CONGRESS GIVES ARIZONA
 INDIANS MUCH MONEY

The Indian Appropriation Bill, which passed the House of Representa- tives February 8, contains appropria- tions aggregating nearly $500,O00, for the benefit of the Indians in Arizona. The Phoenix Indian school is allotted $139, 900, and the schools at Fort Mo- jave and Truxton Canyon are allowed SAP, 300, and $21 200, respectively for the support and education of Indian pupils. $1OO,000 is also appropriated to cary out the treaty with the Navajo Nation whereby the United States agree to provide school facilities for the children of this tribe.
 The following amounts have been appropriated for irrigation work on the various reservations, $20,000 at Sacaton, $l5,0O0 at Parker, and $3,000 at Ganado. $20,000 is allotted for sink ing wells on the Papago reservation and $25,OO0 may be used for the same purpose in the Navajo country. $2O,' 900 has been appropriated to pay for the first installment due from the In- dians on the Salt River reservation near Tempe for their share of the cost of the construction of the Roose- welt reservoir.
 The county of Navajo will receive S15,0O0 for one-half of the cost of a bridge across the Little Colorado ri- yer near Winslow and S17,000 has been appropriated to construct three additional spans to connect with the bridge recently built by the Indian Service across the Gila river near Naches in Graham county. The re- cent floods on the Gila washed out the southern approach to the Naches bridge so that three new spans are necessary.
 The amendments offered by Con gressman Hayden authorizing the con- struction of two diversion dams on the Gila river for the purvose of irri- gating private or public lands in Pinal county and the Indian lands on the Pima reservation were stricken from the bill on points of order. It is ex- pected that the Senate will restore these items to the Indian bill so that appropriations will be made for building these dams.
