4 POOL BUYS CHR|STY RANCH Purchased by a Local Syndi-
 cate For s24,S00 II WILL BE SUBO|V|OED
The Deal Made Through the Greene& Griffin Company. Other Sales Made by Same Firm Indicate Live De- mand For City Lots.

The largest transaction in ranch land made during the week was the sale of the northwest quarter of sec tion 9, north, 3 east, to Edgar P. Grinstead and others for 2i.500. The land was purchased from Charles and Fred Christy.
 The land is about five and a half miles north of Phoenix and adjOins the OrangewOOd tract. It is in that section of the valley in which numer- ous sales have been made in the past few weeks, partly, perhaps, on account of the prospects of a sub urban trolley line in the neighbOr- hood within a short time. It is un- derstoOd that the land was pur- chased by a syndicate of which Captain Grinstead of the Indian school is head sI55 an acre for this land is considered an exceptional bargain.
 This tract, like many others which have been purchased of late for the same purpose, will be cut up into small farms of about twenty acres each and be given over to intensive farming. IL is part of a general movement that is gradually growing
 
 larger tracts into smaller ones that are better adapted for the needs of settlers. It has been found by experiment that twenty acres or even ten acres are quite enough for the support and maintenance of a family.
 another tract of twenty acres in the same district was sold 70 S S
 
 section 6. 2 north, east, and lies about six miles directly north of the city. It is just west of the Hahn place and within the orange belt
 Still another ranch sale made by the Greene & Griffin company was fifteen acres to John G. Skelly for s2,775. This tract is in the southeast quarter of section 27, north. . east, and is highly improved Two other transactions in orange land are on the tapis, but have not yet been completed.
