greatly improved by more concentra- ton.
 There may be some improvements that Phoenix needs more than side walks, but we can't think of them now. This subject appeals to us more strongly perhaps than to the day light residents of the city for on sev- eral occasions a belated journalist has fallen into an irrigation ditch while vending his devious homeward path in the early hours. What, with the burro trails which are accepted in lieu of sidewalks, the chuck holes and a certain unoccupied grave, which has never been filled in, yawn- ing for victims in the corner of a lot which is used, wrongfully no doubt, as a short cut, the journalist finds night travel in Phoenix not devoid of adventure. And then very early one morning. all of the electric lights went out and remained out for a few minutes, leaving only the north star, which is not run by dynamos, to guide the wanderer.
 Many stories of the richness of the soil in the Salt River valley have been published. but one related last week by Will Robinson, who has charge of the George Hahn ranch on the Mcdowell road, struck the Pointers" man as the last word.
 You see" said Mir. Robinson as he led the way through a grove of newly planted orange trees. ''in growing or anges. the first thing you do is to plant the field with garlic and the second year you put in the oranges
 With garlic? Why is that?'

INFLUX OF SETTLERS
 IN VALLEY PREDICTED
Glendale Sugar Factory and Big ln1-
 migration will Benefit the Valley.

In the absence of w. J. Murphy, who is on a hurried business trip in the east, w. D. Fulwiler yesterday spoke of present conditions in the valley and predicted for the ensuing winter and spring the largest immi- grafton the valley has yet seen.
 If our correspondence means any thing" said Mr. Fulwiler, it indi- cates a migration to Phoenix and the valley I presume that other houses are receiving just as many letters of inquiry in regard to the purchase of houses and farm lands
 Besides the usual immigration which may confidently be expected. and which will certainly result in raising the price of real estate, is U, benefit we will derive from the imPrtus to be given to the sugar beet 1dustry through the Southwest ern : gar and Land company. It will be lie first big ia tory with a big payroll to locate in the valley. Others will soon follow the lead of this company It will be a big thing for the farmers as well as everybody else. -Beets rais d in the valley in 1906 averaged 19.6 tons to the acre. At SAYS a ton tn s leaves a gross profit of $93.1O an scre. One patch went as high as 42 Ons. With market at hand for thi. product the farmers can hardly help making money. MT. A1urhhy has already shown his faith in the enterprise by planting 800 acres in beets.
 MT. Murphy has gone east to close some important pending deals. On his return he will at once inaugurate some large improvements in the val ley"

has to be reduced before the orange trees can be planted. Garlic is a sort of vegetable limburger and ac- complishes this result very nicely"
 This statement appears to require salt, as MT Robinson has acquired quite a reputation as a writer of fairy stories.
 The rapid development of Phoenix since the year 1902 could hardly be better illustrated than by the state ment made last week by O. A. Tur- ney. Tn the ten years from '92 to 1902" said MT. Turney, but three plats of ub-divisions were sent to the recorders office. When we com plete the orders we now have in this office we will have drawn up thirty such plats in the last two years. When we consider that there are others in this city doing the same thing some idea of the way the city is spreading out over the valley may be obtained"

It is a continual source of wonder to the writer of this column just why so many of the residents of Phoenix elect to live in the remote suburb when the more central portions of the city are not, and will not be for some time to come, in a state of conges- tion People who have no intention of indulging in farming. or even in raising chickens, purchase lots three or four miles out, and even in some cases remote from car lines, when it appears on cursOry observation so much more convenient to live at least within the limits of the municipality. Of course it may be argued that city property is higher priced. While no contradiction can be presented to this, it may be pointed out that it costs just as much to build house in the country as in the city. Few houses are erected without their eventual sale, perhaps after many years, being taken into account by the owner, and the saving of a few hundred dollars on a country lot will not compensate for the difficulty which will be experienced when the owner finally tries to obtain a good price for his country home over the amount, with interest, of his original
 investment. Whereas, a city home, located perhaps within walking dis tance of Center and Washington streets, will always find a more ready sale, especially to visitors from eastern cities who are accustomed to the conveniences of large residential districts. The general appearance of the city, which now resembles, though very remotely, a flapjack that has stopped over at the edges, would be

One of the staunch and reliable financial institutions of the city on which periods of business depression have had little effect and which has been under practically the same man agernent for nineteen years is the Phoenix Building and Loan associa- ton which closed it's thirty-ninth series last week, declaring a dividend of four and a half per cent on the six months. leaving a substantial un- divided profit besides. The state ment of the association will be is sued during the coming week.

One of the busiest architects of fices in the city is that of D. w. Mil
 lard. The S4,OOO house designed by Mir. Willard for H. O. WinslOw is about completed. It is on Palm Lane, east of the Indian school. Perhaps one of the most beautiful homes now in course of erection in the city is
 that being built for Dr. W. c. Lentz. It is on Center street, between the Tweed and Hartranft residences. Be fore it is finally completed it will cost something over $10,000. e addi- tion to the house, one of the finest barns in the territory will be erect-' on the grounds. The house will prob ably be completed some time in De- cember. Another piece of work on which MT. Willard is engaged is the addition which is being built to the Wells Fargo building. The upper part of this addition will be used for the Virginia hotel. The cost of this ad- dition is $5.500. Mir. Willard is draw ing up plans for many city homes. many of them in the bungalow style
