HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- lives of the United States in Con-
 uress 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 1lth 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 the 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 tbe members of such tribes have become . charge on the Government. and forced by the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- 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 the ex- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- tion for the reclamation of lands belonging
 
 Resolved. That this Congress do approve the proposed construction. under the plans of the U. s. Geological Survey. of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinal county, Arizona, recently reported, to again reclaim the lands of these tribes, believing that by so doing can the Government 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 shore time the expense of maintaining such In- dians as Government charges will far exceed the cost of the irrigation works required to make 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 as earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons:

PRETTY BIG PARISH.
Over One Larger Than All Ireland.

An American priest who has q parish larger than the whole of Ire land in area is Rev. Father F. B. Hayes, and aes parish includes a part of Montana and North Dakota and stretches for hundreds of miles through Wyoming. Father Hayes is a young man of about 30 years and was ordained at Cheyenne by Bishop Lenahan May IT, 1s99
 During the first year of his priest hood Father Hayes travelled over 10,- GOO miles in discharge of his clerical duties. looking after the spiritual well fare of his scattered forces, says the Pittsburgh Catholic. On one occa- sion he rode 143 miles on train, s miles by stage and 215 miles on horseback to baptize a child. On an- other occasion Father Hayes rode 500 miles on horseback through the noun tain region of Wyoming to attend to the spiritual needs of a few scattered Catholic families. Father Hayes is an athlete of the type so much sought after in a crack college team. He can make % or 30 miles at a good pace and frequently walks from his home at New Castle on Sunday morn ing IS mics into the mountains where there is situated a small mis- sion, saying masses at both places on the same day. The reason this particular walk is made is the fact that the trail is not ! passable one in several places for even the most rugged and practical mountain climb ing pony.

 2. 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, and that they be furnished with farming implements aud an inex- haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may becowe self supporting. By this means will home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as a 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 at a 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 savagery, 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

In fact, inaresidence 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 tho result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- siye as 30 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact. and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperaturet to be fully 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights are inyari- ably cool in the summer. and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai counties, and contains an area of ,s6s square miles. or sis5.520 acres, one-third of which could be made productive by systematic storage of the surplus water now running Co waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most important agricultural county in tho Terri tory. It is traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad. and branch of the great Santa Fe system is now ap- preaching from the north. The objective point of this road is connection with the Sonora road. of the same system. The Southern Pacific is also building in this direction from Tempe. and 1t is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and con- nection Is made with another branch of that road running from Bowie to Globe and now completed to Fort Thomas.

Florence is at an elevation of 1492 feet above sea level, situated near the Gila river. twenty-six miles northwest of the railroad station of Casa Grande, with which it is connected by an elegantly equipped daily stage line. Going and con- ing stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins, and passengers are allowed short time to inspect them. There are many handsome private residence in Florence, several brick stores, good hotel, an excellent graded school employing four teachers, ch1rches, secret societies, a Commercial Club two newspapers, and the handsomest court house in the Territory.

 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health" it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is some thing better than health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reason, considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zona, Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last ten years. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like sufi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land.
 THE CASA GBANDE VALLEY CANAL | is forty three miles in length and covers 60.o00 acres of land. about 7,oe0 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it eanb easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. reservoir covering 1900 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 few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of q huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would stcre 2s1 ,s96 acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating 1i0,898 acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is sl. .0S5, ,926. This survey was made by order of Congress. for which $2O,00O was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles, the noted irrigation engineer, fully verifies Mir. Lippincott's report, and strong ly urges upon Congress the duty of con- structing the work. A dam POO feet in height, which Nr. Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 5500O0 acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have life of sixty-three years without dredging. The report says: In the event of the construc- tion of this dam there will be built up in the valley of the Gila river where desert now exists. community of fully 40.OOO souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax able wealth without permanent outlay on the part of the Government" bill is nov before Congress for the construction of the work, and there is little doubt of its passage when it's merits become known.
