CUTOFF TO BE BUILT.

1t is reported that the building of
the long delayed cutoff between Win
kleman and San Carlos through the
Box canyon Of the Gila river is soon
to be begun. This is part of the plan
for a through grade line from
Bowie to the coast, which will give
the Southern Pacific second line be
tween the points named besides put
ting Phoenix on a direct line to Los
Angeles and the east
T. The plan involves the building OF
a line from Yuma to the present wes-
tern terminus of the Arizona and East
ern, and the closing of the gap be-
tween Winkleman and San Carlos
which will complete the line. This
total length Of the line to be built
between the two last named points
is thirty miles, and it is estimated
that the construction will cost ST.
100000 mile 1t will be nearly all
rock work and will necessitate many
bridges and tunnels, hence the high
cost of construction.

months that the Santa Fe would

(Palo Verde Valley Herald.)

The famous reputation obtained
throughout the state by the eucalyp-
tus has been greatly increased to
the settlers here by the showing
these trees have made in the PalO
Verde valley. Throughout the year
it's foliage has kept it's attractive col
or and from the time the seed was
thrust into the soil these thrifty pio-
neers have never stopped growing for
an instant and now in many places
they have robbed the desert of it's
barrenness. afforded cooling shelter
from the desert summer sun, besides
making a grove where, in short
time. the thrifty rancher may obtain
abundant hardwood lumber and fire
wood
The double row OF eucalyptus plant
ed on the boundaries of the Hopkins
ranch although when planted this
spring they were only six inches high
they now average more than six feet
while many are eight and ten feet in
height Many planted at the same
time on the Ronald ranch are still
larger than the above mentioned and
calibre three and one half inches The
twO-year stands in the valley are all
good and making the very best re
suits They are about twenty-five 10
thirty feet in height and trunks
straight.
There are many species planted in
the valley and many have done we'll
The species most extensively planted
thus far the forest gray gum &c.
tereticorus), red gum (E. rostrata) +,
mama gum (E. Viminalis). The
first two mentioned are highly de-
sirable and make a rapid growth
The settlers crop manual says refer
ring to the first mentioned: ''In a
naturally desert and treeless country
it will prove of great value for fence
posts, fuel, and for purposes for which
durable hardwood lumber is used. )"
E. Viminalis is a good ornamental va
riety and does well for street plant
ing
The e.. .rmous growth which re-
spends 90 the little attention which
the eucalyptus requires has amply re-
paid all those in the valley who have
attempted growing them and when
arranged so that they may be irri
gated III conjunction with other crops
the ranCher has stand of lumber in
short time at small cost Experts
claim mai in a few years trees are
large enough to make use of for va
rious purposes. They will easily
make growth of over fifteen feet a
year 'l'he cost of the trees is small
TIE growth is rapid, the results early,
and the valley certainly needs tree
planting.
