Roosevelt dam, the largest struc-
ture of its kind in the world, is one of
system of irrigation projects started
under the Roosevelt administration. 1t
is located in Salt river valley and will
supply a larger area than any other
single irrigation system in the United
States.
| Salt rivers, where a concrete weir dam
1000 feet long and 3S feet high, di-
verts water through a mai1 canal on
| either side of the river, to numerous
canals below, covering the entire res
ervoir district. The allotment of funds
for this project to date is about nine
millions and it may take two millions
more to fully complete all contemplat-
ed work. The toll in human lives has
been II at Roosevelt and 5 at Granite
Reef, as near as can be ascertained,
through mechanical accidents and
drowning.
The work TO be done will include
several plans for development of
HYDRO electric power at favorable
be used mainly in developing an
auxiliary irrigation water supply
pumped from the vast underground
resources. 1t is calculated that the
ally water 10000 acres an1 that 50.
, 900 acres will be watered by pumps.
Of for the Reservoir.
Phoenix, Ariz., March 1S.-Colonel
| theodore Roosevelt and party arrived
| in Phoenix at 9 o'clock this morning
and left Immediately in automobiles
for the Roosevelt reservoir, the big
reclamation dam seventy miles east,
where the formal dedication will take
! place at o'clock this afternoon. A
| large number of citizens of Phoenix
accompanied the party.
Colonel Roosevelt's main speech in
Arizona will be made in Phoenix on
Monday. He will leave the reservoir
Sunday morning. The ex-president
and family will spend Sunday after
noon and night at the town of Mesa
twenty miles east of Phoenix, where
Archie Roosevelt is attending school.
| In view of the fact that Bud Norton,
! driver of the stage between Mesa and
| the Roosevelt reservoir, was killed
yesterday with one of his passengers,
a. Mrs. Smith of Roosevelt, as result
of the stage leaving the road at a pre-
cipitouS point, some fears have been
expressed that accidents may occur
today owing to the large number of
automobiles making the trip with in
experienced drivers. With careful
driving, however, there is no reason
to apprehend danger. The road, in
many respects the most picturesque
highway in America was constructed
at an expense of 100000 to provide
a means for the conveying of material
to the dam during construction. It
traverses a rugged mountain range
and for many miles follows winding
curves along steep cliffs.

Washington Sunday.

Augusta, Ga, March 1S.-The presi-

spring vacation on the links of the
Country club today. Tomorrow aft
ernoon he will start back to Washing
ton. The presidents message to the
special session of congress, to be con-
vened on April 4, will be brief. if he
follows his present inclination. Wheth-
er he will directly recommend that
nothing be considered hut the reci-
procity agreement bill can not be stat
ed at this time. From the formal
statements of the Democratic leaders,
however, the president has every rea-
son to believe that revision of two or
three of the schedules of the Payne
Aldrich act will be undertaken.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina.
who was in Augusta several days ago,
said the Democrats in the house were
elected to revise the tariff and that they
ought to get to work at the earliest
opportunity. There is said to be a
possibility that the president may call

Great Britain to the attention of the
special session, but the chances are 1t

With Naftzger.

Wichita, March 18.-Frank s. Burt,
formerly chief of police of Wichita
te estif1ed late Friday afternoon in the
case against L. F. Naftzger for receiv-
ing stolen stamps. He said he first
talked with Naftzger in December,
1909. He told Naftzger he could get
postage stamps and sell them to
Naftzger at from rs to 80 cents on
TIE dollar. Naftzger asked if there
was any law against it. Burt said:
Il don't know
Later Naftzger told Burt he would
buy some stamps. A few days later
NSftzger paid him 1927 in money at
the Fourth National bank. Burt paid
SO cents on the dollar and sold them
to Naftzger at about rs cents on the
dollar. Burt got the stamps out OF
his (Burt's) office in the city build
ing. June 13, 1910, he sold $500 more
stamps to Naftzger in the same way.
he paid Callahan SO cents on the dol
lar for them.
July 5, 1910, he sold $3.50 worth of
stamps and took Mr.. Naftzger's check.
He took the stamps with him when
he sold them.
Burt said that on July 80, Mr..
Naftzger asked him on the streets if
he knew where the stamps came from.
Burt said he told him he did not know.
Naftzger said "they must come from
postoffices because SO many of them
are in little books"

Vote to Return to Work.

New York, March 1S.-Threat Of a
general strike of teamsters tying up
everything on wheels in New York

stormy meeting in Jersey City, voted to
return to work.
The United States express men went
out yesterday in sympathy with the
striking Adams Express company driv-

ORIGINAL RINeLINe SHOW
YANKEE ROBINSON MADE THE
PRESENT RINGLING SHOW.

The Rineling Bros. in an interview in
New York in April of this year, made
the statement that they owed their sue
cess to the greatest of all showmen,
Yankee Robinson. For two seasons the
Ringling show endeavored to pilot their
show on the sea of circusdom. but met
with disaster each time and wended
their way back to Baraboo. Finally
Yankee Robinson took the then young
Rineling Bros. u2 and with the Yankee
Robinson &Ringling Bros. Show made
success This continued for some time,
finally Yankee Robinson and the Ring
lines separating. To-day these two
mamoth shows continue to rule the
world of circnsdom and each one is
credited with having the best circus
performance and menagerie acried with
tented organizations. Both shows are
still on friendly terms each one content
with the territory allotted them each sea-
son. The only possible friction between
the two big shows is during the winter
months when some big foreign act is
desired by each show. The Yankee
Robinson Shows have the Ringlings test
ed in this regard, having formed an alli-
ance with the great vaudeville interests
of hte country and having the only high
class vaudeville Bhouse operated on the
big circuit. However, the early friend
ship of these two big shows is so strong
that Ringlings are loaned many feat
ures not desired by the Yankee Robin
son Shows; for instance, the Patty
troupe, now the big feature of the Ring
ling show, was exhibited by the present
management of the Yankee Robinson
Shows two seasons prior to the Ringling
engagement. Both shows are better
equipped than ever this season. There
is no truth in the report that both shows
have combined for the season.
