RESOLUTION ASKS
.CO-OPE GRAFTON OF
WATER CHIEFS

! The following resolution was
passed by Imperial Water Company
! No. / in annual session yesterday,
/ and similar action was expected from
! No. 5 and No. II, also III annual ses-
sion:
"Resolved, That the superintendent
of Imperial Water Co. No. l coop
crate with the superintendent of No.
and No. II and other superinten-
dents of other water companies, who
may be instructed to cooperate, to
work out plan, in connection with
the Board of Directors of the I'M
perial Irrigation District, whereby
water users can receive the maximum
amount of relief in ordering water
on and off of lands, with continuous
service in this office and the Irri
cation District office, for this pur-
pose"
This means 24-hours-a-day seven
days-in- -the-week service, and the
abandonment Of the present plan of
getting your order in before A o'clock,
with all it's attendant burdens to the
water users. The directors compos-
ing the District Board may find
this plan embarrassing, but the pres
ent "banking hours plan" embarrasses
the farmers to such an extent that
we rather hope it will, as a matter
of equity.
To illustrate the situation now in
practice: Say a water user comes
into a mutual water company's of
lice just after D. m. Saturday and
rders his water off, and gets this
reply:
"Can't do anything for you-too
late-after A."
"Well, when can / get it cut
off,"
sues .ay mornin"."
These arc. the rules sought to be
lmcnded.

Seed Shipment
Is Delayed

Due to some slip-up, n.os1 probab-
ly in the Department of Aericulsrre
at Washington, The Press has 10.
yet received its scheduled packets o.
government seed to which reference
was made in an article a few days
ago.
As there will be several hundred
individual packages of tested seed in
the consignment, sent by Congress-
man William D. Kettner, there will
be q sufficiently large supply for
N who desire them. However. we
would suggest that those desiring
seeds call at or write this office,
giving their name and address, and
the packages will be mailed to them
4 few days after they are received.
Many requests have already been
filed by The Press and will be com
'plied with Just as soon as Uncle

BUSINESS or TERRITORY ON
 HEALTHY BASE

The report of the collector of GUS toms for the Alaska district for tho year 1918 has just been issued. lt gives in detail imports and export from the various ports, and while showing a decrease in business com. pared with previous years, reveals q healthy condition of business gener- ally. The collector says in part
 "In presenting this report attention is called to the disturbed condition os the whole country, due to the conflic! of nations. which retard the forward stride of the territory of Alaska dur, ing that period. This was to be ex- pected, as the winning or the war de- manded the direction of all forces, in their various clements. to the great est endeavor for that purpose.
 Being without munitions manufac- lures or shipping, our man-power, other than that inducted into the mil tary service, was attraeted by these industries elsewhere. thus materially reducing the production of precious and other metals. Owing to the em- ployment of women and children and a great number of natives, the fiSher~ ies did not suffer so much from thi' cause, for by the utilization of evecy means at hand with increased speed the industry was not only maintained but the output augmented.
 "The territory is wholly dependent upon water transportation for the car rying of it's trade, and on account of " considerable portion of the usual ship, ping being diverted to other channels it became necessary to equalize pro- duction with marketing facilities.
 "As the result of these and other causes the commerce of the territory decreased to the extent of fourteen million dollars.
 "With the return of normal condi tions during the ensuing year it is pre- dicted that the development of AlaSSa will be renewed with vigor, the eN- ploitation of natural resources pro ceed more rapidly, and it's business b" greatly enhanced.
 "while this year there has been Q gain in fish products of over five mil. lion dollars, and in furs of about two millions. making a net loss of eighi million dollars in value.
 "The insistent demand for foo7 stimulated the fishing industry. Tn" most notable gain is in the pickled class, consisting largely of salt her ring. An increase will also be ob- served in 'all other salmon which covers the dried, smoked, mild-cured and salt product.
 Several causes have operated to- Waru IIle CuIldliiiitNI VI IiAC VuNpuN VT metals, principally shortage of labor high prices of supplies and materia's and lack of transportation. Many placer mines of the Yukon basin and Seward peninsula closed down rathe! than operate at small margin of profit or probable loss. Most of the coppe' mines, were in operation, but not UT to ca~acity, on account of the labor situation. The same condition extend cd to the gold lode mines"
 The report shows a grand total of imports and exports for the year ot s127,o49 1S2, compared with s141, ,125,. 462 in 1917.
