DEDICATE BIG DAM.
Salt River Project In Arizona Ready
for Opening.

Chicago-The United States Rec
lamation service in its work Of supply
ing moisture to arid lands has given
the world five Of its largest dams. 1t
was quite appropriate that one Of the
largest of these, a part of the Salt
River project in Arizona, should be
called the Roosevelt dam, in honor of
the man who, as president, signed the
act that made its construction posi-
BILE.
Col. Roosevelt, in connection with
his visit to Phoenix this spring, will
formally dedicate the dam named in
his honor. In this connection it is
interesting to note that the Nineteenth
National Irrigation congress, at which
lit is expected Col. Roosevelt will be
one of the principal speakers at Chi
cago, Dec. to 9, has for its president
Hon. B. A. Fowler, of Phoneix, Ari-
IONA, who for many years was presi-
dent of the Salt River Valley Water
Users association.
This immense dam, requiring over
four years work and costing in the
neighborhood of $500, 600, is $50
feet high, length of base 235 feet,
and top 1,080 feet. The dam is higher
than the Flatiron building of New
York City, and would hide the capitol
at Washington to the dome. Two
four-in-hands could pass on the top.
Most of the wall rests on stones big
enough for team and wagon to stand
on and weighing sixteen tons each.
The lake formed by the dam extends
back in the valley twenty miles and
holds enough water to flood 1000
square miles foot deep. The re-
claimed land will make rs, 900 farms,
each large enough to support at least
five people, making homes for fully
125, 900 Americans. Each acre it is
estimated will yield yearly crops val
ued at $50 to $125.

New York, March Is. Samuel Com

press company drivers held another
session in Jersey late at night and
overturned the plans by deciding not
only to continue the strike, but to call

Wke'e plvisIen HsId neady FOR FIsIs
| n Tive Hours.
San Antonio, March 1S.-OrderI
have been received here from Wash
ineton that Major General Carter'l
maneuver division shall hold itself Ia
readiness to break camp and take the
field ~ II for actual warfare within
two hours.
| The order caused much comment,
for the particular reason that It did
not come IN the general maneuvers or
dsrs issued by Major General Carter
today, but from the seat OF govern
ment.
The order to be in readiness for
operations In the field, while it may
be legitimate feature Of rnaneuverp,
IL not taken In that sense.
Excepting the generals TO whom
long years have taught conservatism,
everyone rejected the maneuver
theory, but could not explain where
war WIS TO be expected.
One officer Of prominence today said
he hoped Mexico and the United States
would not become efnbroiled.
We could defeat Mexico and there
would be no lesson learned, " he said.
The unthinking in congress would
have another object TO point to, to
show that we can depend on the voun-
teers IN an emergency. So we can,
after we have lost rs per cent to teach
the remaining 20 per cent how TO fight.
"A stronger lesson is needed; Japan
or Germany would do, preferably the
former, because Of her geographical
situation. They are quite capable Of
reducing Us, with their perfect pre-
paredncss, whenever ready.
I'VE have spent ten days In turmoil
gathering handful Of men In Texas.
ultimately we should triumph. but the
ultimate cost would be appalling. IT.
would be much cheaper even in money,
lot alone lives, to treble our force
than to take such a lesson, considering
the ensuant pension rolls slone."
Officers cannot be quoted for publi-
cation where criticisms Of Supporters Is
invoved or to be inferred. but the man
who made the foregoing statement has
= reputation which extends beyond the
army.

Mexican Government and insurgents
Both Fear Intervention.

Mexican Government and insurgents
Both Fear Intervention.
New York, March 15.-Before Sc
nor de la Barra departed for Washing
ton today be gave out here the proofs
Of an article which will appear TO-
morrow in the Independent, on "The
Situation in Mexico" urging all his
countrymen, regardless of "all divis-
ions of party, all differences between
men" to recall the sacred interests
of our country" and to work to-
gether for the progress of true demo-
cracy and best development of the
motherland.
| The ambassador penned this appeal
only last night, after his conference
with Senior Limantour, the Mexican
minister of finance, and he considered
1t so very important that at the very
last moment he had it crowded into
the locked forms.
lnsurrecto leaders to whom the par
agraph was shown said they consid-
cred it an invitation to come into
camp, and its issuance makes more no.
table trend of events that has been
discoverable for the last three days.
After the first shock of surprise in
the United States, and of alarm and
distrust in Mexico caused by the dis
patch of 10000 American troops to
the frontier, there began series of
formal diplomatic exchanges between
the two powers, and series of care
fully weighed interviews and author
lied publications " the daily press.
Underneath this current ran deeper
tide tide of sympathy between coun-
trymen who might be at odds, but
were still countrymen.
Intervention .means war;" said
Senior Limantour, in so many words.
Intervention" answered DR.. F.
Vasquez Gomez, the insurgent repre-
sentative at Washington, who has
been here for three days. 1.-THE mo-
ment there is intervention there will
cease to be an insurrection. Both
sides will make common cause against
common enemy"
FREDERICK Madero, a brother of Gus
tavo, head Of the junta here, let fall
today that his brother had recently
made call on Senior Limantour. One
of his friends said this afternoon that
Gustavo had spent part of the morn
ing with Secretary Dickinson, but the
secretary himself dashed all intima-
tions with cold water.
Il have not been in communication
with the Maderos, either directly or
indirectly" he said tonight. 81 have
never met any of them and have had
no word from any of them. carry no
messages from them to Senior Linn
antour. My presence here has moth
ing to do with the Mexican situation. +"
The belief grows here, however,
among those closely in touch with
both camps, that some understanding
will be reached. 1t was pointed out
that if Francisco Madero, Sr., has al
ready seen Senior Limantour once, he
is likely to find means of keeping in
touch with him as the situation may
demand.
The Maderos are considered the
wealth and brains of the revolution.
They are not in sympathy with the
Socialist movement in Southern Cali
fornia. "If those fellows win,' said
Gustavo Madero today, 1--WE shall have
to fight Them"
