THREE STRAIGHT FOR PARKER

Guy Dunn cinched a victory for
the Parker base ball team last Sun
day when he swatted out a home
run With the bases full i'm the second
inning of the game with the Indian
school.
The Indian boys had been planning
all week how they would get revenge
for the two previous defeats and they
entered the game Sunday confident
Of winning. The first inning they
played errorless bali and things were
looking good for them In the sec
ond frame the Parkerites started off
with couple of singles and an error
by the redskin first baseman filled
the bases. Then Dunn came to bat
and pounded out homer that was
still rolling when he crossed the plate
That seemed to take all the heart out
of the redmen for they played the
remainder of the seven inning game
like a lot of grammar school boys.
The grand stand was filled with
fans and led by A w. Bryant, these
yelled themselves hoarse for the In
dams but their roofing was i'm vain
Williams struck out eight of them
in five innings McAdans pitched
the last two innings and did not al
low a hit.
The Indian team was somewhat
weakened by the loss of three regul-
ar players and claim they will get the
white boys scalp next Sunday. The
new grand stand made hit with the
fans and there was large crowd out
to see the game.

YUMA REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

At meeting of the Yuma County
republican committee held in Yuma
Wednesday, Theodore Roosevelt was
given almost unanimous endorsement
for the republican nomination for
president. There was but one dis

The committee passed resolution

were largely in favor of Roosevelt
and as they represent that faction of
the party they will take the respon-

of the committee expressed it ''the
delegates will be good, able Roose-
velt men,"
The state convention will be held
at Tucson June 3 at which time the
national delegates will be elected.
Contrary to the predictions of the
state committee, several of the Ari-
zona counties have already expressed
themselves strongly favoring Roose-

gressive element in the party will
gain control of a majority of the
county committees and defeat the

telegram received from RepreS-
entative Thomas brennan of Parker,
late Wednesday night announced that
the Carey Land bill had just passed
the state senate by vote of l6 to 3.
The favorable action of the senate
regarding this bill was assured last
Saturday when the senate committee
Of the whole recommended the meas
ure for passage and the telegram re-
Ce!ved from Mr.. brennan simply
verified the knowledge that the bill
would become law.
The measure passed the house thre
weeks ago by vote of 20 to 8. AT
that time it appeared that the bill
would meet keen opposition i'm the
senate. This body referred the meas
ure to the public lands committee
which probed the source of the OPP
position and after a study OF the
facts reported the bill favorably
Representative brennan who intro
duced the measure was largely IN
strumental in its passage. It was
he who furnished the senate committe
with large fund of data regarding
the need of the measure in opening
the Colorado River Indian reserva-
ton at Parker. With the facts
The Parker post., 1912-05-18

squarely before them most of the
senators Withdrew their opposition
and the act went through with COL
ors flying.
1t lis generally known that the gov
ernor favors the measure and it is
but a matter of 80 days as prescribed
in the act until it shall become a
law
Although the citizens of Parker
were practically assured of the pas
sage of the brennan bill, there is
much qualification in the fact that
ii is now safely through both house3
and it is but matter of a few
months until the Parker valley can
be opened under the new law.
A letter was received from Rep
resentative Carl Hayden by the Par
ker board of trade this week to the
effect that nothing could be done at
Washington regarding the opening
of the reservation until the state
passes~aAe Carey act. Now that the
act lis through the Arizona Legislature

DELEGATES FAVOR
BRIDGEPORT ACT
Desert Entrymen Meet in Los An
eeles and Decide to Form lrriga-
ton District to Reclaim Mesa
Lands Near Blythe.

