Elsewhere is reprinted the. final
proceedings in the famous $4,000
fee case which was brought to an end
by a compromise effected through
Judge Motter, who was besought by

Tucker estate paid 1000 of it and
Mrs. Smith, the administrative, who
is one of the heirs personally paid
$1,000, thus making $4,000. A
pretty costly administration to Mrs.

The Dedication Of The
Roosevelt Dam.
How 100000 Acres of Arid
Land are Being Reclaimed
in Salt River Valley.

One of the most notable engineer
ing achievements of this decade, and
an event of far reaching importance
to Arizona, was formally cclebrated
on Saturday, March 18th. The great
Roosevelt Dam, the construction OF
which has been watched for several
years with interest by engineers from
all over the world, was dedicated on
that date in the presence of Il large
assemblage, notable among whom
were former President Roosevelt and
family, the Governor Of the Territory,
members Of the Legislature, engineers
of the Reclamation Service, and
prominent citizens of the Southwest.
1t is cmincntly fitting that the
principal orator of the occasion should
be former President Roosevelt. 1t
due to his vigorous aAd vlrle person
ality that national irrigation came
into being, and it was his pen which
wrote into the statutes of the United
States the national irrigation law. I'm

est in the cause Of desert reclamation
the people named for him the i'm
posing structure which has just been
finished.
DE ,CRIPTION OF THE ROOSE-
NELT DAM.
The Roosevelt Dam is the most
important masonry structure which
the Reclamation Service has under
taken. 1t is also the most impressive.
I'm the variety of the engineering
problems, in the magnitude of the
structure, and in the extraordinary
character and number of difficulties
which were surmounted in prosccut-
ing the work, this great work ranks
first among the irrigation structures
on this continent. The layman and
even the engineer will not readily
appreciate the complcXity of the
problems and the diversity of obsta-
Giles which were encountered, with
out an understanding of the locality
in which the work was carried on i.
The dam is located in a canyon here
toforc regarded as almost inaccessible
except to the nomadic Apache, who
found safe refuge here for many years,
or to the lonely prospector who later
ventur.d into this remote region in
search of precious minerals. The
nearest railway is 81 miles away.
For 20 miles the trail led through u
waterless, parchcd and forbidding
desert, where every bit of vegetation
was covered with thorns and every
thing that crawled was deadly. For
more than 40 miles the mountains,
gashcd and fissured into fantastic
forms, presented an almost insuper-
able barrier to ingress. In the fast
nesses of these barren sleeps, the
turbulent Salt River has carved "a
wonderful gorge, a miniature of the
f,mous Grand Canyon of the Colora-
d.. At the entrance of the gorge,
between almost perpendicular cliffs
of sandstone, the engineers decided
upon a site for the massive structure

The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1911-10-27

The Seattle Post-lntelligencer has
been putting up the question, what
constitutes a progressive republican,
and goes on to ask, eff an instruction
in the party-what is it's basis, and,
moreover, what is it's hope?" If an
effort is made to answer the inter-
rogatory by any one tainted by the
leprosy of SO called prOgressivism as
it is preached by those who use it as
means to an end, and which is mere
ly a violation of party allegiance, that
answer will be evasive. abusive and
made up of assertions without founda-
ton of fact. Among the leaders this
progressivism looks like an assump-
ton of virtue as an excuse for treach-
cry to the republican party. 1t is the
declaration of small minority that
if they can not rule they will ruin.
Started as a crusade against Cannon,
and the rules of the house of congress,
it has developed into a crusade against
the republican party. While his SYM
pathy is with the democratic party,
the progressive feels that he can &C
complish more for the success of that
party by sailing under false colors.
His position is a cowardly political
subterfuge If he believes the repub-
lican party has deteriorated and retro
graded he should have the courage to
go over to the other side and make his
fight in the open. The leaders are
playing for self ACKNOWLEDGMENT. They
set up claim of being politically pure
and undefiled, all others are unclean
1t is the egotism of self-righteousness
with records behind them that belle
their claim. Their hope is to bring de-
feat to the republican party next year
If they succeed, the majority will be
found in the democratic ranks hence
forward, for they are playing for pre-
ferment and will go with the strong
est party in the hopes of gaining their
ends.
