Arizona republican., 1908-11-29

unwholesome business conditions in the east and elsewhere building for profit has steadily increased. The public is just beginning to learn that lumber is cheap and are taking ad- vantage of it.
 As far as the lumber trade is con- cerned, Phoenix is in a sense isolated. A break in the price of lumber on the coast would not necessarily be followed by a similar break here. The valley is so situated geographically that two or three dealers could if they wished keep up the price in spite of a break elsewhere. When the price of lumber in Phoenix is high the Arizona mills at Flagstaff and Williams are run to their full ca pacity. This year these mills have cut less lumber than ever before, as they have not found it profitable to meet the prices of the coast product.
 In addition to the automatic law of supply and demand. the price of lum- Der in Phoenix is the result of com petition, and this competition is due to the stand taken by a single firm of lumber dealers-the Buckeye Lum- Der company. In a great measure the present activity in building opera tions may be credited to this firm alone
 With few lumber dealers in the city, a tacit understanding in regard to prices could easily have been made and the clauses of the Sher- man act successfully lodged. The price of lumber could have been ahnxra st nd ha additional charge put down to ship ping expenses. But this has not been done. A break in the coast prices has been felt here as quickly as a fall in stocks in the New York eX- change is reflected at the Chicogo Board of Trade. The schedule of prices fixed by this company are determined by the cost of produc- tion and transportation with a fair profit added. These prices are drawn up without reference to prevailing prices charged by other local firms.
 In contrast with the prices of lum- Der in Phoenix are those obtained in Tempe and Mesa. Cheap quality lum- Der can be bought here for $27.50; in those cities it is $37.50 or $10 thousand feet more. Many builders in those cities have found it cheaper to have thir lumber hauled from Phoenix than to buy of their local dealers. During the past year the Buckeye Lumber company has pro Vided lumber for at least a dozen houses on the other side of the river.
 The same conditions prevailed in Phoenix until this lumber firm low cred the Drice without regard tO com petitors.. oregon pine never sold here for less than $40 a thousand except about six years ago when the price was lowered to $35, due to low prices on the coast.

THE STONE RANCH IS
 SOLD ID p. J. M'KINNEY
It Is the Largest Deal in Unimproved
 Ranch Land Made During the Year.

The largest transaction of ranch land for the present year was consummated Thursday when Porter J. Mckinney purchased 32O acres in section 35, 2 north, 1 east, of Dr. H. H. Stone, for $100 an acre or s32,000. The sale was made through the Greene and Griffin Real Estate and Investment Co.
 MT. Mckinney is one of the most successful ranchers in the valley and has acquired a large amount of valley land in the six years in which he has been in Phoenix. He came here from Missouri about six years ago and at once proceeded to purchase choice tracts of land. Up to the time of the purchase of the Stone ranch he had acquired title to 1900 acres, every acre of which he put under cultivation.
 The Stone ranch is unimproved and Mir. Mckinney will at once have it cleared and made ready for planting There is perhaps no one in the valley who has faith in the future agricultural prospects of the valley more than MT. Mckinney and he is constantly demon strating his faith by additional pur- chases. His most recent purchase is located about eight miles west of Phoe- nix.
 Among the smaller sales made by Greene & Griffin during the week was a lot in the New Mountain View tract which has just been opened by that firm. to Carl Bunch of Silver Bell, who broke the ice and became the first purchaser. The price was $450.
 D. K. McInnis bought of Walter Lund a business block and lots in Glendale for $4000.

NEW COMPANY ID DEVELOP AND CO[ON|zE VALLEY LAND
The kelIog Ranch To Be Sub Divided Into Lots and Farms and Taken Up By Germans.

