ing 1t to his audience as to whether
the lands in the valley would justify
this annual cost.
Finally Mr.. Newell said that he
could not say that the engineers Of
the reclamation SERVICE would rec
ommend any storage dam in the Rio
Grande valley. He pointed out as
evidence that the government must go
slow that all irrigation enterprises
built by private enterprise in America
thus far, had been failures. Within
the past eight months, he said, the
department had conducted investiga-
.tions in the Rio Grande valley, at the
Honao reservoir site, at triton Lake,
on the Las Vegas grant and in the
San Juan valley in the hunt for de-
finite data, b. NJ. Hall. he said, had
been placed in charge of all the pre-
liminary work now under way in New
Mexico.

As a reason for the promptness
with which the government has taken
up the work in the Salt River valley.
he said that whereas in Now Mexico
there were many projects which could
be considered feasible and which de-
manded consideration. in Arizona
there was but one and that in the Tom
to basin. AS o further reason he
said there were no obstacles of any
kind in the way and that thegpeople
had not only ceded sufficient land to
the government to Justify the building
of the reservoir but had aided the
service in every way in bringing the
project to the point of construction,

One part of photographer NewelIs
address at Albuquerque is of special
interest, He is quite impressed regard
ing the value of pumping n saio
that while pumping was expensive
and while it had thus far not always
been successful, yet he grew more and
more enthusiastic over its possibili.
ties every day.
He said, so broad were the terms OF
the reclamation act, that the govern
ment, were it feasible, had the power
to build and operate a great power sta
ton to furnish power for pumping wa
ter sufficient 10 irrigate a large area,
He suggested the possipnIty of the
establishment of such a plant in n OF
the nearby coal camps, where fuel
would be cheap for the transmission
Of the power to community wells or to
individual wells through the valley.
He believed the underflow here to be
used for many years without lowering
it ~perceptibly,
Turning TO rough estimate of the
cost of establishment OF such a plant
to supply water to forty thousand
acres of land, he thought the cost
might be approximately $25 an acre
and this under the systems of ten per
cent payments each year to reimburse
the goyernment until the total tlfs'
cost had been met. would be S2eoo
a year ser acre. He added TO THIS
a cost of approximately Sl.50 an acre
for maintenance and operation oil the
power plant. He concluded Dy ieaN'

ST. LOUIS, June Tine maghi-
tude and Importance Of the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition as a school
Of instruction to the people OF the
United states Is fully appreciated BY
the government which has many in
teresting and instructive exhibits. The
Bureau OF Forestry has an exhibit
in the government building, its pur-
pose being to illustrate the work
which the bureau is doing and TO show
actual forest Conditions in all parts
OF the country.
The importance of preserving our
forests is receiving much considera-
ton and Worlds Fair visitors are
given object lessons showing them
what practical forestry is and how
the forests can be preserved n
maintained.
The American lumber interests are
very extensive and are important ma
tlonal sources of wealth. The for
must be protected and pfeserS-
order TO continue the lumber
industry. and as a means Of aiding the
farmer the forests figure in many
WAYS. With the enlargement oil the
cultivated area and the improved
methods Of farming by irrigation the
degree of dependence upon The Tor
ests Is becoming more appreciable.
The government has three separate
forestry exhibits at the fair. One n
in the government building proper
another in the Forestry, Fish and
Game building in which Is centered
exhibits OF the great lumber Industry
OF the country and a third is an out
door exhibit. A complete ami attrac
tive collection of Photographic trans
parencies illustrating forest problems
and conditions as they exist IN ~
United States. Among the features
shown are the tree planting, cutting
Of forests and theii renewal BY ma ufa
reproduction, forest painting III tree

!. ests have been DESTROYED by various
agencies. These pictures form an IN
teresting display.
The various implements and IN
struments used In connection with iei
est destruction, and the insect
which destroy trees, are also exhibit
ed. Methods of testing the strengt
of woods are also shown IN this co
lection.
An extensive outdoor forestry e
hibit Is another of the features {

bureau. Two and a half acres az
given 10 tree planting and scientifi

and preserve forests, and the bes
forms Of windbreaks, made OF tree
