 Towering orchards of oranges. lemons and olives are on all sides. Altogether
 1t would be hard to find d more four
 ishing community in the country and
 this metamorphosis was brought about
 merely by the scientific distribution of
 water. Not satisfied with the wonders already worked, the Government Is constructing a colossal dam in u narrow gorge some sixty miles from Phoenix,
 at the junction of the Salt River and ~Tonto Creek. This dam Is 265 feet
 high, 7S0 feet wide, 158 feet thick at
 the bottom and 16 feet at the top.
 Volumes could be filled describing the wonderful results given wherever irrigation Is tried. There Is the fam ous, or rather infamous, Death Valley Pof California, in comparison to which a few years ago even the Sahara Desert seemed hospitable. In places once as forbidding as that valley there are now farms, orchards and vineyards crowded closely on one another The pictur- esque but barren country around Cody in the southwestern part of the Big Horn Country of Wyoming, Is being made over into fertile fields and pro- ductive gardens by means of dams and canalS dlOnB the Stlnkln6 WdlSE I4NSIS. It is In Wyoming, by the way, that the Government will build the highest dam in the world. In the eastern part of Montana, the most sparsely settled part of the West, the Government is constructing a hugh 'ditch," which will run from near Glendive almost to the Missouri River, and which will furnish the yellow water of the Yellowstone River to all who are fortunate enough to get "homesteads" along It's route.
 That irrigation has been and will be of incalculabls benefit to the West, and for that matter to the whole United States is self evident; and the toilers of the West have every right to pat themselves on the back for the great results that have been achieved in so short q time. However. the farmer of the West does not fail to give credit for these vast results to those men, who, in the face of bitter opposition, dog gedly aided and promoted the move- ment for irrigation, until the hostile and sceptical public had to admit that irrigation was essential to the develop ment of the West.
 These men were the managers and directors of the pioneer Western rail roads. With that wisdom and fore sight that has always characterized the great majority of the men who have controlled the destinies of our larger they saw the tremendous im- petus that would be given to the devel- opment of the West if irrigation could be successfully established. So, know ing that a well settled and prosperous means trafic for the roads and trafae means revenues, they banded to- zethar and sat to work systematically

l five acres of alfalfa" of that vivid
 green which is only seen on the painted | trees that come in childrens Noah's Arks, it seems like a mirage almost As you lie on your back under the
 "cotton-woods" puffing tobacco smoke while your pony is doing his best to | fill in the interstices between his ribs l with cool, rich alfalfa. you fervently bless that wise old farmer of ancient
 days who first hit upon the idea of irri- gation and thus made possible such "oases" as you are then enjoying
 During the late eighties of the last century the national Government began to investigate the possibilities of scientific irrigation. The result of this investigation was the discovery that there were from 125, 100000 to 200.000,- 900 acres of the vast waste lands of the West susceptible to reclamation by ir- rigation an area six times that of the improved farm lands of the New Eng land States. New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro- lima, Georgia and Florida combined.
 Since that time the Government has been more or less interested in irrigat- ing projects. but 1t was not until Theo- dore Roosevelt became the head of the nation that the task of changing our 'SSOAS'S u|SSItS lulO Saruen SpOtS "dS undertaken in systematic and earnest manner The President, aftcr becom- ing convinced of the enormous benefits that would accrue to the West from irrigation conducted on a large scale, urged it upon Congress in his first message, in his strenuous fashion, and that august body became imoued with some of his own enthusiasm and voted large appropriations to carry on the work of retaining Natures waste places in our Western territory. With the large fund available under the National Irrigation Act, the work has been pushed along vigorously and ef- tectlvely, with the result that today works are being built to reclaim more than million acres of arid land which will be made to yield bumper crops" .of both cereals and forage stuff.
 One of the most remarkable feats of reclamation being put through by the Government engineers, is that of the Salt River Valley In Arizona. Nearly quarter of a century ago the Salt River Valley. a part of the Great Amer lean desert, was as desolate a spot as the world could show. Today that same valley sunnorts a panulattan of
