At recent meeting in Montreal, Miss Francis E. Willard said; "I was reading in the paper about young man who could go mile on his bi- cycle in ono minute and fifty-six sec onds, and 1 read an interview with him. The newspaper man said to him, What suggestion have you for young men for training? The answer was, "Tell them never to touch tobacco, never to touch intoxicating liquors, to take eight hours sleep in every twenty-four hours, to live simply If I had given the same answer to this question they would have said. Much she knows about it. l am glad the young bicyclist answered as he did; the splendid advance in athletics is due to total abstinence on the part of many, and this well-known fact has won more victories for us than all the teetotallers ever assembled on plat form.

The San simon Valley.

The great San Simon valley, extend ing from Solomonville to San Bernar- dino, on the Mexican line, distance or 40 miles, with an average width of twenty miles, offers one of the finest bodies Of arabic land in the world. In the mountains on each side are num- erous reservoir sites which will one day be utilized, irrigating great part of this great plain. Artesian water can also be developed, or all indica- tions are deceptive, and the supply from that source will supplement the storage supply, to the irrigation and cultivation of the entire valley. The climate is delightful--altitude 3750 feet-and all the known products of the temperate zone can be raised in wonderful Drofusion. All this will one day-not far in the future-be devel- oped into a highly productive and thickly settled region, and will mako an empire of itself.

Fine Fruit.

At Bowie station on the Southern Pacific, CaptainJ. H. Tevis has a fine garden and orchard which show what can be done in Arizona with water. He has some 750 almond trees, some two years old, and more planted last spring, all showing remarkably viz orous growth. He has older almond trees, from three to seven years old, that are in full bearing and now yield ing a fine crop of the delicious nut. Captain Tevis says that in this cli- mate the crop of the almond is Tar greater than in California, and the nuts larger and richer. His peach trees are loaded dowE with luscious fruit fast ripening, and the branches are all strongly propped to save break age. His late plum trees are also heavily laden. The early plulns, nec- tarines and apricots were likewise heavily loaded with fruit, but were long since relieved of their loads. The
 
 early grapes are also gone, but the late vines show finely He has two varie- ties of pear trees which are also load ed down with ripening fruit of fine quality.
 As matter of curiosity, 'Just to show the children how cotton grows v Captain Teyis sent for some cotton seed and planted it. He has about a dozen healthy vigorous cotton plants, on which large bolls have filled and are beginning to ripen.
 All this is irrigated by water pump ed from wells from 2l0 to 300 feet in depth, in which the water rises with in 100 feet of the surface. But he has a project to do away with pumping. Near bye in the Chiracahua range of mountains is fine reservoir site which can be converted into a splendid stor- age supply by dam only about quar- ter of mile long, which will backthe water three quarters of a mile, half a mile wide and 100 feet in depth. Cap tain Tevis has a project on foot by which the canon will be damned next season, giving water supply which will irrigate large area of the splen- did San Simon valley, in the imme- diate vicinity of Bowie. Then hun dreds of acres of such orchards as he now shows will be a matter of but very little time.
