the State and the Federal Govern
ment. The assessed valuation of the
lands is about $1.25 per acre. The
minimum selling price for state lands
is three dollars per acre.
To get this project started properly
it will be necessary to have the rail-
road place a valuation on lands own
ed by them.
Then an Irrigation District will be
formed and bonds voted. The bonds
will be used to pay for the project.
The expense will fall only on lands
actually benefited and water will be
paid for at a cost basis, so much for
maintenance, etc.
Cost of Construction.
Estimates vary on the cost of the
completed project They vary from
year will be required to finish the
work.
From other sources we have gath
cred the following information:
Construction of Unit No. /
This unit will require the building
of two canals, also a diversion dam
in the Little Colorado River.
One of the canals, the "Winslow
South Side Canal" would be construct
ed on the south side of the river. This
would serve the town of Winslow and
sss above the round house, engine
house, coal chute, ETC., of the Santa
Fe Railroad Company, about one and
one half miles west of Winslow. This
canal also would serve 10000 acres
of land lying directly north and west
of Winslow along the Little Colorado
River.
Another canal, the 'Winslow North
Side low Line" would be constructed
north and east of the river with a
carrying capacity of 5000 second feet
decreasing in size to correspond with
the requirements of the area served.
This canal would be so miles in
length and would serve $4,000 acres,
lying adjacent and parallel to the
river on the east and north sides.
The lands vary in width from one to
five miles, and have light slopes that
can be irrigated at minimum cost.
Storage Reservoir on The Little
Colorado
On account of the large drainage
area of the Colorado and Zuni Rivers
and the favorable location for large
storage reservoir, together with other
natural advantages, it is proposed
to construct first the storage reser-
voir near Woodruff known as the
Navajo Reservoir" Maximum capa-
city 300 900 acre feet.
The canal known as the "WinslOw
North Side High Line Canal" would
be constructed to serve the lands of
this unit The canal would have a
capacity of 500 second feet decreas-
ing in size to correspond with the
requirements of the area served. This
canal would be located at a higher
elevation than Unit No. l and lay
east and north of it. The canal
would serve $4,000 acres, of which
about half is on a light slope and the
remainder on slopes varying from
five to ten per cent; all of which
can be irrigated economically
By development of this project in
the manner outlined above, it will
bring the lands to be irrigated first,

had an instructive desire for new con-
quests. Thru this desire he has gone
out into the wild places of the world
and overcome mighty obstacles.
Conquest is second nature to the
human race and with each new work
performed by man was just sufficient
been made a cleaner and better place
in which to live.
Before the Stone Age, the work
performed by man was just sufficient
to supply him with the few necessi-
ties of life. But later on in the
Stone Age, man really started to
think more or less intelligently
With his thoughts taking concrete
form, he planned and prepared for
future pOsterity.
And so, coming down through the
ages, man has finally arrived at a
point where practically nothing is
impossible. Irrigation in particular
has been one of the greatest bOons
to civilization.
Today in this paper, very clever
drawing is reproduced This draw
ing is the work of Mr.. B. w Gregg,
of Winslow and is his conception of
the appearance of the WinSlow Irri-
cation Project when it becomes an
actual reality.
This project is as yet an embroyo,
but when it does materialiZe, we are
going to have at our very door a
wealth that is beyond the dreams of
the most avaricious.
The project will mean the reclama-
tion by irrigation of approximately
$4,000 acres of land in the Valley of
tho ittlo Colorado Il will irriOat o
Tucker Flat as we'll, which comes un-
der this project.
A Diversion Dam will be construct
ed in the Little Colorado a few miles
east of Hobson Station. The water
The Winslow mail., 1923-03-23

