Few persons who travel across the south
west realize that in Arisona and New Mexico
there are enormous forests of valuable timber
and that the lumbering Is an important indus
try. In both territories there are several large
forest n servations. and one of these in Ari
zona. the Coconino forest, with nearly 6.000
square miles. U the largest single reserve In
the I'nited States. The.' total forest area re
served In Arizona Is lj.!ro,130 acres, or more
than 24.000 square miles, and In New Mexico
there are 10.971.711 acres, or more than 17,000
square miles. Southern California also has
several large reserves.
The Coconino forest in Arizona occupies
part of the great plateau iu which the Grand
Can>on Is cut. and extends to the brink of the
canyon.
The visiter to tbe southwest usually takes
keen interest in the Indians, who arc numer
ous not only along the main lines of travel,
but In many remote villages. Some tribes,
notably the Apaches, who continued to be
troublesome until a relatively recent date,
bare become famous for tbe misdeeds that ma
il rially retarded the development of Arizona
and western New Mexico. Now. however, all
is peace and tranquillity. The newspapers, es
peclally eastern ones, occasionally print ac
counts of uprisings, but thus? prove to be local
quarrels with a few individuals.
The Indians of the southwest are of two
kinds, differing greatly In most of their char
acteristics. One Is the nomad type, represent
ed by the Attaches. Navajos. the Yumas. Pa
uagoes and Plmas. and smaller tribes; the
other Is the pueblo type, which is comprised
of 26 pueblos, or villages, scattered through
central and western New Mexico, and in the
Hopi reserve, in northwestern Arizona.
Probably there is greater popular interest
In the pu< blo people, for their settlements are
Because of its j
dry air and mild climate the southwest has be
come famous as a health report, especially for
those having tuberculosis of the respiratory or
gans. The percentage of cures made in New
Mexico. Arizona and California, great as it is
would be much greater if a larger proportion of |
those who are seeking health came in time. It is
uecessary to come before the vitality is too
greatly diminished and then to live under
favorable conditions, the most essential of
w hich is to fee out cf doors as much as pos
sible.
Many health-seekers spend most of their
money in railroad fare to reach the desired
resorts. Physicians do a great wrong to pa
tients in sending them so tar from home,
friends anti care without means to provide
suitable quarters, nourishment and attention
to sustain them while making their light
again it death.
ddie cilmate of the southwest presents con
siderable variety, but in all the lower lands
the winters are delightfully mild, and every
where blue sky is in evidence for more than
100 days in the year. The summers are
warm: In the southern desert area they- are
decidedly het for several months, but the dry
air even then Is much more endurable than
the sultry sutjsnier weather of the eastern and
central states. Sunstroke is unknown, and
laborers continue their work without distress.
The valley of southern California is pro
tected from the cold northern winds of winter
by high mountain ranges, while to the south
it is open to the Pacific. Owing to the pecu
liar configuration of the coast the cold Cali
fornia current from the north is deflected west
near Point Conception, and hence the south
ern California shores have waters warmer by
about ten degrees than those to the north.
This beneficent climate is respotis*ble for
the riant industry of fruit growing which has
made California fatuous over the globe. Cali
fornia furnishes the major pari of the very
large amount or oranges and other citrus
fruits consumed in the Catted States, and
this business has been the potent cause in the
development of southern California.
The orange and other citrus fruits of
southern California hare aa output of about
30.00*) carloads a year, with a »e! value of
more than S15.00O.O00.
East of the mountains in southern Califor

known as Imperial valley has the greatest
development, and with rich soil aud semi-trop

One of the best known products of this
region is the canteloupe. of which the annual
shipments are over 1.S00 cars, bringing nearly
a million dollars This valley contains over
400.000 acres of land, and just across the Mex

GIVEN UP TO TRADE
Only the Old Guard Holds Forth
on Fifth Avenue, N. Y.
Fashionable Thoroughfare Has Been
Almost Completely Sold Out to In
vading Mercenaries—Only Few
Prominent Families Remain.
New York.—Imperious old Fifth
avenue has gene—not Into clay, but
into trade. At Fifty-second street the
Vanderbilts, the Sloanes and the Shep
ards. buttressed behind their massive
mansions, have been making the last
stand of the old guard against the in
vasion of mercenaries. But now. un
like the old guard, they have surren
,dered. and within a wear Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt will hare for third
door neighbor a French modiste with
fine, big electric signs to enliven the
famous mansion at Fifty-seventh
street, where for years and years the
destinies of social America have been
swayed.
It is well within the memory oi
most New Yorkers when E^th avenue
from Fiftieth to Fifty-ninth street was 1
so exclusive that only the Knlcker
bockers c-ouid live there.' whatever
their wealth. Then policemen frowned
creaseless trousers of! the street Now
folks of all classes mingle freely, and
there is only one block in all the ten ;
where trade has not intruded. In this
block within six months an apartment
house with a promised height of some
hundreds of feet will crown the neigh
borhood.
• The whole story of it all Is that the
“old Fifth avenue” has sold out. It has
received more monex consideration
from trade for moving up town into
the new Fifth avenue than the senti
mental satisfaction of preserving Its
ancestral homes was worth. It has
emigrated northward—or to Europe,
therefore, leaving only the three Van

