The street car carried the machine

Notice to Homesteaders:

Notice to Homesteaders:
 While the new order from the Sec retary of the Interior that all home steaders under the Reclamation Ser vice will have to dispose of all their holdings in excess of 40 acres, either by assignment OF Telinquishment, has caused consternation among all those affected the result will not be. so serious as first thought, and any homesteader affected by this new ruling should be able to get back not only all he has spent, but a good profit besides. It seems generally understood that all who have made final proof can assign their excess holdings, and all who have not vet made final proof can relinquish. Un less further orders come from the department or the General Land Office, the lands relinquished can be re-entered by others, and there is no one having lands under any of the canals who should not be able to se- cure enough from prospective entry men for making relinquishments to more than reimburse them for all money spent as well a s making a handsome profit and still have 40 acres left with water.

MARSHALL AND HILL
 LEAVE FOR THE DAM
Prominent Engineer in Interior Depart ment Sees Structure for First
 Time; Helped Plan 1t.

Now that the Roosevelt dam has been successfully completed, one of its old est friends, Brig Gen. Marshall. form erly of the army board that passed on the dam site before it's purchase by the government is going to see the re- suit of his planning. With Supervis- ing Engineer Louis C. Hill of the southern district and Engineer Harris of the electrical division of the recla- nation service, General Marshall left yesterday morning for Roosevelt.
 The trip will comprise two days or real sight seeing. With not an official care to bother. the two officers of the engineering department will see the country purely from the enjoyment standpoint.
 The immense improvement in the Salt River valley since the building of the dam and the cultivation of many additional acres has so impressed the general that he lacks words to express himself. Of course with the building of such a project as this. it is natural that great agricultural progress sholld be made, but the substantial manner in which the improvements have been made is in itself a great testimonial to the character of the valleys inhabi- tants, says the engineer. The problems have not been all in the fields or at the head gates, but in the markets and shipping points. The fact that the val ley is meeting such complicated puZz- ling situations and overcoming them is a strong vote in favor of irrigation of large quantities of land by the federal government.
