The birth in the near future OF

blending OF the progressive elements
that have attained such prominence

certainty.
IF new party Is to be formed 1t
must represent the whole people, and
the only issues upon which ii can be
formed are conservation and the
square DEAL, with all that these
terms have come to imply. And for
such a party the natural leader Is
Theodore Roosevelt who, more than
any other man alive today, holds the
affections OF the American people in
firm and lasting grip. He came to
the front at the moment when strong
man was needed to crystalize into ac-

Phoenix Building and Re atty Co.,, a New Corpora tion With Ample Capital,
 Launches a New Project in Addition to Phoenix.

One of the largest transactions in realty circles in the history of the Salt river valley was completed yesterday when papers were signed whereby 5. A. Leak transferred to the Phoenix Build ing & Realty company the 160 acres Of land one mile west of the capitol build ing on the Yuma road, known as the Wilson tract.
 MT. Leak had just recently acquired this property but says a man will never go broke taking a profit
 While the amount for which the property changed hands is not given, considering the fact that the property on every side of it is held at very high figure it is reasonable to suppose that the price paid was in the neigh borhood of s35,OO0 and even att this figure the general coucensus Of opinion is that it is the best to buy in the Sal. river valley. -r
 This tract of land. which will be sub- divided into lots and small acreages, will be placed on the market as the Willow addition to the city. It lies one mile west of the capitol on the north side of the Yuma road, and a more suitable piece of land could not be found for the purpose, being almost as level as a floor with just enough slope to give it proper drainage, and, being so close in, and almost adjacent to the capitol building, is by far the best large tract adjoining Phoenix suitable for subdivision.
 The company will spare neither money nor energy to make it one of ths most attractive suburban residence sections of the city of Phoenix. It is it's intention to set aside sufficient ground for schools and churches, and also a park. which will be designed especially as a playground for chill dren.
 The Phoenix street railway company has agreed to extend it's line three fourths of a mile west on Adams street to the corner of the property, and this will put Willow addition resi- dents within eight minutes from the business center of the city.

 You know the French people have the development of the bust and form down to fine point.
 By this French method, the breasts may be developed from ? to 8 inches in 30 days This applies to women of all most any age, from young girls to el- derly matrons, whether the bust is ab- solutely not developed at all, or has grown weak and flabby, and hangs, no matter from what cause. It Is beauty of form that attracks much more than the features. You will always find it so with both sexes.
