Southern Pacific railroad. were in Yu-
ma last week on .orr of inspection
II Is we'll known that railroad men
as a rule are very cautious in their
remarks, and rarely give publicity to
prospective plans or projects Of roads
with which they are connected, but a
straw often indicates the direction of
the wind. and If we are not very much
mistaken. the Southern Pacific com
pany will be the first to build a rail
road into the Imperial country, and
will branch off at Flowing Wells.
The coming Importance of that coun-
try as an agricultural district is thtr-

Pacific company, and the Importance
OF getting into line to secure the rail-
road traffic that Is certain TO result
with the settling up and cultivation

San Xavier Indians
To Be Allotted Supplies.

Elwood Hadley, Indian agent at Sa-
eaton ana E. T.. Shrine have gone
to the San Zavier reservation to allot
the government property there in pos
session of Mr. Berger to the Indians
The cheifs AVE been instructed to
bring ."eir men to a certain place
where the property will be distributed
among them by lot.
The office of additional farme
which Mr.. Berger now holds mas been
abolished by the department i.ccord-
ing to Mr., Hadley and he has been
authorized to take possession of the
supplies belonging to the government.
He visited San avier Tuesday but was
refused possession by Mr.. Berger who
questioned his authority. After te-
legraphing to Washington, Mr.. Had
ley satisfied Mr.. Berger. who will
turn over the property and supplies.
Mr.. Berger has in his possession a
number of wagons and horses to the
government.
Agent Hadley said in the future
the San Zavier Indians will secure
their supplies from him at the SAGA
ten agency. Just as the balance OF the
Pimas, Maricopas and Papagos were
doing. Some Of these Indians come
a distance of 200 miles to secure the
supplies furnished by the government,
so he could see no reason why it
would be a hardship for the San Ia
vier Indians to travel a distance Of
seventy miles.
