foundation September 20, 1906. The
last stone was laid on the coping 2S4
feet above, February 6, 1911. The up
per face of the dam is almost perpen-
dicular. The lower face retreats like
the pyramids in huge stone steps from
the width of 10 feet in the founda-
ton, to 16 feet at the top.
No less interesting are the auxili-
ary and correlated works, such as the
cement mill, the hydgo-electric plants
for generating 5000 horsepower and
what is termed the power canal, built
to operate the first unit of the cleo
trio plant, creating power for dam
construction.
Skirting the north end of the dam,
almost under the spillway and driven
through the solid rock is tunnel No.
2, 115 feet above the river bed. It's
sole mission is to release irrigation
water when the reservoir shall con-
tain it above that elevation, and when
it is desired to release greater quaint
ity than will come through the pen
stock, supplying the power house.

that is most necessary, but will be
least used, and the largest of all, is
known as the sluicing tunnel, or tun-
mel No. |. 1t was driven through the
solid mountain circling the south end
of the site, at the river level, before
construction of the dam began. 1t
will be used for sluicing silt, if neces-
sary, and for releasing a larger irri.
cation supply than the penstock fur
nishes, if needed, when the water
elevation in the reservoir is below
the entrance to tunnel No. 2.
Among the earliest construction
features was the building of freight
road 60 miles long from Mesa City,
the nearest available railroad point
to the Roosevelt dam site. OF this,
% miles is across a desert and 3S
miles through the most impressive
mountain scenery in the west. The
road was constructed for permanency
and though as crooked as a knotted
rope and often winding around the
face of cliff, it is as fine a thor
oughfare as a city street.
The foregoing constructions consti

tute the larger features of the .stor-
age enterprise sixty miles or more
above the lands to be irrigated The
distributing system is no less inter-
esting though no one feature is so
great. The water released from the
dam runs down the river channel for
nearly 60 miles to Granite reef, a
point just below the confluence of the
Verde and Salt rivers, where a con-
crete weir dam 1000 feet long and
SO feet high, diverts water through
main canal on either side of the
river, to numerous canals below, COW
ering the entire reservoir district
The allotment of funds for this prof.
it may take two millions more to fully
complete all contemplated 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 hy-
dro electric power at favorable places
along the canals, the power to be
used mainly in developing an auxili-
airy irrigation water supply pumped
from the vast underground resources.
1t is calculated that the reservoir, or
gravity flow, will eventually water
10000 acres and that $4,000 acres
will be watered by pumps.

S.S.S.
PURELY VEGETABLE
The ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed Of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t IS
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results 1 without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
tonic it invigorates every portion OF
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. 1t has been in
use for more than forty years and IS
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

The Post has suggested describing

six bushels of oats; he gave the driver
a half dozen cabbages as a tip; his
breakfast cost a quarter of ton of
hay; he tips the waiter a busheI of
potatoes; his room costs half car of
turnips per diem. Now society report
ing is meant to dazzle the common
min, which frequently refuses to be
dazzled because it does not properly
translate the money spent unto food

THE UNATTAlNABLE.
He was such a great logician
He dismayed all opposition
At the bar;
He won half a thousand cases
And his fame to many places
Spread afar.
So to Congress they promoted
Him. and there he soon was noted
In debate;
For his logic and forensic
Gifts made opposition men sick
He was great,
Not, despite his best endeayor,
Never, never, never
In his life
Has he won one point or bargu
That he undertook to argue
With his wife.

sented to the mothers as they came in.
The instruction upon the regular

and meaning of Mothers Day" Rec
itations and solos were rendered by

Gehr sang a solo. An address of rare
beauty was made by Mr.. George Gehr.
The pastor also delivered an address.
The singing by the school was sup
ported by the piano, violin, trombone

for the tender memories 1T awakened
and the sweet reverence it enkindled
