BIG BOOST STORY
(Concluded from Page One)
ernor Hiram W. Johnson, congratulat
ed the citizens of the Yuma Valley on
the completion of the wonderful eng
gineering undertaking which conveys
the water of the river, under itself,
from the California side to revivfy
150,000 acres of thirsty land below on
the Arizona side. This valley will
shortly be as bountiful as the Salt
River Valley, itself.
"Autos conveyed the visitors to the
scene of the ceremonies, where school
children, half filling a tastefully dec
orated stand, greeted them; patriotic
airs were played by the band and sung
by the children, while many flags
were flung to the breeze. All this
gave an impressive setting to the his
torical gathering.
"The presiding officer of the cere
monies, C. A. Lindemann, former rec
lamation officer and now a practicinr
attorney, delivered the address of wel
come. Earl Burt Smith, president of
the Yuma Water Users' Association
followed the eloquent invocation of
Bishop J. W. Atwood.
"President Smith said that for Yu
ma all dates would be numbered from
the year one of the siphon existing
38 a monument of the men chiefly
instrumental in having it built The
men who, had put the concrete irri
gation proposition to the abstract rec
lamation law, giving Yuma wonderfu'
promise of a full future, welcomed
Governor Wallace to the land soon tc
be as famous as California and Gov
ernor Hunt to what is shortly to bi
the second city of the state.
"Governor Wallace stated that the
future Is brilliant for western pros
perity and growth. The Panama
canal will divert, in time, immigra
tion to the Southwest, with consequent
increased wealth.
"The exercises closed with Editor
Westover of the Yuma Sun presenting
a handsome 122-piece silver chest to
Engineer Francis L. Sellew, who con
structed the siphon.
"This afternoon the parade, a mile
long, was reviewed by Governor Hunt
The parade was a magnificent dis
play of civic pride, the United States
army, the National Guard, Indian
School Cadets, fraternal niformed so
cletles and nearly fifty floats.
"Governor Hunt, congratulating the
people of Arizona and California gen
erally and Yuma in particular, said:
"'Ladies and Gentlemen: My first
thought in viewing this great work is
that it will start many a cheerfu1
iblaze upon the hearthstones of home
ldvlng and industrious people in this
valley. The wonderful siphon is a
Ihome-builder and the building of
"homes Is' the noblest work that can
tbe performed by the greatest engineer
ing skill, in the country. Every good
anan has a worthy object in life and
Jthat object always is inspired and
rstrengtheped by hopes that center in
the home, no matter how humble. .As
he poet tells up:
To make a happy fireside clime
For we-uns and wife
That Is the true pathos and sublime
Of human life.
"The simple philosophy of the home
Teaches out and commands the powe
of the state and nation that thefamily
(Circle may be fostered and strength
ened as a unit in the social and econ
omic structure. Upon the calm and
Chappy American home, especially the
Sana home, rises every institution that
.serves the true national purpose and
flipon this foundation alone must rest
.all of our hopes. In the service which
tthls siphon is about to give, see not
snerely a reason for gratitude to the
Rational government, but evidence
(that a plain duty has been recognized
And performed. Millions have been
jspoat in controlling the river forces,
-which mocks the efforts of the indi
Tidaal or the community, and all to
the end that 150,000 acres shall be
"brought under the plow and contrib
ute to the welfare and comfort of the
home. What does the nation receive ;
in return? A thousand more farms
to stand as additional bulwark to in
dependence and progress an added
citizenship whose industry and pros
perity mean more to the nation than
the "far-flung battle line" of defense.
When we launch a great and expen
sive warship we cannot predict what
may happen for weal or woe in the
part it will play. But in dedicating
this land to industry the future
spreads before us in a vista of prom
ise which holds all that Is really potent
to maintain the purpose of the
founders of the republic. The subject,
;as It is preperly understood, is very
islmple. Every time organized govern
:ment sendB out a message of hope,
;Buch as this, to the toiler, the 1 ome
Sis strengthened and independence :s
given a better foothold. This is the
ibasic Idea, and if it shall not be lost
tsight of, or obBcured in the too pro
found argument of the economist, who
sees only what he calls paternalism,
pie future will witness many another
partnership between the power of the
istate and the brawn of the community.
