If it is work for the United States to national forests and for the plant trees and encourage tree ing of trees, it is preposterous leave the system of taxation condition that trees which ready growing must be cut. The Chicago Journal, in editorial quoted in Forestry magazine recently urged that able forest land everywhere be taken in hand by the States government. While tutional reasons may perhent the widest application of policy, there is nothing to state governments from estate state forests, or from changing tax laws. In the present critical concern the country bounties for the ing of forests might not be place. These of course show such terms that the young p will be properly cared for u are well grown.

All property-owners are requested to clean up their premises, so that the town may be in presentable shape for the visiting grand army veterans on the 9th. Take Off the Taxes The menace to that great amount of forest land which belongs to private owners from unjustly high taxation is recognized. This menace is GREAT IRRIGATION PROJECT Two Hundred Thousand Acres to Be Watered in Salt River Valley by Roosevelt Reservoir—A $6,000,000 Project Which Means Much to Arizona The Roosevelt reservoir, which will furnish water for irrigating 200,-000 acres of fertile land in the Salt river valley in Arizona, and which has been already described in these columns, means much to the future development of the territory. The reservoir will cost $6,000,000, and is one of the largest enterprises of its kind in the world. Money for its construction has been advanced by the United States government, and will be repaid, without interest charges, by owners of lands in the Salt river valley which will be shortly placed under this great irrigating system. This land is worth at present probably $10 per acre for grazing purposes; but what its value will be when irrigated is a question yet to be determined. Irrigated land near Phoenix has recently changed hands at a valuation of $325 per acre. That this vast acreage will be worth from $100 to $200 per acre under irrigation is an altogether reasonable hypothesis. When it is considered that as high as $2000 per acre has been asked for improved orange land in Southern California, it is within the probabilities that vast stretch of Salt river realty It is worth conveniencing kitchen wainscoting at the instant and out of the moment you such a stove is Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook By using it you continuous overpain heat of a coal fire with comfort, even days.

When it is considered that as high as $2000 per acre has been asked for improved orange land in Southern California, it is within the probabilities that that vast stretch of Salt river realty will so enhance in value as to make the government's investment entirely secure. About Phoenix there are many fields of fine alfalfa which prove the richness of the soil. Oranges are grown, and a considerable area is devoted to deciduous fruits and berries. The exhibit made at the Phoenix board of trade rooms is far in advance of many exhibits made by chambers of commerce in Southern California. The Indian school is an object of great interest to Phoenix visitors. Here 700 Indian youths are being educated. Boys and girls are taught trades in order that they may become useful citizens. The grounds are beautifully laid out, and the buildings are substantial and well constructed. It requires 550 pounds of beef to feed these youthful Indians each day, as well as 240 pounds of potatoes. The kitchen and dining room are cleanly kept, and the food furnished is of excellent quality. From the report of the commissioner of Indian affairs we learn that the employment bureau, which was established in 1905 to assist Indians to procure work outside their reservations, has met with continued success. Employment has been obtained for Indians on ranches, farms and railroads and at any other occupation for which they were qualified. Such steady employment as wage earners and contact with the world outside of a reservation not only bring to Indians money returns for their labor, but also develop self-reliance and a capacity for looking The new cars are to be well be sharp at one end and not the other, and will be so afford the best protecpassengers in case of accich car will provide for the station of about sixty pasand it is intended that a freight may be attached.

Employment has been obtained for Indians on branches, farms and railroads and at any other occupation for which they were qualified. Such steady employment as wage-earners and contact with the world outside of a reservation not only bring to Indians money returns for their labor, but also develop self-reliance and a capacity for looking after their own individual and family interests. It is the policy to exercise no direct supervision over Indians who can manage their own affairs and find employment for themselves, even if sometimes less favorable results are obtained, for the best thing for them is to pick up experience as independent workers and thus acquire the faculty of initiative. While every encouragement has been given to those who were willing to go out as individuals on their own responsibility, employment has been procured also for Indians in gangs or groups, mainly on irrigation projects and railroad construction, and the demand for Indian laborers has far exceeded the supply. In the beet fields last year a number of Indians were employed during the thinning season and the fall harvesting. This season an increased number were employed, 493 being schoolboys and 111 coming from the reservations. The sheep industry of the south-west has afforded employment to many Indians. They are considered desirable hands and the wages have doubled in the last two yeas now about $30 per month. On the Roosevelt dam Phoenix Indians have steadily employed in road der an Indian foreman, and have been engaged as and on the cement work. On the St. Mary's cannery Blackfeet reservation from 225 Indians worked with them for several months. They earned $1.25 and $2 a day as men and $3.50 and $5 a day for team. Put This Stove in Your Kitchen It is wonderfully convenient to do kitchen work on a stove that's ready at the instant wanted, and out of the way the moment you're done. Such a stove is the New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove. By using it you avoid the continuous overpowering heat of a coal fire and cook with comfort, even in dog-days. The NEW PERFECTION Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove is so constructed that it cannot add perceptibly to the heat of a room; the flame being directed up a retaining chimney to the stove top where it is needed for cooking. You can see that a stove sending out heat in but one direction would be preferable on a hot day to a stove radiating heat in all directions. The "New Perfection" keeps a kitchen uniformly comfortable. Three sizes, fully warranted. If not with your dealer, write our nearest agency.