the Huntingtons and William Rocke
The Vanderbilt Home.
feller as r* prescntatlves to battle at
the last ditch or make the surrender
complete.
Take that stroll down Fifth avenue
from Fifty-ninth street, for the fun of
It. Then It was one fine long row of
mansions—granite and marble and
brownstone—every one a palace and
every one Inhabited by an aristocracy
as great as America can ever furnish.
But now. walking down the street
from the park entrance, you meet few
er mansions than shops even for the
first three blocks. A count shows five
brokers, three real estate offices, two
corset concerns and a French modiste
between the Plaza and the residence
of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt to the
south. And in Fifty-seventh street
not far from the Vanderbilt mansion
and just west of the Harry Payne
Whitney residence, the famous old Oli
ver Harrlir.an mansion is to be made
over into a store for a dressmaker. The
fact that this new neighbor is said to
have been a Virginia beauty before she
entered the trade, however, may ap
peal to the sor'd taste of the Whit
neys and Vanderbilts.
Just below, the famous old Andrew
Zabriskie house has gone Into the
hands of Schumann's sons, who are
making it over into fine business quar
ters. with apartments above. And
right there, also, is the Collis P. Hunt
ington mansion, with a n-’w gilded art
shop across the way.
This little jaunt down Fifth avenue
shows, in addition, an aroaring display
of glittering signs, with stately back
grounds of brownstone and marble, ad
vertising trade where New York's real
society used to hold levee. Signs are
everywhere. One of them even adver
tises coal trom the basement of an old
mansion that wreckers are destroying
overhead.

The Reason It Aged. ,
"I have kept this whisky twenty
years."
"Gee! Yon must have known what
kind It was!"
keeping Cheese hard task
It Should Be Kept Under a Glass o
China Top All the Year
Around.
Welsh rsrehits. cheese souffles and
other cheese dishes are convenient f r
summer, U cheese can be kept in con
dition.
This is so difficult that deaVrs re
fuse to sell certain cheeses during hot
weather, while others spoil so quickly
as to be unsafe to buy.
Where one lives within convtr.'.-n:
distance of a store buy only enough
cheese for immediate use. any loss is
thus up to the dealer.
If living in the country, it is neces
sary to keep cheese on hand: though
large supplies should not be laid in.
Cream and soft cheese in jars or tin
foil should be kept in the refrigerator
until just before using. As the odor of
the cheese quickly taints other foods
it should be kept in a tightly covered
glass or china bowl or jar A large
preserving jar with screw iid will hold
several smaller Jars of cheese.
Do not eat cheese in summer if
there is the least green mould on it.
Impress this upon maids, as some of
them scrape It from the edges and
serre the rest of the cheese in balls
or squares.
Cheeses like Sweltier, American or
certain of the English and Swiss
cheeses, should be kept under a glass
or china top ail the year round if
brought in quantities. In warm
weather it Is well to wrap the cheese
first in a clean piece of lines wrung
out of vinegar.
Care of Brooms.
With the increased cost of brooms,
the thrifty housewife wishes to pre
serve their usefulness as long as pos
sible. Soak a now broom for several
minutes in hot suds; this not only
toughens but tightens the broom
whisps. Then hang it up to dry. A
broom, when not in use. should always
be hung up. Cut a groove around the
handle and tie a cord around it. leav
ing a loop for hanging, or use one of
the patent fasteners which screw to
a door. These may be bought for a
few cents. The soaking process should
be repeated every fortnight.
Another housewife washes her
boroms in cold soap water, rir.se*
thoroughly in cold water, snaps off all
moisture possible and prvssing the
corns into shape places where they
will dry slowly. AU matting will also
last longer when occasionally wiped
up with salt and water.
Little Date Pudding.
One pound stoned dates, one-half
pound suet, one cup Sour, one-half cup
sugar, one scant teaspoon salt, one tea
spoon cinnamon, one teaspoon ctitger.
