Oliver M. Wozencraft, who made
the first serious effort to bring
about reclamation of the great
Salton Basin. DR.. Wosencraft was
at the time stationed in San Fran
cisco as Indian agent in charge
OF all Indian tribes of California
While on a tour of inspection of
all the tribes under his charge he
first visited the great Colorado
Desert. With a vision of present
day development, he thereafter de-
voted his energies to fulfillment of
his dream, interesting eastern cap

operated to reduce government costs.
The Ohio Legislature adopted q sales

resulting from the limitation on prop
