Storage Reservoirs the Only Remedy in
Sight.
(From the Phoenix Eepubliean.J
The distress amODtf the Pima Indian
on the Sacation reservation is increas
ing steadily ad result ot the protract
ed drouth. A Republican represent-'
tive recently returned from the res
ervation and states that the Pima
have never been in such dire trouble.
As stated heretofore the whites hav
diverted the waters of the Gila river
above the reservation and as a result
the Indians have no water for their
crops. They will have less than oB
fifth of a erop of grain and their cattle
are dying in large numbers. As Jt
there is noserious danger of an imme
diate famine, as Irresponsible press re
ports have stated, but if the scarcity
of moisture continues, such condition
is to be apprehended. Many of the In
dians are iu eood circumstances, are
able to stand a dry season -and are
willing to share their resources with
their neighbors as long as the supply
holds out.
The danger, however, from a pro
longed drouth is easily apparent; so
many irrigating ditches above the res
ervation have been built that only
heavy and long rain will suffice to give
the Indians any water, and it is a plain
certainly that water storage will be
the only permanent remedy, j Major
McCowan has sent recommendations
to Washington that a reservoir be
built there, that can give a perpetual.
supply of water to 75,000 acres, and in
the meantime the destitute Indians
may be employed in the building of
the big dam. The proposed reservoir
the San Carlos reservation, la an
other very feasible scheme, and accord
ing to government engineers would be
sufficient for the purpose, at a less cost
than the Kutte reservoir. Although
the Papagoes are dependent largely
pon the Pima crops for their liveli
hood, no danger of serious famine for
the present is anticipated from this
somewhat savage tribe. In fact, tne
inability to secure work harvesting for
the Pimas has set them in new lines of
effort, and they are hauling wood and
endeavoring in other heretofore un
tried ways to make a living. ,
Major McCowan hopes to soon be
able to start the use of $33,000 appro
priation, for the Indians, Out believes
that the department of the interior
ill appreciate that this amount is
only a drop in the bucket, and take
steps toward the permanent remedy in
the reservoir idea.
In order to aid the Pimas as much
; possible he had detained at the
school about 300 youngsters who will
be provided for during the vacation
season, thus relieving their parents, of
the necessity of their support during
the summer.

ernment of a permanent policy for the
reclamation and settlement of the pub
lic domain, under which all the re
maining public lands shall be held and
administered as a trust for the benefit
of the whole people of the United
States, and no grants of the title to
any of the public lands shall ever here
after be made to any but actual set
ters and bomebuilders on the land."
It is a gratifying fact that all along
the line distinct progress has been
made in the preliminary work of estab
lishing a national irrigation system.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note that 12,000,000 acret on the great
Sahara Desert, one of the roost desolate
and forbidding rections of the globe,
have recently been reclaimed by means
of artesian wells under government
supervision. If they can do soon things
ia Africa, we certainly should be able
to do equally well in the United States.
AU that is needed is a continuance of
presistantand enthusiastic effort on the
part of our people especially those of
the West and Southwest and before
many years we may see millions of
acres of land, now arid and almost
worthless, transformed into smiling
orchards, fields and gardens, with a
large population of prospetous and
happy American citizens owning their
awn productive homes.

Progress in National Irrigation.
From the Lot Angeles Times.
The increased appropriation made in
the sessiou f Congress lust closed
greatly encourages all who are . inter
ested in the accomplishment of the ob
jects of the National Irrigation Asso
ciation and will be-asonrce of gratifica

and as timulus to renewed effort,
The following letter from Congress
man H. S. Boutell to a Chicago firm
given a clear idea of the whole situs'
tion in reference to the appropriation
of 1100,000 for irrigation surveys by
the United States Geological Survey:
"Your letter of the 2nd instant, was
duly received in reference to the ap'
propriation for irrigation surveys. The
original amount given by the House
was $50,000. This was increased by
the Senate to $250,000, and the Con
ference Committee finally agreed udoi
$100,000, at which amount it became a
law, June 6, 1900. ; . . ,
"I have received quite a number of
communications on this Bubject, and
am convinced that this work will be of
great benefit In tha-development ot the
internal resources of this country-. It
was not possible,. however, in the clos
ing hours of Congress to secure any
modifications of the conference- report
on the great Sundry Civil Bill, in
which this item is. included. I am con
fident that adequate provision will be
made for the carrying out of this work
in the future."
In addition to this appropriation of
$100,000 the General Deficiency Bill cas
ried an appropriation of $30,000 , for
this work, which is under the direction.
of F. H, Newell, Chief Hydrographer
of the Geological Survey. TTbe expend
iture of these appropriations will
demonstrate the value of the work to
the country, and the necessity for
larger appropriations in future.
Every bill relatiug to the public
lands was defeated which was npt in

