Secretary Hitchcock Declares Irrigation
of Paramount Importance
HE RECOMMENDS EARLY ACTION
Conservation of Water Snpply and Recla
mation of Arid Ianl8 Are the Vital
Want of tho United States Oar Other
Interests
WASHINGTON Nov 25 The an
nual report of Secretary Ethan Allen
Hitchcock of the Interior department
aws made public today It endorses
the conclusions submitted by Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs Jones regard
ing the present Indian educational sys
tem The secretary says
The management of the Indian ser
vice in the field and in the schools
while satisfactory under existing con
ditions is not deemed to be the best
for the welfare of the Indians and
different methods will hereafter be
adopted This policy as hereinafter
indicated contemplates requiring the
working by Indian allottees able to do
so of a fair portion of lands allotted
them and the contributing by their
industry to their own support of all not
entirely disqualified by actual disabil
ity physical or otherwise the discon
tinuance of the issue of rations to
those known and determined to be
able to support themselves and the
extension to the latter of every pos
sible aid for their well being and en
couragement the inauguration of in
dustrial training in all schools where
not now established so that such In
dians of both sexes may be taught the
trades or industries adapted to their
circumstances
The Income of the various In
dian tribes from all sources during the
year aggregated 5338880 a falling
off of 260952 mostly due to the ex
piration of treaty obligations In the
future full leasing privileges will be
confined to those whose disability or
inability actually disqualifies them
from working more than a small part
of their allotments those conditions
to be clearly shown all other allottees
to be required to work at least forty
acres of their allotment
On the Question of reclamation of
the arid region the secretary says
The investigations which have been
carried on demonstrate that there is
no one question now before the peo
ple of the United States of greater im
portance than the conservation of the
water supply and the reclamation of
the arid lands of the west and their
settlement by men who will actually
build homes and create communities
It is recommenced that construction
at once be begun as follows
The San Carlos storage reservoir re
claiming 100000 acres or more of pub
lic lana at an estimated cost of 1
040000 reservoirs in the Sierra Ne
vada in California for reclaiming des
ert lands in Nevada the division of
St Mary river into tne headwaters of
Milk river in Montana An appropri
ation of 2o0000 is asked to carry on
the hydrographic work of the peolog
ical survey
The report says that the act of June
3 1887 known as the timber and stone
act if not repealed or radically amend
ed will result ultimately in the com
plete destruction of the timber on the
unappropriated and unreserved public
lands The time has arrived accord
ing to the secretary when reservoirs
must be built and managed as a part
of a national system of water conser
vation They cannot be successful it
maintained however without a thor
ough system of forest protection The
introduction of practical forestry on
the forest reserves has now begun
The general policy as announced In
an outline memorandum to the com
missioner of the land office is that ad
ditional forest reserves with bounda
ries drawn to liberate the small
amount of script should be created
during this winter the good will of
residents in the reserves should be
gained forest fires guarded against
and the resources of the reserves
should be made available for the con
servative use of the people
