think. and am sure you will agree with
me, that ii is the best way OF getting rid
of a legal limitation that interferes with

"The best way is 10 have the people
understand that limitation ought to be
removed. and that the statutes Of our

Will DeveIope Water
Government Investigating MOqui
and Navajo Indian Reservations
for the Purpose of Water
Resources.

United States Geological Sur
vev has recently been instructed
by the Secretary of the Interior
to make an eXamina ton of Mo-
qui and Navajo Indian reserva-
tiOns to determine whether or
not ground water exists there in
sufficient quantities to justify de
velOpement.
The region occupied by these
tribes is is the high desert east of
the Grand Canyon of the Colora-
do. The Navajo are best known
as the makers of Indian blankets
of unique design and of particu-
larlv fine quality. Both the Ma
vajo and Moqui are PASTORAL
tribes, herding within the reser-
vatiOn hocks of sheep and cattle
In places where sufficient wa ter
is available small acres have been
put under cultivation, Indian
corn, melons and a few vegeta-
bles being raised.
The reservations are rather
rarely visited by white men, al
though they compromise some of
the most picturesque acres III the
great plateauS OF the Southwest.
San Juan river, one of the tribu-
taries of the Colorado, but is
somewhat smaller. Just south of
the Moqui reservation is the Lit
tie Colorado, which before 1t Joins
the Colorado likewise sinks into
deep canyon whose walls are
made up of various colored sand
stone and limestone e.-Coconino

the trouble-she didn't know what to

a whole lodge was suspended for

there being several other people
