IRRIGATION OF INDIAN LANDS.
The Need or n Competent Engineer to 5u.
pervine Such Work.

The Need or n Competent Engineer to su-
pervine such Work.
WARRINGTON. Nov. 2o.-For several years the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs have urged
upon Congress tho need of appointing a super
intendent for the supervision Of the construc-
tion'.of irrigation works on Indian reservations.
At the last session q provision WAS made that
S2,7oo Of :he appropriation could be used for
tho temporary employment OF persons of prac-
tioal experience IL such work. at Q compenaa-
ton not exceeding $75 per month. with a total OF
81, 500 for incidentals and travelling expenses.
But whom It is con sidered that a foreman In
charge OF laborers receives SIS per month and
that u competent irrigation engineer
from Sc. 900 to $4,000 n year. II will be seen
that some further legislation is needed. Tho
difficulty. however, is not the size of tho avail
able appropriation, but the S75 limit. With
that removed. 1t would DO possible to secure q
man capable of planning and supervising the
execution OF this kind OF work.
The Importance OF irrigation to tho welfare
OF the Indians on some reservations can hardly
be overe ,timated. A large part of them are to
be found In what is sometimes called the arid
belt. and II white men are compelled to resort
to artificial works in order to get u supply Of
water for agriculture, still greater is the need
of the red men, who have no inherited apti-
tude for farming. On some reservations. too,
like the Navajo. vast herds OF cattle and sheep
are kept. ana sometimes the wandering OF tho
Indians beyond their proper lines has been
wholly ascribable TO the need OF finding water
for themselves. their herds, and their focks:
OF late years much attention has been paid
to this matter. and the report OF the last year
shows how It Is carried on. On the Crow res
ervation. in Montana. work was begun in
May, 1891. and Superintendent Graves. In a
report dated Sept. l last, says that since he has
BEEN in charge nearly 100000 cubic yards of
earth, gravel. and rock have been excavated
and handled, and more than 100 miles OF ditch
channel constructed. through most or oil of
which wafer is now flowing, aud supplying
from 20. 900 to 25 900 acres OF land. The
greater part OF the work has been done by In
dians; OF cement masonry, $50 cubic yards
have been laid, and 300, 900 feet OF lumber have
been framed and placed, There had been
drawn from tho funds Set apart Cor this work
S257. 500. of which $2O3. 7l2 was for labor.
At Fort Hall, in Idaho. "A similar system of
work could not we'll be carried out, az prior
appropriations of water threatened to interfere
with the supply. Accordingly a contract was
made for the delivery of wafer with a company
which proposed to furnish IT,. On the Uintah.
Mission, San Carlos, and Western Shoshone
reservations has been expended the greater
portion OF the appropriation of $40. 900 for irri-
cation on Indian reservations during the fiscal
gear 1895.

Roundsman EnnIs's Prisoner was Dis
charged and He IL to he Tried.
Roundsmnn William Ennis. of the West Thir-
tieth street police station, was notified yester-
day that he must stand trial before the Police
Board on Monday on O charge OF refusing to
swear in court that a woman whom he had
arrested was intoxicated when he arrested her.
On tho night of Nov. IT Ennis found a good
looking young woman sitting on the stoop of a
house on West Twenty-fourth street. For an
hour she had loitered about the entrances to
two theatres, telling passers by that she had
been druggcd. When Ennis found her q little
crowd had gathered around her. some of tho
people there volunteered the Information that
the woman had been left on the street by two
companions. one, OF whom was a man. and that
her Gomp anions had driven away in a cab.
shes drunk. said one man, and another
said: Shes not drunk, she was drugged In q
cab
Roundsman Ennis summoned the police
patrol wagon and the woman was taken to the
West Thirtieth street police station. There she
cried and protested against her arrest. declRr-
ing that she was II respectable woman. She
said her name was Hail and gave an address,
Then she became hysterical.
Sergeant Lane, who was on duty. said 1t was a
plain case of lntuXication. and Ennis made n
formal charge at the desk TO that effect,
Miss Hall was locked up in IA cell. and during
fact TO the Sergeant on duty. and he tclephoned
for an ambulance, One came from tho New
York Hospital. The ambulance surgeon in
tected morphine into the girls arm to quiet her
and then went away.
oi iHo luIION lIs HlDTnlHR luc young woman
WAS taken to the jefferson Market Police Court
in the patrol wagon. ROundsman Ennis was
there. The station matron had spoken to him
about the case just before he went TO court.
She told the roundsmRn that n doctor had Mt
tended the woman during the night. and tho
doctor said something about morphine. So.
when the roundsman reached the police
court, he, was convinced that n mistake had
been made In charging the woman with In
toxicntion at the station house. The clerk of
the court had drawn up an intoXication COM
paint, but the policeman refused to swear to it.
Il don't believe she was int0Xicated,'' he
said. g and I'm not going TO make a false All
dayit to square myself"
Magistrate Mott made some characteristic re-
marks, and said that no would bring the case to
the attention OF the Police commissioners. He
did so. and Inspector Harley preferred charges
against the roundsmnn.
The woman WAS discharged.
When seen last night Ruundsman Ennis re-
fused 10 discuss the case, simply saying that he
would leave the matter for the Commissioners
to Judge.
