PIMA INDIANS. Recommendation of Aid for this Worthy Tribe. Reservoir Needed Where the San Carlos Joins the GiIa-Would Transform an Arid Valley into
 Garden.
LCorrespondenee Tucson citizen.l


 WASHINGTON, D. G., April 28, 1900. The Senate committee on Indian Af- fairs last Saturday began the considera- tion of certain recommendations receiy- ed from the Director of the U. $. Geolo- gical Survey looking to the early amel- ioration of the present deplorable con dition of the Pima Indians. favor- able report from this CoAEsIstee s anticipated and will be welcomed by citizens of Arizona, one and all.
 Justice has been sleeping long enough in this case, so long in fact that a tribe which for an hundred years had never cost this government dollar is to-day reduced to penury, want and idleness.
 The history of the Pima Indians is most interesting. Their industry and thrift, their charity and their kinG. ness to the white and red man alike for period as far back as we have any record in Arizona stands out in strong contrast when compared with the history of the treacherous he'll hounds who comprise the major DOT tion of this Nations wards.
 It is crying shame that the oppor- tunity to continue as self-respecting, sclfsupporting race should be denied them.
 The recommendation of the director of the survey is that Uncle Sam appro- priate sum of money sufficient to con- struct reservoir upon the site selected, viz: at San Clrlos, on the Gila, at point where the San Carlos joins the Gila. The water which is released from the site selected will pass through approximately 40 miles of box canyon on its way to the irrigab ble lands where it is to be used. As projected this reservoir will have a greater capacity than any of the other sites recently surveyed. The total number of acre feet first stored by this reservoir is estimated at 241 1896, quantity suffi- cient to irrigate all the lands of the Indians and many thousands of acres besides. The building of this dam will cost $1 ,039, 1926, but this is an insigui- ficsnt amount which we consider the revolution which this dam will accom- plish.
 It means the reforming of tribe of 5000 Indians, from nomads, tramps, thieves and vagabonds to prosperous, settled and industrious citizens. It means the reclamation of desert into as fertile valley as any the famous river Nile can boast of. It means homes for thousands of thrifty agricul- turists in land of sunshine and bountiful harvests. It means making the present valueless government land marketable. Best of all, it means thu initiation Of the United States in tht business of utilizing by practiea methods its vast water supply in tn, arid region. One government reser voir in actual use will establish precedent and in a measure commi congress to building others. The repre- sentatives from the arid states should work together for this end and tn, San Carlos reservoir will serve as al excellent starter.

The fact that Alvord and his com panions were at the Thompson ranch became current news in Wilcox and throughout the surrounding country, early Tuesday afternoon, but no at- tempt was made to organize a posse to try to capture them either that after noon nor Wednesday morning.
 It is claimed by people familiar with the conditions in southeastern Arizona that the outlaws have friends at al- most every ranch and that as long as they are in that section they will not be captured.

AT THEIR OLD HAUNTs.
tombstone Jail Breakers Visit Ranch
 Near Wilcox.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l

From the Phoen1X Gazette.
 P. B. McCabe, the well-known min ing man, arrived in Phoenix from Will. cox yesterday morning, and tells remarkable story of visit of Bert AL word, Wm. Stiles and Bravo Juan to the Thompson ranch near. Wilcox on Tuesday.
 The three men were last reported to have made their way into San Bernar- dino county, California, via Ehren berg but it would seem now thaS they have been in the southeastern part of the territory ever since their famous break from the Tombstone jail two weeks ago. On Monday night the three men rode up to the Thompson ranch of which Alvord was formerly manager. They rested there all night and in the morning sent cowboy to Wilcox to purchase supplies for them. He re- turned safely with the supplies, and a woman on the ranch was set to cook ing and kept busy all day at the task of preparing food to last the party for number of days.
 Emboldened by the success in pur- chasing supplies in town, they sent another cowboy into town to purchase ammunition. Wells Fargo detective learned of the large purchase of am munition, and believing it was fol some one of the numerous outlaw bands that have been in that vicinity lately, arrested the cowboy and pre- vented his return to the ranch.

in the building of storage reservoirs has not yet been established, yet Con- gress is fully alive to the importance of the irrigation subject and regular ly appropriates considerable sums for stream measurements, reservoir sur veys, irrigation investigation, etc. The present agricultural bill carries $S5, 900 for irrigation investigations by the Department of Agriculture and appropriations have been regularly made by Congress for such work since 1890. The Department is now doing active work along this line.
 "There is need" says Professor Ewood Mead, who is carrying on this work in the field, flor a systematic investigation to determine the volume of water used in the growth of crops, both to ascertain the requirements of different crops and of fdifferentclimates and to determine the relation between the variations in the demands of crops and the fluctuations in the flow of streams. This information is needed as basis for the proper diversion of streams by administrative officers. It is needed by canal builders in order to properly design these structures and it is needed by farmers to promote the saving of water and thus limit losses through an made nate supply, or te extend the acreage which can be culti- vated.
 PRACTICAL MEASUREMENTS.
 Measurements should be made to show the utility of storage reservoirs and the part they can be made to per form in both saviog the crops of farm CTS, now living along streams and mak- ing it possible for others to settle there Without definite knowledge of the variation which exist between the use of water in different months of the irrigation season and the fuctuatiou in the discharge of a stream, we car only conjecture as to the amount ot flood water available for storage"
 It will be no small task. according to Mir. Mead, to put into shape cor rect and intelligihle guide which may be relied upon as an authoritativ summary of the data on which tn development of the irrigation systen of the great West should be founded.

The Paris Cab Driver.

Outside OF many wine shops In Paris
and in the principal cities of France
sign is often to be seen bearing the
words, Au cocher fidele c'To the faith
full cocher''); beneath it a driver is
pictured, hat in hand, restoring to a
gentleman and lady, the hirerS of the
coach, a purse forgotten on the cush-
ions of the vehicle. This is not con-
ception of the artist, nor vile f1attery
of the restaurant or wine shop to draw
thither the coachman with a foible for
the bottle, but reality which often oc-
ours and of which the cocher has every
right to be proud.
Anybody who has lived any length
of time in Paris will indorse the state
ment. Who has not forgotten an UNI
brella, a walking stick, small satchel
or some little object on the seat or floor
of a public vehicle? And who has not
had his property restored without even
having taken the number of the We
hicle, without any remembrance OF the
physiognomy of the driver? By sim
pie application to a special office at the
prefecture of police, where all objects
found, in public carriages are deposit
ed and arranged according to the date
and hour at which they were brought
in, one is able promptly to regain pos
session of his lost property.
