10000 acres of land have already been
taken up, and they will soon be COW

The Roosevelt Farm.
The largest dam Of all. however,
is the Roosevelt dam. the com pletion
of which was celebrated last spring,
and whose water is now flowing over
thousands of acres which short line

heart of Sahara This is situated in
the Salt River valley in southern Ari-

named The Land That God Forgot"
Nevertheless it was irrigated TO some
extent in ancient times. and the white
man has irrigated farms there for
over forty years. Apache Indians here
aided in the government work.
The dam Will hold back a million
and a quarter acre feet of water, and
it will make 100000 acres a very Gar

used in its construction. This was

dam is a wedge of solid concrete
higher than the dome of the national
capitol at Washington, and it holds
back a beautiful lake. 100 feet deep,

dam is eghty-five feet long at the
bottom and it rises up to a distance
of 32S feet between nearly perpendic-

land upon earth. OF this 1880

works are completed.
