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 formally opened
Progress has been rapid and the activities
of the bureau have been extended to 26 or
more projects, which to date have involved the
expenditure of s60,00O,000 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.
1t has excavated II miles of tunnels
Before the end of the year 1t will have com.
pleted four of the highest dams In the world
Its excavations of rock and earth amount to
the enormous total Of G0,000,000 cubic yards
Its roads have a total length of Ar miles:
telephones, 1927 miles levees. 70 miles
1t has purchased 9l5,751 barrels of cement
and has manufactured in its own mill 10000
barrels. AS result of its 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,O3S,0CO. AS a result of the work
of the government 1t is estimated that land
values have increased more than sos 800. 900
The reclamation service is entering 1910
with money and plans for completing most of

and with about three-quarters of million OF
acres of arid land under irrigation

dam in Arizona one of the most massive in
the world. 1t has completed the Shoshone

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
nica assistants-have either sought private
employment, have been transferred to other
bureaus of the government or put on fur
lough In order to keep the overhead charges
consistent with the expenditures,
Reviewing the history of the reclamation
service as a whole its maximum activity and
expenditures were in the year 1907 In 1902
the expenditures were less than 100000 and
in 1903 less than 81 900 900, In 1901 they were
