PLAN BIGGEST TIMBtR
 TRACT IN AMERICA
Canadian Government May Establish Enormous Reserve in Northern AL berta and Saskatchewan.

Edmonton Alberta, June 12.-Spec- ial correspondence of The Republican. As a result of the destructive forest fires which have consumed several million dollars worth of timber north of here this spring. efforts are being made to have the Canadian govern ment extend it's fire ranger service over the northern part of Saskatche wan and Alberta and to establish a new forest reservation which shall eX ceed in magnitude anything of the kind which has hitherto been at tempted. At present the largest Ca nadian reserve is the Rocky Mountains Park in British Columbia, which con tains 2,S26,24O acres. The proposed reserve, if the plan is carried out, would exceed this by several million acres and would be larger even than the great reserve which was created d year ago in the state of Washington, which covers an area of nearly 10,00) square miles and is the largest govern ment reserve in the United States, with the exception of the Yellowstone Park
 The establishment of such a reser- vation will benefit the United States fully as much as Canada. The grow ing shortage of timber is leading lum- bermen each year to look farther afield for timber to meet the enormous demand when the forests of Michigan and Minnesota are exhausted. One of the places to which they are turning is the region north of here in which the fires have occurred this spring. which is known as ''Canada's Wood Box" for it is part of the largest spruce forest in the world.
 The great Canadian spruce belt is a forest 5000 miles long. Starting at Labrador 1t stretches west to the re- zion north of Lake Superior and from there sweeps in a gigantic semicircle to the Rocky mountains and the low CT Mackenzie river. Geologically it follows the Laurentian Highland that mass of primeval crystalline rock that forms the back bone of Canada. South and southwest of it, in the hollow of the bow, lie the fertile wheat fields of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Northward is Hudson Bay and the frozen plains of the Artic circle. Be- its course stretches unbroken forest, giant spruce and larch and poplar.
 Here the Algonquin and Athapaskan Indians roamed in the days of the Hudson's Bay company, as is evidenc ed by the names of a thousand lakes and streams. More recently lumber men have begun to cut timber on the lower slopes of the divide. In the greater part of this vast region. how ever. whic hcovers over GOO, ,OOO square miles and is a fifth as large as the entire United States, the sound of axe or saw has never been heard Much of it even today has not been explored

Tie
 General Demdnd

of the Well Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

LOVE AND MARRIAGE ABROAD.
Boy and Girl Friendships of America
 Unknown in Europe.

The European man thinks he knows
 the American girl, but he judges her
 by the girls of his own country, and therefore entirely misunderstands her. He cannot comprehend the healthy, un-
 romantic friendships that exist in
 America between boys and girls, who see each other under all sorts of in formal circumstances, and yet have no | thought of love or sentiment He | thinks the American girl has had long experience in the ways of men, and that she is as well versed in the man.
 ner of lovers as the experienced mar
 ried flirts of Parisian and Roman so- ciety. Used to men she is, but not to
 the sort of men she meets for the first time abroad. She is used to the type of boy that she has known all her life" She can fathom what he thinks
 on pretty much any subject, and wheth- CT he is in love with her or not is a
 matter that she can decide without
 much danger of mistake. Above all, the American youth is outspoken and frank. He has no hidden or ulterior
 motives; he spends little time in dis lcussing what he thinks. He likes best
 to show his muscle and his skill in athletics. and the intimacy between
 boys and girls is founded on doing
 things together. riding, swimming,
 playing tennis, or coasting and skating; not on talking of ideas.
 Yet-and this Is very important and
 also very difficult to express: In the
 minds of American young men love and
 marriage are synonyms. To the Euro
 pean, love is love, and marriage is
 marriage; the two have not of neces- sity any connection.-From Every body's Magazine.

A FRESNO VISITOR !. WHO LIKES PHOENIX
An Experienced Fruit Raiser Says the Conditions Here Are Ideal for Many Varieties.

