Psrker Is Waitina

Parker Is Waiting
 The establishment of the townsite of Parker, within the Indian reserva- tion, by the government in 1910. and the general understanding at the time that the surplus lands of the reser- vation would soon thereafter be re- leased to entry, caused a great rush of bona fide settlers to that section from every part of the United States.
 Many bought town lots and engaged in business with the intention of re- maining there permanently, but as time passed and nothing further was done with reference to the reservation the most of these people disposed of their holdings or abandoned them and left for other parts. Quite a number re- mained, however, and it would seem, according to late developments. that their fondest hopes would at last be realized, when in 1918 congress ap propriated S50,000 for the purpose of surveys and the preparation of plans and estimates for a complete irrigation system to supply water to the lands of the reservation.
 Field Work Completed
 The field work for this survey has recently been finished and completed plans will be ready for the submission to the interior department by June 1. At this time 1t is expected that the government will be in position to take definite action, looking to the utiliza- ton by the people of this immense tract of ideal farming land.
 Just what disposition will be made of these lands-whether they will be released to general entry. or opened under the soldiers settlement plan has not yet been determined. How ever, as a place for the establishment of homes for returned soldiers a more favorable locality could not be found. The climate is similar to that of Yuma E.TT =o1f 4cvt7 m en and Sc tinguished by the warm summers, the mild equable winters and year-round growing season. The winters are so mild that a person can live in the open the entire year without any evil ef- fects therefrom.
 Three or four good rains during the winter is about the limit of the pre- cipitation, and blighting frosts never appear, while such a thing as fog-the bane of those suffering from pulmon- ary trouble-is never seen there, and many invalids going to that section have found immediate and permanent relief. There is no place where the sun shines brighter and sets at the close of day in a more gorgeous pa geantry, or where the moon glows with it's silvery rays more enchantingly, or where the stars appear to dance for joy in clear sky; or where more euuable adjustment of climatic con ditions could be found than in that divinely favored locality. These reasons if for no other ought to make that locality the ideal spot for the home-soldier or the homeseeker. But there are many other reasons for com. Tuen&ng it to favorable consideration
 Possibilities Are Unlimited
 The possibilities of the Parker coun- try are virtually unlimited. With the throwing open of reservation to set tiers, millions of dollars would be added

 The great possibilities in sight through the develop ent and settlement of 15O 900 acres of fertile lands in the Colorado River Indian reservation, and the fact that the most of this vast area lies within the borders of Arizona has aroused the interest of the entire state.

INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE HERB TO-DAY
TEN IF THE CHIEF
 FACTS ABOUT SAN
 CARLOS PROJECT

i. The San Carlos project con- templates the impoundlng of the rich flood waters of the Gila river behind a great storage dam few miles below San Carlos, Arizona.
 2. A 220-foot dam at San Car los will make a lake thirty square miles in area.
 8. Tie waters thus impounded would cover 1.335,926 acres of land F inches deep.
 4 Such a dam would cost ap- proximately ten million dollars.
 ,. This amount of water q 335,- 926 acre fee) would be sufficient to provide ample irrigation the year around for approximately 20o,- coo acres of fertile land.
 G. Such ar acreage could be greatly increased with the enor- nous return flow as the project grows older.
 '. The irrigation of this area would so raise the water level un- der adjoining lands, not in the project, as to make pumping easily feasible upon an additional 100000 acres.
 8. The fertilizing value of the Gila River silts in solution enriches the land at the estimated rate of $5.O0 per acre each year.
 9. The life of 220-foot dam is estimated by the U. $. army board of engineers to be 223 years if nothing at all were done to remove the silt
 10 The average volume of water passing through the San Carlos dam site from Oct. 1. 1914, to Oct. 1. 1917. exceeded one millian acre feet per annum.
 II. The depth to bed rock at the San Carlos dam site is only 20 feet, the shalIowest of any propect in the west.
 12. The bed rock and canyon wall is composed of land quartz ite-a rock of finest quality to sup port a great masonry dam.

INDIAN RESERVATION
 ABOUT PARKER HOLD
 HUGE RICH ACREAGE

The Colorado River Indian reserva- ton lies in the Colorado River val ley, and embraces an area of PAP. .710.61 acres of land lying in Arizona and California. The area lying in Arizona is in the northwestern part of Yuma county and the area in California lies in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
 The Colorado river flows in a south westerly direction through the north half of the reservation to a point four miles south of Riverside Mountains, from which point it flows in a gen.

annually to the wealth of the state and nation. The soils Of the bottom land along the Colorado river vary from a light sandy loam, with occasional small areas of clay, sand and adobe. The warm sandy soils, which embrace the greater part of this area, are especially well adapted to cultivation under irrigation. All the land is under laid with a thick stratum of sand or fine gravel at no great depth, which fact will conduce to it's drainages and thus prevent any trouble from aka line salts.
 The mesa or table lands are well suited to the growth of citrus and deciduous fruits, and the grape does especially well there because of the deep, loose gravelly soil. The finest kind of oranges and lemons can be produced with no danger to the crop from frosts, while fruits indigenous only to the tropics, such as dates and bananas, may be grown there also.
 The lowlands stretching for 35 miles to the south and west of Parker, would make a Veritable paradise for the cul- tivation of garden truck, such as corn. beans. cabbage, lettuce, watermelons onions. turnips. carrots, parsnips, po- tatoes, and in fact all vegetables used for household consumption.

 Boats ply up and down from Parker and the stream is navigable at all times of the year for craft of light draft The townsite which contains more than 973 acre, is situated on a ! mesa al sufficient elevation to catch the summer breezes from whichever point of the compass they may blow, and the ground is as level as a floor and well adapted to the maintenance of the best sanitary drainage.