has caused deposit of silt at the
navajo site of, perhaps, 20 feet in
depth. Inquiries among the older
inhabitants indicate that the depth
of silt is approximately as stated
above.
A concrete and masonry cutoff wall
will be constructed on the center line
of the dam, extending into the solid
rock sides and bottom and project
ing above same for at least five feet.
From this point a board cutoff wall
will be carried up through the rock
fill to the top. The earth will be
sluiced into the rock and this fence
will prevent its escape, thereby max
ing an absolutely water tight dam.
This is not an experiment.
The outlet for the Navajo Reservoir
will be constructed in the side of the
solid rock cliff. The exposed walls
will be of reinforced concrete. There
will be two sets of controlling gates
placed in a concrete tower SO that
access may be had to the valves
should any mishap occur. With gates
properly installed there need be no
fear of mishaps. At some cOnvinient
point below the reservoir a measuring
flume will be constructed; with this
devise the quantity discharged from
the reservoir will be known. Ample
spillway provisions will be made for
all dams.
Hardy Dam
The Hardy Diversion dam will be
concrete, oE the hollow buttressed
type. Any surplus waters will spill
directly over the top. Quick acting
steel sluice gates will be pro-
vided at both ends in order to draw
any silt away from the canal head
gates.
In Conclusion
This project will be a reality. 1t
is essential to the proper growth OF
Winslow and the surrounding coun-
try.
1t is not too far fetched to say with
absolute certainty Winslow will be
city of from 10000 to 10000 within
three years of the finish of this pro-
ject.

Shall Blossom" and it is up to every
person who has the well being OF
this community at heart to help this
project along in any and every way
possible.

directly under all the drainage area
ofv the Little Colorado River east OF
Winslow.
This includes the Rio Puerco and
Zuni Rivers, Chevelon Forks and all
Tributaries above the diversion dam
at Hardy.
These lands, therefore, would hav
the benefit of all of the runoff from
be used for direct irrigation.
The Importance of this will be bet
ter realized when it is known that
during July, August, and September,
or the latter part of the irrigation
season, they usually have the hea-
West rainfall of the year.
The Spring also furnishes cOnsid-
cradle runoff from melting SHOWS and
occasional rains, which can also be
utilized for irrigation direct
Some years it would only be neces-
sary to use of stored waters for a
short period at the beginning of the
irrigation season, during May, June
and the first part of July. This would
give an opportunity for the storage
to accumulate during the years when
they have more than the normal rain
fall
AS each unit is developed going up
stream, step by step, the certainty
of the runoff and the amount of wat
er that can be stored each year will
be better established, and if it is
found after the last unit is completed
that there still is an excess of runoff,
another reservoir can be provided at
reasonable cost
There are numerous other good re-
servoir sites along the Little Colo
rado River that can be utilized for
storage.
Navajo Dam
The Navajo Dam will be located in
a solid rock canyon near Woodruff.
The dimensions are as follows:
Height, 130 feet; length on bottom,
$50 feet, type-loose rock fill, with
10 feet crown and 1 to ~ slope,
faced with earth. 10 feet crown and
to 1 slope, which gives a total
crown width of 20 feet. Earth face
to have a rock riprap l foot thick
A small diversion dam about 20
feet in height has been constructed
about a mile below this point and is
used by the ranchers in the vicinity
of Woodruff as means of dividing
the water into their laterals. This

PROLOGUE

Out on the hot desert wastes rode
a man on a weary horse. For many
miles man and beast had carried on
a slow fight with nature at her
worst. The sun beat down with mer-
ciless intensity, and the heat waves
reflected back from the hot desert
sands into the blistered face of the
man.
Now and then he would dismount,
and, with weary hands shading his
tired and blood shot eyes, eagerly
scan the horizon.
Toward evening he stopped again
and scanning the country with eager
eyes, his face suddenly lighted with
a ray of hope. For there, some dis
tance beyond he saw stream.
The man made his camp on the
edge of the water, and after hum
BILE meal, he filled his pipe, and as
the smoke rings floated away, he
gazed long into the glowing embers
of the fire.
After a time his head nodded
drowsily and he slept.
Some time after, he awake with a
start and a wonderful sight met his
eyes; for from the purple shadows of
the desert there came a vision of
such splendor that caused him to feel
a glow of peace and contentment.
In his vision he saw the land COW
cred with trees and green shrubbery;
the sweet scent of alfalfa came to
his nostrils and lowing cattle were
grazing amongst the green grasses.
Many beautiful homes dotted the
land for miles around, and peace and
contentment reigned supreme in the
land

