HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4
To the Senate and House Of Representa- tives Of the United States in Con-
 cress 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 llth of December, A. D. 1896, unan- irnously 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 tke white race in America through the appropriation of such waters by settlers on the hcad,yaters of the Gila river; and
 Whereas. Through tho 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 the logs of their fields into lives of dcgrada- tion and pennry; and
 Whereas. Such tribes have from tho ear Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race; and
 Whereas, The people of the United States have pledged themselves Dy 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 the ex- penditure Of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- tion for tlle reclamation of lands belonging to other Indian tribes; therefore. be it
 Resolved, That this Congress do approve the proposed construction. under the plans of the U s. Geological Survey. of the Bnttes reservoir. in Pinal county, Arizona. recently reported. to again reclaim the lands of these tribes. believing that by so doing can the qoyernmeEst alone honorably redeem the broken pledges made by it to these people, and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indian tribes of the American continent that have always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved. That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as | just and philanthropic. but as economical and good policy. as in a comparatively shori lime the expense of maintaining such In- 6ians as s(ogsrnnaent charges will far exceed tic cost of fhe irrigation works required to

Improved lands, with government title and ater rigEt, can be bought for from s2O to 90 per acre. according to location and im- Foyements.

These are among the hoieest in the valley. Water in inexhaussi- ie quantity is found at dspth of from Tsnty io thirty feet; in fact, a river seems be flowing underneath. Here is (. splen- i'd opportunity to take mp and improve md with pumping system of irrigation. hich is said to be successful on small raets.

mako them . self-supporting and self-re- specting community.
 New, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record us earnestly endorsing the above recommendation 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.
 7. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the In- dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, aud that they be furnished with farming implements and 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 ut home and educated in neigh oorhood schools instead of being sent to large Indian schoola at a distance where they are kept (as it Hould seem) for mere purposes of show. After being in. strueted in the arts of civilization for 2 tifae they are returned to sayagery, to become more unhappy and d;scon' tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We fee that the present policy of the Indiar department is all wrong in this regard
 3. The Pima and Maricopa Indiai reservation contains S50,OoO acres of as fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona and is admirabi, adapted far homes for these people, aE well us the wandering Papagoes, wht are now compelled to prey upon tn herds of our farmera and ranchmen fo subsistence.
 4. The construction of a storag reservoir at the Battes by the Govern ment offers plain business proposi ton fcf the correction of these evils I Resolved. that the Secretary of tn Territory be instructed to transmit 4opy of the foregoing Memorial to ou Delegate and Delegate-elect in Con gross, and also q copy each to tn Presiden of the Senate and Speake of the House of Representatives
