REDS TALK IRRIGATION
White Swan Conference Takes Ne
Definite Action.


Toppenish.--Because of the import
ance to II tribes represented on the
Yakima reservation, questions of irri-
cation that were brought before the
second Yakima Indian convention,
held at White Swan. were informally
discussed.
The Indians, under the leadership OF
Chief George S. Waters, as president,
considered the financing of the Wa
patio irrigation project designed to If
rigate 10000 acres. Whether this
work Is to be done by the United
States Indian service by using tribal
funds. whether it will be the work of
the reclamation service, or whether
NO further irrigation movement will
be backed by the Indians are the
three phases considered.
