W1P1XGUUT AN ARIZONA TOWN
Its Name is Roosevelt, but that
Didn't Save It.
OLD-TIME PLAZA IS ROW DOOMED
It Ilea te Ge m kat ts Gstrraarat

Valley
KL 1'ASO. T., Nflv. 1 An ntlre town
In Arlaona wilt be wpt away by the gov.
eminent In It work of reclaiming1 arid
lands and. making homes for farmer. Th
town wii In the way and It had to (co. In
another three year, when the great Boose
velt dam Is completed to store the water
fur the Irrigation of the Bait liver valley
the only place In America where the date
l.alm growa as well as In Egypt the town
tf Roosevelt, or the present town sits, will
lie at the bottom of a lake at least sixty
feet n depth.
Roosevelt la a town many years old. It
had been the postfflc and the general
lounging and buying place for the cowboys
and cattlemen In the mountains thereabouts
for many years, but It la to go for the
sake of the farmer who tills the wonder
fully rich Valley below, where lomons,
oranges, olives, dates and almonds grow
aide by side, with alfalfa, water melons,
cantaloupes and grapes. It la on of the
richest valley In the great west. .
The alt selected for th dam to Impound
11 th flood waters In the Salt river Is
between two mountain of solid rock, and
the town of Roosevelt unfortunately Is
above the dam alto. Th valley around
Roosevelt la In cultivation and I full of
bearing orchard, fruitful garden and pro
durtlve little farms, but all of these, too,
will sink to the bottom of the lake for the
alt of th much bigger and greater valley
belotf. .
Government Work Expensive.
Th government hak already apent several '
hundred thousands of dollars, on the Work
of erecting the, dam, but it' has only Just
commenced. First the town site of Roose
' velt had to be bought out and then the
farms that would come under the water.
Then th government had to bring out
Immense traction' engine, for Roosevelt
and the dam alto are twenty-seven mile
from th nearest railroad station, the little
Mormon city of Mesa, and mule were not
capable of performing all the work neces
sary In th transportation line. Engineer
Louis C. Hill, who Is bossing the job,
figured that It would be cheaper for the
government to put up and operate it own
sawmill and cement plant, and the ma
chinery waa purchased and hauled to the
alt by th traction engines. The sawmills
were carried Into the mountains In pise
by the Indian and set up to get out th
Umber, and tho cement mill waa put up
at th dam, aa th rock on which the dam
I to be constructed makes a fin quality
of cement when properly treated, The
problem of operating the sawmill waa met
by building a small dam and a flume across
country) - All this done, the government
waa ready for work on the dam.
The government la only acting a finan
cial backer, architect and contractor for
the farmers whose land la to be benefited.
In the paat the farmers have Irrigated from
crude canala dug out through their farms
from the Salt liver, and at tlmea they had
plenty of water, sometimes an overflow
and too much, while at other they were
without water of any sort and were forced
to watch their orchard and garden wither
and die or pump water at a cost so ex
orbitant that they could never make any
money. The Indian Irrigated by the earn
method In the day when Oeronlmo wa
king of th whole section, and nobody but
a United States trooper and several of
htm wa safe In that section.
This wss not profits bis, and It was not
satisfactory, and th government through
th reclamation service came to the rescue.
Th reclamation service wa created for
Just such a task a this and has performed
It elsewhere, notable among tta works being
th great Trucks, Nev., project, completed
and In operation; the Carlsbad and Roswell
projects, in New Mexico, completed and
operating, and the great Engle dam above
El Paso, now under construction, which
will reclaim more than I2,000 acres of land
In the Rio Grande valley In Mexico, New
Mexico and Texas.
What Property Owners ray.
All the land suitable for reclamation
In the Salt River valley, which completely
surrounds Phoenix, the capital of Arlaona,
wa surveyed. The annual flow of the
river was measured. The figures arrived
at ahowed that the government could
build, the dam for a sum that would cost
each property owner SI a year for the next
twenty years, and the owners were asked
to "sign up." or, In plain words, mortgage
their property to Uncle Bam. They did
It gladly and Uncle Bam got to work. When
the dam Is completed the entire project
will be turned over to the officers of the
Fait River Valley Water Users' associa
tion and they will operate It for the owners
of the land, eacb of whom has a vote for
every acre of land he holds, none of whom,
however, can hold more than 160 votes or
acres. This Is to help the small farmer,
and the man who has big tract haa to
sell It off, but he will not lose any money,
since land that formerly sold for IS to $30
en acre will now sell for from tlOO up
ward. Because he Is doing all the work for the
peeple Uncle Sam haa to keep accurate ac
count of all the work he does. For ex
ample, he charges the price of the townslte
of Roosevelt and surrounding farms to the
water users and Mien collects rent from the
occupants of the buildings and buya hay
from the ranches, for which credit Is given
the land owner. Uncle Sam buy th ce
ment plant and the traction . engines and
the sawmill and he charge It to the people
of the valley who are to benefit by the
dam, and then In the course of events he
buys the product or labor of these and
credit It to the owners, the men who pos
sess the land. All of which helps to bring
the cost of the construction of the dam
down to the figure originally estimated,
maybe smaller, In which ewent the pro
rata of the charge against the acreage to
be Irrigated will be smaller.
