OLD CANALS BOUGHT.

Meantime the question of building new canals or buying and remodeIing the old ones came up and has been settled by the latter plan. all the origi- nal canals having been bought by the government with money charged to the project, save the Tempe system and part of the Utah canal The north side systems were bought first. several years ago. on what was con- sidered fair valuations. the govern ment paying what it would have cost to parallel them where paralleling would he necessary. The main artery on tbe north side was and still is whS- is known as the Arizona canal. n was the largest and the longest and headed at the extreme eastern end of the valley, it's head being nearest to the dam site from which the stored water when released wOudl course westerly down the river chan nel fifty or sixty miles to the canal head.

GOVERNMENT SAW MILL.

Not only was the upper Salt river drawn upon for construction re source through the Intake dam and Power canal. but the upper Tonto creek. the mouth of which forms the other arm of the reservoir contributed its portion. X vast amount of lum- Der was needed for the building of the cement mill. the houses necessary in the engineering camp and. for null hilarious purposes. before the laying of masonry could begin. Tonto creek winds back into the pine covered Sierre Ancha mountains. where thirty miles northeast of Roosevelt the gov ernment erected saw mill and built a road to it. In the early days of the project 3.0O0.000 feet of lumber was sawed in this mill and brouglS to the dam site by freight teams. over a road for the most part down grade. The mill. like other plants that haS served their day. was disposed of to the best advantage

ROOSEVELT ROAD.

Among the earliest construction fea a-
 lures was the building of freight road so miles long from Mesa City, the nearest available railroad point. to the Roosevelt dam site. Of this
 22 miles is across desert and 3S miles through the most impressive mountain scenery in the west The road was constructed for perma- nency and though as crooked as a knotted rope and often winding around the face of a cliff. it is as fine a thoroughfare as city street. The road cost s206.00O to construct. of which Phoenix and Mesa City con tributed s71,000. recognizing its com mercial value to the valley, rather than to have d road constructed to the dam site from Globe. the nearest railroad point in another direction. One hundred and forty-seven thou sand dollars has been spent in better ments and maintenance, making the total cost of this permanent and now famous scenic highway sS53.0O0 Over this road nearly all the machinery, oil and supplies used in construction were hauled by mule teams, and it is today a perfect mountain boule- ward. Since the construction of the Roosevelt road the territory has un- dertaken and in large part construct ed system of territorial highways to cross Arizona north and south and east and west The Roosevelt road has been utilized as very impor- tant section of the east and west highway. The territory has com pIcted a connecting road from Roose- welt to Globe and is building south and east from Globe toward the eastern or New Mexican border. It will be ex- tended westerly from Phoenix to the California border and the north and south road. a description of which is not particularly pertinent to this ar

 and machinery, etc. and digging the
 sluicing tunnel around tine end of the site through which by coffer dams

 After the advent of tthe contractors the governments direct employees di- unfinished in number. their work being chiefly engineering and the operation

 work was constantly under the su- pcrvision of government engineers to
 the extent of the latter being re-

 cations were carried out. Moreover. the government engineers were al-
 ways at hand to lend any aid that might be possible in facilitating the

But this project was to them as it was to the government. eXperi mental in almost every step and new problems were presented for daily so- lution.

The foregoing quite fully describes all the larger features of the storage project. except the power transmits sion line. which heads at the dam and runs to the valley. It can be treated more clearly in connection with the distributing system, the upper end of which is some sixty miles west of the dam. and will be referred to later The distributing system is no less in teresting than the storage project. though no one feature is so great It's devising was not attended by so many engineering obstacles. but was beSet hy much more numerous array of perpleXing and irritating questions Cs legality. justice, economy and feasi7 bility.

THE CEMENT MILL.
One of the Greatest Money Saving
 Ideas Developed.

