with it's eight or nine hundred happy,

first man to fully grasp the possibil-

applied his theories to this particular
district with surprising results. NOT
only did he build the Northern canal
and furnish the water supply, but he
planted great orchards and alfalta

market came. Now these apples are
being marketed by the train load ana
sent into markets all over the United

train loads and there is an eager de-
mand for every ton Of it that can be
grown.
Now the Northern canal ana th'