When the great dam Is completed and the
water Is held In check and conserved for
use when needed, the farmers will have
water all the time, regardless of lessons.
The water will be taken down from the
dam, which la far up In the mountains, to
the farms below. In the old channel of the
liver and from this ohannel diverted by
means of smaller dams Into canal and dis
tributed over the entire valley.
The water will be let out of the great
lake by means of gate of bronse, Inserted
Into the solid rock mountain on either aide
of th river at the big dam. Extreme pres
sure against th big dsm In case of an
unusual rainfall Is prevented by the blast
ing of spillways through the mountain on
either end of the dam proper. The spill
ways will allow the water to run on down
the old bed of the river and escape Into th
Colorado river below before It rises to
the top of the dam. Therefore no water
will ever run over the dam.
HUBBY HIKED BACK TO PAPA
Iniqne Specimen of Domestlo Bliss
Shattered the , Morn In
After. "
Here Is the man who went home to
papa because wlfey wouldn't support him.
That Is,' here he Is, If the allegations of
Mr. Arthur B. Kohr of Chicago are true,
and ahe think so well of her ability to
prove them that she ha had Arthur ar
rested for abandonment and Is suing him
for divorce.
Arthur la a musical student, whose work
on the violin Is great, his teacher saya;
but he can't play a tuna with a bucksaw
that ' will , produce three - square meal a
day. hi wife says.
Eh wa Mrs. Mary Rogers, a pretty
widow, with a good position, when Arthur
wooed and won her with his art. They
were married after a short courtship, al
though Arthur's father bitterly opposed
the match. They went to housekeeping
in the cozy flat which formerly had been
all Mrs. Rogers' own.
Love's young dream had a ptcnlo In that
flat for just one week, the bride now
avert. But even as the sun rose on the
eighth day of wedded bliss Arthur made
the fatal mistake which has since led to
his return to his doting parent, his arrest,
and his bride's action for divorce.
"Mary, dear, It la time for you to get
up, or you will be late to work," Arthur
la said to have remarked on that fateful
morn.
"What do you mean, Arthur?" asked
Mrs. Arthur.
"Why, Mary, dear. It la nearly 7 o'clock,
and you know the office opens at S. Tou
must hurry or you will lose your Job."
"What on earth do you mean, Arthurt
I gave up my position before we were
married."
"Gave up your position! What on earth
do you meant Tou only took a vacation."
"Vacation nothing! I gave up my Job.
Quit It for good when I get married."
"Tfou did? Wert, I never knew that. How
are we ever going to get along for the next
two yeara while I finish my musical educa
tion T Have you enough lnoom to sup
port us without working?"
And then the battle was on. Chicago
Inter Ocean.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. -Dun weekly Re
view of Trade tomorrow will say:
Improvement Is reported In retail trade
and st-nttment Is more hopeful In some
commercial departments, but pending the
resumption of active demand manufac
turers restrict production, financial con
ditions are less disturbing: much relief
resulting from large Imports of gold, wlillo
a bettor feeling was caused by the an
noui.ctment of further government aid, al
though the proposed bonds and rertlflrat e
have not yet increased tlip actual supply
of money. Mercantile collections are Irreg
ular, some sections of the country report
unexpectedly prompt scUkments, while at
other points tiny are slow. The final re
turn for October indicated a favorable
trade balance fur the I'nited States of
Shi), 747.46 and still bettor results ar- prom
ised for November by preliminary reports
available for thre weeks. No further
difficulty Is anticipated in nn-etlng pay rolls
now that the micl-ninnt )i settlements have
been made without serious delay. Holldiy
trade lias openeiJ, wholesale, houses dis
tributing goods to dealers throughout the
count ry.
Llltlo alteration is noticed in quotations
of inn snd steel, reduction in pri.es being
averted by restriction t output. Any pres
sure to force sales would result in con
cessions, but producers maintain the statis
tical position by shutting down all capac
ity for which there Is no demand. NVh le
actual cancellations aru few, many ro
qumts for deferred deliveries are received
and all departments in the Industry await
more settled financial conditions. A fair
Inquiry is noted for plates, wire products
and pipe, the sentiment on the whole being
somewhat better than last week. Re
duction In blast furnace activity hus
checked the vigorous movement of ore
and It Is probable that lake shipments will
not exceed 41,000,0(0 tons for the season.
