lips are good friends, for they have
been seen much together, especially
since Miss Roosevelt entered society.
Phillips is third assistant secretary
Of state. He is a grand nephew of Wen
dell Phillips and a Harvard man.
Miss Roosevelt was twenty in July.
This, her last season at the White

TO make MANY
h ACRES FERTILE
Big Irrigation Works Arc
Nearing Completion.
GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT

Governments Plans to Store Flood
Waters In West Will Be Carried to
Final Stage This Summer-Projects
Include the Wonderful Gunnison
Tunnel In Arizona-Contracts For
1o4,6oo Barrels of Cement Have
Been Placed In Chicago.
Chicago, March 1.-The greatest of
the engineering works of the govern
ment reclamation service are to be
brought to completion this summer.
The list includes the huge Roosevelt
dam in Arizona, the Gunnison tunnel,
the greatest underground water way in
the world, running directly through a
Colorado mountain range, and the larg-
est works in the Wyoming and Idaho
projects.
This years construction will bring
into use water-cOntrolling works, the
aggregate cost of which is more than
S1S,00O,000 and whose stored floods
will make fertile nearly 100000 acres
that once supported no more profitable
crop than sagebTush and cactus.
This important program materialized
in Chicago when the contracts for
the cement that is to enter into the
mammoth concrete works were award
ed. Altogether 1O4,6OO barrels of &C.
ment were purchased.
OF the total 10000 barrels of cement
were ordered shipped to the Uncom-
pahgre project of Colorado to complete
the works, the most conspicuous feat
ture of which is the siX-mile tunnel
that will carry the water of the Gun
nison river directly through noun
tain 1900 feet high and discharge it
into the Uncompahgre valley, where
there are lands needing only the con-
tact of moisture to produce wealth.
The Roosevelt dam will be brought
during the summer to it's full height,
2S4 feet, higher than twenty-story
scraper. Its construction is deemed
enc of the worlds greatest engineering
feats.
1t is located at Roosevelt, Ariz.

Two Revolutions in One Week.

Turkey is. again in turmoil. Last
week there was an unrising, in which
the rank-and-file of the army and navy,
resenting some of the recent orders
of the contitutional government, took
control, forced the designations of the
ministry, and committed disorders re-
sulting in the death of several officials.
1t appeared that the sultan Abdul
Hamid, gave a cheerful acquiescence
to this insurrection, and for a time it
looked as if the Young Turk element
that has been predominant since the
recent establishment of constitutional
government, would pass into the back
ground and the reactionaries assert
Themselves But at Salonica. where
the Committee of Union and Progress
had its headquarters, the army proved
faithful and soon marched on Constan-
tinople, where the government weak
and inefficient, made no effort to de-
fend itself. The Young Turks are
about to seize the capital without oppo-
sition and it is considered likely that
Abdul Hamid will have to abdicate.
The punishment of those responsible
for the uprising of last week demanded
by the reform element News comes
of another terrible massacre of Armen-
ian Christians at Adana and vicinity,
in which 5000 are said to have perished.