One of the important events of the week in the business world is the or ganization of the German Investment company The capital stock of this company will be $50.OOO which will be fully paid. Shares will be sold at their par value of $10O. It Is the purpose of the company to develope and colonize land in the immediate vicinity of Phoenix.
 The company was organized by Emil Erhart of Ft. Wayne, Ind. and Jacob Hirschey of Lisbon, N. D. The officers are: President, Jacob Hirs- chey; vice president, Emil Erhart; second vice president, Jacob Kleck; treasurer, Memo Yaggey; secretary, H. l. Latham; directors, Frank T. AL kire and R. P Davie
 The first operations of the new company will be conducted at the old Kellog ranch eghich will be known as the German addition. This tract of 110 acres was purchased a week ago by the H. I Latham company. and will be turned over to the new company for development It is situated on the Tempe road and adjoins the city linn
  Steele of the old Arizona Water com pany. It is within three blocks of the Washington and Brill street car lines.
 This tract will be cut up into lots, 100 by 200 feet many of them fronting on the Tempe road. and the balance into tracts of 1h acres up to 10 acres. A surveyor is already on the ground and the work of improvement will be- gin)at once.
 This tract will be the first venture of the new company and other lands will be deceloped as soon as conditions warrant it.
 Many of the lots and small farms are already practically sold and other Germans from the middle states have signified their intention of coming to take up a part of it. While it is not the intention of the company to eX- clude others than Germans from res idence in this tract nearly all of those who have thus far agreed to take up land are of that nationality. The ma jority of them are from. ohio and h. diana. Many of them were induced to come here by the H. I. Latham com pany and now that they are here are writing to their friends about the op- portunities for comfortable home oft fered by the arrangements made by the company.
 There will be about 50 lots and farms open for settlement by the sub division of the Kellog ranch. There will be moderate building restrictions and sanatoria, tent houses and the like will not be permitted. Much of the stock will be taken up by the German element. The proceeds of the com pany will be used for further colon- ization and development purposes.
 Most of the officers of the company are well known here. Jacob Kleck and Memo Yaggey have been here for sev- eral years and have property inter ests in the valley. Mir. Alkire and Mir Latham are both well known and Mir Davie, since his connection with the beet sugar factory. has been accounted a leading citizen of Phoenix

MAJOR LEAGUE EATERS.
Youngsters Rank High as Batsmen
 Among American Clubs.

In the sticking line the youngsters are monopolizing the honors in the American league, nine of the II players who are now rapping better than 300 being under 30 years of age. Ambrose Mcconnell of Bos- ton still leads the swatsmiths, though with a reduced average, with Neal Ball of New York 13 points behind him. Claud Rossman of De- -troit is coming fast and is now in fourth place, supplanting the great Hal Chase of New York. Stone. the 1906 leader, and Ty Cobb, last year. champion clouter. both have the same averages.
 Outside of four pitchers there are only four other men in the National league that can be classed as big clouters. Leach of Pittsburg leads, with Dooin of Philadelphia behind him.
 Following are the batting aver ages of the players in both leagues who have taken part in 12 or more games and pitchers who have parti- cipated in six contests and are hit ting above .275.

THE DAIRY FARM" |"

"The Dairy Farm" is the offering of the Poli Stock company at Jacques this week and the play promises to be received as we'll as any yet given. The play is in four acts which abound in brisk dialogue, some really good comedy, and enough of the dramatic to make it rather enjoyable for the audience. David Hartford is again in the leading role and as usual he enacts his part in manner that can- not fail to impress. Stage Manager Harry Stubbs has staged the produc- tion we'll and also furnishes an ex- cellent characterization of Lehm Sparmley. Miss Van Duzer in the role of Araminto Whirebeck, makes decided hit, as does Miss Louise Le Blanc..

Joe Connor Is Still the Real Leader
 With the Stick.
 The state official scorer, Sid Chal- lenger, sends out the league rec ords this week as follows:
 There have been eomings and goings in the batting roll of honor this week. more goings than com ings, and the indications are that there will be still further reductions in the future, although one or two old timers have not yet struck their gait.
 The leader from up to last Friday evening Is the Hon Pete Wilson, he of the axe yielding fame, like Clad stone, Lincoln and other great ones. Pete has not been in many games, but he gets in on the five limit for the present and his figures are .437, which is going some for Pete, when it is recalled that he used to hit about .0001 most of the time last year. Next on the list" is another of New Haven, who has banged for AT.
 But the real leader is our old friend Joe Connor, who is doing so much biffing that he biffed the um- pire and is now doing penance by order of the league president for a period of ten days. His average is AIS. Right behind Joe comes our own Jimmy O'Rourke. The fans saw Saturday what he has been doing in the stick line, and that fattening work is not in these figures, for the record only goes to Friday evening. But without those four fine welts in four times up Jimmy can show All, which is going a bit in these days of no hit games Here is the hunch.
