One Of tile historic announcements made
during the exciting political days few
years prior to the outbreak OF the Civil
War was that by Horace Greeey then
tho powerful editor Of the New York Trib-
une. to tho effect that the political firm
Of Seward. Weed and Greeley had been
dissolved by the withdrawal Of the junior
partner.
The announcement was a sensation in
the best meaning of the term.
What" exclaimed the politicians, "lior-
ace Greeley at odds with William II.
Seward and Thurlow Weed? Why. that
was the combination which created the
Republican party in New York state II
made Seward Senator and it was planning
TO make him President
There were al sorts Of explanations as
10 the cause of the withdrawal OF tho
junior partner. but Greeley himself never
! explained. Finally, it became TO be as
sumed that he he'd quarreled with Sen
ator Seward and Thurlow Weed, and this

convention Of 1860 as delegate. by proxy

Many years after this convention had

acc Greeley himself had become badly

Weed met Montgomery Blair, who was
Postmaster General in 1incoln's cabinet

April /, 1910. That date is a memorable one,
not only to the settlers, whose entries are
liable to cancellation for failure to make the
payments due, but also to the reclamation
service, which is concerned in securing the re-
turn of its investment in the engineering
works. 1t is also a matter of interest to citi-
zens of the number of sections containing fea-
sible projects the construction of which cannot
be undertaken without additional funds. AS
the repayments are made through the local
land Offices and not directly to the service,
some time must elapse before the actual
amounts collected are known. On number of
the projects, like Sun River, Shoshone and
Huntley, the settlers have already made their
initial payments and will not be delinquent
on the second installment until April 1911.
which enables them to market two crops be-
tween payments On several other projects,
such as the Minidoka, Klamath Lower Yellow
stone, Belle Fourche, Carlsbad, Truckee-Car-
son, North Platte and others, the first settlers
have had the use of water for two crops, and
it is probable that majority will be able to
meet their obligations without difficulty.
Detailed reports from various sources on
each of the projects have been received at
Washington. The conditions as a whole
described favorable for large return to
the reclamation fund On several of the
projects there will be no deinquents. On
number of projects the engineering work is
not fully completed, but water Is ready for
large areas and is being supplied on a rental
basis pending the announcement Of the actual
cost of water right. The reclamation service
has derived considerable revenue from these
sources and at the same time the farmers
have been enabled to increase the areas in
cultivation. The following financial statement
Is interesting showing the status of the
reclamation fund and the amounts which thus
far have been credited to it through the opera
lions of the reclamation service:
Total moneys received and transferred to
the reclamation fund from sales of public
lands under reclamation act to February Is,
1870 $58,342, 61702. Approximately $4,500,000

it's length on top, 1880 feet, the inspiring seem

importance any other progressive movement
since the opening to settlement of the Missis-
sippi valley. The reclamation Of vast areas
of our arid and semi-arid regions, which is
being promoted by the federal government and
by large corporations working in conjunction
with several states, Is Of profound economic

The reclamation service began its work In
1902 on the passage of the reclamation act.
The first contract was let in September of the
next year and, on June II, 1905, an important
project in Nevada was formally opened.
Progress has been rapid and the activities
Of the bureau have been extended to rs or
more projects, which to date have involved the
expenditure of s6OocOO0O. In the seven and
one-half years of its work the service has built
4,215 miles of canal. Placed end to end, these
canals would reach from Washington to San
Francisco and back to New Orleans. Several
Of these canals carry whole rivers.
It has excavated II miles of tunnels.
Before the end of the year it will have COM
pleted four of the highest dams in the world.
Its excavations of rock and earth amount to
the enormous total of 6O,OOO,0OO cubic yards.
It's roads have total length of AIT miles;
telephones, 1,127 miles; levees, 70 miles.
1t has purchased 915751 barrels of cement
and has manufactured in its own mill 100000
barrels. AS result of it's work water is avail
able for 100000 acres on 10000 farms.
The gross value of crops produced on the
lands irrigated by the government projects in
1910 was $14,O38,0OO. AS result of the work
of the government it is estimated that land
values have increased more than sos, 300 ,OOo
The reclamation service is entering 1910
with money and plans for completing most of
its larger and unfinished masonry structures
and with about three-quarters of million of
acres of arid land under irrigation.
1t will finish this year the great Roosevelt
dam in Arizona, one Of the most massive In
the world. 1t has completed the Shoshone
dam, in northern Wyoming the highest struc
ture of its kind ever built; the Pathfinder
dam, in southern Wyoming, and the Laguna
DAM in Arizona 1t will for the first time
utilize the Gunnison tunnel, whose completion
was celebrated by President Taft last summer.
The funds available for construction are
somewhat less than in previous years, and the
organization, which is very elastic, has been
cut down to fit reduced expenditures. About
fifty skilled men-engineers, experts and tech
nical assistants-have either sought private
employment, have been transferred to other
bureaus of the government put on fur
Tough, In order to keep the overhead charges
consistent with the expenditures.
Reviewing the history of the reclamation
service as WHOLE it's maximum activity and
expenditures were in the year 1907. In 1902
the expenditures were less than 100000 and
in 1903 less than 81, 100000 In 1904 they were
s2,500,000; in 1905 $4,000 900; in 1906, a little
less than $10,000,0O0; in 1907, nearly s14,000,-
600. Then the expenditures decreased to
$10,000,000 in 1908, to about 100000 in 1909,
and in 1910 they will be little under $S,0O0,-
600. 1t is expected that In 1911 they will
shrink to about $7,000,00O which sum will
probably continue to be available during after
years, assuming that the waterright charges
are paid as they fall due.

Among the several large projects, one OF
especial interest is located in northern wy
oming When the springtime showers and
sunshine fall upon the snowy peaks OF the
lofty mountains on the eastern rim OF yell
lowstone park thousand streams will rush
downward to fill to trimming the swlft-hoWlng
Shoshone river. An important physical change
will occur at that time. The flood that once,
unchecked and uncontrolled, swept madly
through the rock-walled gorge will beat itself
to stiffness against a massive wall OF concrete
with which man has blocked the canon. A
beautiful lake, 100 feet deep and covering ten
square miles, will appear.
In this wonderful cash in the mountains,
with perpendicular walls thousand feet high,
the government has erected the highest dam
in the world 1t is a wedge of concrete 328
feet from base to top Its height can only
be appreciated when compared with that OF
some well-known structure. New Yorks "a
nous Flatiron building would not reach within
Al feet of the top of the dam, and the tlp-top
of the dome of the United States capitol would
fall short 81 feet of the parapet.
In the summer when the crops are thirsty,
the big gates will be opened and the pent-up
floods will be released into the river below.
