THE BUTTES RESERVOIR.

The Buttes reservoir meeting at the

the largest aud most enthusiastic of
any yet held 1the committee ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions to pay

more to Washington reported that
the sum of $672 had been subs ,ribed
and there was almost certainty that
the amount would reach $1,000. Oar
people are looking at this matter from
a purely humanitarian standpoint.
They realize the great injustice that
has been done our lifelong friends,
the Pima and Maricopa Indians, in
depriying them of the water necessary
to irrigaie their fields, and it by
spending g few dollars they can right
that wrong they are willing to do it.
The Government has been a party to
the robbery in selling land to white
settlers in this valley, which would of
course be valueless without water,
and it will now be eslled upon to do
but simple justice in furnishing a
storage reservoir for the food waters
of the Gila river which annually 90
to waste. Mr.. Whittemore is an en-
thusiast on the subject of the Indians
wrongs, and already has interested
by letter many of the prominent hu-
manitarians in the East, who will
actively cooperate with him in in
fuencing legislation. Our people are
not selfish in the matter, and only
hope to be benefited by the general
prosperity and civilizing influences
that will accrue to our Indian neigh
bors on the Sacaton reservation.

shire family whose armorial bearings
were old when Columbus sailed to dis
cover the new world.
The long life of Mr.. Jonathan Black
nall almost bridging the 10Th century
was singularly pure and serene. If it was
without ambition it was also without
guile Though very reserved in this res
pect as in all Others he was u man O
strong and fervent piety.
He lived to see his estate lost and died
a poor man, but from the highest stand
point his life was successful one. for il
was cheerful, happy and beneficent. Not
even his constantly increasing deafness
which beginning from lightning
stroke in early life, later on almost shut
him out from the world of sound
changed one whit the unfaiing kindli
ness OF his patient nature.

death. At the time of his death
he was surgeon of the Third regiment,

warm hearted sincerely which begets
love, he won friends on every hand, who
esteemed him most highly and to whom
hisearly death is a deep, personal loss.
Our people were always proud of him.
