IRRIGATION IN
 NORTHERN PIMA co.

The Arivaca Land X Cattle company has projected rec
 lamation scheme which will be
 the means of furnishing an abun-
 dant supply of water to irriGatc a
 large tract of land in Santa Cruz and
 Pima counties. over in the Oro Elan
 co country. says the Nogales Oasis
 At a very likely site at a point about
 three miles northeast of the OrO
 BlancO settlement a dam will be erected which will impound the drain age of a great area of country and create a large reservoir. The Mon tana Camp is at the head of the watershed. At the point where the dam is to be built there is narrow canon with a short turn. and it is in the turn that the dam will be built, which will cause the weight of the impounded water to rest against the hill above the turn rather than against the dam. The latter will be sixty feet broad at the base, and will arise to a height sufficient to i'm pound a vast volume of water to many thousand acre feet. which will reclaim a large body Df fine land

DATES R|PEN|NG IN
 GOVERNMENT ORCHARD
First Fruit Brought to Phoenix Yes.
 terday by Manager Simmons.

| F. H. Simmons who has charge of
 the government date orchard at Tem-
 po yesterday brought to The Repub- lican office a box of ripe dates. the i first yet brought to Phoenix this year
 so far as known. They are of the
 Rhars variety. though Mir Simmons says he has had dates of the Amari variety ripe for the last ten days. The fruit brought in yesterday was | thoroughly ripened and as luscious as a date may be. MT, Simmons says there are 124 varieties of trees in the orchard and from that number i' would appear that the government ought to be able to determine pretty well about everything in the date world that is suitable for culture in
 these parts.
 The growing of dates is destined
 to become a great industry in the southwest in a very few years In- .deed there is now produced greater tonnage of fruit than most people
 imagine and last year d considerable
 quantity of it was marketed in Los Angeles. Undoubtedly there will be greater yield this year as the trees are that much older and some new trees will begin bearing There are now q great many trees in the val ley, few in place, planted some what eXperimentally. that have not yet come into bearing but will in the near future and it is to be expected that before many years have passed there will be numerous orchards of dates planted with a view to commcr- cialism rather than novelty or home use
 The particular value of the date IS that it grows best on aIkali land where little else can be raised and there are many such tracts available ! in the southwest The government | has demonstrated that dates may bc | grown here as successfully as on | their native soil and it is shown hv | the demand of the market that there | will be buyers for all that can be | produced in competition with the i'm ported product

A Medicine That Does Not Cost Any

The active medicinal ingredients
of RexalI Orderlies, which is odor-
less, tasteless and colorless, is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other extremely valuable in
gradients, it forms a perfect bowel
regulator, intestinal inyigoratOr and
strengthener. Rexall Orderlies are
eaten like candy and are notable for
their agreea bleness to the palate and
gentleness of action. They do not
cause gripping or any disagreeable efe
feet or inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for a
like purpose, they do not create a
habit, but instead they overcome the
cause of habit acquired through the
use of ordinary laxatives, cathartics
and harsh physic and permanently
remove the cause Of constipation or
irregular bowel action.
