Concerning the Navajo reservation in
New Mexico and Arizona. the report
| recItes: This reservation is a very large
/ one. 1t cannot be reduced. as the peO-
! pie depend upon their sheep for their
! main support. They sheared last year
over 4OO,OOO- Their great industry is the
manufacture of blankets and the sale
or surplus wool They have several
thousand cattle, are self-supporting
industrious and good workers. They
work on the railroad and any other
work where they can earn money
/ Ihey are not permanently located IN
homes, as they have to shift about the
reservation with their focks to secure
grass.
In the winter they have some regu-
lar habitation, and in summer a pOr-
ton of them cultivate land wherever
they can get any chance for irrigation.
There is a contract o.. permit granted
70 Mr.. HUFF of Pennsylvania for ten
years at . per cent royalty on all out
From -ly-T~, IL l.
and work in the Garlic mountain dis
trict
This permit authorizes him to select
$40 acres for mining purposes. It gives
him two years to make his permanent
location. 1t requires him to make a
regular report through the agent, of
the work that is being done, locations,
etc. There is 2 railroad projected from
Durango, Colo, across this country to
Clifton in Arizona. It proposes to
cross the AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa
Fe IN the vicinity Of Gallup, y. NJ.
Should this road cross the Navajo res
ervatiOn it would be a great benefit
to these people. It would afford them
opportunity for labor which they would
readily take advantage of and open up
many coal mines in the reservation
There is an abundance Of coal on this
reservation. On the north side of the
reservation, along the San Juan river,
there are q succession of valleys,
which, if irrigated, would make fine
farming land
There is plenty of water for irriga-
ton and only lacking bitches to take
it out. The Indians are ready and anx-
iOus to do this work, and the few
thousand dollars spent on each valley
would open up sufficient farming land
to locate 1000 or 5000 Indians. I have
recommended in my report herewith en-
closed that some money be allowed for
this purpose. These NavajOes have no
money; draw no annuitieS except a few
wagons occasionally; they are self
supporting and are willing to do any
kind of work. If the government viii
appropriate 900 or 1000 for irri-
eating purposes on the San Juan river,
a very prosperous farming community
can be established there. On the north
side of the river from the reservation it
is settled up by prosperous white farm
ers who are all doing well; the only
drawbacks on the southern side, where
the Indians are, being q lack of
bitches. [ recommend that $4,000 or
$4,000 be appropriated this year to
this work.
W EStCIu ULiEu LOOK an dCIlNe part
in various national conventions recent
ly held in this city. At the National
Council Of Women held during the past
week Mrs. Ida Weaver OF Idaho, one
Of the leading political workers in that
state and representing the RathbOne
Sisters at the council spoke of the use
fitness TO women of membership in
frateTnaI benefit societies. In part she
said:
My observation has been in twelve |
years experience that it is a most eff
rective influence for good among the /
masses OF women and one that the
church should gladly welcome as a
1elpmate. Never, perhaps, has the di-
vine injunction to love one another and
JuT neighbOr as ourseIf been more /
faithfully practiced than it is today.
and perhaps no factor has been more |
potent than the fraternal affairs around |
