The following comprehensive re
view of the Salt river government ir
rigation project, the first and largest
of the government schemes, is from a
government report and gives Many in
teresting details:
First among the many irrigation
schemes planned by the government
reclamation service is the Salt river
project at Roosevelt, Ariz., where the
largest reservoir In the world is being
finished, says the report. This stor
age dam Is 276 feet high and will Im
pound. 1, '34,000 acre-feet of water,
creating a reservoir having an area of
16,3''0 acres or 25.6 square miles.
This structure will be completed In
1909 and wll regulate the supply of
water in the Salt river. Forty mile?
belo-.v the dam the water Is to be de
livered by means of a low dam Into
the mains of a By-stem of canals, one
on each Bide of the river, and water
ing about 160,000 acres of land In the
vicinity of Phoenix and Mesa.
When the Roosevelt dam Is com
pleted several thousand electric horse
power will be developed and utilized
to pump additional water from under
ground sources. A power canal 18.5
miles long, having a capacity of 220
cubic feet a second, has already been
constructed and Is now being used to
develop 4 400 electrical horse-power
which i utilize?) In the work of con
struction. The lands under this projpet situ
ated in the Salt river valley, surround
Phoenix, the capital of the territory.
This valley has a length east and west
of about 40 miles and a width varying
from 15 to 30 miles. The soil Is an
alluvial deposit of great fertility and
adapted to the cultivation of a wld"
variety of crops. Including those of
the temperate and subtropical zones.
A tunnel about nho fet long ha
been driven through the side walls of
the canyon at the dsm. Tr this tun
nel will be placed six gates to be used
for sluicing purpose- nn1 for regu
lating the floiv of water In the canals
in .alt river valley, about 50 miles
helor.
Then gates, with thel roperallng
mei hanlsrn. w ill weigh nearly 800.000
pounds and will he the largest ever
eotaalructed to operate under the great
pressure of 100 pounds per square
Inch. The pressure on each gate Is
about 800,000 pounds. With the res
ervoir full the gates are capable of
discharging 10.000 cubic feet per sec
ond. To carry the water from the power
canal to tho electrical power house an
incline penstock tunnel 620 feet long
has been driven. The available head
of 220 feet, when discharged through
turbine water wheels direct connected
to electric generators, will give sever
al thousand electrical horse-power
which will be transmitted 60 miles
away to drive the centrifugal pumps.
It Is estimated that each horse
power so developed will pump water
enough to Irrigate 10 acres of land.
The entire electrical apparatus for
Jhls work was furnished by the Gen
eral Electric company.
For those who cannot visit the
scenes of operation It Is difficult, In
deed, to gasp the magnitude of this
undertaking being carried on by the
government for the benefit of the peo
pie. There will be more than 600
miles of main canals for distributing
the water and at the lowest waterfall
on record the flood contained In tho
reservoir wll Ibe sufflclen' to water
the crops over an area of 312 square
miles for two and one-half years.
The work was started three years
ago and will cost about $8,000,000.
nil of which is advanced by the gov
ernment without Interest. This
amount wll be eventually repaid by
the farmers whose lands are bene
fited. The Income which will accrue
from the sale of electric power will
also be applied to the cost and when
the outlay has been repald.to the gov
ernment the farmers wll own the
plant and share the expenses pro rata.
This storage water will make the des
ert, formerly supporting only cacti
and other hardy plants, blossom as the
rose.

Report on Kgyptlau Cotton.
Boston, April 17. That Egyptian
cotton can be successfully grown In
the southwestern portion of the United
States is the statement of experts In
attendance at the convention of the
National Association of Cotton Manu
facturers, in session here today. For
many years attempts have been made
to introduce Egyptian cotton Into his
country, but the climate of the South
Atlantic and Oulf states was found
Unsuitable for Its culture. Recent
trials in New Mexico and Arizona have
been highly successful and It Is likely
that the Industry will become firmly
established In those territories.
The grandmothers of the old Dutch
Dunkard famlles of western Penn
sylvania have made and used "Hick
ory Dark Cough Remedy" and reared
their families on It for a hundred
years. Now you can buy It of your
dealers. Ask for It and use It, be
cause it Is pure; because it Is the best
cough remedy made today. Try It

'The District Loader."
There Is every Indication that the
new musical piece, "The District
Leader," which Is to be presented at
the Oregon on April 21, will be wel
comed by Pendleton theater goers.
The news of its success In the east
has evidently preceded It. "The Dis
trict Leader" is the brightest and most
entertaining musical comedy that has j
been seen nere in a long time, ana
one of the reasons for the great suc
cess of the piece was that Mr. Howard
gave it a plot that ha3 substance to It.
In fact, the story Is one that holds
the interest and attention of the audi
ence throughout. It tells of the fight
for a senatorshlp In New York, with
dependent love stories.
The comedy Is In three acts,- the
first scene showing the lobby of the
Hoffman house, the second a street In
the Chinese section of New York, and
last, a beautiful mansion on Riverside
drive.
Miss Ethel Dovey has the role of
Flossie Whittle, a New Jersey inno
cent, and she plays the part most ad
mirably. There is probably no better
exponent of child's parts on the stage
than Miss Dovey. Her song hits, "A
Heart to Let," "The Same Old Story,"
' Won't You Re My Olrlle," were ren
dered with charming effect. "What's
the Use of Dreaming" was one of the
best liked of the evening.
In fact, all the songs, which are
composed by the author-actor, were
bright and catchy, and a number of
the tunes were whistled by the gal
lery gods, an Infallible sign of a hit.
The supporting company In "The
District Leader" nre 12 principals and
a chorus of 38. A feature with any
musical comedy of the present day la
Its chorus, and "The District Leader"
It Is said will be found as attrac
tive a group of girls as have been got
ten together In some time. The piece
Is handsomely staged and "The Dis
trict Leader's" engagement here
promises to be as big a success as In
the other cities visited.
Death Wag On Ilia Heels.
Jesse P. Morris of Skippers. Va.,
had a close call In the spring of 1906.
He says: "An attack of pneumonia
left me so weak and with such a
fearful cough that my friends de
clared consumption had me, and
jleath was on my heels. Then I waa
persuaded to try Dr. King's New Dis
covery and after taking two and a
half bottles I was a well man again.
I found out that New Discovery If
the best remedy for coughs and lung
disease In all the world." Sold un
der guarantee at Tallman & Co.'a drug
store. 60c and $1.00. Trial bottle
