 THE TOWN FILLING UP.-Rs al estate n.en and those conducting house renting agencies say that there ar. more winter residents in Phoenix than usual at this season of the year. Rents are no higher. probably not so high. on account of the great number of comparatively small residence houses built for speculative purposes dUriQS the summer. The not5ls are not yet well filled and may be said to have not been formally opened. A great number of the winter residents who have come are strangers, those who have never been here before. There is expected to be a great thrush next month. ani then a period of quiet for one month. After the holidays there is always q heavy immigration to escape the most disagreeabIe season of the north, the months of February and March. BASEBALL MEETING TONIGHT There will be a meeting of baseball players and all those who are inter ested in encouraging baseball, at the board of trade room tonight. A mum Der of well known business men haVs interested themselves in the. matter. and it is confidently believed the hep of others will be secured. It is pro posed to perfect a complete organiza- tion from among the business men. and | the boys that play ball will then have nothing to do but play ball and keep up the standard of their work. IT | that is done the enthusiasm of the public will be forthcoming, and the l men who back the organization will ! have something to offer. and in eX- change for it should find satisfactory i gate receipts. It is not intended to make baseball in this city an expen- sive luxury for a few, but if little encouragement is given at the start | it would prove self-sustaining.
