 Washington D. C-Edgar B. Ner- ritt assistant commissioner of Indian affairs has Just 1rough, to successful termination one of the most persts tent rights for conservation ever ear. ried on in the Indian office As re suit instead of an irrigation dam slt' being turned oyer 10 a railroad eem pan4 in Arizona, jt NiG be ased IS the basis of an irrigation proiee0 which will bring under water tract ot land estimated as worth $22,5oeooo, Nr Merritt carried on his fight single handed.
 In l9lO the southern Pacific Rail road Company sought To acquire q right of way across san Carlos In dian reservation and along the Gila river. Had the right of way been granted the possibilities of the now assured irrigation project would have been blocked for all tune.
 In the course of unWJudIHg official red tape. the matter came 10 the desk of Mr. Merritt then law clerk Of the Indian office He went into the mat ter thoroughly and said h. vas against the grant, Twice army engi Eeers and once private engineers pass ed on the proposed site and reported that dam site was not feasible. Two government bureaus were also against MT. Merritts position
 Mr Merritt however. managed 10 hold the case up until the mater could be put up to the House committee on Indian affairs. This committee. through the efforts Of Chairman Stephens, recommended all ap9ropria tion of $15,o0o for an investigation by a board of army engineers
 The engineers have just male re port, which confirms Mr. Merritt in his contention. and the big irrigation project will be cousummated
