Mr.. VIM. Locke introduced house joint
memorial No. l addressed to the general
governments setting forth the deplorable
condition of portions Of the Navajo
tribe. The memorial recommends that
Mr.. E. Vincent, the present superinteno-
emit of irrigation, abandon for the winter
the work being carried on about forty
miles from tho agency, on the ground
chat it is too cold and inclement to per-
nit the continuance of the work. In
stead, it ia asked that system of small
bitches in connection with the San Juan
river to be begun, az work can there be
carried ON successfully all winter.
In reference to the memorial Mr.. Locke
stated that the government had made
liberal appropriation for irrigation
among the Indians and that it seems to
be the present policy to use very little
energy in carrying the work forward.
The change in the work contemplated BY
the memorial would give the Indians
work, and would give them in addition
permanent irrigation benefits.
After some discussion rs to the proper
dis position of the memorial, it was, on
motion of Mr.. Christy, referred to the
committee on Indian affairs with re-
quest for prompt action.

change of venue.