The National Irrigation Movement..
(From tb Loe Ang-eles Tbass.
With a little effort on part of the peo
pleespecially residents of the South
west, who are ao directly interested
ia the question there is no doubt that
the next Congress may be induced to
take a serious interest ia the question
of national irrigation and grant a
liberal appropriation lor the- pur
pose. To seowre this, however, it will
be necessary to keep up. a steady and
persistent campaign ot education, as
the subject ia one which is even yet
comparatively little understood by the
mass of the people, in spite of ttbe
large amount of literature that 1ms
been disseminated by the National
Irrigation Association, aided by a large
portion of the press. As The Times
recently observed, it is not altogether
creditable to tho enterprising people
of the Southwest, to which section
irrigation is of such vital import, that
they should actually be taking less.
interest in the subject than many resi
dents of the East and Middle States.
In a recent letter from a leader in
the national irrigation movecaent, now
in Washington, he says: "If there
were, only same way by which the
leading men of Los Angeles could be
led to appreciate the real situation
in reference to this irrigation move
ment they would put their' shoalders
to the wheel in dead earnest,"
Two faots are- absolutely demons
trated. The first is, that the influence
of the California delegates in Congress
Is insufficient by itself to secure the
inauguration of the national irrigation
movement. The secoud; is, that the
necessary support from the Bast can
be bad through the in&uence of the
business men of the West, who are
constantly buying goods from the
merchants and mamujacturers ot the
East.
Mr. Maxwell, the executive chair
man of the National Irrigation Asso
ciation, is constantly receiving letters
from eastern manufacturers and mer
ohants containing the most positive
, assurances of the support of ,the- Con
gressmen from, their districts for the
aational Irrigation movement. If the
Bterchants of the West would take the
matter up systematically, they could
' build up a movement which would be
so strong that it would sweep every
thing before it and we could get $10,
800,000 a year appropriated for irri
gation in the West. Maxwell writes
as follows :
"I wish that I could be in California
for a few days aX least to try and im
press this upon, some of the leading
men of Los Angeles, but it is impossi
ble for me to- go there. I feel that!
must stay where my effort will accom
plish the greatest results, and I think:
this ii in th city of Chicago. The
suceess. which i met with in. enlisting
the interest of the merchants of St,
Paul and Omaha leads me to believe'
that we can get the great commercial
intesests of Chicago to take hold
strongly of the- proposition. But the
people of Southern California must
appreciate that the people of the- East
will not take th lead in the matter
either in Congress or elsewhere, The
people of the West must unite and
inaugurate a bold and aggressive cam
paign for th- inauguration o the na
tional irrigation policy on a broad and
comprehensive-scale, and if they will
do this the- necessary support from the
East can b brought to them.
"The situation was well illustrated
iq the last session of 'Congress. In the
Senate the friends of the measure

In tbe House it was very different.
The Congressmen from California, par
ticularly, are loaded down with so
many demands from their constituents
for different things that they 60 not
feel strong' enough to make radical
deoands on the eommittee, and it was
hard to make them believe that we
had the votes right there in the House
to have passed the appropriation if it
could have come fairly before the
House for a vote."
The appropriation of $ iOO.OOO which
has been secured will greatly strength
en this movement and1 make it easier
tot secure $250,000 in the next session
than it was in this. We want more,
however, than appropriations- for sur
veys. We want appropriations- for
construction, and) we shall get them if
the people in Los Angeles and' South
ern California will take the matter
up strongly and work as enthusiasti
cally as they have for other conces
sions wlueh they have succeeded in
obtaining- from Congress in the past.
