 There were two other bidders for the entire job. the next highest being the Phoenix Reinforced Concrete com pany whose bid was s59, 9,4S2, The oth- CT bidder was T. l.. Edens, whose of- fer was an even $60, 1000. In addition there were quite a number of segre- gated bids: that is bids for one part of the work or another, but there were no segregated bids on certain parts of the work so by their acceptance an entire building could not be provided for and it was decided preferable to let the entire contract to one man.
 Another recommendation of the building committee. adopted by the di- rectors. was That L. G. Knipe be rec commended to Frost X Frost. archi- tects. as superintendent in the con- struction of the building. The build ing will be constructed in strict con- formity with the plans of Frost & Frost, which have already been care fully discussed and adopted.

The prices charged will be no more than one would pay for haulage if he bought it direct from Mother Nature the manufacturer. In fact the Pioneer Transfer company claims to be the ''manufacturer' s agent" One would think the rehand- ling of the material would make it ex- pensive, but the first hauling will be done by the teams that might other wise be "eating their heads off in the barn, on days when they are not busy. and the gravel being already in town. can be delivered in little while and often when there would be no team available to send to the river or the gravel bank after it.

AN OLD COMP ANY IN
 A NEW BUSINESS
Pioneer Transfer Go. Will Start a Re- tail Establishment For Selling the Earth in Small Lots.

While a score or more of real estate men are busy selling the desert at wholesale, or in large acreage pack ages. it has remained for the Pioneer Transfer company to lay in a stock of different kinds of desert to supply the retail trade and the small buyer. Des ert used to be cheap here but it has grown valuable now and people some times are willing to pay good prices for it in wagon load lots.
 The Pioneer Transfer company has rented a vacant lot at the corner of First and Jackson streets and propose to keep constantly on hand a fine line of river boulders. Tempe gravel. river sand, and all other varieties of dirt and debris for which there seems to be a local demand. The goods will be choice and will be brought to the sales lot" by the company's teams,

SECOND APPEARANCE
 OF SWEtT SOPRANO
In Phoenix at the Arizona School of Music Last Evening.


 Those who heard Amalia Schmidt Gobble in Messiah and did not hear her in recital last night at the Arizona School of Music can hardly appreciate the superior advantage to which this pleasing soprano appeared before an enthusiastic audience in the latter event. It was really here that she was able to do credit to her special powers. Her reception was therefore full of warmth and sincerity.
 The circle of her admirers must na turally have been greatly widened by the beautiful and entrancingly sweet rendition of Non de Strami (waltz song from Romeo and Juliet) Gounod. Ronalds The Summertime Cycle was another notable selection. There can be no denying the fascination of her vocal achievements. which are due not alone to the possession of a lovely voice, but to a fine appreciation of composers moods and entire sympathy with him. Mrs. GObble sang a N.Iried program pronounced by many the most delightful heard for many day Applause and recalls were frequent and must have been highly inspiring III hel "Oih tO 'iiiS iieN artist, who has come a long ways from the east to add Arizona to the worlds conquered by song.

HIS LIFE SAVED BY
 GOVERNOR KIBBEY
Death Sentence of Henry Davis Com rnuted to Life Imprisonment.

Governor Kibbey yesterday commut- ed the sentence of death pronounced upon Henry Davis by Judge Nave of the fifth district to life imprisonment. The communication was granted very largely on the recommendation of Judge Nave. who wrote the governor that the verdict was in accordance with the law and he could not legally set it aside. though he felt that the punishment was too severe for the of icpSe.
 Davis has contended all along that he killed Jones in self defense. that he was fearful Of his own life and that Jones had made many threats against him. He has also written the gov crnor and has appealed to the news

HOMESTEAD FILINGS
 ON ARIZONA LANDS
Last Years Acreage Was Almost Double That of the Year Before.

Secretary Geo. W. Cowgirl of the board of trade has secured figures from another source. the United States land office, which give testimony to the rapidity with which Arizona is settling up. The figures are for two years running from April 1 to April l, and show that 4S.46l acres more land were filed upon under the homestead laws in the year just ended than in the year before Here are the figures:
 1966-7 1907-S Incre. Acreage .... G5,153 113.6144S,461 Entries ...... 467 S65 39S Fees ....... s4,190i s7,S66s3.676
 Prospective settlers in Arizona should understand however that this showing has nothing to do with the irrigated district to be watered by the Roosevelt reservoir There may have been a few entries along the fringe Of the desert, near the district, but no considerable acreage. The land in the reservoir district is all titled land, un- der irrigating canals, and can be bought only of present private owners not Uncle Sam, who has no lands for sale in the district. The reason pri- vate owners have it for sale is that some of them have acquired larger holdings than the government will permit one owner to get water for and the land must be sold if cultivated. Others do not care to cultivate their full holdings, even with the govern ment's permission, for they can make a living on a much smaller holding and start bank account by selling the surplus at a modest price.
 The greater part of the land entered by homestead has been in the Sulphur Springs and other large valleys where artesian water is available. and in the mountain valleys.

An event of Interest to the play
going world is "The Squaw Man"
with Dustin Farnum in the title
role which will make It's bow at the
Kentucky on January 6. The play
is a western romance written by
Edwin Milton Royle, and II gets its
title from the status which public
opinion on the Indian reservation,
or among the civilized tribes gives
to a white man who marries an In
dian woman. The Indian woman
herself may be white save for a
faint OF aboriginal blood, which
gives her "a head-right." she may
be cultured, the product in her early
womanhood of an eastern univer-
sity, and all the rest OF II, but her
husband is "a squaw man" just tho
same, and not infrequently his white
neighbors, ana full-bloodej fellow
citizens are prone to look down on
him a bit. Mr.. Royle has taken this
idea and from It has constructed
what. from all accounts, has proved
one of the most intensely interesting
plays of modern times.
