COLORADO RIVER IMPROVEMENT

OUlUHHDU HNLH tWI HUNlNLNt
 The proposed improvement of the Colorado river below Yuma is matter of sufficient importance and merit to call for the approval of congress. The people of Yuma, and especially the Mexican line, for some time have been agitating the question of a levee on the Arizona side of the river. The levee is needed primarily to protect fertile agricultural lands from over flow, but it would also greatly improve the navigation of the river. Citizens of that community have laid the sub ject before Delegate Smith and Gov ernor Murphy, and they will make an effort to obtain an appropriation for the much needed work. Delegate Smiths bill, winch has been referred to the committee on rivers and har- bors, seems to cover the requirements. It reads:
 Be it enacted, etc, That the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appro- priated, for the purpose of construct ing levee OH the Arizona side of the Colorado river, south of the town of Yuma, to conhne the waters to the channel of said river, to improve navi- gation thereof, and also to effectually prevent the overflow of said stream on irrigable lands lying along the Ari- zona side thereof and adjacent to said stream.
 "Sec. ?. That the secretary of war is hereby directed to cause said levee to be erected in such manner as will best subserve the purposes of aforesaid, and that said work be accomplished at the earliest practicable time.'
 This is the first time, we believe, that Arizona has asked for any of the pork" of the appropriations for rivers and harbors, and to many members of congress it will doubtless be a surprise to learn that Arizona has navigable river, and that the time has arrived for it to receive consideration at the hands of the government, but there is every reason why the proposed inn provement should receive their appro- val. Every rivers and harbors bill provides for the improvement of a multitude of creeks and "rivers," of which a large number could be lost in the mighty Colorado. So long as it is the policy of the government to inn prove every waterway of the slightest importance, the people of Arizona have a right to expect that their claims for a much more meritorious project will have congressional sanction. Annually large expenditures are made for the construction and maintenance of levees on other rivers, and no reason can be suggested why the Colorado should not be included, now that the lands yearly inundated have become very valuable.

was an iridescent dream. So far,
instead of submissively yielding,
the natives have shown stubborn
resistance, and, instead of the mild
process OF benevolent assimilation,
we have been obliged to whip them
into submission, we have tortured
and murdered and cheated them,
aud now the late presidents dream
OF benevolent assimilation seems
seems farther than ever from real
izatiOn, for the natives are said 10
have come to hate the American
people with a bitter and undying
hatred. This is only natural, as
Ory people must come to hate those
whom they welcomed first as sa-
viours and liberators, only to fud
them afterwards cruel and relent-
less conquerors. Perhaps, in time,

try, but 1t is doubtful whether they
will ever be worth the tremendous
sacrifice We have made tor them.
