The celebration of the completion of the Roosevelt dam makes peculiarly appropriate. at this time. brief his torical review oi that enterprise \ detailed history of all the more ar less influential factors in the intia- ton of the project. and completion Of the storage reservoir. many of them merely incidental. would be beyond the compass of a newspaper story. and beyond our purpose. It is not because those details are not impor- tant that they are here omitted but because their impartial relation must be left to some future historian. with more space and more time at his dis posal.
 IL is our purpose now to merely sketch the events that led to the present consummation. and the con- ditiOns that prompted it.
 The history of irrigation projects in the Salt River Valley, anterior to the inauguration of the reclamation pro- ject is chiefly the story of failure after failure. These failures were due largely to natural conditions and to want of knowledge and appre- ciation of them. as we'll as to the in- adequacy of capital with which to construct proper works. Th;ss state ment does not necessarily involve criticism of the efforts or the methods Of the pioneers of irrigation in this valley.
 The Salt River. with its tributarles, is torrential stream. carrying vol umes of water varying. at the head of the valley. from hundreds of thou sands of cubic feet flow per second to less than one hundred cubic feet This alone made fl impossible. with out an expenditure of money vastly in

 our readers. who have lived here that long. need only for themselves mentally to contrast the situation ot today with that of ten years ago today.
 The greatest single influence that has brought all this tO pass was that of Theodore Roosevelt. who is here tu dedicate the completed storage dam. which now most appropriately bears his name. to the uses for which it was designed; to the reclamation and fructification of this. one of the greatest and destined to be one of the most prosperous and happy valleys in the world.
