eral hostilities. The heavy rains
of the past Summer have prac-
tically solved the question. There
is now, and will be Tor some time,
water enough on the reservation;
the Indians will go back there
and raise enough to eat; they
may grumble at having to aban-
don their improvements on Salt
River, Lut they can not help
themselves. White men who
have been annoyed by proximity
of Pimas will be relieved; and
white men who have coveted
farms improved and irrigated by
Pimas will get peaceable posses
sion. There is no good excuse
for keeping up sensational rumor-
of impending War with the
Pimas. The next time that
drouth occurs, and Pimas begin to
die of hunger, will be soon enough

these Indians have been hardly