It marks a new era of thuoght upon
the subject of social and economic
progress. . If there exists an opportuni
ty for home-building where obstacles
are too great for individuals, the re
sources of the state or nation should
be placed at their service until the
difficultiesare overcome, and the com
munity placed where industry will in
sure prosperity and independence.
That is what has been done here in
harnessing the Colorado river. The
nation has performed its part, and the
celebration today marks not only the
completion of a groat task but the be
ginning of a community life which
will add to the prosperity of the whole
and bring comfort to thousands oi
good people. Who would doubt for a
moment that those people in their new
homes, so happily situated in this fer
tile valley are going to prove a state
and national asset worth many times
the cost of the reclamation work? Ari
zona has given strong approval to the
principle of partnership between state
and the home by adopting the amend
ment to the constitution which permit?
he state to engage in industrial pur
suits. The logic back of this state
enterprise is no different from that
which has justified the national gov
ernment from doing the work we see
jefore us. While no definite plan'
have been made for the state to engage
n industrial pursuits the power to dc
so exists to meet any opportunity oi
need of the future. And the. primary
object of any such enterprise by the
?tate will be to strengthen the home
to reward honest labor and add to the
comfort of the family circle. When tht
government state or national does
.his much, it builds a foundation foi
its own existence that defies both ad
ersity and .corruption. In that lighl
ve hail this great engineering feat and
congratulate the country upon the cit
zenship that will soon make the Yumr
Vallev blossom as the rose.' "
LOS ANGELES TRIBUNE TELLE
YUMA'S STORY
There is a true jubilee planned a.
Yuma for today, tomorrow and alsr
Wednesday of this week, that will be
nore than a celebration for the gov
rnment's three-year task on the Yu
na siphon is completed and this weel
vater for 130,000 acres of as fine lane
is there is in the Southwest will be
urned through, this great engineering
monument. The festival the city o
fuma has planned is for all the peo
ole of the Southwest, and from al
points of the compass they are now
)ouring into the historic city by the
Colorado to join with the Yuma citi
:ens and land owners to make the big
avent a notable one.
The construction of the siphon was
lecessitated because the land it h
oroposed to irrigate, south and wes
of Yuma, is south of the Gila river anc
east of the Colorado, and the wateJ
is taken from the Colorado at a point
fifteen miles above Yuma. It wai
necessary, therefore, to cross either the
Gila from the east intake of the canal
systems, or to cross the Colorado from
the west intake, which is on Califor
nia soil. The engineers decided on
the latter course, because the maii:
oanal, leading to the siphon would
serve a large acreage in the Yuma In
dian reservation, opened two years
igo, on the California side, before
reaching the siphon.
The latter is nothing but a large
U-shape tunnel running under the riv
er. The mouth of the tunnel, on the
north, or California side, is higher than
that on the south, or Arizona side, and
lie water drops down fifty feet below
the bottom of the river, crosses undei
and is forced up on the Arizona side
by gravity.
Project Engineer Francis E. Sel
lew and his assistants encountered
many difficulties in driving the tun
nel under the river, as water was tap
ped early in the work and, as in some
places, even bedrock, in which they
were working the miners found pock
ets of quicksand and loose rock.
But, although the work was delayed
more than a year, and although it cost
more than had been estimated, it is
now finished and the cement bore is
ready for service.
The entire length of the siphon is
over 900 feet and is forty feet below
the river bed. The siphon is fourteen
feet, inside diameter, and the vnirs of
concrete are two feet in thickness.
This work is a marvel of engineering
skill and too much credit cannot be
given to those directly responsible for
its successful completion.
After passing through the siphon
the water is conducted through the
-nain canal,. which is eighty feet across
the botom, 120 feet across the top and
ten feet jn depth, along the upper por
tion of the valley for a short distance,
when it is separated into two channels.
That on the west side of the valley will
be located along the high ground near
the river, and the one on the east
side will follow along the elevated
areas near the mesa. Both these can
als reach southward to the Mexican
boundary and command all the irri
gable bottom lands in this portion of
the project. The east branch is of
sufficient capacity to cary water for
future mesa extension. Provisions
have been made for a pumping station
to supply the 40,000 acres of mesa land.
