NDIANS HAVE CLAIMS RIGHT .TO .IRRIGATION .WATERS RECOGNIZED BY COMMITTEE. Proposal Made That Each One on Yakima Reserve Receive Flow Enopch fa 40 Acres. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec 28. Every Indian on the Yakima Reservation in Washington will be furnished water sufficient to Irrigate half his allotment, or 40 acres, If Congress makes an appropriation recommended by the joint Senate and House committee which made an in vestigation of irrigation conditions on the Yakima Reservation last Summer. This committee recommends an appro priation of 1600,000 to furnish water to each allotted Indian ample for 40 acres, but water for the remaining 40 acres of each allotment must be paid for the same as water furnished to private lands under the Sunnyside project, on the opposite side of the river. The committee believes a grave In justice has been done the Yakima and associated Indians by the Government in depriving them of waters and water privileges necessary in the cultivation of the irrigable lauds on the Yakima Reservation and to which the Indians equitably and in good faith are enti. tied," says tha committee in Its report to Congress. "We also believe that it is the duty of Congress to set a prece dent for Justice and fair dealing by promply righting this wrong." The committee finds that under the ... f ifi Q th. Yakima Indians ha v an equitable claim to suffk?ient water to irrigate at least 40 acreS per capita and Inasmuch as most of the waters of Yakima River have been appropriated by white settlers and not sufficient water has been left in the river to ir rigate Indian lands ''to the extent named, that Congress should, by direct appropriation, furnish them water, without cost, for 40 acres of land each. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock some years ago ruled that the Yakima Indians were entitled to 147 second-feet of water, not enough to enable them to irrigate any considerable portion of their lands. Secretary Fisher under took to Justify the ruling of Secretary Hitchcock and both secretaries are criticised by tha committee. WIFE SUES H. C.
