To the Senate and House of Representa- lives of the United States in Con-
 qress Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, respectfully rep resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix, Arizona, on the 11th of December, A. D. 1896, unan- imously adopted the following:
 Whereas The Pima and Maricopa Indians, tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls, have been deprived of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of thu white race in America, through the appropriation of such waters by settlers on the headwaters of the Gila river and
 Whereas. Through the loss of such waters the lands once cultivated by these tribes have become barren and worthless, and the members of such tribes have become a charge on the Government. and forced by tion and penury and
 Whereas, Such tribes have from the ear Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race; and
 Whereas, The people of the United States have pledged themselves by solemn treaty to protect such tribes in their property and property rights; and
 Whereas, The Government of the United States has and now is engaged in tho ext penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol- lars for the construction of works of irriga- tion for the reclamation of lands belonging to other Indian tribes; therefore, be 1t
 Resolved. That this Congress do approve the proposed constructions. under the plans of the U. S.

 Resolved. That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as just and philanthropie. but as economical aud good policy, as in a comparatively short time the expense of maintaining such h. diars as sGoyernnient charges will far exceed the cost of the irrigation works required to

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, con be bought for from S2O to $50 per acre, according to location and im- provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in tho valley. Water in inexhausti- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet in fact. river seems Go be flowing underneath. Here is splen- did opportunity to take mp and improve land with a pumping system of irrigation. which Is said to be successful on small tracts.

make them self-suprorting aud self-re- specting community.
 New, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record as earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the | Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons
 1. The reservoir site referred to having been withdrawn iron entry by Government authorities, cannot now be utilized by any private corporation, and the Government therefore occupies the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the h. dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements aud an mex haustible supply of water for Irrigation of their lands, to the end that they
 may become self supporting. By this
 means will home life be furnished
 for the Indian and he will more rapidly
 advance in civilization as conse-
 quence. He will abandon his nomadic
 life, his children will be kept at home
 and educated in neighborhood schools,
 instead of being sent to large Indian
 schools tt distance where they
 are kept Gas it would seem) for mere
 purposes of show. After being in-
 structed in the arts of civilization for a
 time they are returned to sayagery,
 to become more unhappy and discon-
 tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We feel } that the present policy of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard 3. The Pima and Maricopa Indian
 reservation contains 350, 900 acres of as , fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona, and is admirably l, adapted for homes for these people, as 3 well as the wandering Papagoes, who : are now compelled to prey upon tn, herds of our farmers and ranchmen foi subsistence.

A Painless Bee.

A small stingless bee is found in the state of Sinaloa and in Topic, The honey or these bees is not great in quantity. is dark colored, very liquid and is said not 10 crystalline. Another peculiarity of the honey is that 1t has a decidedly sour or tart taste. and on this account it is much sought after as being greater delieacy than the sweet honey of the tame bee. The reason these bees are small producers is that, as they are stingless. they are con stantly robbed by the larger varieties, the tame bee being one of the robbers.

There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one- half the natural advantages and SO few en gineering difficulties as the San Carlos reser voir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-living rock, and all that is left for man to do Is to put in the headgate. the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by paItry 220 feet. A country is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square, representing l0000 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachu- setts combined. The rainfall is sufficient to hll the reservoir twice year. and the land to be brought under cultivation is practi- eally limitless.

At present it contains e population of lbout 1900, but with the completion of these TWO railroads and the San Carlos reservoir no ,ity in Arizona can approach it for natural advantages, and large increase in popula- ton will follow. Florence is at an elevation of 1l92 feet above sea level, situated near the Giln river. twenty-six miles northwest of iho railroad station of Casa Grande. with which it is connected by on elegantly equipped daily stage line. Going and com ing stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins, and passengers are allowed short time to inspect them. There arc many handsome private residence in Florence, several brick stores, good hotel, an excellent graded school employing four teachers. churches, secret societies, Commercial Club, two newspapers, and the handsomest court house in the Territory.

In fact, in residence of twenty-one years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- siye as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fully 30 degrees.

But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is some thing better than health resort.

THE CASA eaAsDE VALLEY CANAL

Is forty -three miles in length and covers e0,o0o acres of land, about 600 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's cap acity in- creased. reservoir covering 1,bO0 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6, range 9. gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by a shortage of water during a few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would stcre 2sl.sso acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating 1lo,ess acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is s1. .0ss. .s26. This survey was made by order of Congress, for which s20,0o0 was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles, the noted irrigation engineer, fully yerifies Mr. Lippincott's report. and strong ly urges upon Congress the duty of con- structing the work. A dam 200 feet in height, which Mir. Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 55.0eo acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have a life of sixty-three years without dredging. The report says: -'In the event of the construc- ton of this dam there will be built up in the valley of the Gila river, where desert now exists, a community of fully 4o000 souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax able wealth without permanent outlay on the part of the Government" A billis now before Congress for the construction of the work, and there is little doubt of it's passage when it's merits become known
