so small a structure as a bungalow. The house purchased by Mir. Bullard, is one solution of this problem. The little touches of Spanish are kept simple and conform with the size of the building.
 The house has five rooms, bath, a dining pantry and a kitchen pantry and screen porches. The porches are. of cement with walks and steps of the same material The character istic open beam ceiling work appears only in the halls. Heavy oak chande- Hers, suspended by chains are in the dining and living rooms.
 Ever since the house was far enough along so that the general lines and design were evident, there have been many inquiries about it. It caught Mrs. Bullard's eye one day as she was driving by. She went through the house before it was com pleted and decided at once that it was the house she wanted. Mir. Bullard agreed with her that it was just the sort of thing they were both looking for and began negotiations which resulted in the purchase The house was bought from c. J. McElrOy and AdOlph EautZ through the firm of Greene and Griffin. William Null len was the contractor.

HOUSES AND BRIDGES
 ARE BEING BUILT
Reclamation Service Begins Work on Ten Bungalows-Four Bridges Un-
 der Construction.

In the improvement and develop
 ment of the valley there is little that is being done that is of more i'm portance than the work of the recla- nation service. There are now under construction, four concrete bridges across the Grand canal, and in addi- tion to this construction which is al-
 most within the city limits, ten or
 more five and six room houses are soon to be erected for the use of the zanjeros. These homes will be scat tered about the valley. The amount of money the government is spending on these two pieces of construction alone which will be of direct and
 immediate benefit to Phoenix, will amount up into the thousands.
 Plans for the houses are now, be- ing drawn in the office of Thornton
 Fitzhugh. They will be constructed of concrete blocks manufactured by a
 machine recently purchased for the
 purpose by the reclamation service.
 They will be five and six room houses with screen sleeping porches. The blocks are now being manufac-
 tured, and work on the first of the
 bungalows will begin within a week or so. The house will be a story and a half and so arranged that the upper floor can be completed at any time. When all of the ten or more homes are completed the block ma chine will be used for other work
 in connection with the service, or sold. It was deemed the most eco nomical and eXpedient way of con structing such a large number of houses.
 Sites for many of the houses have already been selected and purchased. One will be erected at the switching station one mile east of Mesa Another will be built on the south side of Granite Reef and still anoth- CT on the north side for the use of the gate tender. These bungalows will be begun at once and later on one will be built for each of the zanjeros.
 The first of four of the bridges that will be built across the Grand canal has just been completed. It is the one at the Center street crossing.
 It is a concrete arch 42 feet long and 35 feet wide. The form work on the bridge at Grand avenue Is near ly finished and the running of the concrete will begin this week Work is rapidly progressing on another bridge at the Mcdowell road crossing and the one at the Tempe road crossing. The four bridges are built
 in sequence so that the form work of
 one can be used at least partially for
 the others. All of the bridge work
 put in by the reclamation service is constructed with a view to perman- ency. Engineer Stannard says that the bridges should be there and in good shape in the year 5000. The concrete is all reinforced with steel
 and the bridges are built of as solid material as the Romans used in the construction of aqueducts, which
 have survived through the ages There will be no necessity for re- pairs or maintenance after the bridges are finished, as the concrete will simply grow harder and better with age A roadway of earth will be thrown over the top of the concrete to take up the wear and when this is worn down more will be added The entire work will be finished in three months. w. A. Parrish has
 charge of the construction.

While the realty market of the week just passed cannot be characterized as a dull" one, on the other hand, it did not sparkle with any large deals, that make the real estate dealer next door to the lucky firm sit up and take
 notice. There were no sales of whole sections reported. though there is at least one in process of consummation at the present time. There were some eighties that changed hands, but most of these were withheld at the request
 of the purchasers. A notable activity in city property, and especially in the business district, has been observed
 in the last two weeks. It began with three or four good sales q week ago and there is now pending one of the biggest transactions in city property that has been made during the year. It Is reasonably certain that the week just beginning will see some lively de- velOpments along this line. Ranch property should also take a turn for
 the better. as the announcement made in this issue of the first motor line
 in the valley will undoubtedly act as
 a stimulus to the property lying along the proposed route. Too much impOr
 tance cannot be placed on this pro posed railroad. If there is anything that the valley needs more than cheap 1 fuel it is a network of trolleys, and
 this appears to be the genesis of it. | A motor line, which will carry freight | as well as passengers, will do more to- ward the development of our resources i than any other project requiring the ! same preliminary investment.

certain faith in the future of Phoenix; it is equally a sign of a renewed prosperity and better finan- cial conditions as the laying of side walks Is not compulsory with the property owners. As summer ap- breaches the building of walks will fall off to some extent only to be renewed in the fall. The many miles of clean cement walk laid during the winter of '09 is a credit to the city.

