The valley Of the Salt river is so sit

The average yearly rainfall in this

The annual rainfall upon the territory
to be irrigated ranges from three to ten
inches, and the rapid evaporation of
moisture is Indicated by the fact that
the temperature in summer ranges as
high as 100 degrees, although the ele-
yation varies from LOCO to ], 800 feet

Work upon the construction Of the
dam proper has been in progress only
since Sept 20, 1906, owing to the great
amount Of labor required in making
the excavations to bedrock. When it
is remembered that the height of the
dam above the rock is 2S4 feet, the
length at the top 1880 feet, the time
and labor required in repairing the site

Roosevelt Reservoir In

Square Miles Of Arid
Land Before Summer Is
Ended Is Prediction.

NHE greatest irrigat ton project the
world has known or planned is
soon to begin it's work Of wa
terlng one of the sandiest val
legs imaginable. This is the Roosevelt
dam in the Salt river valley in Arizo-
ma, erected at a cost of SO, 75O,OOO.
The dam is immense. To give fig
ures would be to say that the wall is
2S4 feet high. Put it beside the Met
ropolitan tower in New York and it
would reach over third Of the height
OF the tower. It would hide the CAPT
tol at Washington to the dome. Two
four-in-hands could pass on the top, SO
wide is it, and you could make a
sprinting course on the crest, for it is
nearly quarter Of mile long. Most
OF the wall rests on stones big enough
for team of horses and a wagon to
stand on and weighing sixteen tons
each.
For nearly four years men and ma
chinery have been raising this barrier
In a mountain rift Of the southwest.
1t is one Of the worlds great engineer
ing feats and gives America the lar
gest water reservoir in the world for
the purpose of nourishing the land.

the Salt river to help in the construc-
ton of the great wall that was to hold
1t a prisoner. Like other streams in
the southwest, the Salt river rushes
swiftly through foothill and valley,
giving it such a current or head Of wa
ter that the dam builders realized that
here was a substitute for steam power
to operate their machinery. It was
lucky it was so, for the nearest coal
mines were 500 miles away and wood
was too precious for fuel
The first work done was to build a
power canal twenty miles long. The
canal connects with the river where
it makes a sharp curve at point
higher than the bed Of the stream at
the dam site. Tunneled through hills,
cut through valleys and lined with con.
crete, when they opened the head gates
the canal delivered power equal to the
combined strength Of loo horses and
capable of supplying all the electricity
they needed.
