 "The most desirable feature of these sales however, is the fact that they will result in the creation of nearly a dog en new homes, and particularly grati- fying is the type O. new corners who are buying these homes, and the im- mediate improvements contemplated A summary Of our more important transactions during the last month will particularly illustrate this point.
 Under the Arizona canal we have sold 9 sevent.- acre tract to Messrs Schweppe and Field, both Eastern col lege men who for the past seven years have been associated with the United Fruit company in growing tropical fruits in Costa Rica. On the advice of orange experts from California they have bought this tract of land and are going to at once plant it In citrus fruits along the lines of the most inn proved and scientific practice.
 Another sale under the Arizona ca- nal IS a forty acre tract west of Glen dale which is now being improved by the owner in an effort to make of it model ranch.
 Under the Maricopa canal We have sold during the month eighty acres be- longing to O. H. Christy for s10.000 to Mir Frank Hilderbran. MT. Hilder- bran proposes to erect on this ranch fine suburban residence and to make of the property an up-to-date stock farm.

THE INDIANA PICNIC
 Al EASTLAkf PARK
Gathering of Hoosiers on March 19th-
 General Arrangements Made.

The Indiana society has issued call for a grand basket picnic and reunion day ct Eastlake park. on the 18th of March. At a recent meeting of the committee on general arrangements. the matter was taken up and discussed fully. and many Indianians were con- suited on the subject and the commit tee report was accepted at a later ses- sion O. the organization.
 The main purpose of the big gather ing O. Hoosiers is Of course to have big spread and a general good time. But besides this t is expected that some good missionary spirit will be instilled into the colonists here from that state, that will be the means of bringing greater numbers to the Salt river valley from HoOsierdOm. Most everyone will write long letter home concerning the incidents of the day and the people present whom they had known back home and others will con- tribute articles on the gathering to pa pers in the state. thus giving the valley much beneficial publicity.
 Everybody is asked to bring a well filled basket, to come in the morning and enio- the entire round of festivi- ties. While the program is not fully arranged. t IS understood that there will he band music, and a number of native poets. songs by the choir. speeches and games. The entire park will be at the disposal of the HOosiers.

MESA
RESERVOIR PROJECT.
To Be Taken Up by Queen Creek
 Farmers.

J. Stewart. in company with a party of Queen Creek ranchers. was in Mesa yesterday engaged n buying suppl es- and equipping an outfit for an inspec- ton trip near the source of the head waters of Queen Creek.
 The object of this expidition is to determine the feasibility of dammin. up large basin which has been form ed by erosion in the upper river bed. This site is located about ten miles west of the old trading post of Pinal government surveyors some time di- cided that this, the lower of the two basins in that district, admitted of the building of a large dam for the stor- age of the water there, as bedrock is easily reached at depth of only d few feet. ssx
 The proposed reservoir, if the pro ject is carried out, will be supplied by the accumulated waters of small streams, which together with the wa ters of Queen Creek proper. drain a watershed of an area covering 1900 square miles, and is bounded on the north by the Superstitution noun tains, on the east by the Penal range, and on the south by the Gila divide. The size of the body of water which will be formed by the stopping of these waters will be approximately eight miles in length and varying from one half to a mile in width. The canal, which is to be fed from this reservoir, will be 2S miles in length and will fol- low the north bank of the river. The nearest irrigable land to this reser- voir is fifteen miles. Fifty quarter sections of land have already been To- cated. the nearest of these sections be- ing 21 miles distant from the site of the dam.
 A method somewhat similar to that employed for many centuries in the valley overflowed by the Nile rlver in Egypt, has been persued by the Queen Creek farmers up to the present time, namely; by allowing the spring flood waters to overflow their lands, and thus raising their crops of grain from the rich deposits left by the receding waters. By this means from 4000 to 5000 sacks of grain are harvested yearly.
 By the use of a system of modern canals, it is estimated that an area of land more than twice as large as that now being planted, can be brought under cultivation in the valley.
 The ranchers living in that district have formed q company to be known as the Queen Creek Development com pany, the board of directors being J. ! A Stewart, George Mellett and James l Lisonbee. If this party of inspectors l report favorably on the intended pro- ject. the farmers there will furnish the | funds necessary for the building of the dam at that point.

Ernest Crismon yesterday captured peculiar specimen of the turtle tribe and brought it to town. Its head is long and narrow, with a sharp pointed nose, and somewhat resembles the head of the sea-horse. The neck of the animal when stretched to its ex- treme limit is about four inches long The shell is smooth and extremely soft. as it can be indented by slight pressure of the fingers.
