 Greatest World Has Ever Seen.
 These ceremonies mark the success ful termination of one or the greatest reclamation projects the world has ever seen. They mean the reclama- tion of miles of burning desert, the termination of years of toll under the blazing Arizona sun, and the addition to Arizonas farming lands of terri tory whose productive wealth will equal that of the most favored farm ing districts of the world.
 For countless ages the principal stream of Arizona, the Salt river, swol- len to torrential proportions in the spring by the melting snows of the distant mountains and diminishing to tiny creek under the blazing sun of summer, has wound it's tortuous course through hundreds of miles of sun-seared desert land that needed but the application of water to blossom into luXuriant vegetable life. The waste of this rich territory was called to the attention of Colonel Roosevelt when he occupied the presidential chair, and he, in turn, ordered the gov ernment's reclamation department to investigate.
 Engineers were sent to explore the valley of the Salt river Maps were made of it's winding course and sam- pies of it's soil were forwarded to Washington, with lengthy reports. Here the reports were passed upon by the reclamation department, the soil was analysed and the matter referred to the president, whose warm interest had given the scheme life

Roosevelt, AriZ., Mar 1S.-Amid the cheer of thousands assembled today to witness the formal opening of the largest dam in the world the Roose- welt structure across the canyon of the Salt river, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, un- der the direction of her father, touch ed the button that sent the imprisoned waters of the Arizona river ripplng through the vast system of canals that will transform the sun-baked construc- tion town and 100000 acres of shift ing desert sand into a veritable Gar den of Eden
 The arrival of the Roosevelt party, who motored D miles across the des- ert to attend the ceremonies, was signal for wild hilarity among those assembled to witness the event. The cheering crowds pressed about the lit- tie group of prominent state and gov ernment officials to offer thanks and congratulations to the colonel, to whom in 8 great measure they owed the successful completion of the prof. ect, and he repeatedly removed his hat in acknowledgmen of their cor dial welcome.
 After the first enthusiastic greeting had died away the party was escorted to platform erected near the famous dam. Here every convenience that could add to the comfort of the hon

 Built by Government.
 All of this is produced without di- rect cost 10 the people of the United States. The government builds the great dam and canal system. It does not call upon the taxpayers. but uti. lizes for this purpose a fund derived from the disposal of public land. This fund is not given away. It is invest ed in these works, and then the peo- pie who are benefited must pay back the cost of the investment at so much per acre in ten annual installments. The money coming back ia used over again, every dollar being reinvested in additional works as fast as pay ments are made for those completed.
