'Pacifying the Yaqui Indians solves
the greatest problem Sonora has had
to INSET" he said. These Indians
have been a thorn in the side OF the
Sonora and Mexican governments for
eighty years. The trouble dates back
to the old Spanish days when the
land which the Indians rightfully
claimed was theirs was taken from
them.
I'VE have finally succeeded in
satisfying them by restoring the
lands TO them and providing them
with food, clothing and materials for
farming This was accomplished
through the efforts OF president de
la Huerta, secretary Of war Gales
and myself.
''Yaqui chiefs recently assured me
that the Indians are completely paci-
fled and ready to settle down and
grow crops on reservation lands We
have prodived for them The gov
eminent has set aside between 10000
and $4,000 acres Of the finest land in
the famous YaQui valley for their
use as a reservation"