A. A. Green of Fresno has been a
 Phoenix visitor for the last three weeks, having come to visit a relative who came here seeking climatic bene- fits. Though not here for the purpose
 of seeking a new home or additional
 investments, he cannot fail to note the advantages of this section for many
 things. He has been a resident of
 Fresno for many years, and is one of
 the prosperous grape growers of that
 wonderful section, the greatest grape country in the world. There is a great
 similarity between that section and
 this in many ways, and in other re-
 spects quite notable differences.
 MT. Green says the Phoenix climate
 is rejuvenating, even if it is hot, and the heat being dry, is not hurtful, and for many things beside is a great ad- vantage. He has been a careful and systematic student of the fruit busi- ness, his investigations being scientific as well as practicable. He not only knows and recognizes ideal conditions for this variety of fruit and that, but can tell why a given condition is an
 advantage or a disadvantage. For in
 stance, for certain fruits he believes the iron and lime that seems abundant
 in the valley soil is a great advantage and the pure air and almost perfect
 sunlight produces in many plants a quantity of sugar in excess of that found in similar plants elsewhere.
 When told of the former success of grape growing here, he said he was
 not surprised, and believes that this may be made famous grape country,
 if careful experimentation is made. He
 said hundreds of varieties should be planted in experimental plots and given test of five or six years, conditions
 being carefully noted. Thereafter it
 would be easy to select the best adapt
 ed fruits. Owing to the fact that the season is earlier here than in the Fres-
 no section, he believes that if the prop CT varieties are planted. even the fla nous Fresno grapes may have to take back seat in the early market.
 He recites quite interestingly the ex- perience of one man who is known as the father of Fresno. He planted over five hundred varieties of grapes when he first went to that country. He sold young plants and cuttings enough from the numerous varieties to other experimenters to pay the expense of his experiments, and when he found out the right kinds to plant, he set out his own vineyards and quietly and sys- tematically got rich.
 Another thing MT. Green notes is the absence of insect pests that are so
 destructive in parts of California. He
 says he does not believe they could
 ever flourish so well here as in that country, unless by years of irrigation the soil should become saturated and the climate to some extent changed.
 However. he says it would be the part
 of wisdom for the Arizona fruit grow
 CTS to be careful and see that no fruit . plants, trees or vines are imported from other countries unless they are fumigated or treated in some manner
 that will insure their being absent from , infection.

Another Lucky
Escape From ire

One of the luckiest escapes from
serious fire Delta has had, was that of
Tuesday noon when the wall OF the old
Lowe livery building was discovered on
fire. The building is one of frame
row on the east side of Main and with
in few feet of the flame starting up
was row of open windows along the
hay room which extends clear back to
the alley. From these windows loose
hay was bulging. The fire was dis
covered opportunely and the location
being but about 100 feet from the hose
station, heroic action overcame the
blaze Just in the nick of time. With
the wind blowing agale from the south
west, had the flame had few seconds
more start it would most likely have
been impossible to stop confiagrat'on
that would have swept at least block
of buildings and taken in its path both
the Baptist and Presbyterian churches.
The fire presumably had its origin
from a cigarette or cigar stub careless
ly tossed by some smoker at the end OF
the bill board shutting oil the corral
from the sidewalk, and alongside the
building, the whole arrangement being
an admirable fire trap.

Board Exploits
Water Reserves.

A delegation of the Delta town board
visited the towns water supply source
on Grand Mesa the first of this week
on an exploration trip in the towns in
terest, the object being to obtain water
supply information, etc.
Those of the party were Mayor Hau-
ser, Trustees Hillman, Chiles and
Castle. and Attorney Millard Fairlamb
Line Superintendent Hauser was also
of the party.
They left Delta Sunday morning
early, taking along saddle horses. ar
irving at the Doughspoon system at 3
in the afternoon. In the evening they
inspected this system and Monday
morning at o'clock started for the
Alkali springs which they reached by
travelling over rough country on horse
back and afoot.
These springs they found to flow
about three-fourths of a cubic foot of
water per second, about on par with
that of the Doughspoon springs, and
with watershed of about equal area.
They were not Of the opinion. however,
that it would be wise to go westward
for water.
They rested in camp until | O'Clock
p. m, then started for the head water
of Oak Creek. At the termination of
this journey they had to tie their horses
and make a climb TO an elevation of
some 400 feet. much of which was
almost precipitous. Here they came
to Oak Greek spring. which is much
higher than Doughspoon, Of splendid
water and flowing fully one and one
half times as much water. 1t was
estimated that connection with this
water could be made by piping 3 miles.
The main idea at present is to pro-
vide an adequate winter supply, that
for the summer being plentiful, and, of
course, taking into consideration the
growing need of a growing city.
Another matter was looked over;
the towns telephone line to the head of
its water system. This line will be
owned by the town, which can con-
tract its building at a cost of $3.50.
Arrangements will be made to connect
it, when completed, with both local
telephone systems. By the use of this
line the great amount of water now
wasted by overfiowing the tanks. can
be saved, as the flow from the head
can be regulated so as to simply keep
them filed. while as it is they are over
flowing much of the time.

High School Show

Bachelors Congress- given at the

School talent, was very successfully
rendered to a large and appreciative
house. The characters were all so
well played that to attempt individual
description would occupy more than
our crowded space this week will ad-
init. The fact is in evidence, however.
that not even the splendid home talent
displayed by Montrose possesses more
merit than was shown by Delta's his
