MAKING THE DESERT
TO BLOSSOM AGAIN
Director Newell Describes Work
of Government Reclama-
ton Service.

To create opportunities for American
citizens is the basic intent OF the Re-
ciamation Act. says Frederick III.
Newell. director of the United States
Reclamation service, in the Worlds
Work. He says:
To make habitable millions of acres
of worthless desert and to place there
on in homes of their own a million
families of progressive American citi-
zens--these are the vital things in the
work of the Reclamation service which
/ am trying to accomplish"
In the ten years OF it's work the serv-
ice has built 1900 miles of annals,
enough to- reach from New York to San
Francisco and back. Several of these
canals carry whole rivers.
1t has eNcavared III miles OF unnels
It's excavations of rock and earth
amount to the enormous total of 3d.
O0O. 900 cubic yards.
1t has built 626 miles OF road: 1904
miles OF telephones; 20 miles of levees.
1t has purchased 1.05l.OOO barrels OF
cement and has manufactured in it's
own mill 100000 barrels.
AS q esult Of its work. water is
available for 1,159,a34 acres ON 14.2O0
farms
The gross value of crops produced on
the lands irrigated by the government
projects in 1912 was estimated at $780,
10000. AS a result of the work of the
government it is estimated hat land
values have increa sed more than $780,
$780, 900.
Only S per cent of the Approximately
$4,000 families have failed TO meet the
requirements: only 6 TO : per cen have
sold or ~relinquished their land for II
consideration. So that o % per
cent have remained and are making
good"
The highest Ian in the world has
been built on the Shoshone project in
northern Wyoming, rising above the
foundation more than 32S feet. A dam
still higher is under way on the Boise
river in Idaho, to be 351 feet high. On
the Rio and III New Mexico is an
other dam to be 265 feet high. This
will produce possibly the largest arti-
fetal lake of it's kind in the world,
covering 66 square miles (41.2SO acres)
and having a storage capacity of $780,
900 acre-fcet. This is an amount of
of acres one foot in depth. This guam
tity of water would cover the state of
Connecticut more than 10 inches deep.
The service has built the longest irri-
CATION unnel in the world on the I'm
compahgre project in Colorado, the
Gunnison tunnel. having q length of
nearly 6 miles and IL discharge capacity
of 1900 cubic feet per s~econd--a good
sized river. Practically every govern
ment in the world that is building pub
lie works has sent engineers to see

them to become healthy. This be

more difference between the seasons
both in respect of duration and Of
temperature; and the northern hemis-
phere, favored by long summer, is
warmer than the southern hemisphere.
On the planet Mars, therefore, there
are extreme variations of climate and

of water, marine animals, fish espe-
cially, differ, doubtless, very little from

have more quickly crushed the great
reptiles, which have long been extinct.
On the contrary, the plumage Of birds
