Many miles of canals have been laid across us
level surface and what was only a short tlme
ago the finest free cattle range In this country
is rapidly becoming a compacty settled agrlcuf
tural community.
An impressive engineering feature of this
project is the Owl Creek dam, one OF the long
est and highest earthen entertainments IN the
world. This structure, now nearing completion,
is 62OO feet long, has maximum height or I'D
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, 1880 feet, the inspiring seem
cry in which 1t is located and the enormous ca
pacity of the reservoir created by 1t combine
to make 1t one Of the most stupendous engineer

Conceive, If you can, two valleys-one IL

from one to three miles wide-transformed into
a lake 200 feet deep in places and containing
enough water to cover Delaware foot deep.
The Salt River reservoir, when full, has a
capacity sufficient to fill a canal 800 feet wide
and 10 feet deep extending from Chicago to
San Francisco.
My one regret is that the space allotted me
is too little to permit me to describe the charms
and advantages of other projects of the govern
ment. I should like to tell you OF the opportu-
mites on the klamath project. located in south
ern Oregon in region of unrivaled scenic
beauty; of the wonderful progress made in the
Boise valley, in Idaho, and the promise of even
greater advance as the work of the government
nears completion; of the Orland project in the
Sacramento valley, the land of fruits and flow
ers of the Rio Grande valley where there will
one day be erected the most stupendous dam
in the west-a region in which irrigation began
before the Spanish invasion, which will become
fruitful and prosperous.

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 $6000O000 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.
ut 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 60,000,00O cubic yards.
Its roads have a total length of All miles;
telephones, 1927 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 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 $14,0380G0 AS a result of the work
of the government 1t Is estimated that land
values have increased more than 05,SO0,0O0.
The reclamation service is entering 1910
with money and plans for completing most of
and with about three-quarters of a million of
acres of arid land under irrigation.
II 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
IT.
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, it's maximum activity and
expenditures were in the year 1907. In 1902
the expenditures were less than 800 000 and
in 1903 less than 81, 900 0O0 In 1904 they were
$4,000, 900; In 1905, $4,000 900; in 1906 little
less than $1O,0OOO0O; In 1907, nearly $4,000,
000 Then the expenditures decreased to
$10,000,000 in 1908, to about 100000 in 1909
and in 1910 they will be little under $4,000
900. It is expected that in 1911 they will
shrink to about $7,000,000, which sum will
probably continue to be available during after
years, assuming that the water-right charges
are paid as they fall due.

A Conundrum Tea.

OF all the novel and interesting
ways of entertaining ones guests l
think the Conundrum Tea party took
the best, for one given recently was
the talk of the town. for several days
after it's occurrence.
The guests were 26 in number, fill
ing two tables and as two sisters were
the hostesses, one presided at each
table. Everything in the way of china
and floral decorations were simply per-
feet. At each place was found card
with the name of the person who was
to occupy the chair but besides the
name, there was a conundrum. Each
guest had the privilege of guessing
her own first and II she failed 1t was
passed on to the next person.
The one who guessed the largest
number of conundrums received the
first prize and the one who answered
the least received the consolation"
prize. There were prizes provided for
each table. l can assure you there
was no lack of conversation. After
tea, the prizes were distributed, games
were played and from the latencss of

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 it's 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,
some time must elapse before the actual
amounts collected are known. On a 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 a 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 no 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
lions of the reclamation service:
Total moneys received and transferred to
