TRENTON, April 14-cfoverror Fort
and the Republican Senators sealed the
fate of public utilities legislation, if it
had not already been sealed, at a con

Senators have decided that the Martin
public utilities commission bill, which
passed the house, should die in Senator
Wakelee's committee.

A NEW DAIRY.
George fiichard Has Established One
 at Buckeye.

George Pilchard came to Phoenix from Baltimore. Md. on the 7th of this month. Today he is the owner of a herd of first lass Holstcin and Dur ham dairy cows. and has leased the Lyman ranch at Buckeye. This piece of property is especially adapted for his purpose that of conducting a first class dairy, as the entire so acres is covered with a splendid stand of all falfa. There is plenty of water and shade and there is every reason to eX- pect that MT. Richards venture will prove a distinct success.
 He had been in the dairy business at his home. but decided that the Salt River valley was a more prosperous prospect. hence his moving here. He plans to make first class butter and the usual dairy products and guar antees absolute cleanliness and purity. Mir. Pnchard has already taken posses sion of his new place and is rather an example of progressiveness, having completed the deal and established himself in less than three weeks.

for a concrete warehouse, 115 feet long by S7 feet wide. IL will be used, when completed, as the commissary department and the base of supplies.
 The reclamation service recently purchased three lots, each 90 by so feet, and on this land the new build ing will be erected. Additional land adjoining the cite will probably be purchased on which to erect the garage and machine shops.
 The new warehouse will be prac- tically fire proof. Twelve inch con- crete pilasters are being built at in- tervals of eleven and a half feet and between these pillars a four-inch wall will be put in. The roof will be sup ported by wooden truss spans 65 feet long. The roof will be of corrugated iron. On three sides of the building will be platforms for the loading and unloading of supplies. The office will be in the southe2st corner of the warehouse
 The designs for the building were made by F. Teichman. W. A. Parish has general charge of the work while the construction work is under the immediate supervision of Kenneth Shibley, assistant engineer of the service.

 From the number of inquiries I am receiving in regard to bungalows for the sea shore, mountain or lake side it would seem as if very many peo- pie are already making arrangements or at least talking about their sum- mer outings. l show this week a bungalow just designed for a summer residence on one of the Wisconsin lakes. It is attractive outside and comfortable but plain as pipe-stem' inside. The exterior construction is all of rough undressed lumber and to be stained. Porch floors and steps are of wood laid with white lead joints. The roof is shingled.
 Inside we have a large living and dining room combined, with broad brick mantel and fireplace, a well arranged kitchen with outside porch and three good sized bed rooms.
 There is no bath room nor toilet for the reason that there is no water sup ply except from a well or spring. To economize space and cost the closets

ExcaVating Work Will Start Within a Week.

The huge, uncOmely excavation lat the corner of Monroe and First Iavenue, which has been a perma- nent advertisement of Uncle Sam's de- liberation in business matters, will
 soon be filled up and a new one dug at the southwest corner of the same
 block, which will mark the initial

 building.
 Work on the new building will doubtless begin within a week or ten days. The finances are in good shape and the unpaid subscriptions will be collected as fast as possible. Ten thousand dollars has been received from the government in payment of the land sold for the federal building and other funds, subscribed by prop erty owners in the neighborhood, are at hand. Clinton Campbell, who has charge of the work of construction, is anxious to begin at once and will undoubtedly be permitted to do so, as there is nothing now that stands in the way of the early completion of the building.
 The revised plans were received during the week from H. C. Frost. the architect. Some changes had to be made in them when the site was all tered. The exterior plans were chang ed somewhat as the west side of the building will now face the street instead of the east side as at first Some alterations were made with the arrangements of the rooms to conform with this change, but the plans as they now stand will probably be acceptable to the building

DR. TOSS TALKS ABOUT
 TWO TELEPHONE SYSTEMS
CITY RAPIDLY GROWING AND ADEQUATE SYSTEM NEG
 ESSARY.
The Rights of the Public Are Care fully Guarded in the Franchise" |" Says pr. Foss.

