Many miles of canals have been laid across us

An impressive engineering feature or this

est and highest earthen entertainments m the
world This structure, now nearing complexion,
is 6200 feet long, has maximum height OF llo
feet and contains 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial.
The Roosevelt dam, which is about COM
pleted as you read the story today, is in many
respects the most remarkable structure of its
kind in the world. It's towering height, $50 feet,
its length on top, 1080 feet, the inspiring seen

Boise valley, in Idaho, and the promise of even
greater advance as the work of the government

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 26 or
more projects, which to date have involved the
expenditure of $60,O0O0OO. In the seven and
one-half years Of it's 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 it will have COM
pleted four of the highest dams in the world
It's excavations of rock and earth amount to
the enormous total of 6O,000,000 cubic yards
It's roads have total length Of AT miles;
telephones, 1,127 miles; levees 70 miles.
1t has purchased 915,751 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 $4,000 farms.
The gross value of crops produced on the
lands irrigated by the government projects in
1910 was $14,03S,0OO. AS a result of the work
of the government 1t is estimated that land
values have increased more than 1058000 O0
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 it's kind ever built; the Pathfinder
dam, in southern Wyoming, and the Laguna
dam. in Arizona. It 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 $1,000,000. In 1904 they were
$2500000; in 1905 100000 in 1906, little
less than $10,000,O00; in 1907, nearly $4,000
900. Then the expenditures decreased to
$1O,000,OO0 in 1908, to about 100000 in 1909,
and in 1910 they will be little under $4,000
600. 1t is expected that in 1911 they will
shrink to about 100000, which sum will
probably continue to be available during after
years, assuming that the water-right charges
are paid as they fall due.
