and has done much toward neutraliz- ing the efforts of the reservation of hcilas to interest others fn agricul- ture. Tue water shortage has been due to 8 lack of water in n0e streams at certain times of the yeal< aRi to difficulties in keeping diversion dams
 and ditches in operation on account of washouts caused by sudden floods in the rivers and by torrents in the tributary arroyos during heavy rains. In the river valleys many tracts of good land now lying idle could be made productive if sufficient water were obtainable.
 At the request of the Office of h. dian Affairs, Department of the In
 eerior. the United States Geological
 Survey recently made an investiga-
 tion to determine the feasibility of
 developing additional irrigation sup
 plies on this reservation by drilling
 wells. As result of this investiga ton a report by A. IT. Schwennesen entitled Geology and Water Re sources of the Gila and San Carlos ! Valleys in the San Carlos Indian Re sarvation. Arizcna,' has just been i published. This raport describes a series of recent geologic events in l these valleys and shows how these geologic changes have produced con- ditions that are favorable for obtain ! ing artesian water It also contains q

MORE OF cHRtsT's SPIRIT
 IS NEEDED IN THIS NATION

What this nation needs is. more of the spirit of Christ. said Rev. Peter ). .Cuny. preaching at the high mass in St. Patftck's church Sunday. And this spirit is one of service, of love for others, of sacrifice.
 The preacher was considsrins the outlook from the first Sunday Of the new year. While it was wise a week
 ago to review the year that was wan
 Ing it is well now to look into the
 future with feelings of optimism. The past has had it's record of sins and fallinss: but. having repented for them. there should now be the boDe- fui spirit which will insure meeting the evils of the coming year with courage and strength fo overcome them because we are living as Christ would have US, namely, doing our best from day to day.
 It is well that Christians cannot foresee the whole future which lies before them, otherwise they would grow discoura seds seeking to conquer l all the evils at once. Christ has said, ! Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. By. realizing that the present 1 is ours, and by employing each day as the Saviour would have wished. the future need have no telrors.
 This disposition Of our days. if pat
 termed upon the life of Christ. will 1 mean Service. love for others. sacrifice 1 --aithough this last is so opposed to 1 the spirit of a selfish world With our I elegan for the opening year New Love l for Christ, our resolution to follow in l the footsteps of cur Divine Leader.
