The secretary Of interior recently let
the contracts for the largest irrigation
reservoir dam in the world.
1t is to be called the Roosevelt dam.
Near 1t is a new town, also called
Roosevelt. Both are situated in Ari-
iona, about seventy miles above Phoe-
nix, on the Salt River, near its junction
with Tonic Creek.
The dam is the main feature of one
of the largest of the government fri
cation projects. 1t Is located In a can
yon Of the Salt River, just below its
junction with the small tributary
above named. 1t will be 27O feet high,
21O feet long, 165 feet thick at the
base, and 10 feet wide on top.
This dam will create a lake twenty
five miles long and between a mile and
a half and two miles in wldth-the
largest artificial reservoir in the world.
1t will be constructed of broken range
cyclopean rubble" and Portland ce-
ment. The stone of which it will be
built will be quarried from the walls

Free Electricity.
Electricity for night work will be
furnished free by the government. The
waters Of the Salt River have been
temporarily harnessed to an electric
power plant, which develops 4,40O
horsepower, by means of a turbine,
under a head Of 900 feet fall. The
power thus developed runs a cement
mill and does all the hosting, drilling.
digging, etc, for the construction of
the dam.
The cement mill Is located about
1000 feet from the dam site, and has
been equipped with all the most mod
ern machinery for making Portland ce-
ment. Clay Is taken from the ground
within a mile from the mill, and one
corner Of the mill stands on a bed of
limestone, which is one of the prin-
,clpal ingredients. Close at hand are the
sand and other materials from which

driven through the side of the can
yon, and through which the waters
Of the Salt and Tonic Rivers will be
diverted while the dam is being built.
1t is estimated that the dam will be
completed in about two years.
The excess water from the enor-
nous reservoir will be sent through
pipes into water wheels or turbines,
and the power generated will be taken
sixty to seventy miles distant to cen
trifugal pumps, by which other water
will be raised to higher planes in the
Salt River valley. 1t is estimated that
each horsepower developed will irri-
gate ten acres, at a distance of sixty
miles. An area of no less than 80, 900
acres Is to be reclaimed by this sub
sidiary power project.

to Globe may be inferred from the
fact that in some places, where it ira
verses the Salt River canyon, 1t is cut
through solid rock sixty to seventy
feet deep, while Fish Creek hill is
climbed at the base Of vertical cliffs
600 feet high, where rock cuts sixty
and seventy feet deep and fills Of an
equal height were necessary. Some
portions Of the road cost at the rate
of $4,000 a mile. During the st ort
period while 1t was under construction
100000 pounds Of freight were hauled
over 1t.
To Use Hydraulic Gates.
The waters of this Roosevelt dam
will be controlled by the largest hy-
draulic gates ever built. With their
controlling mechanism, they will
weigh 100000 pounds. When the reser-
voir is full, they will be capable of
discharging 10000 cubic feet Of water

supply of water In canals fifty miles

ward of 100000 acres of land in the
vicinity Of Phoenix will be reclaimed.
Most Of this land Is now in private
ownership. In fact, practically all the
land which will be furnished by the
gravity system-that is, without pump
ing-is embraced in the lands of the
Water Users Association, a voluntary
organization of the settlers who are
to be benefited by this work, and
which has pledged 200, 900 acres to the
government to guarantee the repay
ment Of the cost of the work. The
land to be reclaimed by pumping is
still public domain, and it is not likely
that there will be water for 1t within
three years.
Settlers Arriving Already.
Officials Of the reclamation service
are not encouraging settlers to go and
take up homesteads in the public do
main in the vicinity of the Salt River
project. But, nevertheless, settlers are
going in even now, and pre-empting
homestead rights under the national ir-
rigation act. After filing claim they
build their houses and do what they
can to comply with the law in regard
to bringing half Of the eighty acre
tract under cultivation. OF course,
they can grow nothing until they have
the water, and it is required by law

