Mr.. Roosevelt became the head of
tho nation that the task of changing
our desolate deserts into garden spots
was undertaken in a systematic and
earnest manner. The president, af
ter becoming convinced of the enorm-
Gus 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 be-
came imbued with some of his own en-
thusiasm and voted large appropria-
tons TO carry on the work of reclaim
ing natures waste places in our west
ern territory. With the large fund
available under the national irriga-
ton t. the work has been pushed
along Vigorously and effectively, with
the II nit fiat today works are being
bull; reclaim more than a million
acres If land which will be made
to yield bumper crops of both
cereals and forage stuff.

of reclamation being put through by
the government engineers, is that of
the salt river valley in Arizona.
Nearly a quarter of a century ago the
Salt River Valley, a part of the great
American desert, was so desolate a
spot as the world could show Today
that same valley supports a population
CT over $4,000. Three thriving cities
have sprung up within its boundaries,
one of them Phoenix, the capital of
the state. Flowering orchards of
oranges, lemons and olives are on all
sides Altogether it would be hard to
find more fourishing community in
the country and this metamorphosfs
was brought about merely by the
scientific distribution of water. Not
satisfied with the wonders already
worked, the government is construct
ng a colossal dam in narrow gorge
some sixty miles from Phoenix, at the
junction of the Salt river and Tonic
creek. This dam is 265 feet high,
$50 feet wide, 15S feet thick at the

Volumes could be filed describing
the wonderful results given wher-
ever irrigation is tried. There is
the famous, or rather infamous, Death
valley of California, in comparison to
which a few years ago even the
Sahara Desera seemed hospitable. In
places once as forbidding as that val
ley there are now farms. orchards and
vineyards crowded closely on one
another. The picturesque, but bar
rem country around Cody in the south
western part Of the Big Horn country
of Wyoming, is being made over into
fertile fields and productive gardens
