ARIZONA
Gov. Murphy Recommends Their
Sale and settlement and
Canals for Irrigation.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Gov. Murphy
Of Arizona, in his annual report, ad.
vocates the sale and settlement of the
large Indian reservations within the
territory, with the possible exception
of the Navajo reservation in North
east Arizona, and the government
construction of reservoirs for water
storage for irrigation in suitable To-
calities, with canals leading to lands
allotted the Indians. The governor
says the latter action, in which In
dian labor could be largely utilized,
would help to make farmers of the
Indians, and that the further main
tenance of the tribal relations az
now conducted and the retention of
reservation agencies, around which
the Indians cluster and live in idle
ness on government rations, most Sc
riously retard the civilization of the
Indians.
A number of localities in the terri
tory are dissatifed with the census
returns, and the governor alleges that
h greatest injustice was done to
Phoenix, the capital, in fixing it's
population at 1914 only. It's regis
tration for the city election last May,
he claims, indicated a population this
year of at least 10000. He attributed
he discrepancy in the figures to
enumeration in the summer when the
people were at summer resorts, and
to careless work of enumerators. He
says from the school census and 9TH
er reliable resources, the population
of the territory is now at least 1885,
300, against the census returns of 1922
O12.
Within the last decade 545 miles of
canal have been constructed at a cost
of $1,50s,46 and irrigated land has
increased 1858 acres.

M Dolphin, president of the order, are seeking of eial sealps and President Dolphin aGd the directors purpose to punish those operators who refused to leave their keys by expulsion from the organ Ia ton.
 The governing officials of tue Santa Fe system have emphati9aly announe. ed that they will not treat with the Or der of Railway Photographers under the present administration The operators who are on the trail of President Dol phin and the directors point cut 1his fact as point in their favor.
 President Dolphin, it is asserted. will use the argument that if his man date had been obeyed by all of the operators on the system the railway would not have been victorious It is said that fully 800 operators oE the Santa Fe failed to walk out on the request of President Dolphin.
