TEN MILLION DOLLAR [RRIGATION PROJECT Elephant Butte Dam I8 to Be Dedicated When President Visits New Mexico. LARGEST IN THE WORLD Las Cruces, N. M., Sept. 25.—The crowning event of virtually . twelve years’ construction of what is regard- ed as one of the greatest irrigation projects in the world will take place when President Wilson comes to New Mexico to dedicate the great Ele- phant Butte dam, on the Rio Grande, north of Rincon, October 14. The dedication is to be coincident with the holding of the international irri- gation congress, October 14 to 19, the international farm congress and the international soil products exposition, iall at El Paso, Tex. The Elephant Butte dam is the largest and most important of the irrigation projects that the United | States has undertaken in efforts to i reclaim the desert lands of several | western states and make them pro- ductive, The work was begun in 1904 when the first borings for the foundations of the monster dam were made. Actual construction was com- menced in July, 1910, so that the dedi- cation by President Wilson will be the final formal event of six years’ work on the project. As to the Cost. Actual completion of the construc- tion occurred May 12, last.. The dam is the largest piece of masonry for the storage of water in the world. It contains 608,000 cubic yards of re- enforced concrete, It is of the r:vi- eet discharge is controlled by ten-foot diameter cylinder gates, All Solid Masonry, The dam is a solid wall of masonry and concrete with a width of 215 feet | at the base, tapering to a thickness of sbout twenty feet at the top. It 1is built to withstand anything but the most severe earthquake shock and is said to be practically ‘indestructible. Some time ago reports were current that Mexicans from across the line planned to dynamite the dam, and a company of troops was sent from Columbus for guard duty. Reclama- tion service officials held that this precaution was unnecessary, pomnting out that nothing short of a trainload of dynamite, the placing of which would require more than a year of drilling, would be sufficient to mate- ria‘IAl,' njure the dam. aters from the dam, which is lo- cated in Sierra county, will irrigate 320000 acres of land in the Rio Grande valley, in New Mexico, Texas and Mexico, state of Chihuahua, ex- tending 130 miles below the dam. Water for Mexico. By a treaty with Mexico the United States agrees to deliver to Mexico 20,000 feet of water annually without cost. In return, Mexico waives all vights to the waters of the Rio Grande from the New Mexico-Chi- huahua line to Fort Quitman, Tex, lp&;oximuely seventy-five miles, hen arrangements for the dam were first made, farmers owning land to be irrigated came to an agreement to rly the government $40 per acre on land on which the water was used, and it was estimated that this would reimburse the government for the en- tire cost of the pro{egt. But the cost greatly exceeded the original ' esti- mate, and it was fipally determined that the cost to the farmers would be $65 an acre.

DANCE TO THE SUN GOD (Correspondgnce of The Associated Press.) Taos, N. M., Sept. 29.—The dance to the sun god by the Pueblo In- dians, residents of the ancient com- munal cliff dwellings here, begins to- morrow with the rising sun, in cele- bration of the annual harvest festival, or feast of San Geronimo. It will be the occasion of a meeting of an intensely modern civilization, in the persons of the many spectators from near and far, and one so ancient that its beginning has been lost in the ob- scurity of time.

From the deepest excava- tion the top is 306 feet high. On the top there is an eighteen-foot roadway. The cost of the structure alone was $5000000 with an addi- tional $5,000,000 for the many canals and other work necessary for the distribution of the stored water. All of this work is not yet completed. The total capacity of the dam is 2,642,292 acre feet of water, or suffi- cient to cover this number of acres to the depth of one foot. .Putting it in another way, the reservoir be- hind the dam when full, will contain 862,200,000 gallons, which, if spread out one foot deep, would cover 4,285 square miles, an area over twice that of the state of Delaware.