The cement mill has been referred to merely by it's results. It's little
 story is worth relating as one of the
 features that came and went When construction was decided upon it was evident that one of the greatest fac tors of cost would be the cement. EX-
 animation of the engineers and tests
 had demonstrated that within a mile or two of the dam site could be procured the clay and lime neces ssary
 in making as good cement as science has yet produced The government did not desire to compete with any private industry and therefore called for bids for the furnishing of cement.
 both for the preliminary and perma- nent constructions. Many were re- ceived but the price in each instance was so greatly in excess of what il would cost to build a plant and make the cement on the ground that the engineers did not feel warranted in
 paying it IL was contended by some that manufacturers had pooled inter ests to demand d stiff price from the government, not deeming a gov ernment plant probable. However that may have been, a fair price would have necessarily been high. owing to the cost of transporting such vast tonnage by wagons from the railroad A huge plant was therefore
 built on the hillside just above the dam site and railroad was run to the lime quarry and clay banks The cement mill finished its mission for the government nearly a year ago. The major part of the machinery was sold to q private company that has now erected it in the Salt River val ley near Tempe. where it will no doubt find a permanent patronage in the growing needs of the distributing canal system With the revenue de- rived from the sale of the plant. the mill has saved to the project over $500. 900. The minor machinery and other material of the plant has been utilized in other portions of the prof ect ar sold to other projects. The railroad to the quarry and clay banks was moved to Granite Reef. where it served purpose Of economy in bring ing to the diversion dam site the rock and concrete materials needed in its construction.

sold the water direct and were CO., operative. while others sold water
 rights which the water user must owT before buying the water. These water
 rights were regarded as of value ir
 themselves. whether the owners haC
 land or not. A few general principles
 were enunciated by the reclamation
 law which had to be complied with
 one being that the water "is married
 to the lands tO use q popular eX-
 precision Another. a policy Of admin
 stratiOn. was outlined by the secre-
 tary of the interior. namely. that the
 government could not deal with each
 individual farmer for obvious reasons
 The farmers were told that they must get together in an organization that could represent them all. settle their differences as to priorities and present d plan by which the govern ment could deal with them as a whole and he assured of the certainty of the repayment of the construction cost of the project
 This led to the formation of the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- ciation. on a plan devised by Judge Joseph II. Kibbey. E. A. Fowler being elected the first president and serving continuously until the election of the present incumbent. John P Orme. a year ago. Judge Kibbey was elected counsel and served continuously with MT. Fowler The organization of this association was the work of months Then came the question of settling priorities which was accomplished by the filing of friendly lawsuit in the name of one of the oldest water users against every other water user in the valley. the court decision to be a record of the priority right of every acre then in cultivation. This suit dragged for two or three years through the court. and was finally settled by a decision rendered by Judge Edward Kent. in March. 1910 It was accomplished in a friendly way by an education of public sentiment in accordance with a theory advanced by Judge Kibbey that there are two occasions when water right is of no value. One is when there is no water for anybody. the other when there is water for all who want it. The first condition frequently faced g large percentage of the farmers. the second condition was to be brought about by water storage IL was that argument. coupled with the assurance of greater value to their lands through the prosperity of a pop ulous community. that induced the prior fighters to submit tO the cost of storage for the benefit of all Un- der the plan. each acre participating in reservoir privileges is mOrtgaged to the association to pay it's propor- tionate cost of the project. the asso- ciation in turn being bound to the government by contract.

DISCHARGE OF WATER.

Skirting the north end Of the dam. almost under the spillway and driven through the solid rock. is tunnel No. ?, 1l5 feet above the river bed Its sole mission is for releasing irriga- ton water when the reservoir shall contain it above that elevation, and when it is desired to release a greater quantity than will come through the constantly running penstock supply ing the power house
 The third exit for stored water. one that is most necessary, but will he least used. and the largest of all. is known as the sluicing tunnel. or tun- nel No. 1. It was driven through the solid mountain circlinG the south end of the site II the river level. before the construction of the dam began. IL will be used for sluicing silt. if necessary. and for releasing a larger irrigation supply than the penstock furnishes. if needed. when the water elevation in the reservoir is below the entrance to tunnel No .

ROOSEVELT POWER HOUSE.

The power house is an immense stone structure. so large it would look like business block if situated on street in city It stands just below the huge dam. from the top of which one looks down on its big flat roof. Within are the turbines. fed through an immense penstock Of steel. running through the dam about half way up it's side. and controlled by gates. This is near the south end of the dam, or more accurately described. it is directly in front Of the power house. which occupies a position on the south bank of the stream. Another building of similar size and appearance stands a few hundred yards down the canyon and contains the machinery for trans forming the current. being the reser- voir terminus of the big power line that carries it to the valley, many miles tO the west

NEW cRosscUT CANAL.
Better Supply for Lower Ditches and
 Added Electric Power.