This will be a new record, but about
j.OuO.OoO tons below previous estimates.
(Julet continues In the primary market
for textiles and production has been mod
erately curtailed. Manufacturers of eolton
goods make no attempt to force sales
wailing for restoration of confidence and
sulticlont funds to warrant new undertak
ings. Producers readily grant delays In deliv
eries, but there is stubborn resistance to
cancellations of orders taken in good ialth,
for which provision has been made In many
case. by arrangement for delivery ot raw
material. Although the past week has
been the quietest for years as to new
orders for cotton goods, a better volume
Is promised by the numerous Inquiries
which indicate that Btocks have fallen low.
Much of the same disposition to defer de
cision is noted In woolen goods, although
In those fabrics the conservatism of buyers
lias produced greater depletion ol stocks
and the raw material also more stei.dy.
Clothiers' salesmen have returned from
first trips, the volume of spring business
comparing favorably with normal years,
but many manufacturers will reduce the
output until the danger of cancellation Is
past and currency Is more readily obtained
tor j my rolls.
Shoe shops are operating very cautiously,
forward deliveries being prepared with due
consideration for the possibility of counter
mi'idci oiders. Some plants are Idle be
cause of the difficulty experienced because
of the difficulty of obtaining cash for pay
rolls and invoices for leather, etc. Sola,
leather manufacturers maintain quotation
by consistent curtailment of production
and similar tactics and now pursued by
producers of upper leather, but thl
change. Is more recent and less effective.
The decline In harness and leather belting
butts amount now to fully 2 cents Der

JilXJmJi il SERIOUS
FAR-REACHING BLOOD DISORDER
Even ia its early stages Catarrh is almost intolerable, caused by the stuffy
feelingf in the nose, the buzzing noises in the ears, the continual "hawking
ttnd spittinj " difficult breathing etc. But when the blood becomes thor
oughly polluted from the catarrhal matter, the inflammation extends to the
bronchial tuhes, causing hoarseness, and often an aggravating; cough ; the
stomach is affected, resulting in dyspepsia, loss of appetite and strength, and
gradually all the mucous membranes of the body become diseased and the
system upset and deranged. Frequently the kidneys and bladder are attacked,
' and the constant passage of impure blood through the lungs, diseases these
important members, and Catarrh terminates in Consumption. Catarrh is a
deep-seated blood disease, and must be treated constitutionally, for it is beyond
the re-ich of local treatment. S. S. S. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of
a'.l the impure catarrhal matter and at the same time building up the entire
system. li goes down and attacks the disease
at its bead, in the circulation, and removes
every trace of the impurity that is causing the
trouble. Then as rich, pure blood circula.es
through the body, the inflamed membranes
commence to heal, the mucous discharges grow
less and finally cease, and all the disagreeable
ana aisgustiug symptoms ol catarrh, disappear.
6. S. S. has no equal as a cure for this disease. It rtfines and purifies the entire
fcirculation and repuirg the dam .tore done by Catarrh. Special book on CatarTh

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Aetnal Business Show an Increased
Degree of Quirt.
NEW YARK, Now. 22.-Bradstreets will
av tomorrow:
While a number of cities report that the
tone of affairs has taken a turn for the
better, actual business, taklna- the country
aa a whole, show an Increased degree of
quiet, both at wholesale and retail centers.
There Is evident in the wholesale trade cir
cles an Indisposition to do business fjr tu
tures periods and the numbers of cancella
tions resulting from the past unsettlements
are a subject of widespread comment. Re
tall trade feels the effect of the smaller
movement of cereal from the farms, snd
although producers are reported more fa
miliar with checks tendered in payment,
lower prices now offered are a drawback
to sales.
In industry the features are the working
out more fully of the slowing down ten
dency noted for several wweks paat. The
Iron and steel Industry, with Its kindred
lines such as coke and coal, showing quick
est results. The feeling Is widespread that
the sharper and quicker this process occurs
the sooner the situation wIl right Us'lf
when confidence is restored. The lumber
Industry is quiet and southern lumbering
and manufacturing are reported less active.
Collections are rather slower and s.ime
attention has been excltod by the request
from some states that all creditors be len
ient in order that the fall trade be pro
tected. The currency premium lessened at
New York early in the week, but later on
became more marked. The fact that the
demands are kept up strongly by the re-
fiorts that country banks are taking In
arge quantities of currency but not mak
ing new loans and some institutions are re
ported to be carrying much larger supplies
than are absolutely necessary.