The mesa, one of the largest frostless
feet higher than the surrounding val
ley, and in order to raise the water
thatMieight, the pumping station, the
next feature of the Yuma project, is to
be installed. Power plants are to be
built at the Laguna dam, as well as at
an artificial drop, already completed,
located between the dam and the big
siphon. It is expected sufficient power
will be generated to light the entire
valley aside from supplying the eng
orgy for the mesa pumping plant.
What this unlimited supply of water
will mean to Yuma valley is not a
supposition, nor is it an experiment.
That part of" Yuma valley which has
been cultivated has demonstrated be
yond doubt, the agricultural, horticul
tural and viticultural possibilities,
equalling, if not exceeding, those of
any other section of the United States.
The climate, seemingly made express
ly for growing things growing them
quickly, continuously and in marvel
ous abundance and quality; the soi
endowed with all the essentials of ef
fective fertilization, are ample assur
ance of the unusual opportunities Yu
na valley offers to the homeseeker.
Visitors who go to Yuma for the
celebration this week will be given
the opportunity to see the Laguna
Dam, which checks the river so that
water may be taken out for irrigation
'Drojectes on both sides, the town of
Yuma and the surrounding countrj
which will now be quickly transformed
;nto ranches, producing a great yielc
innually and bringing, indirectly, ar
mormous income to Los Angeles
vhich is the point of supply for Yu
na, and to which Yuma's fertile acrer
ire unquestionably tributary. Los
Angeles Tribune, November 18.
A BOOST FROM THE LOS ANGELES
TIM EG
Yuma awoke early this morning with
i bang, for the siphon celebration. Ev
ary engine that could whistle and
hose that could only shriek startec
Dlowing at dawn and kept at it unti
;he day blew up. Yuma was glad and
lid not care who knew it. After
shrieking sirens, clanging bells and
throbbing drums had frazzled the ele
nents beyond recognition, shotgum
md loaded anvils fired a long salute
jf howling joy. As a result the dim
lorizon was rolled back another thou
sand leagues against the portals of tht
tars, to give Yuma room in which tc
elebrate and grow. They are to have
"our days of this, providing anybody
urvives. All the carnival amusements

long like the tents of an Arab army
Traffic may be blocked and be blowed
3ity Marshal Levy has run away witl.
he lid, and Sheriff Greenleaf Avon't
)ring him back as long as the picnu
asts.
Plenty of water flows through c
ich and grateful valley, but the healtl
)l a siphon is not to be drunk in wa
;er and nobody is breaking the rule.
V siphon, however, with perfect propri
ety, may be drowned in eloquence, and
Governor George W. P. Hunt of Ari
zona and Lieutenant Governor Wallace
of California certainly turned the men
tal spigot and let the language cloud
burst through. For all the spirit of car.
.rival and boundless good cheer per
neating the atmosphere, dignity, so
lemnity and depth on depth of feeling
.narked the beautiful ceremony. The
cheering thousands greeted the band
as it entered the picturesque Reclama
tion Service grounds playing "The Star
Spangled Banner," and immediately
preceding the auto occupied by Gov.
ernor Hunt, Lieutenant Governor Wal
lace, Dr. J. A. Ketcherside, Dr. H. V.
Clymer, and others of the local commit
tee. Attorney C. E. Lindemann presided
.vith every grace of the chair and in
troduced Earl B. Smith to welcome
.he thousands of visitors, in behalf of
.he valley, following a grateful and
uplifting invocation by the Right Rev.
J. W. Atwood, bishop of the Episcopal
diocese of Arizona, who accompanied
Gov. Hunt, Secretary Mulford Win
son and other state dignitaries from
Phoenix. In behalf of California the
greeting extended by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wallace was gracious and pro
phetic. He foreshadowed that day
when Yuma will have a direct railroad
and a dredged river or a deep canal
to the Gulf of California and urged the
farmers to keep their land because it
is wealth.
