LAND RECLAIMED
One Million Acres In Arizona California oregon. Utah. Phoealx Center of lrrl-
 sation Work of POO. .OOO Acres

an empife or opportunity Tor tn'
 farmer, the fruit grower. and thu
 cattle raiser. is being reclaimed by
 irrigation along the lines of tho
 Southern Pacific railroad in tho
 west and southwest.
 In the neighborhood of Yuma or
 the Colorado river, 100. GOO acres.
 partly in Arizona and partly in
 California. will be served by the
 canals on which rapid progress is
 being made. Profitable cultivation
 of this soil has heretofore been
 impossible owing to the destcru-
 tion floods of the Gila river. Now
 this section is being made ready
 for the settler by a dam across the Colorado above Yuma. by canals under the Gila and system of levees which will protect the terri tory from overflow.
 In this semi-tropic climate and soil. oranges. lemons. dates and grapes lead the products of soil which will produce almost any thing. In the same neighborhood  the land saved from destruction by the Southern pacifc's success in closing the breach in the Colorado are yielding phenomenal crops. Yuma has about 1000 residents. with schools, churches. hotels and is the center of the trade of large area. The Southren Pacific railway runs through the town and all of the newly irrigated area is in direct touch with this main transcontinental avenue of traffic.
 With Phoenix as cent er. anoth- CT vast irrigation work covering 200. 900 acres is being earned out. Here also is the climate of oranges and other fruits of many kinds. all served by the lines of Santa Fe from the north and Southern Pa. citic on the south. To this terri tory. the government is simply sup plying larger and more regular water supply than existed before. and the far sighted settlers who are taking up land in this region come into well organized and highly developed community.
 On the Truckee- Carson project in Nevada, the government is spend- ing $9.000.000 on the reclamation of $50, 900 acres. This is on the Ogden route of the Southern Pa rific, from which branch line be- 1 tween Hagen and Fallon has been built diagonally across the wnely irrigated area. The principal markets of this region are the min ing towns of Tonopah and Gold field. Cereals. alfalfa. vegetables and many fruits are successfully | raised here on the lands that form arly were the bed of a prehistoric | lake.
 Further north. on. the border line between California and Oregon. is the Klamath project. through | which the Southern Pacific is build ing the line which will eventually | 'un from Deed. California to Ma ron. Oregon, and become the main inc of the road in this territory in place of the present Shasta route. N ,arly 250. .000 acres of a fertile ioil will be affected by the irriga- ion work now well under way iere.
 Settlers upon these irrigation qnds have what amounts to a gov guarantee of the qality of he soil and the permaneDce of an adequate water supply. The prox- mity of the rairload is a further guarantee that markets can be cached and supplies obtained. With these inducements, there is
