though it is now in good condition. About half Of it is in cultivation. Streets and cross streets will be put in.
 MT. Giles bought this rnnch from Corydon c. Merrymar. q Chicago banker, about five ye ITS ago. He bought it at a tine when the nope of obtaining water for it was vague and uncertain and displayed his courage and conviction in the valley by investing at that time. It is prob able that MT. Giles paid about $40 or $50 an acre for it then and his profit on the deal has been tremendous.
 Another sale made yesterday was that of the Joel NOfzinger ranch of so acres to C. E. Stewart, of Ioaho, for $15,O0O. The Nofzinger ranch, which was the old Gaylord place. is three miles west of the fair grounds, in section 33. It is well improved, is all in alfalfa and has a house on it.. Mir Stewart will move on the ranch with his family at once. He is a new arrival in the valley. He says that Idaho is all right, but that he doesn't like the climate, and that is the reason why he made his present move.
 The third sale of yesterday was the D. H. Burtis ranch in section IA, 1 north ! east. It is the northwest corner and is about one mile south and one and a half miles west of the Fowler school It is desert land and was sold at a bargain. a little more than $30 an acre being the price paid. It is probably as big a snap in desert land as could well be found and ad- joining tracts are held from $50 up. It was bought purely as an invest ment by E. P. Lathrop, who resides in Southern California. Lathrop was out here a while ago and looked at the land and his check for the first payment was received yesterday.
 For H. B. Wilkinson 16O acres of the Lowe ranch, one mile north and two west of the Fowler school, was sold to w. H. Banks for $l6,OOO This is the northeast quarter of sec tion 3, north, l east. It is all in barley winch stands now five feet high. Banks, who is a mining man and has lived in various towns in the territory for fifteen years, will build on it and make it his home Wilkinson has had the land about two years.
 For Harry c. Thomas the house at 1925 North Center street was sold to Mrs. Mary J. Flaherty for 5000. It is a new six room bungalow. The lot has a frontage on Center street of 62h feet.
 Two two-acre lots in the Dennis addition on Seventh street were sold for J. J. Kolberg, of the Arizona laun- dry. to E. Hanson, for $4,500. While MT Rice and MT. Nall were working on the larger deals they managed to find time to sell a number of city lots. one on Sixth street two on Seventh and one in Montezuma place, on the Tempe road, and three lots in the Collins addition, at prices ranging from $1OO to s350. The ag- gergate of these lot sales amounts to about S1,300.

The large amount of construction and reconstruction work now under way in the valley by the reclamation service includes the building of twenty bridges agross the Grand canal at the intersection of the section lines. Four of these bridges are of the type pictured above.
 In a general way the scheme of the reclamation service consists in the en- largement of the Grand canal so that nearly the entire district between that canal and the river with the exception of a part which will be watered by the MaricOpa canal will be irrigated by the Grand. The larger part of the Mari copa canal, which runs almost parallel with the Grand and only about half mile from it, will be cut off, as will the old Appropriators which is a prac tically useless ditch, as it runs by the side of the Grand.
 The scheme also includes the deep ening of the Arizona canal. the placing of flood gates in it at several points, the digging of a crosscut canal which will run south from just above the falls and the erection of a power house on this crosscut.
 For the purpose of dredging the Ari zona a new Ledgerwood scraper buck ct eXcavator has been purchased. the first car load of which has arrived It will be installed on the bank of the canal near Evergreen. With this dredge and the floating dredge now in use. the progress of the work should be fairly rapid. Gates will be put in at Evergreen on the McDowen road so

Weeks Sales Amount to
 sll6,8OO
GILES PROPERTY SOLD
Many Other Big Deals Are Made by Rice and Nall Including the Sales of the Wilkinson and Nofzinger Ranches.

The most remarkable list of sales made by any firm in any one week of the entire year is that of l.. J. Rice, of the trust department of the Union Bank, who sold S116,- 500 worth of property since last Monday morning. In addition to this amount they have on the record sales amounting to $52, 300 made since the first of April. making an aggre- gate for the month, not yet finished of S169,3O0.
 Of the sales made during the week three were closed yesterday, which amount to SsO.OOO. The largest of these was the purchase by Q syndi- cate of four Phoenix men of the ". A. Giles ranch of 52O acres for S7O,- 900. While the price paid for this ranch was not given out, it was learned from other sources that the price was about S125 an acre which would amount to $65,000, but others placed the price at s7O,000. The names of the purchasers have not been learned, but it is understood that the tract will immediately be cut up into small farms of any size desired, ranging from ten acres to eighty, and placed on the market.
 The ranch is in section 24, ? north, 2 east, and is about a mile and half north of the fair grounds It is one of the best pieces of soil in the val ley and was originally irtenfed by MT. Giles as an ideal ranch. It is just near enough town for fine coun- try residences and small farming tracts. The ranch will be improved.

