patton of High School students from
the three towns. True many farm

HON. A. A. JONES REPRESENTS
PRESIDENT AT DEDICATION.
Great irrigation Project, Completed at
Expense Of s15,ooo,ooo, Turned
over to Association.
wsslsrn Nswspapar unIon Nsws ssrvlee.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Elephant Butte, N. M.-Three hun
dred and fifty delegates to the Inter
national Irrigation Congress ana Inter.
national Farm Congress, accompanied
by A. A. Jones, personal representa-
tive Of President Wilson, and other
guests, arrived here to attend the ded-
ication Of the Elephant Butte dam
which has just been completed at a
cost OF S16, 10000.
Brig. Gen. George Bell. Jr., and
Brig. Gen. Charles @. Morton, COM
manders Of the Eleventh and Tenth
divisions, United States army, accom-
panied Mr.. Jones to the dam. A COM
pany and band from the Twenty third
United States infantry acted as escort
for the representative Of the Presi-
dent from Cutter, N. NJ.
Immediately upon the arrival Of the
special train carrying Mr.. Jones and
his party the formal dedication of the
dam was begun. Standing on o plat
form built over the .spillway Of the
dam and in the shadow of the stone
elephant, which gave the dam its
name, Mr.. Jones, for the President,
delivered his dedicatory address to the
crowd which lined the banks of the
artificial lake and stood on the top Of
the concrete dem.
That reclamation through irrigation
was the first need of the arid regions
of the West was declared by Mr.
Jones. The reason for this statement,
Mr.. Jones said, was that all other re-
sources of the West depended upon
the presence of human beings in that
section, and the fact that soil prod
ucts made possible by irrigation were
necessary for the support Of the In
habitants.
Il am told" said the Presidents
representative, "that this dam at the
top is sixteen feet in width, 1000 feet
long, that the base is 205 feet thick,
and is anchored to a foundation 318
feet below the crest: $4,000 cubic
yards of concrete are bound together
by %interlacing bars of steel. This
million IONS of material is sufficient
TO construct on a city lot twenty-five
feet by 1875 feet a pillar of concrete
lacking only fifty feet of being a mile
in height. In it's bosom are fixed at
tachments for the generation of the
equivalent of $4,000 horsepower in
electrical energy. The reservoir IN
storage capacity surpasses any other
ever constructed. When filled, 1t will
contain more tnan 1900, 900 acre feet
Of water-enough to cover a depth of
n foot an area of 1900 square miles.
This is two-thirds more than the lom-
bined capacity of all the reservoirs
built or projected for the city of
Greater New York. 1t will actually
submerge more than $4,000 acres of
land, and extend to a maximum length
of forty-five miles. The project is de-
signed to irrigate and enable the in
tensive cultivation Of 10000 acres of
land"
