PILGRIMAGE ID DAM WILL BE ARGUMENT
 FOR RECLAIM TON
Celebration Wju Be Held at Roosevelt to SignaIize Storing of Over Million Acre Feet of Water

PHOENIN. Mar 20 The best ar.
 gumut for reclamation will be pre- sented on April 18th at Phoenix and the Roosevelt Dam On that day the
 population of the Salt River valley will make a pilgrimage to the Dam to celebrate the storing of over one million acre feet of water now held
 in the great reservoir It is expected that by Che date of the biz event there will be SO much water that it win be overflowing the spiilways and the en- tire capacity will be reached
 Tweuty-eight square miles of a lake is created by this stored water It will amply supply the 100000 acres in the Salt River Irrigation project for several years without the addition of a spoonful Go the amount now on hand. The water would make canal forty-five feet wide eight feet deep, and twenty-five thousand miles long. Surely an occasion for rejoicing.
 The irrigation works Of the Salt River valley project were the first to be undertaken by the United States Service and up to date about $ll.0OO,OOO have been spent in the construction of storage. power and diversion plants, and in the enormous of canals and laterals. The revenue from power is an important factor in this scheme and it is- expect ed that a large proportion of the cost of the entire system will be deirayed from the income from power sales. The crops from the 100000 acres m- der irrigation and intensive cultiya- ton should average a very handsome amount each year, and the Added wealth to the nation is no small iac- tor. Surely the yindication Of the poll cy of roclaiming arid lands is eyi- denced in this celebration Arizona is. indeed, fortunate in having ths splendid irrigation system established within her borders The success Of this project win Doe a stimuIant to other plans of merit and the final re- suit to the state will be Of enormous value

Alaskan Timber,

In accordance with the recent act
of congress, the wood needed in build
ing the government railway in Alaska,

to Fairbanks, in the interior, will be
taken free of charge from the Chu-
zach national forest. The forest serv-
ice has issued permit to the Alas
kan engineering commission to cut
85,000000 feet of timber in designated
areas along the right of way of the
new railway, which will run for sew
eral miles through the Chugach ma
tional forest. Forest service en-
ployees are now marking the timber
to be cut-only mature trees, the re-
moval of which will improve the for
est. That will be the largest quantity
of timber ever felled in the Alaskan
forests as a part of one undertaking.
1t will be nearly twice as large as the
total quantity of timber now cut in the
national forests and annually put to
local uses throughout Alaska, but only
a little more than one-tenth of the es-
timated annual growth of the Alaskan
forests. IRE two national forests OF
Alaska contain about $4,000, 100000
feet of merchantable timber, and the
forest service estimates that more
than 800,00O,000 feet could be cut ev-
cry year forever without lessening
