PHARR, Jan. 2e.-The Clay Ever

which the famous Temple
are now moving in large volume, Is
attracting the attention Of citrus
fruit growcrs and dealers in all parts
~ the Valley. The orchard has
gained considerable fame BY reason

Valley.
-Four acres az tangcrincs. planted
in 1925. bore heavily this year the
tree being loaded with the luscious
fruit. Fifteen acres # the same
variety. planted in 1926, bore their
first fruit this year, and next season
will come into heavy bearing. By
1880, Mr.. Evcrhard expects to ship
tangerines IN straight carloads. Six
acres Of Temple oranges. planted i'll
1920, have been in bearing 3 years.
and this season every tree was red
with fruit, the orchard presenting a
scene Of ~unrivalled beauty.
Approximately 4 acres Of the Ev-
erhard orchard was planted in 1915.
the planting including some of the
first Valley grown stock. the remain
der Of the four acres being Califor-
MIA grown. After thirteen years the
California trees are somewhat lar
ger than the Valley trees, though
the difference is very slight. But in
production the Valley trees have a
decided advantage. according to a
record over a number Of years.
Development Of the orchard began
in 1915 with the planting Of 3 IL
acrcs Of mixed grapefruit and or
satSo trees. The next planting was
. heres of Temple in 1920,

less grapefruit in 1928. Mr.. Ever
hard decided to engage extensively
in the growing Of tangerines. and I
acres Of that variety were planted in
1926. The following year II acres

acres TO Thompson navel anges

the timber area as far north possibly
as Beechey Lake. He may even, pos
sibly, break through to Bathurst Inlet.
If he can make the trip to Beechey
1t will help to eliminate another area
where the lost explorers may be.
An incidental angle to the Far North
fight of Dickens was the bringing out
of a foot party of Dominion explorers
whom he found at Copper Mine. This
was party headed by Godfrey Gilbert,
mining engineer, from the Michigan
copper fields. who was engaged IN study
familiar. Other members Of the party
we're Wrathall, Dixon and Reeve, pros
pectorS.
Flyers Move Swiftly.
Dickens flew out" Gilbert, Wrathall
and Dixon. Reeve was left behind to
Winter at the cache.
Further reports from the different
fronts of this far-f1ung Northern line
show that in every sector the flyers are
snatching quic!, moves from onrushing
Winter. Pilots Roy Brown and William
Spence, who broke through to establish
an advanced outpost at Baker Lake on
Chesterfield Inlet, are not going to wait
for the freeZe-up to start flights further
north. If they get good day, they will
take of with their seaplanes and dare
to venture with pontoons into this al
ready frozen land where only ski
equipped machines are safe.
In the meantime, skis are being
rushed to them, as well as other elab-
crate equipment necessary for Winter
flying when the thermometer hits the
bottom.
Two more pilots, Andy Cruickshanks
and j. D. Vance. left the Stoney Lake
base at the east end of Lake Athabasca
in an attempt to break through to Baker
Lake as Brown and Spence did four
days ago. CruickShanks and Vance will
fly nosth on pontoon-equipped sea-
planes but they will carry their skis
with them.
If they win through to Baker Lake,
carrying on board skis, the relief organ
ization will have scored another big hit.
That will mean four pilots with four
planes at Baker Lake, on the very edge
of the area into which the MacAlpine
party was swallowed up.
Snow at Baker Lake.
Two and possibly three weeks before
they could possibly begin Winter oper-
ations at the Southern base at Stoney
Rapids, these lNen will be crisS-crossing
the barren lands on their Winter search.
Weather reports from Baker Lake
show snow conditions, making flying i'm
possible at present.

H. punch" Dickens from Fort Simp-
son on the Mackenzie River to Corona
ton Gulf and back in two days, while
it failed to find trace of the missing
Macalpine air party Of eight men,
nevertheless eliminated to a considera-
BILE degree the Great Bear Lake region
from further search.
At the same time. with "Punchs"
failure to cross the tracks of the lost
party went practically the last hope the
relief expedition had of effecting'
rescue before Winter.
Daringly Conceived Flight.
Incidentally. his flight proved one of
the most magnificent on record. 1t was
darinely conceived, brilliantly executed
and carried through with a precision OF
pu. nose that rivaled Lindberg'S flight
to Paris.
Dickens flew to the Arctic rim of the
Canadian mainland, not under Summer
conditions, but with Polar Winter
sweeping down to meet and destroy MIN
and his frail craft. He had hoped to
fly along Coronation Cult as far as
Bathurst Inlet. but at Copper Mine on
the gulf, he ran into Winter log ana
sleet. and was driven back.
Dickens is proving himself an eagle OF
iron nerve and consummate skill. Back
from the farthest North trip an airman
had ever flown, except for the Wilkins
flight across the Pole, he was not con-
tent to rest. The day after his return
he was on the wing across another Sec
ton of the vast Canadian wilderness,
again alone.
With Dickens crashing through to
Brown getting through to Baker Lake
airmen are writing an epic chapter in
aviation history. Indeed. there has
been nothing quite to equal the way in
which these pilots are cracking open a
land out of which man has been viz.
tually locked since the first ice formed
in the North.

ditionS have ever succeeded in crossing

time Col D. H. C. MacAlpine and Rich
