been rapid, Notwithstanding isolated
location of the principal engineering
works from transportation and the
many difficulties which have been
encountered in the promotion of the
work. Up TO the present time the ca
nal systems constructed have a total
length of 1921 miles. Many of these
canals carry whole rivers. Placed
end to end they would reach from
New York city to San Francisco and
back to New Orleans. Tunnels hav-
ing a total length of 16 miles have
been e~xcavated, mostly through
mountains. The excavation of rock
and earth amount to the enormous
total OF sc, 600, 900 cubic yards, or
more than one-third of the yardage
required for the Panama canal. Ow-
ing to the location of some of the
principal works in regions heretofore
inaccessible, the reclamation service
has been compelled to construct 575
miles, some of which are in the most
rugged country on this continent. The
service has in operation 1908 miles

sion lines, and is furnishing power

turing uses to seven cities and towns

washington-A graphic statement

irrigation projects and the success

AT the present time there are IS
projects in various stages Of construc-

acreage involved in these projects is
5000, 900 which will provide homes
for approximately $4,000 persons on
farms, and an equal number in cit
les, towns and villages within this
area or in the neighborhood thereof,
or a total of $4,000 people. The
total area now under water is 1900
900 acres, on which have been estab-
lished approximately $4,000 families

IRRIGATED CROPS VALUED
AT SIS. OOO. 900

Washington.-The gross value of
crops produced in 1910 on lands
which We're supplied by the govern
ment irrigation systems approximate
ed $4,000, 900. The value of the i'm
provements of the settlers. including
buildings, fences, etc, is $500. 600.
The value of live stock is $4,000, 600.
The total Increase in the values in
Guiding lands, implements. buildings,
livestock, etc, as a result of provid-
ing irrigation for these farms. is not
less than $50, 900, 900. Comparing
the former selling prices of the other
lands which are included in the gov
eminent projects but not yet irrigat-
ed, with the prices at which they are
now being sold, an additional in
crease in values of $780, 900, 900 is
shown as a result of this development.
There is no more hopeful sign in
connection with the BODYBUILDING
work of the government than the
surprisingly large number of settlers
who have left the cities and towns to
take up their homes in the desert.
The reports from the field are graft
flying for the reason that a very small
percentage of failures is shown.
Information from all sources shows
no dimunition in the movement Of the
people to the west. Railroads report
that the ravel has been above the av-
erage, with a promise Of great in
crease in the fall.
At present the government farms
are limited to five projects, and in
cludes only $3.50 farm units. The
