The Roosevelt dam in Arizona,
which was dedicated last week, de-
servedly ranks as one of the tre-
mendous engineering triumphs of
this hemisphere. The dam at it's
highest point is 2S0 feet from bot
tom to top, and the lake formed by
it will irrigate an area twice as large
as the state of Rhode Island. Salt
River valley, worthless from time
beyond memory of man, will now
bloom like the rose wherever the
main canals 100 miles in length and
their branches extending laterally
200 miles away penetrate the parch-
ed desert. Republican.
The Hawley Times in comment
ing upon the Elite Banquet says:
Judge A. T. Searle, whose address
at last years banquet could not well
be forgotten, and whose personality
is grace to any place or occasion,
was guest of the clubmen for the
evening. He was called upon for a
speech. He protested his want of
and that he was present
simply for the good companionship
of the hour and to hear his distin-
guished conferee. He, however, was
not without subject-matter, chimed
in most felicitously with the senti-
ments of Mr.. Greene, pointed what
he had to say with a humorous tale
or two, and then distributed gifts of
office around among the young men
when Hawley should become mum
Judge Searle is a prime
favorite with the young men here
and is sure never to be left out of
a company like this.
