Report Oh Yakima VALLEY.

The report of the government
engineers on the work in the Yaki-
ma valley up to April q, 1905, has
been given to the public After
stating that he natural flow of the
Yakima river has all been appropri-
ated the report says that with stoi-
age the three projects following are
feasible:
I. The Kittitas project, which
involves the diversion of Yakima
river above the mouth of Gle Elum
river for use on both sides of Yaki-
ma river above and below Ellens-
burg, Waters for this project may
be stored i'll Lakes Kachess and
Keechelus. This project includes
the irrigation of from 10000 to So
900 acres of lanl.
2. Tietan project. Another pro-
ject may be constructed by the di-
version of Tittan river through a
canal and tunnel upon lands lying
ives. of North Yakima in the Cow
lche and Ahtanum valleys. Recon
nolssonce surveys are now in pro-
gress Oh this project.
For this project waters may be
be stored at McAllister Meadows
and Dumping lake. The waters Of
Dumping lake would be used for
bitches already diverting water from
the Naches river to replace Tietan
waters now carried by those bitches.
Some reinforcement to this water
water supply might also be made
storage III Lake Gle Elum for the
use OF Yakima bitches which now
haue a claim upon Tietan waters.
This project would furnish water
to about 40, COO acres of land.
3. a large development is pos j.
BILE by the extension and enlarge
ment Of the present Sunnyside canal
or by building another canal above
and parallel thereto. 1t is estinlat-
ed that this might be made to cover
100000 acres of land of which per
haps tWo-thirds is irrigablc 1t
might be advisable to make this ex-
tension to cover only the upper

lands falling under it and to supply
the other lands from lower diver
sion of the Yakima river i'll the
vicinity Of Prosser. Reconnaissance
surveys are now i'll progress on this
lower line known as the Leadbetter
project.
After discussing the option the
government holds on the Suunyside
canal, good until Dec. 1>t the re-
port concludes with the following
recommendations:
I. We recommend that surveys
be Immediately pushed to determine
The feasibility and cost of water
storage OH Lakes Gle Eiur, Kaches,
keechelus, Dumping lake, McAllis-
ter Meadows and any ether promis-
ing reservoir sites in the Yakima
basin.
? We recommend that an ade-
quate force be immediately assigned
| to the Investigations of the irriga-
ton possibilities from the enlarge
ment and extension of the Sunny
side canal with The vi.w to securing
this system ard its water rights for
the development of the lower Yaki-
ma valley.
3. We recommend the continu-
ance of preliminary surveys to de,
ternllne the feasibility and cost Of
the Kittitas, Cowiche and I.eadbet-
ter projects with the view to select
ing for early construction the one
which appears most feasible.
We have made tentative arrange
ments fer a prompt execution of
these recommendations i'll case they
are approved by you, and we rec
ommend that such approval be
communicated 10 Mr.. 7. A. Noble,
engineer in charge, by telegraph.
4. We recommend that the pro
posed contracts between the irrioa-
tors of the Yakima basin and the
secretary Of the interior attached
hereto, limiting the existing water
rights to present Use be approved
and that the representatives ofthose
irlisa,ors be requested 10 secure the

thus about twice as much can be
raised here as there. Another thing
| in favor of the success of canning
factory here is the freight rate from
the east, which is SO high here, fac
tory would have practically no com
petition for the local market.
Mr.. Fort found that they made big
money on cherries, of the red, pitted
variety. The Pecos Valley cannot be
beaten as cherry growing country
He also found that the Colorado fac
tories turn out the best canned green
peas in the United States. This is
the most remunerative of all their
products, and the pea crop has the
greatest of possibilities. 1t is the
same here, only more So because of
the longer season.
Denver pays freight on the products
it cans. and still the factories there
make big money. Roswell's factory
will draw its supplies from the COM
try Immediately surrounding and
will have no freight rate to pay.
In Rocky Ford Mr.. Fort secured in
formation on the sugar beet PROPOSE
ton. He learned much on the question
of growing, seeding, the cost and
what it will net the farmer. He found
that it costs from SIS to $25 per ac-
re TO raise and deliver the beets and
that an acre yields at least II tons
of beets. The extreme crop is 43 tons
to the acre. The average crop is from
IS to 30 tons per acre. the knowledge
and experience of the grower being
IS great factor as anything else Ia
the size of the crop. The factory pays
s5 per ton for the beets, delivered.
That would make from $50 to 1915
per acre, gross, for the beet crop.
Mr. Fort talked with Oxnard, presi-
dent of the American Beet Sugar
Co. and he assured the man from
Pcswell that there would be plenty of
cash ready to build a factory here
when it was proven that sugar beets
with sufficient saccharine matter can
re raised in the Pecos Valley. His
company is now building a factory
ut Lamar Colorado, and expects to
eventually cover the whole Arkansas
river valley in Colorado with factories
when the fields there are sown In
heets. His company has practically
all the beet sugar factories in the
United States. Mr.. Fort found that The
neople of Colorado, instead Of talking
heir mines and other industries, re-
fer to Colorado as the sugar beet
state of the future. New Mexico can
do the same.
While on HIS trip Mr. Fort met seY
eral of the gentlemen who came here
7 few months ago on the Denver Spe
rial, of the Boosters Club" and they
every one spoke in the highest terms
IF Roswell and its business men. They
said that the town was o. K, and
hat it was one of the places they re-
'nembered most distinctly, although
hey were here only at night. The next
time they come out they are planning
to reach Roswell in day time and to
pend whole day here

Fort Worth Tex. April S.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt arrived here at four
O'Clock this morning after an une-
ventfnl trim from San Antonio.
When the Presidents train entered
the station, an enormous crowd was
on hand and gave him a hearty vel
come. A committee entered the PraSi-
dents car and formally welcomed
him to Fort Worth. Then AT the head
# a big parade he was driven 10 the
'arge square facing the Texas and
Pacific railroad station. The PraSi
dent was everywhere received with
great enthusiasm. When he reached
the square he delivered a brief ad-
dress. The train then left for Yer
non, Texas. With the departure of the
President from Fort Worth the public
part of his trip may be said to have
ended. He will reach Frederick some
time this afternoon and will spend
several days on a hunting trip. The
telegram Office at Frederick has been
enlarged to keen the President in
touch with Washington and other
points.

FIRST IN UNITED STATES.
House is Built in Roswell With &C.
ment Shingles.-Ed Gross is
the Owner.-A Nice One.

The first residence IN the United
States built with a roof of cement
shingles is being erected in Roswell
The residence is the property of Ed
Gross. the cement sidewalk contrac-
tor. and il is located on North Pecos
avenue, between Eighth and Ninth
streets. The cement shingie is some
thing new in the United States. but
it is the intention of the manufactu
rers to make it a thing very common
before many years have passed.
The Gross residence is a neat and
pretty cottage of the bungalow tyne
containing five rooms and bath room
The cement shingle roof sets il off
with striking effect. When completed
and the grounds are improved it will
be one of the prettiest cottages in
the city.
The cement shingle is an interest
ing contrivance. 1t was introduced
here by A. L. W. Nilsson, who brought
the idea here from his native Sweden
and had it patented in the United
States. II is manufactured in his
city by the Roswell Cement Roof Fac
tory, of which Mr.. Nilsson Is mana@-
er and a leading stockholder. A ne

makers is that it will never need any