The perfection of the distributing system will involve the elimination of many needless small ditches through the construction of larger laterals. the more general use of meters and or cement and concrete in ditches and headings, and one large feature of the project. the construction of a new crosscut canal. The new crosscut will be about a mile east of the old one that has been in use for many years. practically paralleling it.
 The wisdom of it's construction lies mainly in two facts One is that the present canal is not large enough. and the other is that by building a new one at the point indicated drop of many feet is secured at one point in its course. making practicable the erection of d hydrO-electric power plant that will develop many hundred horsepower. the energy to he used in pumping the underground flow at va rious points. or sold for commercial purposes, returning a notable revenue to the project
 Unlike the rest of the project. this feature has been undertaken by the Water Users association direct. It was necessary alternative if the canal were tO be secured. for il had to he entered upon in a preliminary way at time when more money for the Salt River project was not avail able in the reclamation fund. To en- able the association to do so the gov ernment delayed for two years the formal opening of the project. when annual payments for construction must begin. That enabled the association to vote an assessment for two wears. the total revenue from which wouI> construct the canal and power plant. before the beginning of the annual payments for construction cost.
 The project engineers have furnished the plans and will superintend con- struction. but the contract will be let and paid direct by the association The preliminaries of this work have been attended to. the collection of the assessment is under way and the con struction of the canal will begin at an early day

INTAKE DAM AND POWER CANAL

The Intake dam was built exclu- sively to serve the power canal. and with il was among the first features of the project given attention As mentioned. it is 400 feet. long. with gates and diversion works at the south end. all built of concrete, all though the dam is little higher than is necessary to divert the normal flow of the river. The power canal is somewhat circuitous. following the high line of the reservoir. and in its 1912 miles it crosses two immense arroyas. or ducks under them, by means Of concrete siphons that were in themselves interesting engineering problems. Other parts Of the canal, where deemed necessary for perma- hence and safety. are cement lined. particularly its lower terminus on the mountainside above the Roosevelt dam.
 Here it's water drops through steel and cement lined tunnel. in the early days of construction called q penstock. though the name was dis carded when larger and more ac- curately described penstock was built ItIousH lllt INfOStNtil udin ulTtCIlN to the permanent power house In the early days of construction temporary power plant was placed in a huge cave eNcavated in the noun tainside just below the dam site and near the foot of the power canal penstock 0ncline tunneD in which were placed the turbines used in early generation of power This equipment remains unit of the completed power plant. as the Intake dam and the Power canal remain permanent features of the storage and power project. Their usefulness is apparent when it is remembered that they are an insurance against com plete loss of power. even when there IS not a drop of stored water in the basin. should such a time arrive. while with a full basin as much or even more power can he derived from the Power canal than from a like amount of water with lower drop.

GRANITE REEF DAM.
Where Water Is Diverted to Both
 Sides of the River.

When L. C. Hill took charge as project engineer cOntempOraneousIy with his study of the work at the Roosevelt dam, he addressed himself to the task of devising an economical distributing system. This culminated in the birth of the Granite Reef di- version dam enterprise, feature of the project that was completed in the summer of 1909
 The Granite Reef dam is situated short distance below the former Ari- zona head, and short distance above the former heads of the upper south side canals It is d weir dam of con crete construction. 1000 feet long be- tween the diversion works on either side and 3s feet high where the river channel is deepest The cost was approximately half million dollars From the south end of the dam new waterway known as the South canal was constructed as the main artery for serving water to all the south side canals. In it's course before it reaches any of the distributing ca nals. is drop which will be the site of d power plant soon to be built.
 The plan included the building ur a new head for the Arizona on the north side. which was long ago ac- cOmplished and the doubling of the capacity of the canal which has been , in progress for the last two years and will take another year or so to complete. huge dredger and an excavatOr are engaged in the work Two of the north side canals have been remOdeled and merged into one magnificent waterway known as the Grand canal Others have been strengthened in places and there may be later eliminationS. A newer and better system of lateral ditches has been in process of construction for the last two or three years. all head gates and diversion works being of concrete and some smaller Cemented ditches have been run. The remodel ing Of the ditch system is worthy of story by itself. and the work is vet far from complete.

OLD TOWN OF ROOSEVELT.

From the very beginning there was need of many labOrers at the dam site. and in the auxiliary works. These made their abiding place in shacks on a bench of the river bank now submerged Their presence drew tradesmen. restaurants markets and what not. with better class of buildings. but all of lumber. for it was known in advance of it's building that it would be doomed city. A postoffice was established and the town grew until it was village of several hundred inhabitants with a considerable social life apart from
