We are opposed to prohibition,

We believe the government, ma.

ITEMS CLEANED FROM
 RECLAMATION RECORD
A Little Official Information Concern ing Arizona Projects.

The Reclamation Record Is a small
 monthly publication published month ly under the authority of the secretary Of the interior and edited in the tech nical section of the reclamation serv- ice. It is sent free to all employees of
 the service holding commissions from the secretary and it's purpose is to keep
 them posted in respect to the progress
 of work on all the reclamation pro-
 jects The June issue of the paper, reporting the accomplishments during
 the month of May has just been re- ceived here and some of the items may
 be of special interest to readers of The
 Republican, as follows:
 The secretary of the Interior has eX tended the time to October 10, 1908, for the completion of the work on the
 Roosevelt dam to the 150 foot level.
 The original date set by the contract for such completion was April 8. 1907; later an extension to May 21, 1908, was granted.
 Arizona Salt River Project-The con- tractor on the Roosevelt dam placed about 1000 cubic yards of masonry and
 excavated about 5000 cubic yards of
 rock during the month, having been delayed slightly by the rivetiag work on the steel penstock extending through the dam. The dam is now about 37

The work of set ting the sluice gates in the tunnel has progressed sufficiently to permit the diversion of the river through the tun- neL The cement mill operating inter mitently burned 1900 barrels of clink- CT and ground $500 barrels of cement mill, being built on the lower bank of the power canal, was about une-half completed. About per cent of the work on the Grand canal was done during the month and well drilling on

 Arizona California, Yuma Project Weather and labor conditions have been
 good during the month. Work on the Laguna dam has been confined mainly
 to the filling in along the crest of the dam, the eXcavating of the sluiceways and the construction of the suice gate piers. The dam is now seventy-six per cent completed on the reservation levee in the lower Yuma Valley as far as the Mexican boundary. Work on the new heading of the Farmers Cray ity canal is sufficiently advanced to permit admission of water as soon as the river reaches it's normal summer stage.
 During the month of March 1917 cu- bic yards of rubble concerto were placed in the Granite Reef dam, Salt river project; 437 cubic yards of. rock were imbedded in the concerto, making therefore approximately 22 per cent of the total quantity of concrete. The to- tai expense connected with the quarry ing, hauling and placing of the rock was $2.70 per cubic yard.
 Dr. E. G. Lind is rapidly convalesc- | ing serious illness. He will remain in Washington officially employed inde- i finitely after regaining his health.