Dr. J. ". Foss. the most active spirit in the proposed new telephone com pany. was asked yesterday to state something of the situation as to the telephone franchise asked for by him self and associates. Dr. Foss stated as follows:
 The object Tn asking for a new tel ephone franchise from the city of Phoenix. was to obtain for the poole Of this city and valley the opportunity of securing a satisfactory and up-to date telephone service at a reasonable cost
 T and my associates are asking for this franchise without any expectation of profiting from 1t financially. We believe however. that this city is on the eve of a large and rapid increase in population, and as our telephone service has been steadily growing less efficient and at present is a hindrance to the social and business welfare of this section. it is our intention to rem edy these unsatisfactory conditions, should a franchise be granted us.
 Under the franchise for which we asked. the rights of the public have in every possible way been carefully safe guarded. and under the provisions of this franchise the rates to be charged for main line telephones are limited to S250 and on party lines to s150 and the privilege is given the city at any five year period. of taking over the

plant on exceptionally favorable condi- tiOnS
 We propose to give the people of this community. by cooperating in the financing of the new system, the opportunity of making of the new sys- tenn purely cooperative one. thus insuring telephone service with the latest and best equipment at practi- caiiy the actual cost of operating.
 Tt would seem very improbable that under these conditions there would be any occasion or opportunity for two systems. If for any reason the people Of this vicinity do not desire to coop crate with Us in financing this prop ositioH on the basis above outlined it will then be necessary to ask outside financial aid. but before this is done the people of this community will be given the opportunity of owning and operating their own system"

TEN DAYS SALES
 AMOUNT 10 s5O,OOO
1. H. kipp, Wilbur Fisk ano J. C. Pearson Purchase Ranches Through Dwight B. Heard.

During the first two weeks iT
 March We found the demand for req estate not nearly as active as during
 January and February, but recently there has been a decided revival oi
 business and within the past ten days
 We hat closed some exceedingly de-
 sirable sales, aggregating $50, 900,
 said Dwight B. Heard yesterday.
 Of special interest among the sales
 made by the Heard office are the fol- ] lowing:
 1 For J. c. Norton, who has shown
 his confidence in Salt river valley real
 estate by many purchases from this
 firm during the last three years, 160
 acres in the west end of the valley about five miles southwest of Glen dale. were sold for Sl15 per acre, to Wilbur Fisk, rly of Tempe. This entire property is in cultivation and has been Harmed for many years; its water supply is furnished by the new sgovernment Grand canal, which in this portion of the valley has been very greatly improved during the past year.
 They have also recently closed a sale of I6O acres of very choice orange land northeast of Mesa, the property formerly having been owned by Mir. Sanders. IL was purchased by J. C. Pearson of Fl Monte, Cal The Heard office has already bought and sold considerable property for Mir Pearson in the last six months and expects to subdivide this lG0 acres in small tracts for him.
 Some time since they closed a con- tract for the sale of a very fine 240 acre tract belonging to w C. Daniels. about twelve miles west of town, the consideration being s1S.00O. This sale was consummated this week, the pur- chaser being I II. Kipp, who buys the place practically on cash basis. This is a finely improved piece of property and NIT. Kipps judgment in the buy has been proved by the fact that since the purchase he has been offered a handsome advance on this property which he has declined.
 In addition to the above sales which have been closed, they are just fin ishing the sale of 320 acre tract on the south side. details of which will be announced later. and have two Buckeye sales under way which will probably be closed next week
 When asked as to the general in quiry about real estate, MT. Heard stated: Every mail brings inquiries from parties interested in the Salt river valley; many of them. judging from the style of their correspond- ence. are earnestly interested in se- curing homes in this favored valley. I expect very favorable results from these inquiries and anticipate a very active business during the next few months"
