performed their parts with great merit,
and showed great proficiency in their

Reservations

Arizonians are raising a lively row
about the inequality in size and import
ance, relatively, Of the Indian and mill
tary reservations in that Territory. The
Pima reservation is considered to be
none too large, as the Indians are good
farmers, and always have been. The
Parago reservation. near San Xavier del
Bac Is considered in the same light, all
the Indians being Industrious rancheros.
The Colorado river reservation, intended
for the Indians OF the same name. Is
condemned, although fine acequia was
constructed by the government for irri-
CATION, but few Of the tribe live on 1t,
thus withdrawing valuable land from
settlement. The San Carlos reservation
receives the biggest black eye Of any of
them. 1t is stated that there are never
more than 5000 Indians on this reserva-
ton, most of them bad Chiricahuas,
Apaohes and White Mountains-while
the land Is as valuable as any in the
Territory, being rich in coal, timber,
arabic land, silver. gold. water, etc. As
the number of Indians quartered there
are not able to!cultivate or improve this
vast tract it Is the general opinion that
/. should be siismalieaa, IN proportion to
the number Of Indians upon it, and give
white settlers chance.
The military reservations. es-
tablished when Arizona was in
its infancy, are immense in size.
The Fort Lowell reservation, for
instance, situated near Tucson, con-
tains 40, 900 aores, when GAO acres. or a
square mile, is all the space the troops
could possibly occupy. Thus is other
valuable and unused land withdrawn
from settlement.
In Southern California, the situation
is not SO bad, as, instead of the Indians
having the best land, they have the
poorest, in watery oanons debouching
into the Colorado desert. Besides, they
are good, honest sheep shearers and
grape pruners, when not fed with
alcoholic stimulants, which is against
the law. They are docile and not ''bad, I"
which renders the Indian question in
Southern California far different from its
aspect in the Territories of Arizona and
New Mexico.

Their excuse is that 1t would take ten
days labor, with four assistants. How,
then, can any ticket buyer in this lottery
know that the number on his ticket has

II they desire an honest drawing, why
do they not. on the day Of, and Just be.

holder the privilege Of calling out his
number and see that it is placed in the
wheel so he then can have some chance
Of its being drawn out with prize from
the other wheel? Other lotteries have
done so. Under their system why don't
they make their capital 1000, 900.
