Total production of all crops,

The drop in the purchasing

CONTRACT LET FOR BIG DAM

Washington, D. c., Dec. q
Contract for building the Cool.
idge dam on the San Carlos 10.
dian reclamation project in Ari
zona, was awarded today to the
Atkinson -Spicer Company OF
Los Angeles, whose bid was S2,.
268, ,525.
The Atkinson-Spicer company
was the lowest of nine bidders
who submitted tenders to the
Interior Department. Congress
authorized construction Of the
dam at a cost not to exceed $5,-
100000.
The contractor must excavate
about $4,000 cubic yards Of
earth, sand and gravel and a.
600 cubic yards of rock in the
river bed. The company must
also strip the sides of the can.
yon and dig a spillway excava
tion, necessitating removal in all
of 1875, 900 cubic yards.
The dam project calls for 1877, !.
600 cubic yards of concrete and
the placing of approximately
,5OO,O0 lbs of reinforced steel,
| J 1000, 900 lbs. of structural steel
and 900, 1000 lbs. of cast iron gates
and valves.
The dam ultimately will irri-
gate approximately 1913, 900 acres
of arid lands. in the Florence
Casa Grande district of the ella
Valley. Present plans, how
ever, call for the irrigation of
IS, 900 acres Immediately after
construction is completed, with
the remainder of the available
area to be included as water ac-
cumulates behind the dam.
The dam site is about rs miles
east of Florence in box canyon,
a short distance below San Car
los. The great size of the stor
age reservoir and the compare
lively large ratio of the storage
colume to the mean annual run
off combined to render the &C
emulation of silt relatively un
portant, thereby relegating a
trou blesome problem to the dis
tant future and virtually assur
ing an annual draft of 32O, 900
acre feet of water over a long
period of time.
The multiple-dome type of de
sign has been employed. Three
domes and two intermediate
buttresses constitute the struc.
ture. Maximum height of the
dam is $50 feet from bedrock and
22O feet from the bed of the
stream. The length or the can
yon width is $50 feet at the base
and $50 feet across the crest, ex.
elusive Of spillways, which are
$50 feet each in width.
State Engineer w. G. Lefeb
vre recently announced that con
struction Of 19 miles of road
from Cutter Siding, five miles
east of Globe, on the Globe Rice
road, to the dam site, would be
advertised after bids for the con.
struction of the dam had been
received. Whether the recently
adopted retrenchment policy

plans could not be learned last

which was syndicsted to q large
number of newspapers through.
out the country.
In the articles, Brisbane gives
over his entire column to an en-.
thusiastic outline of the many
attractions and Inducements
which Arizona has to offer. The
writer tells Us of the wonderful
climate, the many scenic attrac-
tions and the great undeveloped
wealth of the state and advises
everyone to visit Arizona.
The following are pointed ex.
cerpts from the article which has
been read by hundreds of thous-
ands of persons throughout the
nation:
What do one hundred aud
fourteen million American peo.
pie know about Arizona, one Of
the most magnificent of the 48
states? Part of Arizona Is 100
