ALICE ROOSEVELT TO WE'D.
HAr Engagement to Nicholas Long.
worth Announced.

Washington.-Pre and Mrs
Roosevelt announce the engagement
of their daughter, Miss Alice Lee
Roosevelt, to Mr.. Nicholas Longworth.
The wedding will take place the middle
of February.
1t has been decided that the wedding
shall take place in the White house.
The officiating clergyman will be
Bishop Satterlee of the Episcopal
church, resident here. The wedding
day has been fixed for the fifteenth OF
February, which is one day late for St.
Valentines day.
An interesting feature of the future
plans of Miss Roosevelt is that she
has decided to live in Washington. Mr.
Longworth Is very wealthy, and 1t Is
believed that Miss Roosevelt will live
here at least as long ms her father oc'
cupies the White House,
1t has been planned that the bridal
trip shall be made next June, when Mr..
and Mrs. Longworth will go abroad.
They will so first to London, where
they will be the guests of Ambassador
Reid.
Miss Roosevelt is about 20 years of
age, and is the only child of the Pres:-
dent by his first marriage.
She made her bow to society at n
ball given in 1902 at the White House.
Mr.. Longworth is well known. He is
the son of Nicholas Longworth of Gin.
cinnati. graduate of Harvard, club.
man, and popular.
II Is understood here that Mr.. Long.
worth and Miss Roosevelt met in New
York about three years ago at the
horse show. Mr.. Longworth has called
often at the White House, and this was
the origin of the reports that the CON
gressman and the Presidents daugh'
ter were engaged. Then, again, last
summer Miss Roosevelt paid a visit to
the Longworths in Ohio, and the en-
gagement was again spoken of. The
report became almost certainty at
the time of the trip Miss Roosevelt and
Mr.. Longworth made with the Taft
party to the Orient during the summer
and fall.
The marriage of Alice Roosevelt and
Congressman Longworth will be the
third celebrated in the White House.
The first was that of Dolly Madison In
1915. During the first term of Grover
Cleveland he was married to Frances
Folsom. The ceremony vas state az
fair, held in the blue room, which was
beautifully decorated for the occasion.

RECLAMATION. WORK.
Enterprises In Hand to Reclaim 1905.
GOO Acres Of Arid Land.

Washington.-The secretary of the
Interior has recently approved two
new reclamation projects. One, which
will be partly in Texas and partly in
New Mexico, is called the Rio Grande
project: the other, which will be
wholly in New Mexico, will be called
the Carlsbad project. The two addi-
tional projects will bring the num-
ber OF reclamation schemes up to TWEEN
ty-four. OF these eleven are well un-
der way. They provide for the recla-
nation of 100000 acres of arid lands
at a cost of $37,02S,571. These are big
figures and they represent big projects.
On June 80, 1905, the total cost Of
construction and engineering work per-
formed by the reclamation service, to-
gether with the administration eX-
penses, amounted to $5,462, ,169. On
that 52te the reclamation fund had
reached a total of $28.02S,571. 1t was
estimated at that time that the re-
ceipts for the fiscal years 1906-190S
would amount to $9,000,000, SO that
the sum of money available for recla-
nation purposes up to the end OF 1908
will be s37,O2S,571.
Since the work Of reclamation began
n miles of main canals have been con-
structed and 81 miles of distributing
canals, as well as 1856 miles of bitches
and 147 bridges. Over 9,350.0O0 cubic
yards of earth have been excavated
and three and one-half miles of tunnel
driven. The telephone lines installed
have measured $50 miles and the roads
built have covered 1876 miles. 1t has
been necessary to erect fifty offices
and other buildings. One cement mill
has been constructed, the product of
which already amounts to $4,000 bar.
rels. Besides the cement manufac-
tured by the reclamation service, use
has been found for $4,000 additional
barrels of cement, which were pur.
chased in open market. Over 2,SS0,00O
feet b. NJ. of lumber have been sawed
for the work of construction and 1,750,-
900 feet b. NJ. in addition have been
purchased. The concrete completed
amounts to 10000 cubic yards, the pud-
ding done to $500 cubic yards, and
the rip-rap completed to 10000 cubic
yards, and the paving to 10000 square
feet. The railroad iron used amounts
to 10000 pounds, the structural steel
to 25O,O0O pounds, the cast iron to 6O0,-
900 pounds. The sheet piling driven
has amounted to 100000 lineal
feet, the bearing piles to 10000 lineal
feet.
These figures will give some idea OF
the gigantic size of the enterprise
which the engineers of the reclamation
service have In hand in the reclama-
ton of 1903, 500 acres of arid land.