POINTERS


It is hoped that the apparent aban- donment of the real estate section of our evening contemporary vii not be construed to mean that the real estate business has been suspended for the present The facts are quite to the contrary. There has been within the past two weeks a larger influx. per haps, of visitors from outside states, who have come here with their bank books in their hip pockets, than at any time during the winter. In fact, 1t is just beginning to dawn on the country at large that Phoenix is on the map and that Salt River Valley comes nearer being the original Garden of Eden than that little quarter section over by the Euphrates that the his tOrians delight in pointing to as the original sugar beet tract that Adam and Eve occupied before they were dispossessed. Again. all real estate men look forward to March and April as the busiest months of the year. At that time property is at its lowest ebb and sales are, consequently, easier of consummation. Spring, with it's conse- quent quickening in the realty market. with its harvesting of crops. with its renewed building buildings for fall rental-is almost upon us. The lapse into desuetude of our contem- porary's realty section should not, therefore, be accepted as evidence that nobody will ever again sell any more valley real estate.

There are more cement sidewalks being laid in Phoenix today than at any time in the previous history of the city. City Engineer Turney re- ports that the cost of laying the walks is now about s2.0O0 a week and has been at this maximum price for the past month. Two months ago the amount spent weekly for side
 walks was about s1,00O. The laying of block after block of fine cement sidewalk is not alone an evidence of

GEORGETOWN TO MEET
QUAKERS TOMORROW

The last double game series of the
Blue and Gray base ball schedule will
start tomorrow when the wearers of the
Red and Bue Of Pennsylvania meet
the locals for the first time this season.
It will also be the first Of the three
games on the list with the Philadelphians,
the others being dated, one for Saturday
and one. for May %. This will be the
first time in a number of years that the
rival teams have been matched for more
than two contests, but as the fates have
In the past been in the habit of handing
out victory to each aggregation it
son between the contending mines could
be gotten If an odd battle were fought.
Starting out last fall with the prospects
of having the greatest bunch of diamond
stars in years, the Quakers have had
their ranks thinned out by faculty rul-
ings, conditions and other causes, until
now their lineup is composed almost en-
tirely OF new men. But notwithstanding
this fact they have a pretty formidable
aggregation left. and their record so far
shows that the team that trims them will
have to go some. Only last week they
ran away with Holy Cross, nine that
has shown unusual ability In the line
Of ball tossing. exhibitions of which have
attracted considerable local attention dur
ing the past few days. Always eager to
scalp the Hilltoppers. the visitors to
Georgetown Field tomorrow will play
with their old-time vim, and there is no
doubt that the battle will rank on
q par with the eleven-inning one Of
last spring. which was about as exciting
a contest as has ever been seen on the
West End diamond.

Of Bowerman's Doves. The Bostons
started out at terrific pace with the bat,
and among those disabled by the Boston

GOTCH WINS IN
TWO STRAIGHT FALLS

CHICAGO April 15.-Frank Gotch last
night retained the worlds championship

falls at the Dexter Park Pavilion. throw
ing the subject of the sultan IN eight
minutes and nine minutes ten seconds re-
spectively. Not only did the champion
not have to resort to his noted toe grip,
but he showed conclusively that he was
the master at every stage of the game.
All of Mahmout's boasted strength avail
ed nothing when Gotch brought his mus
cles into play, and the champion fairly
crumpled his opponent in his grasp when
he went after him at top speed.
1t was by very simple grips which re-
quired him to be far the stronger that
Gotch beat his man. for it was with a
half Nelson, a crotch hold and sheer
strength that he Won his victory While
it only took seventeen minutes TO decide
whether the championship should remain
in America, 1t was seventeen minutes full
of action. Gotch kept after his man from
the start and Mahmout seemed very will
ing to mix things But when he did. it
was only to be crushed In Gotch's grip.
No wrestling bout ever held here was
attended by such an enthusiastic crowd of
spectators. From the start of the bout
there was Wild cheering among the spec
tators. who packed every available inch
of space In the building, and the sound
rose to roar which rose and fell like
thunder as the two men struggled about
the mat. Gotch's aggressiveness sent the
crowd fairly wild and 1t was only around
the ring that the chairs were occupied
Elsewhere in the house the amphitheater
presented vista OF bowling enthusiasts
surging about. on their feet and wildly
cheering the American to victory.
Though the Turk was beaten. he at
least took his defeat gamely. His face
was as impassive when it was all over
and his hopes were gone as when he first
stepped on the mat. His manager, Atom
Pirri. did not take the affair with the
same oriental impassivity.
