NUMBER SEVENS PLANS.
Thirty Miles of New Canal Provided for in Extension of System Along
 the Mesa.

It is estimated that 25,000 acres of virgin desert land will come under ir- rigation through the construction of the high-line canal by Water Company No. '. and it is anticipated that next spring will see that territory rapidly develop from barren land into one of the most fertile sections of Imperial Valley. Experts in citrus fruit cul- ture predict that lands coming under the new ditch will prove choice or ange land and that they will be adapt able to fruit raising for the early mar kets The agreement made by Water Company No with the California De velopment Company provides that the latter company shall construct new heading, seven miles above the pres ent headgate, thus giving a fall of from seven to ten fete more than is now possible.
 The new canal will start at diver sion of the waters made by dam al most a half mile in length, and it will run along the mesa to the east of the Holt and Hickory canals, and then turn northerly It will represent an outlay of from $4O00O to $5OOOO.
 A ditch-cleaner, modelled on the Allen dredger type, has been built in Los Angeles for Water Company No. z, and portions of it have been received at Holtville. It is expected it will be set up and ready for operation during the present month.

spoke of receiving many inquiries and
those who had been in the eastern
and southern states said thousands OF
people were leaving or preparing tc
leave the old home in quest of new
homes, and many of them are heading
this way. Most of these people have
money with which to buy land as they
have sold their old holdings, while
some have already secured their lane
and are now bringing the family. Steps
! will be taken by the realty men tt
work in harmony and great good i!
looked for from this movement. TIL.

spring, so essential to cause an early
and vigorous growth.
The old hobbies of not pruning,
windbrakes, natural positions and
natures growth, are a thing of the
past. We of the northwest want all
the sunlight AMI circulation of air
we can get. Our trees must have
elbow room and a chance to breathe.
Above all the foliage must not exceed
the root system and moisture at their
command.
Nature abhors vacuum. Nature
demands that a tree shall grow as
long as there is any room to grow,
and fight for territory. 1t never
thinks of growing seeds (fruit) un-
til 1t feels it is going to die. Prun-
ing gives it that feeling, even while
young, then all it's energies are
brought to bear to produce seeds
(fruit) to reproduce it's species, to
copy the vacant space of the dieing
tree.
In another article we Will tell you
how to pru1e to accomplish this.
Sharpen your knife, spring is at
hand, 60 to your barren trees and
bushes, make them believe you in
tend to kill them. If you give them
early and thorough cultivation this
spring, next year they will bend with
tehir load of fruit. Bear in mind we
grow fruit buds and store vitality in

900 years in SO; when with our
lightning express ond ocean grey
hounds it is only a pleasant trip
around the world; with our wireless
telegraph, telephones and mental tel
epathy, our automobiles and flying
machines, life is too short to plant
a. tree and then wait quarter of
century for it to fruit. When eat
ing an apple as boys, we knew some
ones grandpa, or perhaps great
grandpa had planted the seed with. no
thought or hope of ever eating any
of it's fruit.
Not so today. Horticulture is
keeping pace with the advance of
thought. The horticultural wizard
of the Pacific coast has produced a
chestnut tree that fruits the third
year after planting. A white black
berry; nut with a shell as thin as
paper. He has crossed the peach,
| the plum and the apricot and created
new fruits.
Prof. N. E. Hansen of the govern

India has hundred thousand
mothers under the age of ten. In the
United States we have millions OF
dwarf trees that have born many
great loads of fruit at that age.

Pruning will make your trees and

To Move The Capital

The Seattle Trade Register, l.. M. Wood editor, agrees with Congressman Tom Gale that Juneau is not the prop CT town to be made the permanent capital of Alaska. But the Trade Register goes further and names Whitehorse as the proper town to be so honored. It avs Whitehorse Is more centrally located and is, in fact, an ideal place for the location of the cap ital of what was once known as "Sew- ards Ice Chest"
 The Whitehorse Star suggests that some person should take the Register editor back in the stock room, open his head with crowbar, and into the cavity he would find there drop map showing that Whitehorse, while an ideal place for capital-capital of any kind-is situated just ninety miles deep in British territory.