The" influx of Slavs and of Italians
certain to arrive when the tide of
immigration set in by way of the Pan
ama Canal, he described as something
to be welcomed since the ideal of each
of them is to own and cultivate a few
good acres. Governor Hunt said that
the government, through this project,
has entered into close partnership with
the people subscribing the power of
the state to the brawn of the communi
ty and in return has added a thousand
rich farms to the bulwark of its struc
ture and protection.
In behalf of the members of the
Yuma Commercial Club and the peo
ple of Bard and of the Yuma and Gila
valleys, J. H. Westover, editor of the
Morning Sun, with the eloquence of
the old Kentucky school of oratory,
presented Francis L. Sellew, chief eng
gineer of the project since its incep
tion, with an elaborate silver service
in a rosewood chest.
Sellew's seven-year fight with the
Colorado river has required the genius
of large design, combined with pe
culiar independence and courage of ac
tion. He has had to believe where
all men doubted and to fight the oppo
sition of men and elements. The
siphon was his original plan for the
transfer of the water from the Cali
fornia to the Arizona side of the river,
and it is conceded by the engineering
world to be a monument to the man's
ability.
It was fitting that beside him on the
platform sat F. M. Lawson, now in
charge of the reclamation forces of
Los Angeles as advising engineer, but
formerly assistant engineer on the big
Yuma project
A chorus of 150 schoolgirls, under
10 years of age and dressed in white,
sang an anthem to California and an
other to Arizona. They were under
the direction of Miss Leotta Thomp
son.
In the afternoon, a parade of civic
societies,, commercial and industrial
floats, state militia and United States
infantry, stretched its glittering length
for half a mile, through happy, crowd-
d streets.
The Yuma siphon is a 965-foot tun
nel, under the Colorado river, which
carries 1400 second-feet of water from
California to Arizona. The intake of
the siphon is an eighty-foot shaft and
its mouth has a depth of 100 feet.
is fed by a fourteen-mile canal which
delivers 1700 second-feet of water, the
waste water being diverted back to
hhp river directlv below Yuma. This
canal is eighty feet wide and seven
feet deep. Laguna Dam is 4200 feet
;n width, and is fourteen miles north
jf the city. It has a headgate at Pot
holes on the California side, which
nvprtc i?nn fp.pt of water into the
canal, and a headgate on the Arizona
side at Laguna, diverting the water
into a canal carrying only 200 second
feet, which is an abundance to sup
ply the Gila Valley. Los Angeles
Times, November 19.
A YUMA MYSTERY, SAYS EL CEN
TRO PROGRESS
The spice of mystery has been cast
:nto the program of the grand siphon
celebration Yuma citizens are ar
ranging for November 18, 19, 20. Just
what will occur during the dedication
of the 1000-foot tunnel under the Col
orado river, which is to water 130,000
thirsty acres of good land, no one from
Yuma will tell.
It is whispered that some daring
Hassayampan will be tightly encased
:n a cartridge boat and-shot through
the big pipe after the fashion of ?
nen in a barrel going over Niagara
Tails; but this is a mere rumor.
There will be a military and civic
oarade with Indians trailing their Ion
'odge poles, as off for an old-time buf
falo hunt. The great Laguna dam, 14
miles from Yuma, where the water is
diverted to a canal and thence through
the siphon, will be the scene of fron
tier merry-making. The Elks' home
will be dedicated. Visitors will be
whirled through Yuma Valley in autos
md coaches.
Prizes aggregating $1,000 for win
ners of athletic events have brought
corward athietes from all quarters, in
cluding Indian runners and broncho
busters known all over the West. Yu-
na is preparing to turn loose in the
old-time fashion El Centro Progress.
PRESIDENT RANDOLPH
HERE IN PRIVATE CAR
President Epes Randolph, of the Ari
zona Eastern lines and the Southern
Pacific lines in Mexico, with head
quarters in Tucson, arrived in Yuma
last night 'for the celebration. He
came in his private car, the "Pocahon
tas," which is parked in the railroad
yards.
TIN BABIES WIN
Bsonp PRIZE
At the baby show, at the baseball
park yesterday afternoon, the Orrella
twins, the beautiful little girls who live
on Madison avenue, were awarded the