At a series of meetings held in Los
Angeles last week by the desert EN-
trymen who have lands on the mesa
vest of Blythe and in the Chucka
walla valley there was a permanent
organization formed for the purpose
cf irrigating their lands.
After thoroughly going over the
situation the delegates decided that
they would form under the Bridge
ford act and elected the following
persons as officers of the new origin
ization: Robert (Bob) Montgomery,
president; Mr.. Farrell, vice-president !;
George Whorton James, secretary
and treasurer
These persons are all we'll known
to Southern Californians and have
been identified with many large pro
jects, and the new company is to be
congratulated on securing such COM
pet"nt officers.
Tntre were also five directors
elected. to-wit: Messrs Price, Isham
Edwards, H. L. Billson and Dr..
tasig
The report of Engineer SCHUYLER
has not yet been completed but he
presented to the meeting an outline
of the proposed system, but was I'm
able to give figures at the present
lime. He will have the report ready
within the next two weeks.
The new company will have many
obstacles to overcome but it has ey-
cry incentive. to go ahead for there
is great prospect for these fine
bodies of land, and the reward will
be great for those who are now TAX
ing such chances, should the project
turn out favorably. And why should
it not? For, after all, it is only
matter of dollars and CENTS
MExICANS CAUSE TROUBLE.
AS a result of the Mexican celebra-
tion last week, the citizens of Blythe
have decided that Mexican celebra-
tions are entirely too strenuous for
the safety and comfort of peaceable
Americans, and in trying to keep
peace the officers caused a serious
near-Spanish- war to take
place.
1t appears that one of the MeXicans
began to express their opinions of the
Blythe peace officers and otherwise
make trouble and upon the attempt
to take him his brother took a hand
in the affair and the Mexican escap-
ed in the darkness pursued by the
officers who located him as he at
tempted to escape horse back. AT
ter calling him in vain to halt they
opened fire upon him with a shot
gun and revolver, and before they
were through the horse was shot
but the Mexican got away, and TO
further disconcert the officers, after
all their trouble they found that the
horse they killed belonged to one of
! them.

INDIANS TO HAVE
SANITARY HOUSES
Sculptor and Photographer Will Show
congressman Unsanitary Conditions
in Effort TO Get Hospital and New
Dwellings For Them.

Efforts are to be made at the
next session OF congress by the In
diam department to secure an apprO-
priation for sanitary dwellings and
2 hospital for the Indians of the Colo
RADIO Indian reservation, according to
recent dispatches received by Super
intendent O. L. Babcock
Similar plans are being made for
other reservations where the Indians
are known to be living under unsani
tary conditions.

possible, complete Indian hut with
it's diseased occupants lis to be con-
structed by the department at Wash
ington where the committee in charg
of this legislation can see the direful
conditions that actually exist.
Mr.. Babcock has been asked to
secure photographs and materials for
the construction of the Indian shack.
| He has been informed that a sculptor
will be here ill a few days to make
study of the people and their
dwellings so that he can make clay
models for the Indian scene true tO
life
The increasing death rate among
the Indians from tuberculosis in all
parts of the west has made it evi-
dent that some drastic measures must
be taken if the red man is to survive.
| Those in charge OF the reservations
| have been hampered in their efforts
to improve conditions by the lack of
funds. Referring to the matter Mr.
Babcock said:
I'VE need hospitals so that the
diseased Indians can be segregated
from the healthy ones AS they live
now, all under one root, there is no
possible way to prevent the spread
of the contagious diseases that are
known to exist, | expect to furnish
the department with every bit OF data
possible in all effort to show the
needs of the Indians"
Under the direction of Mr.. Bah
cock a series OF photographs are being
made to show every phase Of the
Indian life The unsanitary housing
conditions are blamed for a large pa.
OF the disease that exists Many of
the adobe buildings are constructed
with no means of ventilation and
very little light The floors soon be
come loose and dusty and every
movement in the hut raises a cloud
of germ-filled dust.
After the Indian children reach
the school age and are taken to the
school dOrmitOries their health il
preserved with little trouble, but it
is before they reach this age, when
they are infants crawling in the dust,
that the great danger lies. The old
er Indians do not take up with the
cleanly habits which those in charge
of the work endeavor to teach them.
It is only by actually providing them
'"ith sanitary dwellings, and hOspi-
ta!s that they can be made to live
1nder different conditions.
