the iadefensible 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 In. alans should be gathered on the reser- yations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, aud that they be furnished with farming implements and an inex- haustible supply of water for irrigation of thelr lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will q 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 Ut home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at distance where they are kept Gas it would seemA 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.
 5. The Pima and Maricopa Indian reservation contains 350, GOO acres of as fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona, and is admirably adapted for homes for these people. as well as the wandering Papagoes, who. are now compelled to prey upon the herds of our farmers and ranchmen for subsistence.
 f. The construction of a storage reservoir at the Buttes by the Govern ment offers plain business proposi- ton for the correction of these evils
 Resolved. that the Secretary of the Territory be instructed to transmit u copy of the foregoing Memorial to our Delegate and Delegate elect in Con- gress, and also copy each to the President Of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- tises Of the United States in Con-
 qress Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of tbe Territory of Arizona, respectfully rep- resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix, Arizona. on the llth of Dece rD Der, 4. D. 1896. unan- imously adopted the following;
 Whereas, The Pima and Maricopa Indians tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls, have been depriyed of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of the white race in America, 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 the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- t1on 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 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 irrisa- tiou for the 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. $. Geological Survey. of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinai 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 philanthropie, but as economical and good policy, as in a comparatively shor time the expense of maintaining such In- dians as sGovernment 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:
 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

 In the Garden Spot of the West.

Pinal county was organised in ls75 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yayapai counties, and contains an area of ], ,s6s square miles. or s,4Ss,520 acres. one-third of which could be made productive by a systematic storage of the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Haricopa it is the most important agricultural county in the Terri tory. It Is traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad. and a 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 it 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.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county is the theater of railroad building at tho pres ent time, and inside of year Florence, the county seat, will be

FOR BACHELOR GIRLS.
Good, Wholesome Recreation Is Rec commended to Them-study
 Always.

Some excellent advice to bachelor girls is given by a writer in the Pitts burgh Press.
 Night work does not pay" she says. Il have known many successful wcmen who. at the beginning of their careers. worked IS hours day. This may have seemed necessary, but it was not wise. although the persistence and energy which is revealed were admirable.
 The most profitable indulgence pos sible is that given to good, wholesome recreation which not only improves the quality of ones effort, but a.so extends the time in which to win success, the active period of a woman's fife. Read. ing should form considerable element in Q young woman's recreation 0s this point speak with conviction from my own personal experience. I car recall scarcely a day in the course Of which have not spent from one to twa hours or more reading something sub. stantial--history. poetry, political economy or historical romance. Not only have l found this one of the raresa pleasures of my life. but it has to sery considerable extent made up foS the lack of college education. Study in season and out of seasen. Never stop ha.f way along any line. Master it CT keep it until forced to admit # has mastered you. Never forgetor overlook an old friend and make as many new ones as possible without the sacrifice Of a whit of self-respect or individuality Do this from principe. inasmuch as f is through our friends that the best opportunities of life come to us"

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands. with government title and water right, can be bought for from S20 to $50 per acre, according to location and im- provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and 10 the south of the Casa Grande
 ins there are thousands of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhaustl- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, a river seems to be flowing underneath, Here is splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with q pumping system of irrigation. which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However. with the completion of the San Carlos reservoir, pumping will be Q thing of the past, and it is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done, and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered

sUSsTRoKE IS UNKNOWN.

In fact, in residence of twenty y-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 a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppros- sive 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 50 degrees. At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights are invari- ably cool in tho summer, and outdoor labor Is performed without serious discomfort to either man or boast 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

PRODUCTS OF THE VALLEY.

Unlike the Salt river, the waters of the Gila are fresh and pure; the soil contains no alkali. is deep, rich gray ash, especial ly adapted to the growth ofthe prune. olive. almond, peach, fig, pear, apricot and fruits of all kinds. which pay largely on the invest ment. It Is also the natural home of alfalfa. which grows in the most prolific manner. The grape docs exceptionally well in this valley. and wine and reisin cultureis destin-
 to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to a limited ex- tent; there are a number of orange trees in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- teetion, and few date palm trees are also II full bearing. The season is from six
 eekst to two months earlier than Southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated advantage in

A RAILROAD czNrxR.

At present it contains a population of
 bout l5u0. but with the completion of these
 railroads and the San Carlos reservoir no city in Arizona can approach it for natural advantages, and large increase in popula- tion will follow. Florence is at an elevation of l4s2 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 com- ing stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins, and passengers are allowed a 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, churches, ecret societies q Commercial Club, two newspapers. and the handsomsst court house Gin the Territory. Here is held the United States Court for the district composed of Gila, Graham and Pinal counties. The streets are lined with shade trees. which impart an air of com fort on the warmest days.

 bring every foot of it under cultivation. only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop 1t. There is no watep-storage scheme on u e Pacific coast that has one- half the natural advantages and so few en gineering difficulties as the san Carlos reser yoir. 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 paltry 220 feet. A country is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square, representing 400o0 square miles, or larger than Maine and Massachu- setts combined. The rainfall is sufficient to fill the reservoir twice year, and the land to be brought under cultivation is praeti- cally limitless. This may read like fairy tale. but is is every word true, and has been
 erifed time and again.

The reservoir of the Casa Grande Valley Canal company is the largest in the terri tory. It covers a surface of 1900 acres, with an average depth of F feet, and contains about eight thousand million gallons of water. It is situated fifteen miles sonth- west of Florence. A levee of earth has been thrownup across a depression in the plain I4,oOO feet in length, l25 feet in width at the bottom and 25 feet in width at top, to slope on each side, and an average height of 9 feet. The waste is regulated by 3 cast iron pipes feet in diameter, set in solid masonry, regulated by gates and tower. This reservoir cost S150000, and supplies water for 5000 acres

The absence of fogs and nightly dews is formidable obstacle to the destructive and unsightly scale-bus. and the fruits of the valley are all bright and clean. All the agri- cultural products of temperate and semi tropic zones are easily grown here. the long seasons giving succession of crops that double or treble the productive value fthe land.

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection during the winter for a year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened,
 While it is a 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 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 ore of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zone, 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 suffi- eient water to irrigate this vast body of land.

THE CASA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL

is forty-three miles in length and covers oo'oOo acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in creased. A reservoir covering ls00 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township s. range Q, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it. but those above suffer by shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It IS proposed to remedy this by the con struetion of a huge reservoir near San Carlos which would stcre 2Sl ,s95 aere-feet of water, capable of irrigating 1i0,s9s acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is S1,0S8.s25. This survey was made by order of Congress. for which s200Oo was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles, the noted irrigation engineer, full, verities Mir. Lippincott's report, and strong ly urges upon Congress the dnty of con- structing the work. dam 200 feet in height. which Nr. Schuyler considers per feetly feasible, would store 5J0.009 acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have life of sixty-three years without dredging. The report says: In the event of the construe- ton of this dam there will pc built up in the valley of the Gila river where desert now exists community of fully 40.o00 souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax able wealth without permanent outlay on the part of the Government" A bill is now before Congress for the construction of the work, and there is little doubt of it's passage when it's merits become known.
