All the important things have already

As | think of this little ceremony and
its symbolic meaning to our little com
murity | think of a similar event which
must have taken place in that old seat Of
civilization, Rome, 2,236 years ago, when
Emperor Appius Claudius turned over
tle first SpadefuI of earth which marked
the beginning Of the construction of the
famous aqueduct which bears his name
ID this day. Ii was in the year 3I2 b. G.
tGat he started construction on the first
system. which eventually brought the
first pure water into the cry Of Rome.
from a distance Of eleveR uil2s. In three
hundred years, nine such aqleductS Wele
built with al their appIrtenaEt c~isterns
and baths. Rome was great before this
time, but 1t became even greater after
these systeRIs were constructed And
too, | think Of a similar event watch
must have taken place in taat ether ia
nous city in the old world, Jerusalem,
when it, less fortunate than Rome in be-
ing able to lead water from a pure source
eleven miles away, started to bIjId its
first underground cjstGrn within its "a 4Ils,
to store the rain which fell there. la
later years, this old city built other els
terms outside its walls, and pip.d the
water from them into those WITHIN It's
walls.
As | think of those ancient cities, |
feel more convinced than ever, that our
water problem with all its attendant
economic phases is a very ancient one in
deed The ancients believed that there
were only four elements -four thiags
which composed the entire earth. name
", earth, air, tire and water, and | dare
say that the one most important to them,
as it is to US right here. was water.
Every community that mas ever amount
ed to anything IN times gone by. or at
the present time, has solved its water
probe n in some way. 1t mas made it
possible for its people to get water for
their domestic needs. and by 50 doing it

have, through the initiative of one #
our local citizens, and through the CO.
operation of his fellow citizens and the
local Government, at last made a start
in solving our own problem. 1t is only
a start, but it is a start in the right d.
r%ection. and | for one hope that it will
be productive Of greater results in the
future.
We, like Jerusalem. will attempt To
collect the rain wEice falls and store it
in a reservoir outside the town limits,
ard then condGct il to the other reser-
vuirs scattered throughout town as the
needs demand. The reservoir we intend
to construct en- this site viii be small i'm

but it will be n foundation for q SYSTEM
which can eventually be made to supply

covered reservoir Of about 800. 600 gall
CuS capacity. Such rains as Will cause
the gutter to flow VIII be caught behind
a dam located a little upstream IRON hele
and Will be led into the reservoir. The
smaller rains which are lost on the bill
sides will be collected upon q paved water
shed on yonder slope, aud will be used
to augment the heavier rains. The Wa
ter from the reservoir will then be pjped
into town and for the present INTO 5he
we'll in the Market. AS funds then be-
come available in lat + ears the pipe
II e will be extended and other cisteIrs
can be built in other pats of the town.
When our present plans are compIet-
ed, aud if cur prayers for rain are
answered, we will have stored erOuGh
water to give each person in Christian
sted one hundred gallons.
Having that how then will it help us?
We have cotton along for a hundred

people of Alaska do not stop to req lize that the National committee will never recognize their right to elect committeeman, as the office, an honorary one, is strictly within the control of the National organization. As well might the voters attempt to elect a head to the Methodist church. The whole muddle may be properly olaced as the fault of the primary system, which allows the voters of one party to concentrate against the candidates of another party. Under the old convention plan it would be impossible for such conditions to happen. The Gateway believes the primary will always be failure in Alaska where no penalties are pro- vided for illegal voting, or for voting more than once
 The Territorial legislature which provided for the vote on governor, convention delegates and committee man, probably never investigated their right to name such officials, provided for in the Organic Act, and reserved as a prerogative of Con- gress.
 Without entering into the merits of the case, we believe the National committee should have the naming of it's members. To attempt to thrust a member into the convention whose partisan policies had not been clear ly proved would end in the disrup- tion of the organization.

A DESPERATE REMEDY

Desperate conditions require des' perate remedies. After a three weeks journey to the westward, talk ing over conditions with many fish ermen and residents of the fishing section, The Gateway is of the opin- ion that the greater part of the talk about serious depletion of the fish is largely brought about by a misunder- standing of conditions, and by politi- cal propaganda. Practically every resident who has lived in the Bristol Bay and other sections declare that while fish are scarce one year, they increase in others, and are emphatic in their desire to allow the packing companies longer seasons under less restrictions.
 Their reasons for so declaring are that there are few resources being operated at the present time, and to stop fishing would practically emp ty the districts of both natives and whites, who are dependent upon the caneries for their living. North of the peninsula about half pack was secured in the thirty day period all lowed South of the peninsula the canneries are enjoying the greatest run of pink fish or humpbacks known for years, the waters being literally alive with them.
 The residents of the sections to the westward prefer to take the chance of having the fish supply de- pleted to starvation and an exodus. They believe that if the canneries quit they will have to move.
