Mitchell. The orchards and vineyards of the great Southwest have been portrayed as the place where lands reach their highest cultural development and most astounding value. As against the eastern farm, worth one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars an acre, choice orange land in Southern California is valued at one thousand dollars and even fifteen hundred dollars an acre. And this does not seem so highly unreasonable when it is remembered that oranges, figs almonds, Malaga grapes, pomegranates and other tropical products cannot grown anywhere. Yet there are orchards in the great Northwest which are esteemed as highly and yield as golden a stream from peaches, apricots, berries and other common fruits as has ever been claimed for the orange. Take the Yakima valley, or the Wenatches valley, or a dozen other mountain valleys in Washington, or some of the finely developed fruit regions of Montana or Colorado. There you can find men growing wealthy on returns from ten and even five-acre orchards. Perhaps the valley of the Wenatches in central Washington affords one of the best examples of the fruit possibilities of the north-west—situated in the midst of that Keg and to all NG CO. Uor Co.

Anaheim Merchants valley, or a dozen other mountain valleys in Washington, or some of the finely developed fruit regions of Montana or Colorado. There you can find men growing wealthy on returns from ten and even five-acre orchards. Perhaps the valley of the Wenatches in central Washington affords one of the best examples of the fruit possibilities of the northwest—situated in the midst of that region which Daniel Webster described as "fit only for the abode of wild beasts and wilder men." The wonderful development of this valley has been brought about entirely by private irrigation development, yet the government irrigation engineers consider it an almost ideal irrigation community. In the first place there is a splendid water supply. To the west are the gleaming snow-fields of the Cascade mountains whose glacial streams feed the swift-running Wenatches river, which as it emerges from the valley becomes a tributary of the great Columbia. The valley is sheltered from the bleak winds by surrounding hills, so that fruit trees have never been known to be damaged by cold. There are no great farms on the Wenatches. The entire valley is not so large as some of the vast bonanza farms of the west, but every acre is made to produce its utmost, and land values reach $1000, $1200 and $1500 per acre, not based on the value of houses and improvements, but upon the productive capacity of the soil. Apples, peaches, apricots, berries, canteloupes, prunes and pears and all the large and small fruits yield a profit of from $200 to $500 an acre. Why then should not land, five acres of which will net one thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars, be worth five thousand or seven thousand five hundred dollars? The interest is liberal, is it not? There seems to be something very superior in the fruit raised in the Northwest.

The interest is liberal, is it not? There seems to be something very superior in the fruit raised in the Northwest. It finds a ready market in such far points as Boston, and brings a price which more than warrants the heavy express charges. Washington apples have brought $4 a box, of less than a bushel, at the Hub. Nor or the citizens of Wenatchee, or many other prosperous fruit sections of the Northwest tied down to a wilderness life in order to secure themselves large incomes. Wenatchee, for instance, is the initial point of navigation on the Columbia. Here the Great Northern railroad meets the steamboats—where rail and river meet. It is but a few hours to Tacoma and Seattle, while the local advantages are in themselves very great. The orchards and farms are so small that the entire valley resembles a great suburb. It is but calling distance from one house to another. Each has a telephone, running water, the rural free delivery, and electric lights are being installed. The roads are like streets, and schools and churches are at close intervals.

We have considered the settlement of the Wenatchee valley so ideal that it has been taken as an example after which to pattern the Okanogan project, in Washington, now under consideration by the reclamation service." Objects of Reforestation EDITOR GAZETTE.—I wish to explain further in detail the objects of the TriCounty Reforesting Association. There are to be twelve directors from the three counties, namely, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange, and a committee of four from each county on special committees. The meeting place will be at Riverside. The meetings will be quarterly, commencing with the first Monday in January, 1907. These steps are to be taken through the chambers of commerce in each county. The south side of the river is to have six of the directors and two of the committee and the north side the same number, which assures equal rep- and viaduct to carry water being eight thousand addices. menting upon the fact that normal government is not anligitimate private irrigation, but that, on the and the reclamation service due to it and even willing to engineer Arthur P.

The meetings will be quarterly, commencing with the first Monday in January, 1907. These steps are to be taken through the chambers of commerce in each county. The south side of the river is to have six of the directors and two of the committee and the north side the same number, which assures equal representation. Its objects are to first interest the people of each county in the importance of reforesting the San Bernardino mountains and preventing the denuding of the present forest. This is one of the most important things to do, as the water used by the three counties has its source in these mountains and every resident is interested, whether he be a landowner, merchant or what not. We are all dependent upon the water supply directly or indirectly and without it we all would be ruined. This move is one of the greatest importance to the people of these counties that has been undertaken for years. The second step will be to interest the government through our representatives who have signified their willingness to do all in their power for us. And if we all join heartily in the support of this movement we will be greatly benefited and our source of water supply will be protected in a large measure for all time. As progress goes on the people will be kept posted through the papers. The names of the six directors and two committeemen have been indorsed by the chambers of commerce of Anaheim and Fullerton. The directors are Wm. McLauchlin, J. B. Neff, B. F. Porter, E. K. Benchley, C. C. Chapman, A. S. Bradford, J. B. Rea, A. Pierotti. A. S. BRADFORD.
