%HE Bureau of Reclamation of the
DEPARTMENT of the Interior has
prepared an interesting and i'm
pressive pictorial showing OF its
work for our Government eX-
hibit at the exposition to be held In
Seville, Spain, next year. This exhibit,
which has been prepared and planned
by John H. Pellen of the Bureau OF
Reclamation, comprises large mural
painting representing a typical recla-
nation project an equally large model
of q 4S-acre irrigated farm, II trans
narencies. colored, showing different
rrojects-dams, picturesque waterways,
fields under cultivation and the desert
before and after reclamation; also eight
enlarged bromide prints colored by
hand, showing different crops, the
harvesting of crops and other irrigation
projects-the story of a great work told,
and well told in pictures.
The mural painting, which is at least
10 or II feet long, represents typical
irrigation project in an arid part OF our
great Southwest, and depicts the con-
Seryation of water in the mountains Tor
irrigation and electric power by the use
of storage dams, diversion dam and
distributing system of canals and later
ais, a scene designed somewhat after
the Salt River irrigation project In the
State of Arizona. In the foreground is
the desert, with sagebuSh and strange
cactus groWths, then comes wide area
which is like a green carpet unrolled on
the deserts sandy floor at the base OF
the foothills, then the mountains
towering high with glimpse, in mid
way gap, of cascades of water-three
Wreat falls like steps over three g1eantlc
dams. Above the mountains is the blue
sky broken and made more beautiful by
floating clouds tinted by the late after
noon sun. 1t is an extremely realistic
scene, and yet one in which the painter.

more than a little poetic suggestion,