ERDMAn SELLS RANCH
 AND LODGING HOUSE
Twenty two Acre Ranch Belonging to Rev. J. H. Singleton Among the Sales.

The biggest sale made by Dick Erd- mans during the week was that of the Cleveland ranch, owned by the Rev. J. H. Singelton. It comprises 22 acres and is situated on the Park road about three miles northeast of the city. It was sold to Mrs. Alpha Miles of SOP South Third street. Mrs. Miles will move ont to the ranch at once and make it her home. The price paid was S5500
 Mrs. Miles hOms was also sold by Erdmans to J. w. Robinson of San Diego, for $500. Mir. Robinson is an employe of the New York Store and bought the place on South Third street as a home for his family.
 Another sale was that of the St. Francis rOOming house, just east of the post office. It was bought by Mrs Rose H. Long. who will continue to conduct it as a lodging house. The former owner was G. F. Watson.

The contract will be let June 1 for the demolition of the old Bank of Arizona building at the corner of Center and Washington streets, and within thirty days afterwards the foundations of the new four story off, flee and bank building will be laid.
 Many changes have been made in the original designs of the building The exterior of the first designs sub mitted by w. J. Bliesner, the archi- test, were rather plain in appearance but the last front elevation is much more ornate. All of the wainscOting in the bank proper will be from one single log of white mahogany. The log will be brought tu Phoenix and sawed here, and the grains matched to give a decorative effect. The pill lars will be of scagiola, with terra cotta capitals and ornaments. The doors to the building will be copper covered and the elevator shaft en- cased in metal, so that there will be very little woodwork.
 MT Bliesner is also designing sev- eral pretty homes, one of which is a s4,000 house for H. A. Diehl and an other is a ranch house for MT. Ware, which will be built at AIhambra.

From a news point of view the sale of a piece of business property to a resident of Phoenix is more important than the purchase by an outsider of a five-acre tract for home building pur- poses. But from the point of view of the welfare and future prosperity of the valley every sale, no matter how small, made to the prospective settler from another state, is infinitely more important than the sale of Jacks store to Bill. Three of the sales made by the Dwight B. Heard office during the week, while the aggregate of the sales did not mount up very far in the thousands, were for the purpose of home building. C. A Keller, formerly of Flagstaff. bought ten acres in the Monte Vista tract. A sale by wire was made to J. A. Taylor of Ambridge. Pa, of a tract in the HOmewOod addition. Miss McCarty of Wakuna, Wis. bought a 40-acre ranch near Buckeye from W. w Willis. In addition to these the Heard office expects to close on Monday another sale in the Los Olives addition which will mean the erection there of $5000 home.

that in case of Q severe storm the water can be shut off.
 The old crOsscut canal will be event ually cut out. There Is a drop of 125 feet in this canal which is now taken up with numerous falls by placing the crosscut just east of the buttes. Most of this drop can be utilized in one fali which will be about a mile north of the river. This is the place where the power house will be erected. It is estimated that about 5000 horse power will be generated from it.
 Of the concrete bridges now under construction by Engineer Parish, the one at the Center street crossing of the Grand canal which is reproduced above, is finished. Another one at AL hambra is about completed and the one at the Mcdowell crossing is three -fourths finished. The other bridges will have concrete abuttments and timber frame work

for the conduct of much business. It is hard to account for the fact that more sales are made at the latter end of the business year than the earlier part. but there may be something in the fact that people who have had their eyes on particularly choice bit of land, ard are simply waiting for terms do not like to leave for the summer with the deal suspended.

POINTERS

The next two months in the realty business will probably be the liveliest of the year-if the precedent set by last years sales is followed. Up to the very last days of the month of June last year the acticity was well sustain ed and some of the larger deals of the year were made when one would pre-

Maryland Lotteries.

A Baltimore man interested in anti
quarian research made q collection Of
old lottery tickets which gives interest
ing testimony as to the development
Of public morals. Most of the tickets
were given out by Maryland lotteries,
but quite as large a collection could
undoubtedly be made in other states.
Four of the tickets are in the Wash
ington monument lottery, which was
authorized by the legislature and was
not given up until 1924. AS early as
1853 lottery was advertised to build
a wharf. The drawing took place April
80, 1914. Ten years later one was I'M
dertaken to build a market house in
Baltimore Town" and for buying
two fire engines and a parcel Of leather
buckets" In 1882 a yearly lottery
was authorized to aid the city eX-
penses. Other objects for which
money was raised in this way were
parsonages, church bells, circulating
libraries and gristmills.

word to Frankfort persons interested
in the unwilling, that it will have to