OF LAND TO Be IRRIGATED

will be diverted two ways to cover
the lands on the north and south
side of the river. A canal will pass
about one mile south of Winslow and
just west of the Santa Fe Round
House.
The essential features of this pro-
ject, comprise the storage of the flood
waters of the Little Colorado, Rio
Puerco, Chevelon Creek and their
tributaries. The Navajo Reservoir,
near Woodruff, will have a capacity
of 100000 acre feet and a drainage
area of approximately 5000 square
miles. About the same drainage area
as the Roosevelt Dam.
Near Hobson, the storage will be
about 10000 acre feet and the drain
age area at that point is about $4,000
square miles.
Elevation
The average elevation of the lands
embraced within this project is 1900
feet above sea level The water re-
quirementS are estimated at between
two and three acre feet per acre per
annum.
Character of Lands
The lands in this area are sandy
loan in character and have a suffi-
cient slope to give drainage The
slope, however, is very gradual. At
the present time about 1000 acres are
irrigated from the permanent flow
of the river.
Crops.
Alfalfa has been the principal crop
on this irrigated land, an acre yield
ing about three tons annually. Small
fruits, grain and vegetables that will
grow in a temperate climate can be
grown here.
With the completion of the project
sugar beet raising will undoubtedly
be one of the chief industries. This
land is practically the same in cha
racter as the rich sugar beet lands
of Northern Utah and Southern Idaho.
Lettuce will also be one of the prin-
cipal crops One rancher near Win
slow has planted sixty acres in let
tuce and a Los Angeles Commission
firm has contracted for the whole
crop. This sixty acres will raise
approximately Is cars of lettuce.
When the lettuce season is over
in Phoenix and the Imperial Valley
of California, the crops here will be
ready for market
Celery as good as can be grown
anywhere will grow in this acreage
We have the right altitude and eli
mate to produce all crops of this sort
Ownership
The lands embraced in this project
are owned by the Railroad Company,

MOVIES

A dance on board the second finest yacht on the Pacific Coast-scenes at fashionable afternoon tea in San Francisco; grand ball at a magnifi- cent hotel-these are some of the scenes in Moran of the Lady Letty," produced by George Melford for Para mount and to be shown at the Elm press theater tonight, which, while es- sentially sea story, is nevertheless by features quite foreign to the sea.
 It is at the afternoon tea that the spectator first sees Rudolph Valen- tino, leading man, and learns that he is bored to extinction by the shallow ness of society life. Later he is shanghaied while en route to a dance aboard the yacht and meets for the first time Moran, an elemental girl who dresses like a man and commands a ship. This role is played by Dor othy Dalton, who is featured in the picture.
 Again, at the close of the picture, there is the magnificent array of fash ion in the hotel scenes.

CHINESE ARMY DIVISION
 ADOPTS CHRISTIAN FAITH

CHICAGO, March 29.-The Elev- called by some "the Chinese Iron
 sides," commanded by Major Gen.
 eral Feng Yu Hsiang, known as
 "the Cromwell of China" has be-
 come solidly Christian, according to
 a cablegram received today by the
 Board of oFreign Missions of the
 Methodist Episcopal Church.
 The cablegram, which was from the Rev. Edward Kingsley Lowry re- turned missionary to China residing
 in Picking, told of the conversion of 4,OOO soldiers of the Eleventh Divi- sion, with General Feng assisting at the ceremony According to the Board of Foreign Missions there were only about this number of sol diers remaining in General Feng's division who were not Christians so the Board infers that this completes the personnel of this fighting group of China.
 It was General Feng and his Eleventh Division which swooped down from Shensi Province to the relief of Peking, then being defended by General Wu Pei Flu in the fight ing of last Summer General Feng threw his men into the path of the Manchurians and hurled them back in defeat, which event ually resulted in rout. At that time the Christian soldiers were arm bands containing the stern military ideals of their leader. They ad- vanced to the fray singing Christian hymns. This division is the only one in the Chinese army in which there is definite welfare work and vocational training for the men, all 1f which is due to the constructive activity of their leader, the Board | states.
