Beats the Assoun Dam.
The dam will back the water up
into deep mountain canyon for a
distance Of nearly thirty miles, and
is located just below the junction of
the Tonic creek with the Salt river.
Where Tonic creek, coming down
from the north between the rugged
length of the Mazatzal range and the
abrupt peaks of the Ancha mountain,
meets Salt river pushing In from the
east, lies deep, narrow valley, in
shape not unlike the widespread
wings OF some great bird. Where
the two streams enter into one chan
mel cliffs of dark sandstone rise more
than three hundred feet. with rough,
barren. precipitous mountains Shout
dering back to the very skyline above
them. The gorge at the bottom is
only $50 feet wide, and the united
waters plunge into 1t and become ap-
parently lost until the canyon widens
little. some hundred yards below.
For thirty miles the canyons then
continues with walls of varying depth
and fantastic forms and coloring-
less imposing, but scarcely less beau
tiful than the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado.
The Salt river for more than one
hundred miles cuts through the wild.

ranges In Arizona-mountalns that
because of their wildness and their
inaccessibilty were for long time

The government engineers soon
discovered that the enterprise would

that there were in the rock of the

power the cement could be manufac.

than they could purchase it delivered

The length OF the big dam, which
is icing built on curve having a
radius of about 400 feet, will be 235
feet at the bottom and 1000 feet at
the top. including the two spillways,
one at each end, which will carry of

The total height OF the dam will be

will be 165 feet at the base and six.

The dam is being constructed OF
huge blocks of stone set in cement,
the stone being blasted from the
walls of the canyon above the dam.
and from where the spiiiways will be

When the big dam is finished and
the immense reservoir Is fllled the

in the Salt river valley in Arizona.
The waters of the reservoir are to

Great Dams for Irrigation

The coming session of the national
Irrigation Congress, TO be held at
Albuquerque, N. NJ. Sept, 20 to Oct.
3. 1908. will afford people of the
United States great opportunity for
visiting the governmental reclama-
tion projects in the southwest, says
an Albuquerque. N. NJ, dispatch in
the Washington. Star. Cheap excur-
sion rates from all portions of the
United States will shortly be an
nounced on the transcontinental rail-
roads. In addition to the sessions OF
the Congress the people Of New Mex
leo are expanding vast sums of mon
ey for great interstate industrial ex-
position at which will be assembled
the greatest exhibits of irrigated land
products and forestry ever brought
together in the history of the coun-
try.
The project or the reclamation
service which. with perhaps one OK.
ccption. Is attracting the most atten-
tion of the general public is the great
storage reservoir in the mountains
of Arizona, in the very heart of that
section once left entirely to the pos
session Of the VIGOROUSLY cruel and
bloodthirsty Apaches. Indeed. the
valley in which it is located takes
its name from division of tho
Apache tribe called the Tontos. the
meaning of which in English is "The
Fools so named in derision by their
White Mountain fellow ribesmen.
The project takes It's name from that
of the lively town of five hundred
inhabitants which Is to be buried by
the waters of the reservoir when the
dam Is completed.
Long before the establishment OF
the United states reclamation ser
vice. as early as in 1889. the peculiar
availability of this location for r
great storage reservoir was recogniz-
cd, and in 1897 Maricopa county Sc
cured an appropriation of $4,000 for
preliminary horings and estimates,

service inspected the various dams

was supplied by an ordinary steam
plant. but the development of cleo
tricity was needed, and 1t was seen
that such plant could be used to
great advantage continuously in the
future conducting of the project.
Wonderful Roadway.
Perhaps second in impresiveneas TO
the great wagon road Is this nineteen
mile-long power canal. Work on the
canal began in 1904, and 1t is finished
and is now in use.
Lying deep back in the heart of the
rough, much broken and informing
ling mountains, nature seemed to
have forgotten to leave any outlet to
the Tonic basin. EXCEPT the close
walled canyon through which the wa
ter fought It's way to the open plain
below. The few farmers in the basin
and along the valley above the dam
site had g wretchedly rough wagon
road out by the way of Pinto creek
to Globe, forty miles away, and
though the first supplies and ma
chinery for the dam came in that
way, yet it was instantly recognized
rs not a possible route for continued
use.
There was one other outlet. the old
Apache trail which wound over the
mountain tops and skirted the cliffs
and canyons. 1t led in the desired
direction and an experienced road
hunter was sent over 1t to study It's
possibilities and report. He spent
three days on the route and reported
it impossible. The engineer then
mounted his horse and went repeat
eddy over the ground. then made some
estimates and took out a working
force, and the most perfectly graded
and best built wagon road in the
mountains of America traced by the
unshod hoofs of Apache ponies.

Roosevelt project as is the reservoir

Words fail in attempting to de-
scribe what the Salt river valley in
Arizona will become after the reall-
cation of the full fruitagc of this
work of the reclamation
service.
One can Judge of the results of the
perfected system somewhat by those
OF the cruder methods which have
been In operation for some years in
certain limited parts of the valley.
The results of the operation OF those
systems surely give to the world
abundant assurances OF what this

enable the valley to become.

The visible mucosae were congested
and brownish yellow. In these mild
cases the weakness never became SO
great that the animal could not stand
and usually 1t was able to take some
nourishment and water.
The more severe cases were mani
tested by the same general symptoms,
often, however, the respirations were
much increased and labored. In the
severe cases the animals usually re-
fused food, but often showed desire
for water, although unable to drink.
The digestive tract was almost COM
pletely paralyzed. Purgatives seemed
to do little good, no matter what the
dose. The hypodermic use of eserine
or arecolene did not produce purga-
tion, but did exhibit other physiolog-
ical phenomena.
The disease generally runs a rapid
ly fatal course. lasting from a few
hours to four or five days-usually
not more than three or four days.
The time given by some authorities,
eight to twelve days. Is entirely too
long. except in cases that survive.

When our balloon left st. Louis, and
got up In the air so far that the earth
looked like piece of rag carpet. with
popcorn scattered over 1t. which were

busted. we would be dropping for
hours before we struck church steep
lie, and would be so dead when we hit
the ground, and stiff and cold, that
we would be driven down in the mud
so far no one would ever find us, and
looked at the two fool men in the
basket with me. who didn't seem to
care what became OF them, as though
they were unhappily married or had
money in a shaky bank. l began to
choke up. and the tears came to my
eyes, and took long breath of thin
air, and tainted dead away.
When tainted We were being driven
south. and when came to, with a
smell of ammonia on my hair. we were

when the bottle struck the mule on