FIGHTING ORANGE WORM.
Mexican Growers Burn Infected Trees
and Fruit.

and Fruit.
The measures recommended by the
commission on agricultural parasitol-
ogy for combating the plague Of or
ange worms, are being carefully fol-
lowed now by orange growers Of the
Yautepec district, Morelos, says the
Mexican Herald, who have seen the
splendid results obtained in other dis
tricts where the same plague made it's
appearance.
In many Of the haciendas of the dis
trict big furnaces have been construct
ed to burn all infected oranges and
trees, which, so far, has been found TO
be the surest means to destroy the
germs of the plague. Another means
followed is the sanitation Of the fields
by the sprinkling upon the ground and
plants the solutions recommended for
this object.
1t is expected that If all orange rails
ers Of the district take good care of
their plantations and accurately fol-
low the instructions of the commits
sion on parasitology the plague will
promptly and completely be stamped
out.
Orange growers Of several districts
Of Morelos are those who have been
troubled most by this plague. On more
than n occasion their crops have been
greatly reduced by the plague. The
same plague made its appearance In
Sonora some time ago, but there 1t
was successfully combated and stamp
ed out. At the same time orange grow
ers Of that region have been making
efforts to improve the quality Of their
fruit and they are meeting with sue
cess.
At present Sonora oranges are being
sold almost all over the country. not
only because Of their good quality, but
because of their low price. The crop
this year, in fact, has been so abun-
dant in Sonora that in Hermosillo and
other big cities Of the State oranges
are being sold at 8 cents per dozen,
and the best quality at 8 cents Der
dozen. Large quantities Of oranges
are also being exported to the United
States, where they find a good mar
ket,

DEVICE TO COUNT COINS.
Machine Does the Work and Takes tho
Place of Trained Brains.

Machine Does the Work and Takes tho
Place of Trained Brains.
Almost everyone, from the million
aires of Wall street down to the hum
blest ~bOotblack, has felt the necessity
OF making money quickly and easily,
the counting Of 1t being a matter of
secondary Importance. However, the
coin of the realm was produced,
whether in the form of bright copper
pennies or $1,000 gold certificates, it
would seem like throwing the gauntlet
down to fate to object to counting
them. Yet there are times and condi-
tons when men long for a machine
capable Of counting their money for
them. Hence the electric motor coin
counter and wrapping machine.
The object Of such a device Is OBJ
viously to facilitate the rapid and &C.
curate counting and bundling of coins
of all descriptions, from pennies to
dollars, since there are many lines of
business which necessitate the employ
ment Of a large staff or clerks whose
sole duty heretofore has been the per-
Torrance Of this laborious task.
The machine counts and wraps coins
at the rate of seven every second, or
400 coins every minute and does this
continuously as long as the motor runs
and coins are fed into the hopper. The
coins are wrapped compactly at the
rate of from eight to twelve bundles
per minute, according to the size of
the coins.
Since an expert is enabled to count
and wrap only fifty coins a minute
manually, it will be seen that the ma
chine will do at least as much work
as eight men.
1t is true that each machine requires
an operator, whose work consists of a
mere cursory examination of the coins
to see that there are no plugged pieces,
iron washers and lead money mixed
with good money. The speed of the
machine is limited only by the ability
Of the operator to detect the spurious
coins. When the machine is in opera
ton the coins are laid upon a table to
facilitate examination, when they are
dropped into a hopper, whence they
slide through a conduit down into the
active mechanism, where they are
pushed into a row.
AS the coins reach the wrapper a
roll Of paper is fed by three driving
rolls placed around the bundle of
coins. By a rolling motion the paper
Is wrapped around the coins twice.
when it Is cut off by a V-shaped knife.
The next and finishing process is turn
ing in the projecting edges Of the
wrapper, which is done by means of
crimpers, drawing the edges in oppo
site directions and finally turning out
a smoothly rolled package held firmly
in place without the use of paste
