The Roosevelt Road, leading from Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe, Arizona, to the Roosevelt Dam (Salt River Pro- 

 ject). This road is 62 miles in length, over 40 of which extend through the Canyon of the Salt River. The 

 rod was built by the U.S. Reclamation Service and the three towns mentioned contributed $75,000 of its 

 cost. A remarkable feature of its construction was the fact that the day labor was performed by Apache 

 Indians, remnants of the mighty Geronimo's former band; a tremendous step in civilization this marks in 

 turning these Indians from terrorizing the country to actually assisting in its development.
