April 1, 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 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,
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 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 are
described as favorable for large return to
the reclamation fund. On several of the
projects there will be delinquents. 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 as showing the status of the
reclamation fund and the amounts which thus
far have been credited to 1t through the opera
tons Of the reclamation service:

but who are sincerely DESTROYS of as
sisting in the reformation of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league. and
with this In mind they called a public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds OF Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
rassed in approved public meeting
style. approving of a campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist In the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nose, and the chief organizer of tho
movement is one of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
OF Kiangsu and Kiangsi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave violin
solo, Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two cornet solos, and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
vhcle meeting was conducted In so
orderly and orthodox fashion that 1t
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation In the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years. ago such
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today we

The reclamation service began its work in
1902 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 &c or
more projects, which to date have involved the
expenditure of 100000 In the seven and
One-haf years of its work the service has built
APIS 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.
Its excavations of rock and earth amount to
the enormous total of 60,OO0,O00 cubic yards.
Its roads have a 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 a result of its work water is avail
able for 100000 acres $1,000 farms
The gross value of crops produced the
lands irrigated by the government projects in
1910 was s14,03S, 900. AS 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
its larger and unfinished masonry structures
and with about three-quarters of a million of
acres of arid land under irrigation.
1t will finish this year the great Roosevelt
dam IN Arizona, of the most massive in
the world. 1t has completed the Shoshone
DAM in northern Wyoming, the highest struc-
ture of It's kind 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 or put on fur
lough in order to keep the overhead charges
consistent with the expenditures.
Reviewing the history of the reclamation
service as whole its maximum activity and
expenditures were in the year 1907. In 1902
the expenditures were less than 800 900, and
In 1903 less than 81. 600, 000 In 1904 they were
s2,5o0.0oc; in 1905. 100000 in 1906, little
less than s1o.00o.oo0; In 1907. nearly $4,000
900. Then the expenditures decreased to
100000 900 in 1905. to abort 1000 900 In 1909,
600. 1t is expected that in 1911 they will
shrink to about $1,000 900. which sum will
probably continue to be available during after
years, assuming that the water-right charges
are paid as they fall due
