POINTERS


The Southwestern Realty company has inaugurated a system of up-to- eminute. metropolitan advertising They started out two days ago with a gigantic red war kite which was sent up from the top of the postoffice building. It was the intention to have the kite carry an enormous banner on which the emblem of the company, Its the Soil" would appear in large letters. The gentleness of the Arizona breezes, however, which is one of the inducements always made to prospec- tive investors here, prevented the ban ner going up with the kite. Later on the kite will be tried again. Yesterday new scheme was adopted. The old est inhabitant of Maricopa county, Peleg Quartz, who is now in his nine ty-sixth year. appeared on the streets dragging a small red wagon filled with some of the soil that is it" He could easily be traced from one street to another by the ragged line of Glendale loess he left behind him. The old gen tleman attracted a great deal of at tention and had to answer many ques- tions about the soil and the place where it could be purchased

BIG BUYS" PRECEDE
 COMING OF TROLLEY PURCHASERS DOPE" OUT SUB-
 URBAN LINE COURSE. Southwestern Realty Company and Dick Erdmans Make Sales in
 the Favored Locality.

The last two weeks have seen ar
 unusual activity in realty transaction.
 in that part of the valley that lies directly north of Phoenix A large
 amount of ranch land, about si, miles north of the city and the same distance east of Glendale, has changed [ hands since the Suburban Railway !. company applied to the city council
 for a franchise. It would appear that
 some of the activity in this part of
 the valley is due to the contemplated
 trolley lines. Though the routes are
 not yet definitely known, there is lit-
 tie doubt that some of the purchasers have 'doped" out the course and
 made their buys accordingly.
 Two large sales were made during the latter part of the week by diff ferent real estate firms in the same section. The southeast quarter of section ', range 2 north, east, was sold through Dick Erdmans to c. w. Goodman, superintendent of the In- dian school; Frederick Snyder, as-
 sistant superintendent. and R. w
 Charles of Washington. D. c. The property was formerly owned by the D. H. Brown estate. The price paid was announced as s2O,OOO This is desert land, signed up under the Ton to Basin. It is directly across the road from the Arndt orange grove and a half-mile from North Central avenue That it will not be far from one of the proposed trolley lines is fair gamble.
 MT. Charles, who is the third mem Der of the syndicate that purchased this ranch property, has been in the valley about a week, and returned yesterday to Washington.
 Within a day of the sale of this quarter-section, the adjoining quarter in the southwestern part of the sec ton was sold through the South western Realty company to T. M. Earnhardt. It was sold by John Nroman. the consideration being s19,- 600. MT. Vroman has held this land about three years. It will now be improved by Mir Earnhardt and placed under cultivation.
 Another sale made by the South western Realty company, not far from this tract and one that is also a first class gamble as far as trolley lines are concerned. is that of twenty acres and an unfinished home in the OrangewoOd tract, to Alfred Coolidge. for $l1,00O, the details of which are given in another article in this sec tion of The Republican.
 The sales mentioned are but a few which have been made in this part of the valley. Several more were made last week, but have not been given

Valuable Center Street Block

It Was Purchased by Mrs. L. C. Porter From the Murphy Estate--Consider- ation Said to Be $25,00O.

A deal will be closed tomorrow by which the block on South Center street now occupied by the Denver lodging house upstairs and the Lightning de- livery, the owl saloon and a cigar store on the street floor will be sold by the Murphy estate to Mrs. Lulu c. Porter. the proprietor of a lodging house next door to it The consideration was not given out, but it is understood to be in the neighborhocd of S25.O00.
 It is a three-story brick building with a frontage on Center street of 5S feet and a depth of 50 feet It is located between Washington and Jef- ferson streets.
 The transaction was made through j. W Walker. and is the largest re- cent sale of business property that has been made since the sale of the corner opposite the Ford hotel.
 The building was erected twenty one years ago and was first designed as a theater. It was used for many years as Phoenix's first opera house s. B. Patton built it and ran the opera house for some years, and then the management was turned over to Hirschfield and Fleischman- During the period in which Patton had pos session of the block it was remodeled several times. and finally was made into a rooming house. It was first a two-story building and later the pres ent third story was added. Patton then built the Doris theater and sold the Patton opera house to James Mur- r,bx- v-ho was oua oF fba earliest Set- tiers of Phoenix. Murphy died about ten years ago and the property was inherited by his children. of whom Constable James Murphy is the oldest son.

For the season of 1910 there will probably be plenty of trees MT. Fleming has recently sent 5OO00 navel buds to Florida. where they will be budded on sour roots and returned here next year as navel trees from five to seven feet high.
 The three carloads of trees will be distributed in all parts of the val ley. Mesa, Tempe, Glendale and the country surrounding Phoenix will all get a portion of them. It is inter esting to note that a large number .of them are going to Glendale and that fair acreage in that vicinity will soon be planted in oranges

CHESTER PLACE LOTS
 AND RANCH LAND SOLD
A Prosperous Week for the Elliot
 Evans Company.

The Elliot Evans company reported a fairly prosperous week. In quiet way this firm continues to average one or more good sales of ranch land each week, and no week goes by with out more lots in Chester place being disposed of. Few of the new addi- tions that have been plated have sold out quicker than Chester place.
 One month ago there was a fine field Of alfalfa where Chester place is now. There are now three houses in course of construction there and plans are being drawn for several others One of the pretty residences in course of construction is that of T. l.. Edens on Fifth avenue, which is now up as far as the roof The foundations are being laid for the future residences of c. ". Jayred. In addition to the lots already sold Dr. O. w. White pur- chased q hundred-foot frontage on Sixth avenue and Mckinley street, and Mrs. L. A. Wittenmeyer also pur- chased on Sixth avenue last week The class of homes that is now being built in this neighborhood and those already in the adjoining Bennett addition, the growth of the city in this direction, and the immediate prospects of a car line, all tend to make Chester place one of the most desirable locations for first class homes in the city.
 The Elliot Evans company also sold for Frank J. Blount to Nelson Brad ley 40 acres in section 1, range north. east This is unimproved land lying close to orange groves and is consid- cred an exceptional buy. While the price is not made known, it was gen orally understood that Mir. Bradley got a bargain. The land is about six miles north of Phoenix, and is another illustration of the recent activity in this part of the valley. spoken of in 1 another article in this section today.

THREE CARS OF
 ORANGE TREES
Twenty five Thousand Young Trees
 Will Be Shipped Here This Week.

During the week three carloads of young orange trees will arrive in Phoenix from Florida. There will be about twenty-five thousand trees in all. The first car is expected about Monday. Counting ninety trees to the acre, this means enough trees will be received to cover PIT acres. This is but one of the consignments of trees that are being received in Phoenix. M. C. Phelps recently sold 5000 trees which he ordered from Florida. The planting this spring would be considerably larger if plentiful supply of navel trees could be obtained. A good proportion of the trees in the shipment to Mir. Fleming are navels, but not nearly all of the orders could be filled. Valen- cias are being shipped in in large quantities.
