great project of the Reclamation Ser

great project of the Reclamation Ser vice.
 Plans are being matured for secur- industrial -,ises. It is estimated that altogether 10000 horse power will be developed. worth at least $40 a horse power. or sfS0.0OO year for 12.000 horse power surplus. The Indian Bu- reau will receive part of the power. and in return will contribute $300.000 to the Roosevelt (Tonto) dam construction fund. and will use the power for pump ing water for 10000 acres on the Pima reservation around Sacaton agency. M uch of the balance will be sold for ex- tension of the irrigated area of the Salt River Valley and for purposes in Phoe- nix. Abort 5000 horse power will be developed f-' the construction of d rew erosscut supply canal from the Arizona Canal abont nine miles north of Phoenix to point just across the Salt River from Tempe. where the wat CT will fall 115 feet into the upper end of the Grand Canal. This enormous total Of water power will be worth al- most as much as the water to be stored at Roosevelt.
 What all this means to the Salt River Valley and to the City of Phoe- nix. the capital of Arizona, is almost beyond calculation. as it is not work to benefit term of years. but for the gain of all time. Given water the land will grow anything"
