A Mistake Needing Remedy

One OF the many noteworthy acts Of the Wilson
administration the allotment, about a year ago
OF large part Of the southern half Of Pima county
Arizona to the PapagO Indians reservation. The
reservation thus created young empire, 32t5OOO
acres IN extent It included only great tracts of
fine grazing land, for the Fapagos herders but
also great deal Of agricultural land and large part
of the mineral land county Of which Tucson is
the county seat.
Many cattemen deprived of their range facil-
tiles by the executive order, and many mining claims
which might become mines by proper development
IN the hands Of the Indians who neither
them nor know how to develop them if they de-
sired.
Having made more or less a muddle all around, the
government may partly undo the mischief. Agents
in Tucson conducting a hearing a petition
reduce the Of the reservation by 100000
in such way to restore the mineral land TO the
public domain and at least allow the county
struct road from Tucson to the big mining camp
Ajo, from which the reservation cuts off the
county seat.
For the sake Of great convenience of the public it
is to be hoped that the government fit to remedy
the situation The Indians, who prone to
all the way from Phoenix to the Mexican border, will
find 100000 much they utilize. If
compelled to make choice between reinquishing the
mineral land and being obliged TO develop 1t, they
would require very little time in announcing a de-
cison
large amount of trouble, many complaints and
gent investigation of the needs of the Indians been
made before the land allotment made.

SAYS GIVE WOMAN the BALLOT

Editor Fl Paso Herald
The hope las been expressed that a
memorial might be established to COM
memorate the loyalty and devotion of
southern women. A fitting recognition
Of their services, and the most express
Sive and enduring monument would be
the giving OF the elective franchise 10
women as a gift OF gratitue There
can DE no greater testimony OF admir-
alton than the gift Of freedom and
freedom conferred upon southern wo-
men by southern men would have a
meaning far more significant than a
monument of bronze or marble.
English men are preparing 10 re-
ward English women by giving them
the ballot as an acknowledgement Of
services rendered during the war now
in progress.
VIII the men OF the south remain ar
rOganuy silent while men of foreign
nations pay to the women OF their
households this tribute of respect for
services willingly accepted

Surprising The Natives

Of value IN showing the home folks what Is raised

1t IS stated that farmers Of the valleys contiguous
70 FL PasO, viewing the valley products as shown in
the exposition, were almost amazed At the display.
Having viewed the approach of the exposonS opening
with measure OF indifference, and having taken no
general interest in the work Of securing local exhibits
they prepared to see so credtable collection
Of products They did not know what the valley could
do, and their eyes having been opened, they
seeing for the first time.
For FL Paso residents, this goes double. Farmers
had some idea of the valleys productivity City dwell
erS however, had next TO It required something
like this exposition TO show what our own people
doing More than that We are witnessing the &C
compishments of many sections Of the southwest We
have opportunity and to compare One cannot

conception and greater admiration Of COun-
Try and its products.
