BLYTHE, Cal, June 20.-Floyd
Brown received word last Fri

that as soon as the papers could be

putting the road in shape for the

bloom as the rose and produce fruit
and foodstuffs for mankind
eff these lands may be thown open
for settlement you will find that with
in a very short time the town OF
Parker will increase i'm population by
leaps and bounds. Indeed, other
towns will spring up and where there
is now nothing but desert waste will
within two years be the scene of hap
py homes and prosperous people. Ever
since the general public was permit
ted to purchase lands i'm the town of
Parker and erect residences thereon
and retain title, / have taken the
position that the good faith of the
government was pledged toward
throwing open these lands on the
Colorado River Indian reservation for
settlement at the earliest possible
date Indeed, if the government did
net expressly promise to open these
lands, its implied promise was made
upon numerous occasions.
Il am advised that there existc
sCme opinion to the effect that these
lands should not be thrown open to
settlement until the government has
determined whether or not it will
build an irrigation project at SOM
point nearby on the Colorado river
TO irrigate these lands. This should
not be the occasion for any delay il
opening the land The lands ought
to be opened for settlement and the
proposition of an irrigation proje1,
can be taken up subsequently. First,
for the reason that a greater part c
the lands may be IRRIGATED by individ-
ual wells, secondly, the state of Ari-
Zona has recently passed the Care
act, and if the government is not
prepared at this time to build an irri
CATION project hit should not stand in
the way and preclude private capital
or the state of Arizona from build
ttL pi OJVSI. Gill
tha the state of Arizona will become
Il bidder. and might probably sup
an irrigation project with which
irrigate these lands, as | ann adybGC'
tnat the legislature of the state of
Arizona desires that dam be bIliIli
under the Carey act and under the
Arizona Irrigation bill.
''Will you therefore consider this
petition at the earliest possible da0e?
l personally vouch for the reliability
of the signers; many of them are
prominent business men and me1l OF
the highest type both in public and
private life, and it would be a ser
ious injustice further to prOlong the
opening of these lands for settlement.
After reading this letter and this
petition may | not call and confer
with you again, and have personal
conference with you, as | am exceed
ingly anxious to have some action
taken before the close of this ses-
sion of congress? With great respect.
Yours sincerely,
