DAM COLORADO RIVER
 AND BUILD AN EMPIRE

When the water power of the Colo rado river as it flows through the Grand Canyon is properly harnessed and the flood waters are diverted for use in irrigating millions of fertile acres, then Arizona will be a mighty empire. There can be developed, am. pie water power for a great variety of manufacturing plants without les sening the use of water for other pur- poses. In fact providing the power by means of gigantic dam, would nat urally make the flood waters avail able for irrigation.
 With dam 2000 feet in height water would back up to Grand Juno tion, Colorado, and great inland lake, capable of carrying steamboats would be created. From this the greater portion of the vast plains of the state could be irrigated and would become the seat of happy homes. Of course the venture is one that is beyond the reach of private capital. It would require government aid, but the returns from the area re- claimed, aside from the power afford ed, would add a constantly increasing revenue to taxable wealth. It would provide farms for thousands who have no land and it would give an oppor- tunity to reward the soldiers and sail ors of the late war who desire to fol- low agricultural pursuits.
 It might require $50,000,000 to put in the dam and make the necessary canals. If so, that would be only a cost of $25 per acre, should 2,000,O0O acres be redeemed and more than that area is within easy reach. There is ample water also.--Phoenix Messen- ger.
