FEW SOLAR HEATERS
 USED IN PHOENIX
A Handy Device That Is Great Assistance in the Reduction of Gas Bills.

With the price of gas in Phoenix somewhat above the average price charged in cities of similar size in other parts of the country it is rather a surprising fact that more people are not making use of the suns rays for heating water. The simple de- vice of placing a few coils of pipe under glass on the roof will provide hot water nearly all the year around at a small initial cost. The saving which will result from the use of this device should pay for the cost of it within a year if the solar heater is of the simpler sort.
 In Southern California solar heat CTS are used quite extensively; yet the percentags of sunshine in that country is far less than it is here. In some parts of that state there are more homes provided with it than those without it. In Phoenix, as far as known, there are not more than four solar heatersA The most elab- crate is the one which Dr. Roy Thomas built on the roof of his house at second and Westmoreland streets.
 It is placed on the southern eX- posture of the roof. It consists of three metal circular tanks, each about eighteen inches in diameter and five feet long. The tanks are placed lengthwise with the roof, and slant upward with it. They are connected by pipes so that the hottest water rises to the tank nearest the gable. From this tank the water is drawn for use They are encased in a box lined with asbestos and painted black The box is covered with heavy glass, which is flush with the roof and made rain proof. Water is fed into the lower of the tanks by another square tank under the roof. The only real necessity of this tank is to regulate the pressure of the city water. and it can easily be dispensed with. This tank is prevented from overflowing by a ball valve which shuts off the water when the tank is full.
 The box containing the solar heater is lined with asbestos to prevent fire and also to conserve the heat Every thing should be painted black, In- cluding the tanks as well as the box DuIlnS lllt hlllltI lllOnlliS. Nlln lIt single exception of few cloudy days the water is hot enough for bathing purposes, though of course it cOols off during the night. In the summer it is used for the kitchen almost continuously.
 A solar heater on a much more simple plan is that which A. E. Spaulding is putting in on his new house, at Sixth and Taylor streets. It consists of a fifty foot coil of two inch pipe on the roof. The pipe is placed in a box and covered with glass. Sufficient hot water will be supplied by this system for ordinary use Six feet of pipe will contain one gallon of water so that about eight gallons of water will be stored in the coil. It is a duplicate of the heater which Fred Warren, manager of the ice factory. has on his roof
 Dr. J. C. Norton also has some sort\ of method of using the suns rays for heating water.

neighbOrs, and to cater to the fashions in vogue. These changes require large expenditures in new plans. new build ings and a umber of other ways. The telephone business presents no such conditions and requirements, no such frequent expenditures Of money, to meet the whims of the public All the public wants is adequate service and that is accomplished by the in stallatior of first-class material, in the first place, and good management, in the second.
 When it is considered that the se- curities of independent telephone com panies are among the best investments offered the public. I do not think we shall fail in gaining the support of the people of Phoenix for this one'

WILKINSON AND
 KAY SWAP RANCHES
Kay Gets a Quarter Section of Glen
 dale loess and Wilkinson Acquires Forty Acres Near the Indian School.

There were not very many sales of property of any sort during the week, but lest the real estate business should lapse into complete desuetude, Harry Kay traded forty acres out by the In- dian school to H B. Wilkinson for a quarter-section near Glendale.
 The forty acres are on the route that will be followed by the extension of the Indian school car line, announced last week by the Sherman interests. It is now an alfalfa field, but it will soon be plated and cut up into city lots.
 The 160-acre tract that Kay obtain ed by the trade is about three miles southwest of Glendale. It is said that one of the parties to the transaction presented the other with a bonus, but which one was not told.
