Mines, mills. fish cries, shops and railroads are all work ing shOrt-handed. Peak production everywhere has been rendered impos- sblc. In many instances men have given up good wages with continuous employment. urged to other environ mcnts by the national rcstlessness.
 At Nome most serious strike is in progress The Miners Union struck for an eight-hour day Is pro. yided by territorial law and would accept no compromise. although the law had been found unconstitutional by the judge of the Fourth judicial dist:;.'t An attempted appeal was de nied by Inc attorney general of the United States. Until the validity ot the law is finally settled there will be a recrudescence of labor troubles.
 As provided in the act, under in structions Of the Council of Defense, the eight-hour workings of the law were set aside by proclamation of the governor as applied to fisheries for the period of one year, unless the war sooner terminates.
 Bureau of Publicity
 A territorial bureau of publicity is being conducted for the purpose of disseminating literature concerning the territory and for interesting pros pective investors by furnishing rela- ble special information. A central la bor bureau Is maintained and is do- ing much toward general distribu- ton of labor. Results are com mCncing to be shown.
 Food Administration
 The food administrator, with head quarters at Juneau. reports many i'm portant results accomplished, the most important of which has been the fixing of the price to be paid for sal

NOTICE TO WATER CONSUMERS

This Company has spared neither time nor expense to give Cordova a continuous WATER SUPPLY. To do this the Company must have your cooperation to stop the waste that occurs from letting the water run to avoid freezing the pipes. Where we find this con- dition still to exist we shall SHUT OFF THE WATER for the winter without further notice.

dicial divisions, to be expended under the direction of a road commission elected in each division and an ad- visory body of two assistant road com missioners appointed by the governor.
 About Petroleum
 Petroleum Is now being produced in paying quantities from few shal- low wells near Katalla, with further drilling in progress. There are seep- ages and other oil indications on the KCnai peninsula, the Seward benin sula, the Alaska peninsula, Cook in let, at Yakataga, and persistent ru- mors of oil pools found near the line of the government railroad north of the Alaska range The finding of oil in quantity in any one of these lOcali- ties would be wonderful boon to the country. which is rapidly going on an oil-burning basis as price and supply will permit The petroleum found is of very high grade and has par aiiin base The small plant at katalla produces gasoline and distillatc. the residue being sold for fuel oil. As matters now stand the oil lands of Alaska are entirely tied up in govern ment withdrawals. When legislation now before congress has been enacted an attractive field will be opened up to the proSpector financially able to bear the expense incident to oil ex- ploration.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-12-30
Alaska Game

The game laws are unsuited to the needs of the territory. Congress can not devote the time necessary to the enactment Of laws which will meet the many diversified conditions en- Countered in d country so large az Alaska. Game should be protected by the enforcement of stringent laws. but of laws made by people familiar with game and the country. There should be laws which will conserve game, but which will still allow of its use by n population dependent upon it. The governor recommends that the control of Alaska game be passed to the territorial legislature. At present the force of game wardens is entirely inadequate, particularly when the pop Ilation is hostile to the unjust prOvi- sions Of the laws and regulations,
 Territorial Banks
 At the close of the fiscal year there were sixteen territorial bands and three national banks, the same num- Der as at the close of the previous year. New banks were established at Fairbanks and Cordoya during the year, and there was one failure. a bank in Fairbanks having been closed in August, 1917, by the territorial banking board The Bank of Ruby, after slightly more than years eX- istence, voluntarily liquidatcd its af- fairs
